Do you have a bluray copy of this film? I was surprised when I got the disc for Laura and found the original dialogue track was not in French like I assumed, but English. The mouth movements match the audio. The same thing is true for Bilitis - it was filmed in English. As opposed to Tendres Cousines and Premiers Desirs, two of Hamilton's other movies where the actors were speaking French. I downloaded the Bilitis BD, from Usenet I think, and my release is from Spain so I have to select the English audio track but it's there.

Re: [REL] Bilitis (1977)
Similar situation for me; I was always under the impression these were French language films, even after watching them! I only later found out Bilitis and Laura are actually in English and, at the time (several years ago) I tried searching for an English version of Laura along with an HD English version of Bilitis but to no avail, so it's fantastic to see they both exist in HD English now! I did not know that English was the proper audio for only Laura and Bilitis specifically however, so that's good to know.deadman wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 4:13 pm

I currently have two downloaded copies of Bilitis, one SD English, the other HD French. I actually tried putting the English audio track on top the HD version but I wasn't tech savvy to pull it off. So that said, I just was curious if any of the downloads of Bilitis in this thread are both HD and English, lest I blindly download another French version again.
Re: [REL] Bilitis (1977)
WTF???? Are you kidding me? IMDB says it is French, and IMDB never lies. Most of the actors are French! Patti D'Arbanville was born in New York, true ...
OK, I'm calm now. You were really watching them TALK in these movies?
Multiple Blu-rays that have been released include multiple audio tracks, so it makes sense that there would be rips with different languages. Therarbg has several labeled as DUBBED which could be English, German, Spanish, Russian ... but apparently not the "original" language French.
For reference: https://therarbg.com/get-posts/keywords:bilitis/
Most of the DUBBED torrents do NOT have Seeders in my client. There is ONE that is 1.48Gb with 1-2 intermittent seeders. Verified later by me as ENGLISH, currently at 98%.

The 11.93 Gb 1080p posted at FLM by Mexlink is FRENCH.

It is fairly easy to remux audio if the framerate of the two sources is the same. But if you have a 24fps BluRay and a 25fps DVD, it takes some stretching/compressing that can be tricky. I never succeeded at that.
GOOD news! There is a Russian torrent that has 3-4 seeders!

Re: [REL] Bilitis (1977)
I only paid attention after I first watched the bluray of Laura and everyone was speaking English, so I looked closely at their mouths to see if it was real or dubbed. That made me curious about Hamilton's other films.

Yes, that rutracker file appears to be taken from the Spanish bluray - which is what I downloaded from Usenet. Except of course for the added Russian audio everything else is the same.
Oh I absolutely hate trying to convert audio between different framerates! Most of the time it either straight up fails (same audio out) or results in a noisy track that sounds like crap. Who knows? Maybe we're doing something wrong.
Re: [REL] Bilitis (1977)
WHEW!! I was worried that you actually thought Hamilton dialog was important or something.
I may pay some attention to their tasty MOUTHS, but not what they say.
Not letting ghost do it for us is always a mistake.Oh I absolutely hate trying to convert audio between different framerates! ... Who knows? Maybe we're doing something wrong.
(But he has to be interested in the movie, and I don't think he likes anything Hamilton.)
When possible, the preferred audio should be left the same and then muxed into a VIDEO that has had its framerate altered. If we do a dual-language version that is probably not possible. I know that ghost routinely converts audio AND video together to 25fps without problems for either the video or the audio. I am not sure if it is possible to do the same in converting to 24fps or 23.976fps. There may be something magical about 25fps.
Re: [REL] Bilitis (1977)
No, I'm really not in this Hamilton stuff. These blurry teenagers...(But he has to be interested in the movie, and I don't think he likes anything Hamilton.)
The only movie I've kept was Laura.
So, were's the problem with the audio?16.67Gb 1080p with audio in Russian/French/English, subtitles in Spanish/Portuguese/German:
I read Russian/French/English.
I had no time to read all your long conversations. Just tell me, what audio track needs to be fixed. It is not a great deal, if it's only a framerate issue.
Re: [REL] Bilitis (1977)
For the most part they could be speaking an ancient dead language no one knows and you wouldn't be missing much. But the original track is always worth seeking out because it's the only one you can be sure the audio background hasn't been screwed with.
rutracker is a great source - but I always strip out the awful voiceover. They have some burly Russian mob enforcer who does the dub track, and has all the emotional range of a terminator. No matter who the character is, an old man, an 8 year old girl, they all sound like the same gruff Russian mobster.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm curious as to how one converts an audio track from one framerate to another without messing it up. What software do you use?
Re: [REL] Bilitis (1977)
The RARBG torrent I linked completed at 100%, and I verified it as actually ENGLISH.

Re: [REL] Bilitis (1977)
The 16.67Gb Rutracker torrent completed, and the English audio track sounds good. Unfortunately, the French audio track sounds BAD -- noisy and tinny. (I really can not evaluate the Russian voiceover, other than to say it is a single male voice for all characters. He at least sounds less gruff than his "mob enforcer" older uncle, as deadman describes a typical Russian voiceover.) This video is a poor choice if someone is looking for French audio, and a good choice for English.
The 1.48Gb RARBG DUBBED 1080p file I linked is also a good choice for English, and much smaller! There is another 1.48Gb RARBG FRENCH 1080p file with the same video and runtime, that is a good choice for French:
https://therarbg.com/post-detail/592f60 ... xt-orarbg/
I expect that the video is not as good as mexlink's eMule 11.93Gb French 1080p version, but it is good enough for my eyes and I do not feel like doing a pixel-peeping comparison.
