  Using 44.1kHz LPCM track on Blu-ray?
Posted by: Onti - 2021-07-19, 01:12 PM - Forum: General technical discussions - Replies (18)

Hi! I’m not sure but I think 48 kHz is required for Blu-ray. However, I tend to see that you share audio files taken from Laserdisc as 16-bit, 44.1 kHz (FLAC). I imagine I must convert the 44.1KHz (FLAC) to 48 KHz LPCM with eac3to. If I create Blu-ray, burn it and pop it into a Blu-ray player. What would happen to that new 48 kHz LPCM track? Any errors? The audio will play too fast?

If one audio is at 44.1 kHz on a Laserdisc and could be recorded at 48 KHz, why don’t you do that? There must be some important reason. Would some errors take place?

  Predator 2 (1990) Dolby 2.0 Surround mix from the Blu-Ray

Hello, I was Wondering if anyone here has the Dolby Surround 2.0 Mix from the 2009 Predator 2 Blu-Ray release? I'm curious to see how it compares to the LD version.

  Laserdisc or DVD Audio of "Out of Africa" 1985?
Posted by: freedomland - 2021-07-18, 12:44 PM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (3)

Hey,

I watched Out of Africa yesterday and the sound didn't perform well in the dialogues and somehow it's oddly off here and there. It was the remastered universal Blu-ray release with 5.1 dts-hd. Through some research I have seen that the DVD has a Dolby Digital 4.1 Surround Track, correct me if I am wrong, this should be also more in the near of the original sound, but thats a guess anyway.

So now I am looking for someone who can provide me rips of the Audio from the Laserdisc:

https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/02005/403...-of-Africa

As this should be the most accurate release since it came out in 1986. If someone also has the DVD-Audio, I would be pleased if I am allowed to compare them. Maybe there is someone already have this or I can also arrange in obtaining the issued Laserdisc or so. Thanks!  Smile

  Need help choosing audio mixing software.
Posted by: Doctor M - 2021-07-18, 12:24 AM - Forum: Audio and video editing - Replies (5)

I'm working on a tiny project of a live event. The source audio has environmental sounds and some good attributes, but the low frequencies are absolute garbage.
I was looking to mix it together with the official soundtrack to produce a richer mix, but I'm not sure what is ideal.

In the past I've used MPEG Video Wizard (which obviously isn't ideal), and Sony Sound Forge (which isn't the best for ease of mixing).

Any suggestions?

  The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) Laserdisc Audio
Posted by: stwd4nder2 - 2021-07-17, 07:09 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (3)

After being very disappointed with the audio on the 4K blu-ray, I have taken it upon myself to sync the audio from the LD to 4k video.
The LD audio is much fuller, and doesn't have the added foley that's in the new mix. AFAIK the LD is a direct port of the theatrical stereo mix.

This project will sync to the US 4k blu-ray. Possibly other BD releases but I've only tested the 4k. This is my first time doing a project like this so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Special thanks to HippieDalek for providing me with the audio.

PM me for a dl link.

  Is there any tool to edit and resynchronize Blu-ray PGS SUP subtitles?
Posted by: Onti - 2021-07-17, 05:47 PM - Forum: Converting, encoding, authoring - Replies (2)

I mean without OCR, I just want to modify some lines (changing the text) and resynchronize some parts, then I want to save again as PGS SUP. Any software for this?

  immersive video
Posted by: spoRv - 2021-07-13, 08:48 AM - Forum: Movies, TV shows and other - Replies (2)

There is immersive audio: Auro 3D, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X.

But what technology could be defined "immersive video" (related to movies)?

I thing (guess?) the best option nowaday is ScreenX (as well as Barco Escape, but it's dead, sadly); a three-screen presentation - central, left and right walls (there is also an option of a cealing screen).

Unfortunately I had not the chance to see a movie in ScreenX, but watching their trailer, it seems an interesting way to put the viewer in the center (literally) of action!

Technically, it could be improved - the seams are still too visible, sometimes badly seamed, the side screens often does not have matching color/brightness of the main one, or they just use a mirror or distorted copy of the main screen.

But, apart these problems, the idea works IMHO.

What do you think?
