Where are the blockbuster movie riffs????

[Danecho1967]

So, I couldn't find my old 2 channel reauthors for the LOTR or Star Wars riffs.  The only one I could find was "The Dark Knight."  I made a video that kind of shows the difference between 2 and 6 channel riffs.  The Star Wars films would have made my points better, because the musical soundtrack was almost constant throughout, but I think I found some good clips to show how 6 channel reauthoring makes the riff sound more incorporated in the mix, rather than dropped on top of it.  At any rate, here it is.

The only problem I have with the 6 channels is that they won't work when using my PlayStation 3. I probably need to play around with the audio options.

I don't have a PS3, but I followed some instructions I found (somewhere) for streaming to PS3 when I set my Handbrake encoding settings.  The only thing that I change for audio is that I set the bitrate at 256, as per the instructions.

We have a DVD player with surround sound, but it either doesn't work or we just don't use it.

Huh.  I just successfully synced up the Captain America riff and I don't need PTSD therapy. Maybe syncing's NOT so bad after all!

Good for you, still swinging away at a point no one's making.

Yeah, it's not that it's hard.  People just don't want to bother with it.  Like changing the oil in your car.

I guess the same goes for reauthoring, which is a hobby to me.  It's something I enjoy doing.

Trimming my fingernails and re-making my bed are both things I really don't want to bother doing, but I still sync Rifftrax.

I don't usually remake my bed.  You just have to unmake it again at the end of the day, anyway.

I mean in the "clean the sheets and then put them all back on again" form of "re-make"

Oh, well, yeah I do that too.  But I do pay someone else to change my oil.

I would go back and quote everyone who's cited syncing as a one reason they prefer VODs but it'd be more fun if you go back and reread this thread yourself.

They've said it was EASIER. How does your post dispute that?

I think someone slipped an extra "go to 10" line into this thread somewhere.

It's easier to nuke a tv dinner than it is to fix a home cooked meal, too.  Just saying.

But it strikes me as a moot argument.  Rifftrax isn't going to a public domain VOD business model because it's easier for customers.  They're doing it because it's more profitable.  I'm cool with that on one level, and bummed about it on another.
