Jason And The Argonauts Criterion Laserdisc |

Hi All,
For my next Criterion preservation project I am going to be doing Jason and the Argonauts.
I already have the commentary track from the laserdisc and some of the extra features but not all of them. What I really need is someone with the laserdisc who can capture the missing special features:
32. Pre Production Drawings
33. Lobby cards and the original one sheet
35. Casting notes
36. Production photos
37. Production memos
38. Production records
39. Creating the hydra sequence
40. Creating the skeleton sequence
41 Harryhausen models and art work from the Forrest J Ackerman collection
48. Videodisc production credits
I think all of these are still images, if someone could capture them I would only need a few seconds of each as I'll extract the images and build slideshows. Hopefully someone out there can help. I'm working with someone who makes covers and they have reproduced the voyage map from inside the laserdisc cover as a blu ray insert, looks gorgeous.
Thanks

Anyone have the Halloween Criterion Laserdisc? |

Has anyone with the ability to capture a laserdisc got the Criterion release of Halloween?
I'm looking to do a preservation of it, the audio has already been done in SpoRv's version but I'd love to get these extras:
Additional footage shot for the 1980 television release
Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert give splatter movies the thumbs down while praising Halloween in a controversial 1980 Sneak Previews segment
Photo essay on the making of Halloween
Photo Essay on splatter films
Illustrated filmographies of John Carpenter, Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis
The cover also contains the famous review by Tom Allen (Village Voice)
Thanks

Adding Delay to EAC3 Track |

Hi All,
Having a bit of a nightmare.
I've got an EAC3 track from a HDTV recording and it needs a few seconds adding to the start of it to make it in sync with the video. I've successfully managed to do this with eac3to.exe using "eac3to.exe input.eac3 output.eac3 +xxxms". The problem I've just discovered is on playback those extra seconds have a very loud buzzing sound on all channels.
I can convert to the EAC3 to wavs, either add the silence to the original version or silence out the buzz in audacity fine, but I can't find any way of converting it back to EAC3, eac3to.exe says the conversion of wav to eac3 cannot be done.
I could convert the wavs to DTSHD but I am very tight on disc space for this project and DTS HD is massive compared to eac3.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

The Exorcist: The Version We've Almost Seen |

I'm not sure if this would go beyond the scope of this forum, since it verges on fan edit territory, but hear me out.
As Mark Kermode keeps telling everybody who'll listen, The Exorcist is one of the finest films ever made. However, the version of it that I would ideally like to watch as my default go-to edit does not currently exist.
The theatrical cut is a masterpiece, which is superior for the most part (in my opinion) to the "Version You've Never Seen" extended cut and subsequent re-edit for Blu-ray. It does however omit at least one or two small moments which I feel the absence of, having seen the extended cut many times over the years. Some of the additions make me cringe big time (call it heresy if you like, but I hate that damn spider walk and the extra Captain Howdy faces are so intrusive it's comical); others are smaller character moments which I feel enrich the film. For example, there's a very brief scene wherein Father Merrin asks Regan's middle name and I love it. I also like the scene with Merrin and Karras sitting in the stairwell discussing the "point" of the demon's antics, although I think I agree with Friedkin's assessment that it is rather obviously stating what the film spends much of its runtime showing us more implicitly ("show, don't tell" after all).
I'm considering attempting to assemble a very simple edit which adds very few of the "missing" scenes back into the theatrical cut in their respective places, leaving it otherwise untouched. This would be almost entirely for my own use, but if I'm going to do it, I figure I may as well share it with others who might fancy it as well. Alternatively, someone who is more au fait with the software and the process of creating such an edit might want to crack this out in an afternoon rather than waiting ages for me to get round to trying it myself.
Thoughts?

Hi all,
I have lurked here for a while, finally signed up. Restored classic films are a fun hobby of mine. I hope to be a part of this community for a long time.
Now, a quick question as I have not seen it answered in any posted threads, can I send PMs immediately, or do I need a certain post count in order to do that first? Apologize for the remedial question.
Look forward to being here! Thank you.
