DVDs with isolated score tracks

[ManofDestiny 104]

Since I love to have a legit complete score of "Legends of the Fall", "Edward Scissorhands" and "Final Fantasy", I want to buy the DVD from Amazon and rip the score.

But I am facing some problems.

First, are these items are the DVDs contain isolated score?

Than, are the isolated score commentary free?

Lastly, how are the quality of the isolated score? Are they lossless?

If my ripping going well, I would consider to buy more DVD for rip, i.e. Glory, 1941, Red Dragon. So please help, thank you.

DVD's generally don't contain lossless audio. Most blu-rays do.

[Richard P 5,302]

If you look on Soundtrack.net those 3 DVDs are listed as having isos on region 1.

Another sign is if a composer commentary is listed on the product page. I've never seen one that didn't isolated the music underneath.

But, watch out for the Final Fantasy one. Goldenthal talks over a lot of the music. Elfman possibly does on Scissorhands too.

[Frank Vincent 301]

All three isolated scores are also available on the R2 releases. Goldenthal does indeed talk over a lot of the music. Elfman only a few times.

The problem with iso scores on region 2 is that they are PAL, so the music is 4% faster then it should be.

[Richard P 5,302]

Gives us 4% more time to do other stuff

If you know the rate at which the music is artificially sped up, you can artifically slow it down to match what's normal.

Or, if you've never heard the "real" presentation, then you shouldn't care.

[Richard P 5,302]

I ripped Contact from the R2 DVD and didn't slow it down. Sounds fine to me.

Anyone have any blu-rays that duplicate the isolated score? I'm keeping my disc buying controlled, and lossless isolated music would be a swayer.

And the volume is low, at least in my Superman DVD.

Not that I know why you need to rip the Superman DVD when we have the full score on the Rhino and FSM releases.

[Jonesy 55]

I know it, but I was curious. I think the isolated score last around 90 minutes.

You can easily boost the amplitude (in Audacity etc) provided there isn't too much noise in the background.

[Jonesy 55]

I'm not sure if there noise, I will check it.

EDIT: I just check it and the music sounds very well.

The Superman DVD costs is about $10, the Rhino soundtrack costs no more than $20, and the FSM box set is still $120.

and the superman disc has certain clean endings

I've discovered the 2010 special edition Blu-ray of the BBC's Planet Earth apparently has isolated scores for all episodes in DD 2.0. Should receive it this weekend to verify.

Pretty damn cool.

Not a case for ripping every second, but there are a bunch of unreleased tracks I want.

Edit - turns out it's a music + effects track. 'Music only episode play' my ass. Idiots.

Even though we have the full sessions for The Matrix the Blu-Ray stand alone for the movie would be worth getting to rip the techno pieces and to have the film version opening of "Hotel Ambush" (with out those overlays at the beginning). I do believe the isolated score on the Blu-Ray version of The Matrix is lossless.
