I find myself downloading a lot of movies that are dubbed in latino Spanish. I’ve checked fmhy torrents, but unfortunately, there just isn’t a lot of latino Spanish content available on torrents.

(Yes, there is a lot of Spanish Spanish content… but… meehhh…)

However, I have had better luck with fmhy streaming. It’s not the best quality, 720p or 1080p if I’m lucky. But it’s better than nothing.

I was recently wondering, how does dubbing actually work? Is there a video difference between English and Spanish movies? Or is there just literally an audio track being swapped out?

Could I take an audio track from a 720p stream and add it to a 4K torrented movie file and expect the audio and video to line up?

    It’ll be hit or miss. If it’s ripped from the same source then it should be fine, but different editions, TV edits, scenes that are cut in some versions or additional title cards at the beginning will mess it up so you’d need to QC it.

    Slightly off topic, but might be useful to you: If you look for BluRay remuxes you can also often find things with multiple audio tracks. Then you can just strip everything unwanted out of the container, which would leave you with the original video and a Spanish dub. Also, since you are looking for specifically Latino Spanish, I would hope this is also released on BluRay releases, or do we have systemic racism to thank for that not being one of the many common audio dubs…

    Your best bet for quality dubbed content is to find the raw blu-ray torrent (check for the included audio tracks), and retranscode to x264, x265 or AV1 with Handbrake and the audio tracks you want to keep. No need to tinker with a/v sync from there.
