Hi folks - a rare 1985 hi-fi VHS soundtrack for you all, recorded from a pristine, previously unplayed copy. Superior to all subsequent releases of the film it seems, now synced to the UK Masters of Cinema Blu-ray (and synced even better than that disc, which is out by 1-3 frames at various times). PM for a link - enjoy!

Wonder if someone can help please? Bought the LD recently but unfortunately there’s a 30 second section where there’s a lot of crackling noise on side 2. I’ve tried cleaning the disc but it hasn’t made any difference.

Does anyone have the R1 DVD with the stereo mix they could share? Was thinking of patching a small section of that in when I sync it to the 4K and hopefully it won’t be noticeable.

Hey all, this is a very specific question, but I'm doing a fan edit of the 1973 Clint Eastwood movie, MAGNUM FORCE. Good movie, but they added a lot during production which was not in the original script (love interest, gratuitous murder scene, etc.) I did my editing in Premiere and encoding in Handbrake.

Is there a way to edit the original Blu-Ray's PGS subtitles to fit the new picture? I've kept track of the specific timecode of any of my deletions. 

I was originally hoping to use TSMuxer to break the original video file (with PGS) into several segments, then append them together in TSMuxer. But, when I do that, the subtitles only work up until the first segment break.

If all else fails, I suppose I'll just do a backup version where I hardcode English subtitles. Hoping to figure all this out because A) I have a close friend who is not a native English speaker and often uses subtitles to help B) I want to know if I can fan edit any foreign films

I'm on a Mac, FWIW.

Film's US poster has the Dolby Stereo logo but the end credits has a Dolby Stereo Digital logo.

The Warner Archive BD has only a 2.0 track.

So was this released theatrically in 5.1?

Seems unlikely the credits would be wrong... but the poster and BD suggest otherwise.

Here is the restored teaser trailer for one of my favorite movies

As usual, the green band, titles and credit cards have been re-created from scratch and matched the original teaser.

Enjoy

So I have a video source I want to clean up, a cartoon specifically. It's got a lot of jagged horizontal lines (aliasing). Downscaling and upscaling doesn't help, and I've had a look at a few filters, but none of them do the job. How do I fix this little problem?

Thinking about a True Lies project and curious if anyone has soundtracks from various sources.

I have the C-DTS and the US DVD. I thought I had the JPN DVD but unable to find it at the moment. I was most curious if anyone had the LD soundtracks (PCM, DD 5.1, DTS 5.1)? Thanks.

What was the original theatrical soundtrack for this?

The Blu-ray has a 5.1 mix, but the first DVD and LD had a 2.0 Dolby Surround mix.

I strongly expect the latter to be how it was heard in theatres.

The rough cut was reportedly mono for budget reasons, but it's likely the final Miramaxe version was some kind of stereo.

There's nothing on the film credits or poster art to indicate sound mix.

Anyone know?

Hey…I’m just another movie fan, but glad I’m here!
