who has a link for the goonies laserdisc slightly extended version? i am working on a edit

This may seem like a noob question but what's the easiest way to rip DVDs and Blu-Rays to digital?

Hi,

I am very happy to finally do my first post here. I love what you all are doing here!! I hope I can contribute in some way in the future! Thanks for having me!

Hello all, I am looking to rip a couple of audio tracks from a couple DVDs I own... One has an Isolated Score Track... And the other I want to try and extract discrete channels of 5.1 (AC3 and DTS tracks) for a small snippet of the film for another personal project I'm working on.

On my old PC, I used DVD Audio Extractor which I had great success with once upon a time... I am on a Mac Mini Currently (with and external USB DVD drive), but haven't had much luck with the same program.

I do realize that there is a paid version of that program for Mac, but I'm wondering... What is another good program for ripping DVD audio for Mac?

Bonus points if it can rip Lossless DVD-A tracks as well.

This was the first project I did and the menu structure has evolved slightly since then, plus for V1 I didn't use the original Criterion chapter stops and finally when I did the colour correction I applied just one LUT to the entire project, this time I have redone the correction using 47 LUTs. 

• BD25 with animated menus that look and behave like the official Criterion discs, with a background video, pop up menus and resume function
  
• Video taken from the HDTV broadcast, with scene by scene colour correction
  
• Original chapter stops used on the Laserdisc
  
• English 5.1 EAC3 from the HDTV Broadcast
  
• Commentary track with the Directors The Hughes Brothers, Larenz Tate, Keith David, Lisa Rinzler, Dr Todd Boyd and Ari Merretazon
  
• English, French, German and Spanish Subtitles
  
• Deleted Scenes and Storyboard sequences
  
• Vintage Featurette
  
• Trailer and TV Spots
  
• The Real Anthony, Ari Merretazon, Today
  
• Dr Boyd's Guide to Blaxploitation
  
• Al Green in Pimpstrumental Color
  
• Issac Hayes Walk On By Music Video
  
• Laserdisc Credits
  

Only one print of this film is known to exist - and it might be possible to scan it!


From the Lost Media Wiki:

Santo Gold's Blood Circus, produced in 1985 by Santo Victor Rigatuso (aka Robert "Bob" Harris), is a sci-fi movie about man-eating aliens from "Zoran" invading Earth and their clash with professional US and USSR wrestlers. Rigatuso, playing the character of Santo Gold in a scene recorded at the Baltimore Civic Center, performs a song before the film's climactic brawl. The lyrics, however, have nothing to do with the film, and are about Rigatuso's Santo Gold business.

The film starred a few professional wrestlers from WWF (now WWE), and was made on a budget of 2 million dollars. It was promoted through infomercials for Rigatuso's Santo Gold mail-order jewelry business.

Well after gathering a bit of data, it seems there's the most amount of support for a preservation scan of The Keep as of right now, and I can most certainly understand why given its rough history when it comes to proper home media releases–or the lack thereof.

Thoughts based on comparisons found on Caps-a-holic: https://caps-a-holic.com/index.php?s=star+wars

I do not take in account contrast (due to wrong HDR-to-SDR conversion, I hope) or colors here, but only frame size and resolution.

EP I, II, III: UHD-BDs have the exact same resolution of BDs, but have a tiny less image on both top and bottom, and both sides are slightly cut and stretched.

EP IV: UHD-BD has higher resolution than BD, and more image on both left and right, but less on top and bottom.

EP V: UHD-BD has higher resolution than BD, but less image on all sides.

EP VI: UHD-BD has higher resolution than BD, and more image on left, but less on right, top and bottom.

I'm trying to assemble a preservation of NEAR DARK from the best available elements, but have found that the best is not really good enough as far as what I've got already, despite me owning 4 copies of this film: 3 Blu-ray Disc releases and 1 double-disc PAL DVD from Anchor Bay.

The trouble is, the audio on all of these is screwed up in different ways...

1. The DVD actually hasn't been pitch shifted by PAL speedup, Anchor Bay seems to have done a decent job of that, but the trouble is I'd need to stretch it back to 23.967 fps. I tried doing so in Audacity (Change Tempo -4.096%) and it sounded like absolute crap, with that metallic clangy quality that often comes with slowing down audio or modifying it in similar ways. Being a DVD source, it's only available in AC3.
   
   
2. The UK Blu-ray Disc (presumably identical to the US one, though I'm not certain), the Spanish BD, and the French BD, all do have "PAL" pitch-shifted audio for some stupid reason, despite having 23.976 fps playback and no speedup. I can only assume that this is the result of some incredibly idiotic NTSC -> PAL -> NTSC conversion over time, but that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I found the exact same issue with a much more recent release of a much newer film (German copy of Snowpiercer) so it's not just bad archival that seems to be causing distributors to do this. In any case, to fix this, I'd need to pitch-shift the audio back down again by some undetermined value (somewhere roughly close to a semitone, but not precisely) but that would introduce yet another conversion to the chain that would degrade the audio even further than it is already, making the LPCM/DTS-HD encodes available here less useful than they otherwise might have been.
   

1. The LaserDisc audio, which appears to have been digital so should be possible to obtain a direct LPCM rip of without quality loss (presumably not readily available)
   
   
2. The NTSC DVD audio, ideally from the equivalent Anchor Bay release (which includes a director commentary track), so that I can substitite out my PAL audio
   
   
3. Any other BD audio, specifically from the US BD, to see if it has the same pitch-shift problem as my PAL-region copies. It has occurred to me that this might have been an intentional effect for the European market, anticipating that we would expect to hear the higher pitched audio because of PAL speedup previously affecting VHS and DVD releases here, but they screwed that one up considering the Anchor Bay PAL DVDs didn't have that pitch shift in the first place!
