I’m almost certain the audio is from cinema DTS. Sounds like it and the sync fluctuates the same way as when the C-DTS is not synched properly.
Anyways, a great sounding track well worth getting if you are unhappy with uhdConfused ”original dts”.]]> What caught my eye was PCM 5.1 in the description.

And this kind of answers my own question about Arrow and their notes about original audio (theatrical far field vs near field)

Original lossless DTS-HD MA 5.1 - what does it actually mean. Same as Cinema DTS?
For example The Mask has this but the original mix sounds a bit muddy to my ears -> not the case with my other Cinema DTS movies.]]> Might be a stupid question but I'll ask it anyways Smile

I prefer the sweet spot of minimal eye/head movement with maximum immersive size.

My plan is to create a series of 4:3 BD + DVD hybrids for watching in VR. 4:3 is very close to the IMAX aspect ratio of 1.43:1, so hence, in theory, you're creating an IMAX version of the film. 

Here's what I use.

Program: Whirligig (Most Customizable/Adjustable program I've found)
Mode : Cinema

Window Experience Settings
Size = 3.7
Distance = 3.8
Tilt = -2 (Will need to adjust so centered for you)
Horizontal Curvature = 70
Vertical Curvature = 30

In Movie Experience Settings
Size = 4.7
Distance = 3.8
Tilt = -2 (Will need to adjust so centered for you)
Horizontal Curvature = 70
Vertical Curvature = 30

Whirligig offers several different media formats for playback. Select the one that works for you.

If you don’t know what it is, it’s an automated script that bypasses Audyssey and calibrates your AVR using REW. The latest version lets you take measurements in the script using the Audyssey mic and also replaces the default filters on the AVR.

What a fantastic afternoon out! even my 14 year old son enjoyed it

saw a £1000,000 scan station in action (scanned up to 12k but the gauges only went up to 35mm. really intelligent piece of kit that scans the entire reel and then produced a report automatically with the type of print used, type of audio. any defects like tears and splices, colour used in the print etc etc.
In the inspection department there was some 35mm reel cans lined up that had Hammer Horror written on them  Happy

also took a picture of the different types of audio used on prints and also how to identify where the print came from and how old it is

also had a look in the vault and lots of 35mm prints and mag audio in storage (mag audio doesn't like the sub zero temps where the master prints are kept)

Quote:# Version 81.0 "Milliontown" 2023-12-02

## New features and enhancements

* mkvmerge: MPEG transport stream reader: HEVC/H.265: added support for
reading single-layer Dolby Vision from Annex B type bitstream read from MPEG
transport streams. Partially implements #3113.
* mkvmerge: MPEG transport stream reader, HEVC/H.265 elementary stream reader:
added support for reading dual-layer Dolby Vision with both the base &
enhancement layers in the same track from Annex B type bitstreams in MPEG
transport files & elementary stream files. Implements #3126.
* mkvmerge: MPEG transport stream reader: HEVC/H.265: implemented combining
dual-layer Dolby Vision with base & enhancement layers in different
tracks. Implements #3127.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added a new option in the preferences for
always enabling 'forced' subtitle tracks. A subtitle track is considered to
be 'forced' if: the corresponding property is set in the source file; the
track's name contains the word 'forced' (in English); deriving the 'forced
display' flag from file names is active & the file name matches the
corresponding pattern. The option is disabled by default. Implements #3627.
* MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the functionality for detecting file name
sequences when adding files can now recognize the patterns used by GoPro's
cameras for chaptered video files. Implements #3633.
* xyzvc_dump: the end position of the current NALU will be output in
non-portable format as well.
* xyzvc_dump: HEVC: the tool will now also output the inner NALU type of Dolby
Vision NALUs (`unspec62` and `unspec63`).
