Could anybody give me the track titles and times? I would really appreciate it.

And did anyone bother recording that piano source music that takes place between the Giza port and the Maji attack on the boat? Personaly, I think it's rather annoying. Did Goldsmith compose that piece as well?

You DO know, of course, that there's no way to pause the score once it starts. MY ADVICE: Use the album versions when you have them. The mix is slightly lower, but it's not really noticeable. That way, you'll have time to switch recording windows in between large chunks of score that can be edited and broken up later.

Certain cues will need special editing attention. "Night Boarders," for example, fades in and out rather suddenly, mixing with other cues. So do most of the source cues and the tracks around them.

Note that the "alternate cues" at the end of the second disc are ALBUM versions. Also note that disc 2, track 14 is the original end titles from the album. The final track is the expanded arrangement that appeared in the film.

I was planning to use the album version of Giza Port and Night Borders so I wouldn't have to worry about the way they mixed with the annoying piano music.

And yes, I do not you can't pause it one you begin. I don't why they didn't just isolate it to the picture. Oh, well. I've got all week to get it done right.

Jeron

I don't think you gave your own name enough space on the cover.

Just MY opinion ...

I have a program called DVD Station that came with my Phillips DVD ROM Drive. This program allows me to pause the isolated score to The Mummy. Don't ask me how it does it but I can pause and fast forward through areas of some DVDs that don't allow me to on my home DVD player. I found this very helpful in recording iso scores to movies like The Mummy.

2. The Sarcophagus 2:12
3. Tauger Attack Part I 2:19

6. The Library 0:45
7. The Map 0:35
8. The hanging 0:56

30. Crowd Control
31. Plane vs. Mummy
32. Goodbye Winston
33. Rebirth

36. The Sand Volcano

My version used all of the album versions and some of the shorter cues are combined (for example, "Eclipse" is both that cue and Wedge's "The Mummy Approaches").

So, who's the winner? I like some of Wedge's "cheekier" titles.

My version versus Wedge's version:

I did more custom work on how my tracks were mixed and arranged than I'm sure most would care to. As Wedge mentioned, there is a volume difference between what you have on the cd release and what you have on the DVD. Wedge may not have noticed it, but there is also a very slight, almost unnoticeable recording difference. This is most likely because the CD was prepped for commercial release, thus the sound quality was tweaked. There was no need to do that on the iso for the simply reason of why it was being included. I liked the quality better on the tracks from the commercial release, so I blended those in with the missing cues included on the DVD and equalized the volume and quality between the two. When there was a track that was different on the iso than on the cd release, I'd include the cd-released cue as an alternate. I went as far as including all of the source music, as well. With cues such as "Night Boarders," I included the version on the cd and separated the source cues so that it all played very clean without sudden fades and such. It makes it kind of fun, and definitely a more enjoyable listen.

All in all my "self-created" edition of "The Mummy Complete" plays extremely well, with no sound flaws or volume differences. I'm actually quite proud of it.

To answer Dantoris' question, I used Paint Shop Pro 6 and Adobe Photoshop to make the covers.

I've recently learned how to do this.

These two I'll have to find.

-a sound editing program like Cool Edit Pro to amplify the volume of the resulting waveform since it is at line level
-a sound editing program like Cool Edit Pro which can downsample 48KHz audio to CD-quality 44.1KHz, 16-bit audio (for all those who think that DVD sound quality is inferior to CD, you are wrong; the sampling rate is even higher for a DVD than for CD; compression has very little impact on the resulting sound)
-obviously a CD-burner and recording software such as Nero Burning ROM for trouble free operation and PLEASE always use DAO (disc-at-once) when burning your CDs
-most of all, a lot of time and patience[/B]

Got all of those.

Ergo: Great! You were greatly of help. Looking forward now to listening to my soon-to-be-created iso-score CDs!

The problem you are having is most likely due to a read error on your DVD-ROM when you pulled the VOB. I know it doesn't sound like much fun, but you'll have to pull the VOB again. AC3DEC is crashing because there is garbage in the file which it can't figure out.

As I stated, you will need a lot of patience and time when doing this.

What program are you using to pull the VOBs? I use DODSRIP and haven't had any problems so far and it's faster than DeCSS.

Much to the chagrin of some people who post on this forum who would rather you not know how to do this, here is a more detailed explanation of what I have done in the hopes of preventing any additional poor-quality DVD rips to appear on the score scene:

1) Using DODSRIP, pull the VOB files. This can be done one at a time if you are short on drive space. Just realize that a cue may continue in the next VOB and will have to be joined when you break the waveforms into individual tracks.

2) Using VOBSNOOPY, extract the audio stream which corresponds to the isolated score, usually the last one. This is saved in AC3 format.

3) Using AC3DECODE, you can hear what the extracted audio stream sounds like by not giving a destination file. It will play back through your sound card. If it doesn't sound right here, then something has gone wrong.

4) Use AC3DECODE to convert the AC3 waveform to a 48KHz (not 44.1KHz) WAV file.

5) Make sure your sound editing program can handle 48KHz waveforms and can downsample them to CD quality 44.1KHz. I use Cool Edit Pro 1.2.

6) Amplify the waveform to about -.33dB, since the extracted audio is at line level and is not suitable to be placed to CD at the current level of amplification. Note, once you've decided on the dB boost, keep this constant for all of the audio streams you extract. e.g. if you amplify the first waveform by 8dB, amplify all additional ones by this amount to keep a constant volume. DON'T "normalize" every cue to 0dB, since not every cue is meant to be that loud. This is my biggest complaint about others who make DVD conversions or CDs from MP3s.

7) Transform the 48KHz waveform to 44.1KHz stereo waveform (CD quality) by using downsampling at a high precision rate. This will eat up a lot of time and processing power, but it is well worth it for a great sounding final product.

The rest you should be able to figure out yourself.

Hopefully this has been helpful to you and others.

I've noticed one thing, though: After decoding the audio stream, ac3decode writes the message: "demux_buffer: ull_data() request was 4, could only supply one"

I'm not sure what this means, but I've this theory: The program finished decoding the audio stream, and created a 4-canal stream from the 5.1 DD stream. But it can't manage to encode the Stereo Dolby Surround stream from this 4-canal (left, right, center, rear) stream. Don't know why it doesn't at least write 2 stereo streams, left & right. Because when direclty playing the ac3 file instead of writing it to a wav file, it DOES use both speakers.

Maybe I've got a wrong version of the "in_ac3.dll" file? Mine is from 00-01-25 and has 102,400 bytes.

[This message has been edited by Marian Schedenig (edited 08 April 2000).]

BUT: I just managed to rip the "Universal" trailer from by "Dragonheart" DVD and extract Jerry's fanfare to a wav file...using AC3DECODE (although it again showed me the "buffers" message, the result sounds just fine)! So it just seems that the problem must have something to do with ripping the VOB files. Maybe not only the "Matrix" VOB's are defect, but also those of "Alien". Now if I only knew why...

However, I just found the solution to a part of my problem: According to http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/support/matrixrip.html , the files ripped from "Matrix" are screwed up because they did some strange things when mastering the DVD, probably because of the "White Rabbit" feature. The website explains how to create a working copy of the movie, so I'm going to try this next.

If that works, the only problem remaining is that of decoding the audio streams. Today, AC3DEC didn't even manage to create a working WAV file, it always left out the "FMT" chunk so no program would play the file. Strange enough, the ONLY audio stream I have successfully decoded so far is from a code 2 DVD. But I don't think that can be the reason, because my drive is region-free. Still, I'm a bit confused.

NP: STILL TRYING!

Thanks to all, especially majestyx! Looking forward to my complete "Matrix" and "Alien" CDs!
