Dark Side Of The Moon album synched to The Wizard Of Oz film.

Has anybody actually tried this, and had it work? I tried it a couple times, but can't seem to get it synched just right.

From wiki...

Real or imagined, the effect is usually created by pausing a CD of the album at the very beginning, starting the DVD or tape of the film with the TV volume muted, and un-pausing the CD when the black-and-white MGM lion roars for the third time. (Note some versions have a color lion also. The black and white lion is the right one to use for the best results.) A minority of devotees argue that un-pausing the CD on the first roar produces a superior alignment. The effect can be repeated during the film by restarting the CD when the 'Cowardly Lion', during his initial scene, roars for the third time.

Another synch point is the appearance of credits for producer Mervyn LeRoy exactly as songs transition from "Speak to Me" to "Breathe". However, this does not match the starting point of the 'third roar'.[9] When using this, the screaming from "Breathe" begins right as LeRoy's name appears.

A vinyl recording can also be used by cuing up the beginning of the record at the third roar of the MGM lion and dropping the needle when pressing play. At the end of 'The Great Gig in the Sky', and side one of the record, the farm house in the movie falls out of the sky landing on the screen turning it black. This is where one pauses the movie, and turns the record over to side two. (It is also a good place to start if the record becomes out of synch.)

If the music and movie become unsynched when using a cd, the one hour point of the movie corresponds to 2:14 of Great Gig in the Sky (using LeRoy's credit as a marker). This means the movie is 8 seconds ahead of the CD (2:14 of Great Gig in the Sky is 16:52 into the CD. The CD is playing a second time, and the entire length is 43 minutes exactly.)

Most users have explored this phenomenon using the original or 1994 re-issue editions of the album in CD format.

Another factor that could affect the quality of the perceived synch is the version of the film used. The NTSC version, used in the United States, runs 101 minutes while the PAL version, used in Europe, runs 98 minutes. (This is caused by the 576i speedup, a side effect of the most commonly used method to transfer 35mm movies which runs at 24 frames per seconds to PAL, which runs at 25 frames a second.) Most users who have made websites touting the effect appear to be based in the USA. When using a PAL version of the DVD, digitally speeding up the album by 4.16% prior to starting fixes any problems with syncing.

All the time in the world to post in an online forum, but no time to try to witness one of the greatest rock albums of all time synched to one of the greatest films of all time??????

You people amaze me.

i have actualy tried this and if you are stoned it is a trip

It works.

But the album doesnt last the entire movie.
