I'm brand new to this site, so I thought I'd get to know it better.

Hello all. Been getting into fan restorations and edits recently, and a buddy suggested this forum. Looking forward to browsing and interacting with you all.

Looking forward to checking out this place.

I love restorations that restore films to their original versions.

I have a 1999 DVD R2, who seems to be in 2.55 format (letterbox...) unlike the HD 2.35 version.
There are many more picture on DVD.

It's a shame that the HD version cuts so much, I don't know if there are HDrips of the old master.

Hello, this is my introduction as per site rules.

Nothing unique to say really, just a lover of fanedits/restorations like everyone here

Hello! Just introducing myself, I'm artsox. I love fanedits and restorations and learned about this site from Reddit's /r/fanedits. Happy to be a part of another like-minded community!  

The Kill Bill films were released in several different audio formats for Region 1/A home video releases. We have:

DVD 5.1 Dolby Digital
DVD 5.1 DTS
BD 5.1 640kbps Dolby Digital
BD 5.1 16bit 48khz PCM (incorrectly labeled as 24bit on packaging).
and finally reissues have replaced the PCM tracks with 5.1 DTS-HD (unsure of bit depth).

I had seen reference online to the PCM tracks clipping and decided to investigate myself. Sure enough they are quite heavily clipped in sections.

Seeing as the packaging states 24 as opposed the 16bit track which is actually on the discs, I’m wondering if somebody poorly dithered the sources down to 16 during mastering, causing the extra clipping.

I compared to the DVD 5.1 DTS, which also clips, but much less so. Both mixes appear the same.

I thought my Tarantino XX box set contained the DTS-HD reissues, but alas they are PCM like my first pressings.

I have also seen reference that the DTS-HD tracks have no clipping, but are entirely different mixes. Before I plunge down more cash on these films, can anybody confirm if they are indeed different?

I would still love to get the theatrical DTS discs for these films, but am trying to determine the best audio in the meantime.

Thanks everyone!
