[Proposal] The Terminator [1984] Ultimate Purist Collection

Thank you monisriz. They don't sync without an initial delay of 22 frames according to reports, which is between the original Blu-ray and the new UHD.

+22 frames indeed, from Blu-ray with MGM logo opening to UHD: that's +918ms. I already made my own remux.

Has any of our audio specialists examined the DTS HDMA 2.0 mono on the UHD, supposedly original mix, to see if it's better than the Laserdisc PCM? It does have the original Arnie's gun sound effect. I don't know yet if it's the domestic or international mono and wonder if it was heavily filtered and if some frequencies were destroyed in the process.

[Beber]

Apparently, the mono on the UHD is a mixbag of the domestic and the international. I thought it was the domestic based on the scene of the T-800 burning coming off the truck at the end, and then based on the bike sound that transitions between the sex scene and the T-800 on his bike, it's the international mix when you hear the bike only when you see it and not used as a bridge between the two shots during the fade to black.

Reading the first post in this thread makes me want to search for a copy of the Image DVD to buy. Especially since I only have the 2001 MGM SE, the hologram style cover release and not the more generic font one, and the USA BD. I do want to buy the current UHD release, at least it has the original mono mix as lossless 2.0, but not when it's at $25 and it's not much of a huge priority for me right now to get it. Also interested in this project, especially the LD PCM mono, etc., it's quite awesome!

Thank you. I think the next step to truly finish this project would be for me to sync the Image DVD 2.1 track.
I couldn't originally due to a frame rate issue as I sync by visuals.
However this was fixed with the help of Williarob.
So now I have a good source to sync to.
Also I could make one bird two stones and sync at the same time the Image DVD reissue which is 1.0 only.
