I'll have to watch that last few frames again.

Probably since Universal wanted them to shoot another ending, they thought it would be funny to bring back the other cast members.

Thanks for the AOD EPK info. I think the R4 MGM has the Euro AOD trailer as it starts out w/ the AOD skulls & crossbones logo, IIRC.

Well, it's very easy to determine if the data has been altered, just compare the source and the extracted destination file. The best way to describe lossless audio compression is it's like ZIP for audio, but it compresses audio at a much better rate. I mean ZIP is lossless and you should trust that compression algorithm.

For lossless compression the audio data is still compressed, but when you uncompress the data is identical to the source. You can save 50% of file size by using APE. Since most people will get these files over the internet, half the time will be saved for everyone when using lossless compression.

You might want to consider FLAC as that seems to be the universal lossless audio format that's open source. I personally prefer APE (Monkey's Audio) as it compresses better, but some people seem to have difficulty locating the decoders on other platforms despite them being available.

Does any of the ED2 material contain the deleted scenes that are found on Elite Widescreen Special Edition LD?

The scenes are explained at the now defunct Plastic Iguana site:

Oh man, you are a dedicated Conan movie fan! I don't think I have watched Red Sonja completely.

BTW, I told my friend about your Leone edits. He's a huge Leone fan. I'll probably end up helping him get the files off of RS.

I almost grabbed your Re-Animator cut as well, but I decided not to as I have the extra scenes on the Elite re-release already. (I chose Conan the Destroyer instead.) Cheers!

I'm interested certainly. If someone was very serious about remastering Within The Woods and the early shorts I listed before I could likely track down the guy who got the tape from Scott Spiegel's assistant. The copies I have on VCD are taken from a dub of that tape.

Someone remastered Within The Woods on deadites.net many years ago. I think they used some MPEG source. It looked cleaner, but probably is more generated than the VCD I'm guessing.

The Conan the Destroyer Serious Edition came out pretty well for such a bubblegum film. Now the film is at least watchable.

Are you using only lossless audio sources for the compilation? Thanks.

Ah, didn't check the opening! Thanks. I was wondering about that scene.

(BTW, PM'ed you about the title.)

I watched this tonight, and I thought RidgeShark did a wonderful job. I didn't see a difference between the Overdose and Overdose With Original Formula.

Here's the info...

ARMY OF DARKNESS
Primitive Screwhead Edition

Created by Ridgeshark, this is the most complete version of Army of Darkness available.

Respect copyright! Only download this if you already own several other versions of Army of Darkness, legally. Do not pay money for this. Do not charge money for this.

This version includes both the alternate endings and alternate openings. It includes scenes seen only in the Sci-Fi channel version of the film, and scenes only seen as deleted scenes on the official discs, such as Ash fighting Arthur, Ash recruiting Henry the Red, the extended windmill scene, etc.

It also includes a new sound mix which includes some musical surprises from the great soundtrack by Joe Lo Duca (and Danny Elfman). Most notably the opening logos are different. You'll have to see.

The deleted scenes which appear in workprint quality have been cleaned up frame by frame as much as possible. They will never be perfect, but this is about as good as they're going to look and sound until better quality material is made available.

This is of course the third in the Evil Dead series of films directed by Sam Raimi and starring Bruce Campbell.

Best wishes, all.

I really like the windmill scene in his version too.

I have seen nearly all the versions out there except for the bootleg LD, which I wonder if it's the same as the Japanese version that I've seen. Anyway, I look forward to seeing this project. I hope it's the final version and that ocp had obtained permission.
