A lot of Dune fans were a little disappointed that the new Dune DVD had a few problems. The audio in the beginning was out of sync, some words were obviously dubbed over, and some shots were only placed where they were to cover what would have been a jump cut (the latter two problems have present since the first Smithee/Extended Cut release on TV)

I decided to try and fix the scene in the beginning with the Emperor and the Navigator. Most footage is taken from the Theatrical Cut to get rid of the occasional word dubbing, and while there are a few rough patches jumping between Theatrical and Extended, there are fewer closeups.

While I love the otherworldly electronic sound to the Theatrical Cut's Navigator, I ultimately went with the more human/angry voice of the Extended Cut in order to include the additional dialogue/information.

Finally, the new Dune DVD had the music for the last part of the scene awkwardly out of sync, so the audio from an older TV Cut was used.
