Hey, guys.

Since I just learned to deal with multichannel editing in Resolve, I just started this project. 

Option 1: use the mono or Chace fake stereo mix for the front stage, meaning Left + Center + Right. Use TFM audio tool to generate fake surround channels for the Left side surround + Right side surround. Use the actual surround channels from the official 5.1 remix (editing out the most egregious modern sounds that don't match the front stage) and merge them on the Left and Right back surround so that I obtain a monophonic surround as would have been in 1984. Use the LFE from the Blu-ray 5.1.



Option 2: the same as option 1 except keeping the real Blu-ray surround channels in stereo, so that I end up transcoding my 7.1 project in PCM 2.0/FLAC 2.0 or 2.1 maybe, so that the true rear stereo gets merged with the front stage, giving the whole thing a sense of stereo, and the AV Receiver will then make it Dolby Surround.

Option 3: the same thing as options 1 and 2, except using Brad Fiedel's score album on the front stereo and use the mono on the Center only. That way, we would have a better stereo feel in the front stage. Now here's the catch: I only have that score in MP3 @ 128 kbps. So If anybody can chime in to provide the score in lossless, that would be better. Of course, I suppose the score is fitting for a 24 fps film print, not for a 23.976 fps Blu-ray cadence and would need to be reencoded losslessly to match a 23.976 cadence.

For now I'm doing it with the French dub of the Chace fake stereo, but TFM, when doing its own fake spacializing thing, created a disagreeable echo on the front stage, so I think I'll change that with the pure mono on the whole front stage (L+C+R) for option 1.

@Stamper, which French mono track is the best technically and the best sync to the 2012 remastered Blu-ray with or without MGM opening logo? I already know for the English track it's the 1991 Laserdisc.

Is there any fan edits or projects that contain the Chinese exclusive footage of this version of the movie? Including the end credits all with English subtitles?

Was wandering around looking for stuff like this. Been here before but it's been a long time and pretty sure I never registered last time. Hope all is well.

Been a minute since I've released some new syncs, mostly cause I've been backlogged with my discord and other project but I am here yet again to provide some good stuff. I've wanted to do something for Con Air for a while but just haven't really got to it until recently. Was a pretty easy going for the most part.

1. Original 5.1 Surround Mix (BD)
Con Air's Blu-Ray is infamously pretty terrible video-wise, however audio-wise it follows of the same trend as other Disney Blu-Rays of the era (i.e The Rock & Pirates of the Caribbean 1) in that it features the original theatrical 5.1 mix in PCM. I sourced this from a copy of the CEE BD but the US one is undoubtedly the same. It's a really great sounding mix and pares nicely with the remastered WEB-DL video. In a change of pace for my syncs, This sync is available in 16-bit 48khz DTS-HD MA 5.1 to all members new and old. I've decided from now on I will be rendering my surround syncs in DTS-HD MA for compatibility, this isn't a hard rule as there will be exception where i will render in FLAC (i.e Theatrical DTS, LD DTS)

2. 5.1 DTS Laserdisc Mix
Speak of the devil! This mix is actually kinda unique and I only really synced cause it had interested me and the wonderful @david49120 provided to me. The mix itself is MUCH louder than the BD 5.1 and I think it might honestly be a near-field mix but it still sounds pretty good and packs a nice punch. Available in 24-bit 44.1khz FLAC 5.1 for all members new and old.

Note: There's a scene near the end of the film with the character "Sally Can't Dance" where she says the line "Oh, men in uniforms". For some unknown reason this little bit has been removed from every home release of the film until the 4K Digital (the Blu-Ray actually had the "Oh" part of the line but the men in uniforms was cut). With a lack of a Theatrical DTS this line had to be patched back in using the WEB-DL remix audio, I have leveled the section to match both mixes so it shouldn't be too jarring. Interesting the DTS Laserdisc had an alternate line read for the pervious line "Ok Lady, hold it right there" so I tried my best to cut it to match the take from the BD/WEB (which I will assume is the theatrical take). This one little scene made this sync a little harder than it would have an easy breeze.

Till next time, peace!

Hello !!  Long time lover of movies (especially IMAX) and fan of communities. Love to see fan edits & cuts.

Really excited to find this forum.

Hi Long time lover of movies and fan communities. Excited to find this forum

Hi, I'm from Spain

Hi everyone! I'm looking for DTS audio from The Core (2003) made in japan Geneon dvd. It could also be Cinema DTS.

I hope to help people and that people help me..I mean all of us share each other

Hey guys.

Finally, it's ready.
4K release of The Exorcist. The badly dnr'ed exorcist scene of the UHD has been replaced with human-managed AI upscaled footage from the old bluray and the jump cut shot from the 35mm print (cleaned, of course). Regraded to remove the blue tint, and to be consistent with the UHD colors.
The UHD looks gorgeous, no need to do anything. Or almost anything. A couple of scenes are also regraded here, both in Regan's bedroom before the exorcism (also blue tinted). Other than that, only a handful of way too saturated shots are tweaked, just a little bit.

As for the sound, the original mono mix, and 1979 stereo remix from the '97 DVD are included (the '97 DVD audio surprisingly needed some sync'ing). I kept the Atmos track and a 5.1 ac3 compatibility track as well. All subtitles from the UHD are included.
