Night Of The Living Dead Question...
#1
Hey all!
I've been driving myself batshit over this.

I've got NOTLD in several flavors:

1 Riffer, Mike solo. 
3 Riffers, Studio- Mike, Kevin & Bill.
3 Riffer -Live.

Now, what is driving me bonkers, is I'm almost certain there is a version
with all 3 tracks listed above plus a Quip or Iriff of some sort.

Does anyone have a clue? I'm not at home to tear thru all my archives.
If anyone can help me play Where's Waldo, I'd sure appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!

It doesn't sound far fetched.  If you are searching this forum, I'd search for the iRiffs, and those sometimes will include the RT without even mentioning it.

I searched here and couldn't find anything with all three. Then I was going to sync all them up myself to the remastered Criterion video, but the copies I had were incompatible fps. Even the live version was 29.97 fps despite being 720p.

You can change the fps without totally re-encoding the video. Just drag it into MKVToolNix, highlight the video track, then select either 24p, 24000/1001p (23.976), or 30000/1001p (29.97). Shouldn't take but like five minutes, ten if your rig is ancient.

Thanks, but that didn't work.  Or at least I couldn't get it to work.  I even tried bringing the audio into Adobe Premiere, making sure it was in sync at the beginning, then stretching the time to a sync point near the end (spoiler alert for a 50 year old film--I synced it to the shot that kills the black hero), and while those two points were in sync after I stretched it, middle parts I checked weren't.  This makes me think the Criterion 50th Anniversary version I have is a slightly different cut/length than the earlier one Rifftrax used (beyond the extra 42 or so seconds of credits and thanks at the top).

Speaking of which, the George Lucas Family Trust is thanked for the restoration.  Maybe he tinkered with it like his SW special editions and inserted some gratuitous CG aliens that messed up the length.  Anyway, I'm officially done trying to make it work.

I synced the 3-riffer and Mike Solo editions to the old BD at some point and it looks like all I need to do is a time-shift for the new CC BD. I'm not going to put in the time to get the Live Edition to sync and it does drift further and further away by a few seconds by the end. I'll do an encode tonight of the BD and upload tomorrow. You should be able to remux the RiffTrax to any CC encode you like though. Also I see 6 different iRiffs (none of them really notable and most of them VOD's as it's in the public domain) but I'm not going to try to sync those either (I would if I had any MP3 iRiffs for it).

Interesting that you synced it before. I downloaded a pre-CC/remastered version and had similar sync issues. With that version, I noticed a slight jump cut (few frames missing) in the opening shot of the car driving by that isn't in the Rifftrax SD sync I have or the CC version. I wonder if the different releases are slightly different lengths based on the source/film prints used (since the movie's p.d. and anyone can release it).

Then again, maybe I'm just screwing it up somehow.

As promised, includes Three-Riffer Edition, Mike-solo Edition, RiffTrax Live (thanks to LaGrrande), unriffed feature and both Criterion Commentaries, subs:

[RiffTrax] Night of the Living Dead (1968) 1080p BDRip [2.18 GB]

I did have to manually retime the audio for the original BD, luckily this time though it was just a time-shift.

So, yeah. You're basically the coolest person in the world right now. THANK YOU!

I'm a weirdo with about 600 zombie movies. This is obviously a BIG DEAL. Again, thank you. This consolidation is brilliant and saves on disc space. I vote YES for you!
