TROY has two different cuts: theatrical cut and director's cut. The general consensus seems to revolve around the director's cut being a better film in every way, except for the score. Most of the score in the director's cut has been replaced with inferior music, often undermining the film and distracting viewers. I thought it might be a cool idea for someone to take the director's cut and replace the score with the original theatrical cut's music. Would anyone have any interest in doing a project like this?

I usually rip BD audio for comparing tracks or listening to commentaries on the go but can’t figure out a solid way to do the same for UHDs. There’s one I’d really like to compare the audio against older releases in a sound editor but I have no way of capturing the audio because it’s lossless multichannel. Is there a good solution just for capturing hdmi audio directly?

Very happy to report that through a generous party, I was finally able to obtain the Cinema DTS track for Apollo 13!

This is a VERY well-done mix.

I'm not sure how it compares to any of the DVD or the LD tracks. The BD track has louder surrounds, and the mix seems more pushed back in that region, (If anybody wants to sync the BD track to the UHD, it's a 53ms delay).

AUD files were converted with foobar2000 apt-x100 plugin, with LFE extraction (no LFE gain in foobar).

Reels slowed to 23.976 using EAC3to and resampled to 48khz with r8brain for disc compatibility.

Surrounds lowered 3db in Audacity during sync process.

The final sync is provided as 5.1 23.976 16bit 48khz (with or without 3db LFE boost).

PM for link!

Note: As my x800m2 that I use for playback doesn't play 24hz files correctly (discs play fine, but files incorrectly play at 23.976 with frame skips), I opted to retime the audio as opposed to remuxing the video (and subsequently needing to speed-up any other audio tracks I'm keeping to 24hz).

Also, boosting the LFE 3db results in clipping. I understand this is common for many mixes. Testing on my system, the version with no LFE boost sounded best/most balanced. So I've provided the final sync as either a 5.1 flac file with no LFE boost, or a 5.1 flac file with 3db LFE boost (with clipping).

Can also provide the raw AUD files for anybody who wants to tackle their own bit-perfect sync!

Batman Series (1989-1997) LD PCM to UHD
Or: Warner! Please include original audio as an option if you insist on revisionism (and love the bomb)

Here are my syncs of Batman (1989), Batman Returns (1992) and Batman & Robin (1997) for any regulars that would like them. I'm looking for the LD PCM of Batman Forever  if anyone has them please. If raw I am happy to sync them and add to this thread to have everything in one place (with their permission of course).

Hey everyone -

Just discovered this forum a few days ago and have been lurking around. Really love the work being done here, hope I can help in some way.


Cheers everyone!

Hi, I recently discovered this forum and I love the work you're doing here (fixing botched audio of modern releases) although I wish it wasn't necessary and publishers started doing their job.

Cheers!

I'm looking for the best audio for this movie
I have the french Blu-Ray (bonus from Gulliver's Travels 1960 BDs).
The FR BD use the same video/audio as the Thunderbean Blu-Ray, but the track has been filtered, but it is still nice because there is less crackling.
German Blu-Ray PCM is bad.

Maybe some DVD have even better audio.

These LD have digital audio:

From imdb:

Quote:The DVD version of the movie has a few noticeable differences compared to the Blu-Ray version.

• The movie is degraded; color grading is very dull compared to the Blu-Ray version
  
• Some sequences uses different sound effects (The head stomping scene for instance)
  
• Original soundtrack is not featured
  

This is a YouTube rip from FT Depot and it was only in 2.0 audio. I've added the 5.1 audio from trailer found on the US DVD to it.
Big thanks goes to them for the scan.

Video slowed down to 23,976 with MKVtoolNix and the audio is in perfect sync.

Original post by FT Depot and send them a

For some reason the streaming versions of the movie, no Blu-ray release yet, have only a 2.0 audio mix. The movie was mixed in Dolby 5.1 and SDDS. Therefore I've synced the Dolby 5.1 tracks from the US DVD to the Amazon WEB-DL.

Enjoy
