audio issue with On Her Majesty's Secret Service?

Post by mbta3247 »

I've noticed what may be a problem with the 5.1 audio tracks for On Her Majesty's Secret Service. There's a couple of scenes where the dialog sounds weird, like there's an echo effect. It only occurs, so far as I can tell, when the speaker is off-camera. It seems that the right and left channels are slightly out of sync in those cases - the problem goes away when using the mono soundtrack or when I disconnect one of my speakers while using the 5.1 tracks (I only have stereo speakers). Am I imagining things, or did they screw up when they converted the soundtrack to 5.1 channels?

For those of you wishing to verify this, 1:19:25 is a good point to check.

Is this from the disc or from an transcode?

From the disc, I assume. It's present in the mkv file I made with MakeMKV.

Sometimes the output from MakeMKV can be a bit funky. Try opening it in mkvtoolnix and then save it, and see if you still have this problem.

I sure hope it's a MakeMKV problem and not the disc! This is one of the Bond movies I've been waiting for.

Did you use a MakeMKV profile to convert DTS-HD to FLAC?

I have confirmed that the issue is present on the disc itself by playing it with the BD player on my Windows partition.

Well, if it affects all discs, this sucks. I'm not going to get this set right away though.

It's only the one disc I've noticed this issue on.

I meant "all discs of OHMSS" as in, not specific to your purchase and/or setup. Won't be getting Bond 50 for a while though.

Hopefully if it's widespread there'll be an exchange program.

Wouldn't be the first time a major studio has had to do a recall/exchange... I still remember the Inception DVD debacle.
