I honestly never thought I would see this happen!!
And you quite possibly may still never see it.
No, I mean, I never thought I would see a HD version in the correct aspect ratio!
A physical media disc would be awesome, but a HD stream… will do for now!
So apparently you live in the UK. Good for you.

Another year goes by with nothing. I know this wasn’t a scam, but it sure feels like one at this point. Have any sample frames of the better print been shared? I don’t want to be mean, but I am upset at this point. Timetable is part of the reason why I donated. I wouldn’t have donated to a “maybe we’ll have something in a decade” kind of project. I know real people have real lives, but I don’t think it’s okay to be ghosting the donors about what’s going on. It’s been 7 1/2 years at this point - coupled with no communication, it’s really hard to feel good about my donation.
Very much agree with this take. People gave money with the idea that something would come to fruition, eventually, and that we were helping to preserve an important film. But here we are approaching what, ~8-9 years with nothing to show for it? And to add insult to injury we get continued radio silence from everyone involved. And yes, it’s been addressed multiple times over the years as to why this was/is the case. I can understand and empathize with the health-related issues——we all have our burdens——but that really should have been addressed back then when it was clear the project was in jeopardy; someone should have taken over the project, or at the very least people should have reached out for help within the community.
And now we are put into the position of keeping quiet indefinitely, because if we do “complain” or say anything critical then we are insensitive jerks who don’t care. That’s really not fair to those of us who just wanted to help this project succeed. I think at this point the money that was donated should be returned. The mods need to take action at this point, whatever that entails, otherwise it really does feel like this was some kind of crowd-funded scam.
Then PM the mods and the original poster…

Soooo looking forward to this. My second favorite movie of all time after what’s in my avatar of course.
Wait, did I miss something? Is this project no longer being done?

Again, please someone explain why they like this movie. It’s by far the most boring movie I’ve ever seen.
So I guess this project is dead, since there hasn’t been an update in 2 years.
Did you try sending a PM to the original poster?
“I remember around that time there were some HDTV version circulating that didn’t have the DNR but they seem impossible to find these days.”
Not impossible. I believe they’re still avaiable on Usenet and Rutracker.
This sounds great. Please send me the link.
Thanks!

All Jim Cameron’s movies are getting 4K releases over the next months, including A L I E N S and True Lies… And extended cuts of Avatar https://thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents/111523-0659
Hopefully 1080p also for us non-4K people.
Thanks stretch009. I don’t even have this edit anymore, great that you seem to. I did find a wacky version from December 2012 with some really bad Boba Fett fan movie footage added to the Endor section. But I don’t think that’s the “final” version - albeit this edit wasn’t ever really finished.
Yep, I have one with Boba Fett dated June 2013 and without Boba Fett dated August 2013.

Ooops, you already sent it. Thank you very much!
" let it run overnight,"
It takes about 1 minute for me to download. Please send me the link. 😃
“All, I now have a final 2D version of TOD Ultimate for a while.”
Is it the same link as before? (Gdrive,12.1 GB, “Temple Of Doom Ultrimate.mp4”)
Only have v2. Where might I procure v3 which isn’t hosted on MySpleen?
Ummmm… V2 and V3 are on Myspleen. I should know since I’m the uploader.
Hi,
Please send me the link to your Empire Strikes Back edit. Thanks!
Ten or so years ago I read that Panasonic from Japan were the best BD50’s. They’ve been great for me. I don’t see why they would be any different now.

I’ve been using rutracker for about 12 years and in a big way. Today something very unusual happened in that I couldn’t connect to the site despite it not being down. I was able to connect, however, with my VPN using a few random regions. This is the first time, I believe, that I had to use a VPN just to connect to rutracker. Is my IP address somehow being blocked? For now I can use my VPN of course to connect but it’s a bit disconcerting.
Edit: Now I can’t even connect with a VPN despite the fact websites are saying rutracker isn’t down.
