![[Image: a4d57267da5c6fbb992d15ea07a2a8f2c462fdbc...d5dd5128ac]](https://forums.fanedit.org/proxy.php?image=https://64.media.tumblr.com/7af7213e76bb431b7e9b8fd3dbf34677/68464faecf36a940-29/s1280x1920/a4d57267da5c6fbb992d15ea07a2a8f2c462fdbc.png&hash=a4bc38ee1f79b3e5e8a201d5dd5128ac)
As a big fan of the out of order structure of Tarantino's scripts I always wanted to give this a try. But some deleted scenes play a big part in his original vision of this and they were only available in pretty low quality. The special edition Arrow released recently brought the scenes still in SD but upscaled to 1080i, so the blend with the official HD footage doesn't look too jarring. And of course, Tarantino's original ending was reinstated, which I always preferred anyway.
The edit is pretty much done, I just need to export it and give it a final look.
For those not familiar with Tarantino's script of this film, here's the list of changes:
- No voice over of Alabama during the opening credits.
- Drexl killing his buddies for the drug in the hotel room moved to right after opening credits (inclusion of extended scene where they discuss 'eating pussy').
- Cliff arriving in his trailer and finding Clarence and Alabama waiting for him moved to right after the Drexl scene, first time we see the characters.
- Dick Ritchie's audition for TJ Hooker moved to right after Clarence says to Cliff that he needs his help.
- Cliff pissed off at Clarence after hearing his story moved to after Dick's audition.
- Deleted scene of Alabama telling Dick the story of her name added to the scene the trio is driving to the Safari Inn.
- After they arrive at the hotel and Dick asks Clarence what he's doing in LA, insertion of "A Few Weeks Ago" title card and we go back to when Clarence and Alabama meet at the movie theater. (note: no such card in Tarantino's script, but the conversation between them happens differently and it's made obvious the next scene will take us back in time).
- Deleted scene of Alabama cheering after the movie is over added after Clarence fills her in on what's going in the film (Jack Black's cameo was kept obviously).
- Deleted scene of Clarence showing Alabama how Spider Man #1 looks like added after he asks if she would like to see it.
- Deleted scene of Clarence asking Alabama to marry him and she accepting added after she promises she'll never lie to him again.
- Deleted scene of Clarence and Alabama in the bathtub talking about Janis Joplin added right after they get married. "Piece of My Heart" is now playing in the background as they are clearly listening to her music during the scene, and Tarantino's script lists that particular song. (note: in Tarantino's script that scene was supposed to happen during their first night together, only they're dancing in Clarence's room during the talk not in a bubble bath. I thought the bubble bath seemed like something they'd do in their honeymoon rather than in their first night together, so I moved the scene to later in the film).
- Right after they find out Clarence took the wrong suitcase and Alabama says "these are not my clothes" we go back to the Safari Inn where Dick sees the drug and Clarence asks for his help to sell it.
- Small deleted scene where we see Dick is appalled at how cool Clarence is with the whole situation he's in added right after they choose the rollercoaster as the meeting spot.
- Moved the scene of Virgil appearing at Dick's house and talking to Floyd to play between the scene post rollercoaster ride where Elliott is sick and Elliott and Clarence talking to Lee Donowitz on the phone.
- Deleted scene of Vincent Coccotti in the elevator with his gang intrigued at Virgil's disappearance and telling them to go find out what's going on and fix the problem added right after Dimes and Nicholson tell their boss about Elliott's bust and the drug deal with Lee Donowitz. (note: in Tarantino's script both scenes are intertwined, playing back and forth. I tried to edit them like that but didn't like the result so they play separately).
- Insertion of the title card "The Big Day" after Clarence assures Alabama everything will work out for them and before Floyd gives them directions to get to the Beverly Ambassador. (note: in Tarantino's script the tile card appeared before the Clarence and Alabama scene where he tells her he hates airports while he takes care of all the damage Virgil's done to her. I preferred the title card a little bit later, before they're ready to leave to the hotel).
- Deleted scene of Dimes and Nicholson giving more shit to Elliott added to the scene they're testing the wire in the hotel room.
- Deleted scene where Clarence changes his mind about selling the drug and decides to leave fearing they might get caught and then changes his mind again and decides to do it added right after Dick sees he brought a gun and asks him about it.
- Deleted scene of Elliott in the hotel lobby stretching as a way to calm down and concentrate added before the trio enter the lobby and spot him.
- Original ending reinstated.

| Remap AC3 channels losslessly? |

Just checking if anyone knows of a way to remap the channels of an AC3 file without encoding? Is it possible to do this losslessly? Or do I need to convert to wav, remap and then encode as DTS HD or 640 kbps AC3 etc? Thanks

| DTS-HD MA 21ms delay when muxed on MKV |

I need some clarification about this.
So, let's say I have a M2TS file with a DTS-HD MA - let's assume it's in sync - and other audio tracks.
If I mux the audio and video streams into a MKV file, the DTS-HD MA would have a delay of 21ms - adding 21ms of silence in the beginning.
Now, if I mux back the streams into another M2TS file, would be the DTS-HD MA in sync again, or still retaining the 21ms delay?
And if I mux in another MKV, the delay would still be 21ms, or adds up and be 42ms?!?

| The Dark Side of Oz - HD 5.1 |

Since the dawn of home video people have been watching The Wizard of Oz while listening to Dark Side of the Moon. To make it a more cinematic experience I've taken the the 5.1 mix of the album and synced it to the blu-ray video.
This project starts with the film audio, fades into the album going through it about 2 and half times. I added a fade-out at the end, otherwise it just ends in the middle of a song.
I have it synced to the 70th Anniversary BD (with offset of -21ms as it's encoded in DTS-HDMA) as that's the only version I have. It might sync to other versions, and if I get a hold of any other versions I'll update this post with the required offsets.
PM for link.

I have the latest 1.21 firmware for Pioneer BDP-LX54 blu-ray player. As i pointed out before: i am not very much satisfied with the picture and sound quality. Do you think it's a good idea to install some of the previous firmwares? Do you think the quality will improve ? By the way, give me your thoughts for what is the best stuff for video and audio.

Hello. Although I've been a member for a few months and have made a few posts, I have never made a proper introduction. I'm CloakedDragon97 and like many people, I joined OriginalTrilogy.com before joining this site. I initially joined for the reason most other people did. I wanted an HD version of the original unaltered Star Wars trilogy. I eventually branched out to other projects though. There I became familiar with Andrea's work and that inspired me to make a few projects of my own. Then a few months later I joined this site due to the amount of projects exclusive to here. I post significantly less on here but I'm still an active member. I'm glad to be a part of this site.
