LaserDiscs needed for replacing BD audio
Is it possible the stereo tracks are out of phase? I know this was reported to have happened with Stargate, which brought into question the 'quality' of the THX certification

It’s something that happens on some older transfers where either they didn’t do something right in the processing or it’s baked into the source they used. This still happens today with matrixed audio tracks. Basically it means the center dialog will either bleed slightly into the other channels or go wildly into the surround like this one does.
Stargate was a specific case of someone flipping the channels the wrong way around on the pcm. My copy is ok but I’ve been curious to find a defective one just to hear it.

It could be something out of phase in the transfer process I guess.

Inverting one of the channels would give you the Stargate flaw, I doubt you would want to watch the whole film like that though

Does anyone have The Aristocats?

Is it known whether any of the LDs contain the original mono mix? LDDB says all releases are stereo. It’s uncertain whether the mono has ever appeared on home video.

Mostly NR

By chance, does anyone have this disc?
imdb lists the original mix as Dolby Stereo, but the VS UHD has a mono track. Curious if the LD has the stereo mix. Although I would bet imdb & lddb is wrong over VS not including the original audio if there was a source for it available. But nonetheless I'd be interested in verifying it.
For educational reasons, of course  Wink
