I always wanted lossless Dolby Stereo 2.0 tracks of the Archival Versions (Theatrical, International, and Director's Cuts) of Blade Runner that are synced up to the Archival Versions Blu-ray.
The German 30th Anniversary Blu-ray (which has a superior x264 encode for the Archival Version) does contain a lossy DD 5.1 track but not a 2.0 track like the US version.
Which is why I want someone to do LaserDisc digital captures of the following LaserDiscs and sync them up to the Archival Versions Blu-rays.
I want versions of the audio synced to the Blu-ray in single versions, and to the raw Blu-ray streams but made compatible with seamless branching.
At least in the German 30th Anniversary Blu-ray, here's how the segments/Blu-ray streams are arranged in each version:
Director's: 1,22,23,25,26,32,27,34
International: 1,33,23,8,26,9,27,14
Theatrical: 1,31,23,25,26,32,27,24
And this may be different, but I hope someone has the HD-DVD of the Archival Versions, to get the DD+ tracks from that, which are probably slightly better than the DD tracks from the Blu-ray.
Here are the possible NTSC LDs for the Dolby Stereo LPCM tracks:
Japanese LaserDisc of the US Theatrical Cut [NJEL-20008] (original Dolby Stereo mix of the US Theatrical Cut, the only release of this cut with digital audio)
US Criterion LaserDiscs of International Theatrical Cut [CC1169L] (CLV) and [CC1120L] (CAV Special Edition) (original Dolby Stereo mix of the Domestic Theatrical Cut)
LaserDiscs of Director's Cut (US) [12682] and (Japan) [NJL-12682] (original Dolby Stereo mix of the Director's Cut)
Lastly, is the 5.1 track of the Archival Versions the original 70mm six-track mix or a remix/upmix of the 2.0?
