  South Park 201 uncensored 5.1 surround audio idea
Posted by: uVSthem - 2021-09-17, 10:23 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (11)

I looked around to see if anyone has made this already and couldn’t find anything. I don’t have the software to see if this would work so I’m just typing my idea here on how I would do it if I could.

      South Park episode 201 original had its audio censored. An uncensored stereo mix was leaked to the internet afterwards you can read about it here.

https://lostmediawiki.com/South_Park_%22...com;_2010)

     When the episode was released on bluray, the audio was in 5.1 surround but still censored. I figured we can take the dialog from the uncensored leaked stereo audio and use it to replace the center channel in the 5.1 TrueHD track on the bluray. The uncensored audio is 16bit, 48hz FLAC and the bluray’s audio is TrueHD 16bit, 48hz so I assume the quality shouldn’t be that much off from each other.
     Now, I don’t know how for sure you would isolate the dialog from the uncensored but if I had to take a guess, I would run it through some kind of matrix Dolby surround software, if that is even a thing. That would put all the dialog into the center channel. If you could somehow make that center channel its own wav file, it could then be slapped over the center channel of the bluray and then be used to encode a whole new 5.1 TrueHD track, no?

  Frank Herbert's Dune (2000)
Posted by: Doctor M - 2021-09-16, 07:05 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (17)

Considered by many to be the weaker interpretation of Frank Herbert's novel, the miniseries is, to date, the most faithful. (I don't want to start a discussion of the upcoming movie, but I do not have high hopes for it based on publicity and early reviews (and the lack of greenlighting for parts 2 and 3(?)).)

TV budget aside, I think most issues that fans of the books have with this version were resolved in the extended cut that wasn't widely seen.

The U.S. DVDs are out of print, and the international Blu-ray releases are of the broadcast(ish) version and full of technical issues.

Additionally, there is the problem that this was filmed on 35mm, but the effects were finished in standard definition. (I can't remember where I read that originally.)

On HDBits there is a hybrid edit of the BD sources by DON:

Quote:German Blu-ray has worse picture quality but it has English intro and credits and also 24 fps audio.
So I used intro, credits and audio from German Blu-ray and the rest of video from French Blu-ray.
There's few lines of hardcoded subtitles in both video tracks, French subtitles are lot smaller
so I used those and added forced subtitles.
Source has a lot of aliasing, but that's gone when resized to 720p. Fixed dirty lines on the left and right.
Few scenes are cut in both Blu-rays when compared to DC NTSC DVD.
They are: 4 scenes were shortened (4 min 40 sec) in Part 1 (cut dialog) and 1 scene (37 sec) in Part 2 (cut dialog). Part 3 wasn't cut.

So it sounds like a nearly director's cut version, but I did notice the runtimes are weird.
Part 1 is 2-3 minutes shorter, Part 2 is 2-3 minutes longer and Part 3 is 2 minutes longer than the DC DVD.

A user named Esmerillon on MySpleen has stated that:
Quote:If memory serves, the length discrepancy may be the result of a framerate conversion issue. That is, the German Blu-ray may be slightly slower and pitched slightly lower than it ought to be ... a sort of reverse "PAL speed-up" effect.

Sigh, so the old OOP DVD is currently the best version.
I have no problem with BD's being downscaled and DVD's upscaled to make an ideal 720p version, but it sounds like this is more than a simple project when I initially considered tackling it myself.

Edit: Besides, no other movie can yet claim to have sequels covering books 2 and 3. With a young James McAvoy no less.
