[Released] Ghostbusters & Ghostbusters II - 1999 DVD 5.1 Tracks synced to 4K Master(s)

Damn so I went out of my way to get the 99 DVDs for nothing lol, I have the 05 discs on me.

Ok so, no idea how Sam checked this but some of the info posted here is wrong.

For starters, the 1999 and Superbit mixes are NOT the same. Starting with Ghostbusters 1, every channel is different with worse cutoffs
1999:


Superbit:


I got a copy of the 2005 mix for this one and it is indeed the same mix as the 1999 DVD



For Ghostbusters II, the mixes are pretty similar but the Superbit DTS is still slightly different and the surrounds are actually more muffled on the DTS. The frequencies are also slightly better on the DTS except the LFE.

I appreciate Sam for getting these and looking into this, I won't be updating any of my syncs though as these tracks do seem to be different from the 99 DVDs.

Believe me, that’s what DTS does when encoding, which is why the cutoffs are like this. Every DVD DTS mix I know does the same thing, Teacher’s Pet, the 10th Anniversary DVD of Toy Story, the Superbit DVD of Spider-Man 2, Titan A.E, the UK and German censored DVDs of Lilo & Stitch, etc. I actually made a preset on Audacity that allows me to increase the volume of the cutoffs to match the rest. This is what I did with my US DVD of Titan A.E synced to the AMZN WEB-DL.

I know that DTS DVDs have bad cutoffs, also ironic you bring up Titan A.E as I just capped and synced my VHS of that lol

Glad you have. Sucks that the Japanese LaserDisc of that film costs a grand.

FYI, the 1999 AC3 for GB1 syncs up to the DV UHD with a +1300ms delay. No need for editing

What about the JP Superbit DTS mix? It literally uses the same mix as the AC3 on the 1999 DVD.

[izzybell]

It doesn't as I've already shown. Also are you sure about the delay? I know for certain I had to make a few edits to get a perfect sync.

[commandrbond]

It may not be 100% synced but when muxed together with that delay, I'm not able to detect any issues. 50ms is my threshold for detectable lipsync problems.
