I need to take it back. The Aladdin DTS 5.1 track I was talking about was an edit based on the BD. I don’t know what I thought it was sourced from the 35mm.
Little Mermaid and Aladdin were orignaly Dolby stereo. Everything since then is an upmix.
I do know the Little Mermaid had a surround up/re-mix for the theatrical re-release and that track was included on the first DVD. After that you start getting Disney’s crap home theater mixes instead.
I’m not sure about the history of Aladdin, I’d assume it’s identical since the 35mm transfer is also a 5.1 DTS track.
Most of the audio coming from the from would be the most accurate.
Btw, I’ve seen the 35mm audio track of Aladdin, but where I found it they don’t have it synced to any video because of site rules (or something). You may have to sync the track yourself, but it’s worth it since there were lyric and dialog changes. Little Mermaid, afaik, doesn’t suffer from that.
Wow. I’d love to see if this is possible. I had to read your post twice to understand it.
You might want to try checking if the UHD HFR release is right or left eye only. If it is, you might possibly downscale the 4k source, and then take the missing eye side from the 3D BD, and then use an AI framerate increase on it.
Then you can skip depth maps, etc. Sure the extrapolate side will have lower quality, but when viewed in 3D the difference should smooth out.
I’d love to see this… assuming I have hardware capable of playing it.
Of course my preference would be the Hobbit films, since GM isn’t supposed to be very good and I skipped seeing it.
Edit: As far as the Hobbit goes, I’m fairly certain there is no such thing as 1080p48 on anything, 2D or 3D.
I always figured a HFR 2D release could be created (if you had a HFR source) by doing a double telecine to 60 fps and then decombing it. I suppose the same idea might hold for a 3D version.
Edit 2: Apparently my 8 year old Sony with Panasonic active 3d glasses handles 1080p60 3D just fine. I had my doubts.
I’m assuming you’ll keep the frame rate at the 59.94 that the UHD BD uses so you don’t have to re-encode the audio.
For anyone curious, here is a test I created. The source is the ‘Big Buck Bunny’ short (which has a Creative Commons license, so should be okay to post here). I split it, resized, restacked, re-encoded and slowed it to 1080p59.94 Half Side By Side 3D with Dolby 5.1 audio.

Have any more details? I only like the first movie, and On Stranger Tides (even though it is a corruption of the novel).
You guys seem to be interested in the “snow cones” censorship part of the forum. Well, here is a comparison of both the 3D blu-ray & the 2009 blu-ray:
As you can clearly see, the censored version (right) loses the detail of the snow cones as seen on the uncensored version (left).
If you can’t see the image, go here: https://imgur.io/a/QhGfpiY
Are the snow cones really censored? What am I seeing that they don’t want me to see there?
Yeah, that snow cone censorship is a mystery to me too.
The censored TS2 Harvey Weinstein joke I know about.
I rewatched some of this movie the other day, and while a lot of the elements seem recycled from prior movies, the real issue is Carina. She basically reduces the franchise’s original characters to pointlessness.
Has anyone tried removing some/most/all of Mary Sue Barbossa from the movie? It seems it would be so much more watchable.
I saw talk yesterday about a 4k transfer of a 35mm print of Aladdin, but can’t find it where it was reputed to be. Anyone know anything about it?
Nice work. My hope has always been someone deepfaking Ford to look younger so the action scenes seem more reasonable.
Considering he drank from the Holy Grail, it isn’t unreasonable to think he’d be younger looking than his age in Crystal Skull.
Hello DMC. I’m so happy to have found that someone has the restored of this special. If you would PM it to me that would be heavily obliged.
I was upset when I realized they removed so much. I looked online for the missing segments and when I came across this I had to sign up in hopes of being able to see Emmett Otter like i remember. DMC could you please PM me I would appreciate a copy of the the restored full version. Thank you so much for keeping this alive for Emmet Otter fans.
Sent and sent!
Thank you so much! Between getting this and the release of the full length version of Muppets Christmas Carol on D+ I’m sure to have a very merry muppet christmas this year lmao (I just watched that movie a few days ago). Thanks again and happy holidays.
Now you need a restored copy of the “Muppet Family Christmas”.
I haven’t updated this in a while, but I’ve seen no evidence that the newer releases from Disney are in any way respectful of the original versions.
If anyone has recommendations for changes, I’m open to them.
I know TheDigitalBits contact them about it, but I don’t think they got an answer.
AFAIK, YouTube uploaders can’t have more than 2-channels. 5.1 is only available for YouTube’s own movies.
Loving them so far! I’m noticing an odd reverb throughout much (but not all) of PoA. I’m not sure if it is in the others. Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I doing something wrong with my media player?
I mentioned this in July. Oddly, that’s the original tracks. It’s just something most people never noticed before.
I’m just waiting on Warner Bros. Discovery to resume the official HP extended editions. One that I’d really like to see is their own two-in-one cut of Deathly Hallows that includes both released and previously unseen footage.
Some of the scenes I want to see in particular are:
• Lupin asking Harry to be Teddy’s godfather
• Extended ‘Exodus’ montage that was featured in the trailers
• Additional footage of Scabior, which producer David Heyman said “was like watching Saw”
• In general, more Death Eather and battle footage
• Draco’s redemption, which everyone seems to be going crazy over 🙄
• Alternate death scene for Voldemort (Now this is a must! 😁)And many, many more. There is so much footage that I can’t bring myself to list every single scene right now, but more footage is always a plus. 😎
Oh wow!, when is this releasing and where? HBO Max or blu ray?
Not at all. Some of those scenes were alternate takes that weren’t consistent with the source. Some were just test images that were rejected by the director before the effects were even finished. Heck, some of the scenes I haven’t even heard they ever filmed.
I have this, but it’s another disc I forgot to backup the original .IFO files. So when IMGBurn made my disc, it padded the files corrupting them from the original.
I can tell you there is a post of this on youtube under the name “Crow City of Angels Enhanced Workprint”.
I noticed that on the Peacock streaming service (U.S.) some of the later Harry Potter films actually have some deleted scenes reinserted into them. The first two are the normal extended editions I think, but DHp1 for example actually has the Petunia Dursley scene in it. I think their timing of where that scene is placed is slightly different than yours, which doesn’t matter but I just thought it was neat that its officially into the movie now in some capacity.
Not necessarily ‘official’. As we’ve come to see over the years, whoever licenses broadcast (or streaming) rights can cut in (or out) any footage they want.
Some of the ABC edits of the Potter movies were pretty amateur. It was like an intern did them.
That’s not just true for HP movies. Unless there is a home video release or press release with the studio talking it up, just assume the people showing it have an unapproved edit.
The only really good thing about this is they might get some deleted content we’ve never seen before.
Of course you can usually find scripts if you want to know the official locations of those scenes. My edit of Half-Blood Prince had some cropping, chopping and dicing trying to get one deleted scene back where it was intended in the script.
Wow reminds me of SAM on the Apple ][+. You had to type a lot of things as syllables rather than actually words.
I love that FakeYou is a thing. Wow.
Watched the trailer and loved it. I hope you changed the spelling of Bears for the final version so it doesn’t sound as much like Beer.
Looks like a lot of Hot Shots 2 content. How can you hate that?
Was getting ready to watch this, and trying to figure some options out, I skipped towards the end to check a known censored line.
Unfortunately, if you listen with the uncensored track, when you get to the ‘f-- that saved the world’ line, the audio is heavily out of sync from then on. I checked and it’s true for both the color and noir versions.
Bummer.
What continues to make me crazy is that I swear I saw a cut of of this film with Indy waking up with his arm tied to the periscope with his whip as the submarine arrives at the island.
I clicked over to see the scene on YouTube and it’s not what I ‘remember’.
Yeah, I know it’s in the graphic novel. Heck, maybe some other movie ripped it off and that’s what I’m remembering.
I dunno. Sure you get all kinds of jerks when you do edits (I left Fanedit forums years ago for that reason), but re-reading user2000’s post, I’m more inclined to believe that what was said wasn’t intended to be mean.
OT forums isn’t just a place for fans. You have a lot of people that like to discuss editing and preservation in the best ways possible. So nitpicking, while normally is insulting, in cases like this it seems more like: ‘hey, did you know that…’.
There are things mentioned about x265 and 10-bit encoding I didn’t know. I learned something that I’ll use in the future.
And of COURSE everyone has an opinion about file size. You have picky people who probably want you to do UHD disc versions and you have people that want to be able to download it and watch it on their 5-year old cellphones.
Heck, ADigitalMan released DVD5 and DVD9 editions of his edits for that very reason… which, even though standard definition, I would still be watching if yours didn’t exist.
I just checked my disc, and you’re right. The original mix sounds just like that.
I’m surprised I never noticed that the audio mix is that poor and that it has never been fixed.
Sorry. I should have checked before posting.
So I got distracted and completely missed that v2.1 was released and grabbed them today. (Thanks, JJP).
…I hate being the one to mention this, but just checking PoA and I noticed that all three audio tracks are echo-y compared to v1.5.
Some scenes (like inside the Dursleys’ house) sound like they are in a public bathroom or something. I did a quick check on the other films, but it only seems to be an issue with ‘Prisoner’.
Anyone else notice this?
Seroiusly? You’re worried? Deathly Hallows is monster sized. I don’t think anyone expected it quickly.
