I know that the DVD editions are of the approximately 1hr 55min theatrical cut while the HD-DVD and Blu-ray editions are of the over-1hr-55min extended cut.
Cinema DTS audio exists for the theatrical cut. Could someone possibly find the Cinema DTS CD of the movie on eBay, buy and rip it, convert the audio to a DTS-HD Master Audio track with the rear surrounds' decibels properly adjusted, and sync it up to the theatrical cut so I can use it in my future 1080p fan reconstruction of the theatrical cut?]]> Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005).

I am trying to find the original 5.1 mix for The Fifth Element and so far I've narrowed down the following discs as possibly having it:

1. Laserdisc AC-3
2. Superbit DVD DTS
3. Original/First Remastered Blu-Ray LPCM

I'm tempted to sync the Laserdisc AC-3 and call it a day since that is undoubtedly the most possible candidate due to trends with other AC-3 discs and proximity to release but the possibility of a higher quality lossy or lossless source being available is an enticing one. If anyone of you guys have looked into this yourselves and/or have tips for spotting Theatrical digital surround mixes, let me know. Cheers!]]>

I was replacing the digital tweaked shots from the 4K (Indy Satipo and the spiders, digging the well of souls, and the lamps) with the previous unaltered version when I found an alternative 35mm print scan out there (4K, 40.6GB).
Here's a gallery: https://postimg.cc/gallery/5Hr6Qs6/d90df7c8













The UHD is accurate for the most part. Even the Nepal scene, which people told me it should not be that warm when I did my regrade, is warm here.
I also have the remixed laserdisc audio sync'ed and ready to mux.

Any interest in this? 

I'm asking because the regrade itself will be pretty much nonexistent  (maybe a few shots here and there, and a bit less warm in the Bagdad scenes).]]>

I have access to two Aliens LD caps, one being the THX and the other of the initial CBS FOX LD. Just like the CBS FOX release of the first film the audio on is off-balanced and improperly encoded, however they released a fixed version later the same year with digital audio and allegedly the balance problem is fixed (https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/53533/). Since there's like a billion Aliens project that have been attempted here I'm curious to see if anyone has attempted to cap this disc and synced it. If anyone has a copy it I will sync it if isn't already.]]>

If I want to sync and preserve one of these mixes, I'll eventually need to export it as a standard 5.1/6-channel file.

My current approach is to duplicate the mono surround channel and route the copies to channels 5 and 6, so that the exact same signal is sent to both SL and SR.

My question is: should each surround channel be attenuated by 3 dB in that case?

I can't remember whether the original mono surround channel in a 4.1 theatrical mix was already compensated for this, or whether modern AVRs apply their own level compensation when they distribute a single surround channel across left and right surrounds.

How do you usually handle this when converting a theatrical 4.1 mix to standard 5.1?]]>

I haven't seen the Cartoon Network TV miniseries Over the Garden Wall yet, but I'd like to watch it on Amazon and get the Blu-ray. I'd like it if someone could rip the original 5.1 audio tracks from the Amazon 1080p web-DLs of the miniseries and sync them to the Blu-ray.

Thanks,
James

Edit: Changed HBO Max to Amazon as the 5.1 tracks are on Amazon.]]>

Initially I wanted to try 35mmforum, but for some reason admins won't accept me to join.
Also looking for the DTS Iso of The Devil Wears Prada.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!]]>
