Once you buy and download it through iTunes, you can use a DRM removal tool like TunesKit, and then you’ll have a workable m4v file to do with as you please.
Tuneskit no longer works. It also DEFINITELY never worked with 4k.
What DOES work?
On iTunes? Nothing, AFAIK. There’s no way around their DRM.

Why do you not think it’s better? D+77 is the awful grain wiped Disney plus version intertwined with a DNRed 4k77. 4k77 was sourced from a beautiful IB technicolor print and does not have the DNR.
I’m not a fan of watching something where the grain is so thick I can chew it. I’ll take detail over grain any day.
I think 4K77 would blend with the VHS better at least.
A laserdisc would blend best.
I recommend using 4k77 instead of despecialized for the shots which were taken from a new hope.
or D+77
but 4k77 is better.
No it’s not.

They’re actually advertising on Instagram with pics.
Nice! Any chance you could upload?
FYI…I uploaded the original French edit from my archives to the spleen.
I got it years ago from a French TV station and it’s right from their archives. I have no idea if it’s better quality or not - I’ll let you guys figure that out.
Enjoy!
I did a quick-and-dirty screenshot comparison between the 720p Disney+ version with the DVD of Clone Wars.

Not drastic but there is a difference.
This is really interesting… you actually see slightly more of the picture in the Disney+ Version.
Yup. And less stretched.

Also, season 1 does not line up with the DVD so it’s a different master.

Genndy Wars was just released on Disney+ today. However, from my analysis, it is just a straight upload of the DVD version with no enhancements or upgrades.
It is not.
See the above screenshot.
Also, the audio for season 1 does not line up. It’s a different master.

Thanks for updating this. I love this demo so very much.
A couple of things, though.
It really would be awesome if you used true 4k sources once Indy comes out this summer. I know it’s heresy to say but I’m not a fan of using the scans unless absolutely necessary. There’s just so much more detail in the actual 4k scans.
We really should work on getting a scan of that THX trailer that ends the regular trailer. The one you used for the non-SE is nice but it’s definitely no replacement for the original.
Thanks again for doing this. Don’t want to come across as unappreciative!
In my experience upscaling is better left to your TV or media player. Keep the source at its original resolution. I’d recommend deinterlacing your video, but not upscaling.
Agreed. What is this obsession of up-scaling suddenly? It doesn’t help.
We have Howard the Duck coming in 4k…and still no Star Wars
I have them all (except for Gypsies…).
In fact, you used my notes to create this post. 😉
I found them on Wikipedia yes
I sent a PM
Yes. Those are my notes.

Have you checked discogs? I assume it’s not this one:

He told me he’s not making any money off of this and that’s been his line for years. I don’t remotely understand how that’s possible.
Has anyone created 1 “trilogy” artwork for the 4K+ versions? I’d love something to print out and put in my case with all 3 films in 1.
Is anyone backing this? I was really excited about it until I saw the prices. The bare minimum for just the (regular edition) book is $125, with the Special Edition $300. I missed out on Volume 1 and the only way to get both is by pledging $650.
Just insane. Dude has overcharged for his stuff for years, which is supremely disappointing. I’d love to back it and I’m a collector of books but this is ridiculous.
Such sad news.
One thing that I, selfishly, immediately thought about was a conversation I had with him that was, I believe, sent through PM on facebook. He has videotape copies of the SW workprint in his storage. Not sure if it’s B&W or what but he said he had it.
I wonder what is going to happen to his archives now.
And I was selfishly thinking about his upcoming Bob Penn ALIEN book.
By “SW workprint” you mean he has/had videotape copies of “The Lost Cut”?
Correct.

I managed to discover earlier TV airings are based off of the theatrical version, however it still has some edits regarding violence and swearing, but that does make somewhat of a preservation easier
It’s a super easy preservation. It’s just the two scenes that were added, IIRC.
