Jeanne d'Arc - Criterion Collection with Einhorn's Voices

Criterion DVD, complete with Voices of Light. *************************** I also included the extras in a separate file (and even the the menus, cause they have very interesting information - to be watched frame by frame). The one thing from the Criterion release you won't find is the audio essay by Casper Tybjerg. *************************** Intertitles: French Subtitles: English and Spanish *.srt files Audio: Richard Einhorn's Voices of Light 4CC: xvid Runtime: 01h 22m 27s x:y: 624x464 (1.34:1) [=39:29] Bitrate: 1180 kb/s FPS: 23.976 Qf: 0.170 bits/pixel *************************** Synopsis, from Criterion website: http://www.criterion.com/films/228 With its stunning camerawork and striking compositions, Carl Th. Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc convinced the world that movies could be art. Renée Falconetti gives one of the greatest performances ever recorded on film, as the young maiden who died for God and France. Long thought to have been lost to fire, the original version was miraculously found in perfect condition in 1981—in a Norwegian mental institution. Criterion is proud to present this milestone of silent cinema in a new special edition featuring composer Richard Einhorn’s Voices of Light, an original opera/oratorio inspired by the film.

I have a great connection--for downloading. Thanks to f@#$ing Comcast, they punish me every time I try to upload at an acceptable speed. F@#$ers.
Thanks for this version--it really is one of the best films every made, irregardless of period.

First class. extras.avi requires resync (3 sec delay). Thanks.

I was SO excited about this; an old classic, restored from a good print and Criterion, to boot.
Unfortunately, I afraid it's been damaged. Although my copy passes the hash check, it has several bad sections in the first few minutes of the movie (e.g. the explanatory text at the beginning is cut off--missing keyframe, perhaps?)
Not a deal-breaker but certainly annoying.

The audio on the extras is badly out of sync.

This is a travesty: there is no decent copy of the Criterion edition of “Le passion de Jeanne d'Arc” on either Demonoid or The Pirate Bay.
The 4.33 GB full-disc rip (VIDEO_TS) file is the exact same on both sites and the 10.9 MB part containing the extra features and color bars – VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.VOB – is corrupt and will not play.
The film itself, with the choice of silence, Richard Einhorn’s musical score (in stereo or 5.1 Dolby), or commentary tracks, seems to be OK, but I am not sure if you burn this to a DVD (isn’t that what a VIDEO_TS upload is for?) that it will play.
The corrupt file whizzes by in about one second (when played on VLC Media Player) and then the system crashes with a pop-up from “Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library” which states, “Runtime Error! Program C:Program FilesVideoLanVLCvlc.exe – This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application’s support team for more information.”
You then have to click “OK” to get out of the pop-up and close the VLC screen which has frozen with the last image from the corrupt video data (the color bars).
There is a reduced .avi version of the Criterion edition available, too, on TPB, but the synchronization is off by quite a few second on the bonus materials.
So all I can find that works are some grainy, un-restored .avi copies with a droopy old soundtrack which is very out of place.
Can somebody with the Criterion edition please correct this omission?
Thank you.
