[Released] Rugrats Duology Cinema DTS synced to 4K WEB-DLs

Ever since I first looked and saw the TrueHD audio for both films, I felt detested, mostly because they're just the original near-field DVD mixes from the original PCM sources and converted to TrueHD. The best check I remember was that the LFE channel seems to be in 16-bit, probably because it was taken from the AC3 source. Another thing was that the first movie has an LFE crossover with the front channels, which does feel distracting. Sure, if you got TrollHD's HDTV rip of the first film, it has a new mix without the LFE crossover and no low-pass filter for the LFE channel, but it's still Dolby Digital, and later rips like the Starz WEBRip of the first use the DVD mix.

Thankfully, my dream was finally fulfilled since I finally got both Cinema DTS discs for both films, and as expected, they sound amazing, though the first movie is a hassle for me, because this is the first time I know that a Cinema DTS disc has different delays for the rear channels. Case in point, 40ms on rear right, 80ms on rear left and 10ms on LFE, so I fixed them. Though to be fair, I likely took inspiration from the LFE sync from the TrueHD audio to get it right. The second film thankfully doesn't have any rear channel delays.

Just found out that the rear channels have been fixed on the last reel, so I just released v1.0.1 of the sync to the first movie.
