Movie: Necronomicon (1993)
Format: R2J Pioneer DVD (Japan)
Input soundtrack: AC3 2.0 16-bit 48khz
Output soundtrack FLAC 2.0 16-bit 48khz
Synced to: Wicked Vision Blu-ray

Japanese Pioneer DVD synced to German Wicked Vision Blu-ray. Probably syncs to the French BD too since they appear to be exactly the same length (caps-a-holic shows better detail/video compression on the FR though).

This had a Dolby Stereo mix on it's theatrical release. Every other DVD and BD has 5.1 only.

Although what's more disturbing, is on the Wicked Vision Blu-ray the dialogue and foleys are in the correct pitch but the music is not. Pitched down slightly to my ears. I noticed this while syncing the stereo track. I managed to get hold of the score and the Pioneer DVD is at the correct pitch.

The Pioneer DVD is probably a port of one of the JP LaserDiscs. If anyone has that or any of the other LDs, would be much better since they have PCM tracks.

Hello there,
as i try to get familiar with audio syncing, i´ve come across several questions regarding how to start (as i´m sure there are different approaches) and seek help. So that i´m not getting used to a workflow which is fundamentally wrong.
The software i want to use is mostly freeware (audacity, eac3to; mkvtoolnx for merging video and audio but should there be a better way - as i´m sure there can be - i´m open to that)

I want to use a LPCM 2.0 track from my "La Haine" bluray and use it for the the UHD release of the movie (although it has a 2.0 DTS HD-MA track which seems to be the same audio - despite studio intro - just by looking at the two tracks in audacity, nevermind).
The UHD release is at 24 fps and my audio track comes from the bluray which is 23.976 fps. Both are 48 kHz

Now to my questions about syncing audio in general to understand the working concept (also for other projects):
1. Loading the audio track i want to use (from a older source or Laserdisc), one track from the new source into audacity and cut/add silence to the beginning of the old track to match the new track is the right way or do i have to do something different?

2. After editing a track, using eac3to to match it to the video source (if different fps) is also right?

3. Something i´ve come across while try to match different tracks in audacity: Even if the tracks have millisecond/sample-wise the same length, i hear a "hall/echo" effect while playing them simultaniously. Which means there not perfectly in sync?


BTW: Does anyone know (and have it) if the laserdisc audio from La Haine is the same audio track that´s found on the new UHD, just mastered to 2.0 DTS HD-MA?

It is common ground that the simplest way to convert 44.1kHz laserdisc PCM track to 48kHz is to capture it via digital cable by a bit-perfect audio card, then convert it to 48kHz

• no quality loss converting 44.1kHz to 48kHz
  
• less quality loss converting from 25fps to 23.976fps - or 23.976fps to 24fps
  
• if the laserdisc NTSC PCM frequency is really 44056Hz then capture it digitally at 44.1kHz, bit-perfect or not, is futile - unless it's possible to capture at 44056hz bit perfect
