The 4K release of one of my favorite horror films has completely botched audio. They denoised all of the iconic background humming and hissing that was present in the original stereo and tampered with the pitch on the surround upmix. The visual presentation is much improved over the Blu-ray however and is definitely my preferred way to watch the film. The unaltered theatrical stereo mix from the Blu-ray didn't sync up evenly to the 4K and would desync over time so I had to apply a very slight stretch to make it work. PM if interested.

I have joined this forum with interest primarily in the preservation of LaserDisc audio tracks.

Hey everyone!

After a long time planning and testing, I developed a tool to preserve classic dubs: EternalDub.

Many old dubbed films only survived on bad sources (TV recordings, VHS, old DVDs), and because of that, a lot of them even look older than they really are. The program takes that dub and puts it on any higher-quality source you have, making a remux, without re-encoding the video or the original audio. In other words, you don't lose any quality.

My reason for making this, besides wanting to help with media preservation, is my little brother. He has dyslexia, which makes it hard for him to follow subtitled films, so dubs are a priority.

To be honest: I (still) don't know how to code. I did the programming with help from Claude (an AI). But yes, I developed everything with a lot of attention and care, because I wanted to make something really good.

Features:
- Automatically syncs dubs with the film's audio.
- Fixes sources with cuts or desync, section by section.
- Shows the waveforms so you can check and manually adjust the selected dub.
- Doesn't re-encode the video or the original audio when saving.
- Builds the final MKV already organized (dub, original audio, subtitles), according to the user's preference.
- And more.

You can find it on GitHub: https://github.com/Moguel0818/EternalDub

I've "remuxed" three films with it so far. For example, I managed to put the Brazilian dub of "Mad Monster Party" (1967) on the foreign BD remux, and it lined up perfectly with the high-quality video.

I believe this can help a lot of people who preserve media. I say that because I'm one of them. It's free and open source. Anyone who wants to test it, give feedback or report bugs, I'd be really grateful!

Hello everyone! I am a movie enthusiast, living in France and who appreciates the charm of authentic VO and VF sound tracks for older films. I discover this forum and join this community with pleasure.

Even though this special was originally mixed in 5.1 surround, the Blu-ray release only has the Lt/Rt heavily clipped mix, and thankfully because of my love of torrent hunting for rare versions of films, I was able to find the HDTV rip of the original airing of the short without ad breaks. Did check the part after "Light the Night" which is where the ad breaks happen on re-runs and that seems to sync fine.

I think I might be able to do the same thing with Over the Garden Wall's Blu-ray release if I have time, given that the R1 DVD has the same issue as Snowdog.

Hi ! Is anyone have the raw capture wave file or .dts file for this laserdisc ? I'm not talking about the internet archive capture (that is no available anymore since yesterday).

I like to keep raw capture with all features at the begining to end like dts logos an trailers.

I know i couldn't buy it even on LDDB actually.

Thanks for helping

Hello there, just discovered this forum, was very surprised I hadn't stumbled across it before!

Hi everyone! I'm a big IMAX fan, mostly here to hopefully find versions of movies with IMAX aspect ratios that aren't commercially released.

Hello everyone.
