The Little Mermaid - help needed with LD PCM...

[Falcon]

Hello, I'm looking for the 1999 DVD. Could someone send me a digital copy please? If this is not possible, I would be content with the French track

unfortunately, they replaced the french and spanish with the russian.
If someone can send me the French track of the 1999 DVD, it will be great

How's this project going?

I synced that 568 kbps FLAC of the LaserDisc. Re-encoded it in WAV (48 kHz) because I didn't see how to render it at the same quality without changes. So it's 2.7 times as big. Also have the 12 KB Reaper work file still saved in case anyone wants to visually check how close the sync is or make additional adjustments. If somebody could send me the older DVD 5.1 or the cinema DTS, I'd like to work on those too. Unless originaltrilogy.com is already working on the cinema DTS. They'd probably do a better job.

I don't think I've seen anything confirming there even is a cinema DTS track for TLM. It definitely didn't have one in it's original run, it's possible that the 1997 re-release did but like I said I haven't seen anyone confirm.

Does anyone know if any of the DD 5.1 mixes are based off the 70mm six track?

I believe the Limited Edition's DVD release's 5.1 mix was.

According to my notes:

The 2001 Limited Issue DVD... uses an identical master to the 1998 laserdisc. It is OAR 1.66:1 letterboxed widescreen, contains the 1997 theatrical re-release Dolby 5.1 track (The 1997 re-release utilized a new Digital mix based on the original analog sources) and lacks the digital revisions made to the Platinum Edition. On the down side it is non-anamorphic, and has what is either bad mosquito noise or an early digital noise reduction that leaves crawling grain around edges.

There was also supposedly a 2001 Limited-er DTS edition, but this may be more rumor than fact.

The Diamond Edition has a different 5.1 track than the Limited Edition? I see the Platinum Edition is labeled as Disney Enhanced Home Theatre mix on the rear cover but the Diamond Edition does not mention anything about Enhanced Home Theatre mix.

The LE DVD was what I used for my restored DVD release. It is much less crappy than the DEHT mix.

I noticed on the 2002 UK DVD that the end credits were different, it started with a version of "kiss the girl" instead of "under the sea".
This version of "kiss the girl" is also on the 1998 5.1 dubs/mix of Portuguese and French.

If anyone has the Japanese laserdisc, I'd be interested.
Who owns the first Japanese dub (analog track) + original audio (digital track)
