Does anyone know who is the manufacturer of this karaoke?

This is an excellent version and I would like to buy some of their karaoke like this one.

That is a homemade video using the track created originally by Pioneer - you'd be hard pressed to find it.

Thanks for the info.

Sound Choice 8418 is close but I think I may have found one of the SGB Gems in SGB 0067. I listened to the video and the SGB version sounds even closer to that one than the SC version. I was listening through my laptop speakers so it may not be the best sample but running the video at the same time as the file they sounded pretty close.

It's definitately a Pioneer track not the SGB.

Not disputing that, just stating that of the three Duprees' tracks that I have and could compare the video to, I think the SGB version is the closest to the video. Personally, my favorite is the standard (Jo Stafford) DK version even though I learned the song from the SC track. Anyhow, just thought the OP might have better luck finding and being able to play, the SGB version over the Pioneer lazer disc version, and it sounded pretty close to what they were looking for.

I take it that you're referring to Pioneer laser disc karaoke?

I have the SGB track as well and not even close - the horns are very synthy sounding and the overall track is tinny sounding. Apparantly the SGB music is what SBI & Karaoke-Version used for their track of this as well. Oddly enough I listened to the THM version as well & this one is also the same as the SGB. The SC version would be the best bet in this case, MUCH better sounding than the SGB and closer to the Pioneer track (and original track musically) http://www.soundchoicestore.com/the-dup ... 1468.html# . You can hear a sample here.
It can also be purchase on a custom http://www.mykaraokecdg.com.au/customer ... long+to+me however you would need to find 4 other songs as it is a 4 song minimum.

Unfortunately yes that was the only format Pioneer put it out on.

I listened to the SC version and it's okay but really falls obviously short in quality compared to the Pioneer version, which is as close to the original as it can get. I've learned that it's not just about the way the instruments and background vocals sound. Some tracks are more difficult to sing along with because they lack fullness. They are apparently not being recorded with the best preparation and equipment--perhaps piracy has something to do with not investing the money and time to create the kind of quality Pioneer produced years ago. A lot of karaoke tracks on the market were recorded years ago when technology wasn't as good. So the electronic instruments sound pretty dismal compared to today's technology. But this makes the Pioneer version of "You Belong To Me" even more impressive because though it was likely recorded almost 20 years ago, it's still the clear winner compared to anything on the market today.

Is this the same Pioneer karaoke as what I linked to above but on DVD instead of laser disc?

They did put some of their library on CDG & DVD unfortunately that particular song never made it to either.

just grab the audio from the video and make your own cdg file. That's what I would do if I wanted that version of the song badly enough. You could even try to join the audio from the Pioneer track with the cdg file of the SGB track if you think that they are close to each other timing wise.
