[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Could you list the aspect ratios for the shorts? I assume most are 1.33:1 and some are 1.19:1.

Also which soundtracks are in stereo and which are in mono?

[Matt_Bailey]

You do know how long that would all take, right?

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Whenever you have the time.
I assume the silents are in 1.33:1, so it's the sound films that are in question.

[Matt_Bailey]

It could be anything, we're probably not looking at first-gen sources here.

I would also assume stereo for the silents and mono for the talkies but again, that would take hours to check.

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Most likely so for the scores, especially if they are newly recorded ones.
Thank you. Whenever you have the time with the sound film aspect ratios. Looking to see which ones are in the slightly rare early talkies 1.19:1 ratio.

Claire Parker

What is the aspect ratio, audio, subtitle options for this short?

[Matt_Bailey]

Are there credits for the music for these shorts? Are they in stereo or mono?

They're all sound-era films, they just happen not to have any dialog (or rather, dialog that involves actual words, there's some gibberish singing in a couple of the Reiniger films).

I have no idea how Bald Mountain slipped past me.

[Matt_Bailey]

Bald Mountain is French title cards/opening credits, no dialog, 1.33:1.

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Added the set. Thanks for all the info.
