Was it removing fat-b*stard entirely, by any chance? :p
 
I'm curious: run time difference? :)

Ok, so I could use a little help from the community. This edit is currently taking up over 200 GB of my 1 TB hard drive. Before I delete all the project files, I'd really like to have confirmation that each of the versions (DVD, AVCHD, and mkv) work properly with no technical problems.

Absent this confirmation, I will have no choice but to hold the sequel edit hostage...

...for one...

...million...

...dollars!

Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!

I just downloaded and burned the DVD 5. I was spot checking the final burn and noticed something odd, while the audio sounds fine during most scenes, any sequence I found which takes place in a room with an echo has the echo exceedingly exaggerated either as if the echo were amplified, or more likely, the surround channels were slightly out of synch. I compared against my DVD playing on the same equipment and there is a definite difference between the two. The original still has a very slight, but appropriate echo sound whereas the edit has a really out of phase sound to it.

Perhaps this is unique to the DVD version? [MENTION=4677]bionicbob[/MENTION], you reviewed the AVI, if you still have it can you check those sequences? Easy ones for reference are any scene in Dr. Evil's board room as well as the Casino Bathroom.

hmmm, I feel bad if this is the case. I only spot-checked the DVD for Frink and gave him a thumbs up. I can check the DVD this weekend more closely. Can you give me some timecodes to check?

Easy to have happened, if you don't stumble onto the right scenes it's pretty subtle.

Easiest places to spot it:

15:00 - First scene in the Evil Lair
24:26 - Second Evil Lair scene (Scott)
30:38 - Casino Bathroom
32:10 - Third Evil Lair scene (1 Million Dollars!)
44:30 - Fourth Lair scene (Fembots)
48:22 - Group Therapy (and Carrie Fisher!)
There are other scenes where you can hear it with songs with vocals etc.. but nothing stands out as much as those scenes.

No, sorry I have since deleted the files. But I don't remember any echo issues, and I think something like that would have stood out, unless it is very subtle? But I do remember some echo on the bonus content mkv file but I never gave it any real thought since it was not the feature edit.

Thanks. I'll check and report back this weekend. I really hope I don't hear anything.
 
I think this may be due to the Blu-Ray source. I certainly did not amplify the rear channels, and I'm reasonably certain the channels are all in sync. They look to be in sync in Vegas (i.e. start/end points seem to match up on audio/video where appropriate).

First off, I noticed it when I was doing the editing. It's very noticeable in Vegas with headphones. As a test, I just brought the original (un-edited) ripped files into Vegas again and listened, and it's definitely there.

However, when I listened on my surround system (and granted, that has to fight ambient noise) I didn't really notice it too much. I tried it again today with both the AVCHD (same exact AC3 file used as the DVD and the mkv, btw) and the original Blu-Ray, and they sounded pretty much identical to each other. I then tried the original DVD and it did sound slightly less out of sync but not terribly different.

I tried listening to the actual Blu disc on my computer buy the players I have don't seem to support both Blu and 5.1 at the same time.

I'm going to rip the original DVD and see if it sounds less echo-y than my edit in Vegas.

I suspect that on the Blu source, the rear channels were purposely un-synched very slightly as a "creative decision." But it would be great if someone else could compare their Blu to my DVD and comment.

EDIT: I checked the first evil lair scene.

^ I just had a quick check of those scenes. There is echo but not an inapropriate ammount given the echoey locations that they take place in. I didn't notice anything out of place when I originally watched the DVD5 I've got. If you say there is more echo than the original then it's an error but an error that for me at least is negligable.
 
And Throw, don't feel bad, you were doing me a favor and I'm pretty sure you told me before it was only a spot check.

I think someone with better ears than me needs to compare the original DVD and the original Blu-Ray. Or at least the original Blu-Ray and my DVD-5.
 
I just imported the audio from the original dvd into Vegas. It sounds pretty similar to the Blu audio, with the exception that it is much quieter. When I raised the volume on the dvd volume to match the blu volume, they sounded pretty much identical.

At this point I'm reasonably convinced that there's nothing out of sync in the edit, but more confirmation would definitely be welcome.
 
I'm about half an hour in (watching the DVD5) and I noticed what L8 is talking about its nothing super distracting but the echo in the evil lair meeting scenes seems a bit louder than it should be. But I could be wrong.
 
Review also posted on IFDB:

So its been YEARS since i've seen the original Austin Powers (probably at least 10 years, no exaggeration. So seeing as Frink had made an edit of the movie, I thought it'd be the perfect time to revisit it.

This is the first Frink edit I've watched from start to finish (I tried Ridiculous Menace and AOTR but they ended up not being my my cup of tea). I didn't read the cutlist before watching and I didn't rewatch the theatrical cut before watching this edit. But I did know that Frink had removed some of the potty humor.

The editing was pretty good. I did catch myself saying a few times "isn't there supposed to be a line or gag here?" but that was a consequence of remembering the original, the editing was damn near invisible for this edit!

Overall I enjoyed this edit. That being said I'll stick with the original. After viewing the cutlist, I missed most of the parts that Frink removed. But this is Frink's edit and not mine!

This edit is worth a watch, especially if you haven't seen the original in awhile and if you're like Frink and others who weren't fans of the potty humor in the theatrical cut.

Oh and a parting word to Frink, "Sanitized" is misspelled at the very end credits! Yeah, I went there! :p
