Reports are coming in that the track labelled as "original mono audio" on the new Psycho UHD is just a folddown of the surround remix with new added sound effects and other issues.

Fortunately the mono audio on the German Turbine BD is the original and syncs perfectly to the UHD uncut version of the movie with a delay of +667ms.

Hey gang,

I've got a really simple project I wanna do but haven't done any video editing for years.

I want to take the main feature off a blu ray, trim the ending and then graft on the original extended ending that is available as an extra.

A/V stats are the same (1080p, ~24fps, LPCM).

Ultimately, I'd like to output the final product as an mkv with no re-encoding (although minimal re-encoding at the splice point would be tolerable).

Any suggestions for all-in-one free or trial software with a minimal learning curve to do this? I already have both clips demuxed and ready to go.

Cheers!

Blu-ray.com:

Scream supplies the film's original Dolby Stereo as the default (and only) track on both discs: a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Stereo (1614 kbps, 24-bit) on Disc One and a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Stereo (1646 kbps, 24-bit) on Disc Two.

The Shout Factory (Scream) release contains two different cuts: theatrical and desaturated (both, 2.0 stereo mix) but Laserdisc 4.0?

How can that difference be possible? What is the real original Dolby stereo track? I was wondering if it would be nice to have a preservation with the LD track.

The movie was originally released with a mono mix, but blu-rays only features stereo tracks (and Criterion has missing shots).

Anyone have the Eraserhead laserdisc and can capture the audio to obtain the PCM mono track?

I'd like to sync the original LD audio to the Capelight blu-ray. If you can capture the video as well, this would help syncing a lot.

 Hello! I've recently registered because I'm interested in audio preservations. 

The Leopard (1963) R2 DVD audio synced to Japanese Bluray (Remastered JPN Blu-ray)
More noise. More details. Very better.

Hi All,

I don't suppose anyone has the blu ray of Lock Stock from either Hong Kong, Japan, Scandinavia or Thailand? Every other release uses VC1 but those releases use AVC. 

I'm planning a reconstruction of the director's cut using the blu ray and the extra scenes from the DVD, plus the color grading from the DVD. 

Also what are people's thoughts on the level of grain in the blu ray - see below? Would you leave it as is or try and remove a little? I read it was shot on 16mm and blown up to 35mm so I guess it will never look great. 

Thanks

I don't suppose anyone has this new and very limited blu ray do they?

It is supposed to contain a HD scan of the Japanese theatrical version with the explained opening.

Hey everyone, I have the Russian Blu-Ray remux of Thor: Ragnarok which happens to include the IMAX scenes within it. However, the aspect ratio of the IMAX and scope scenes do crop out at the sides at times. Since I am horrible at this stuff, I can send the Blu-Ray file to whoever wants to have a crack at it. Just send me a PM. 

Thanks

I was wondering if there was ever a workprint of the original Hobbit Two Film Structure that anyone knows of. I know about the "Two Film" Fanedit, but it cuts out scenes that were in the book which I don't think Jackson would've done in the Two Film version he made, given how faithful the LotR trilogy was. I was just wondering if someone had a general idea of how Jackson's Two Film Structure was actually composed. Thoughts?

Thanks.
