Have FOTR & ROTK 1080p/2160p. Also have FOTR BluRay ISO.
TTT 1080p preview hopefully coming soon.

SnooPac, why is the FOTR BluRay ISO you sent me copy-protected? It is impossible to play it.

Even if I remove the AACS protection with DVDFab I can’t play the disc properly either. As a sample, this shot from the movie where Elrond appears:

This way you can see the whole movie

Sounds like a Bad Rip

How are you playing it?

I just tried it in Leawo Blu-ray Player:

isomenu

isovideo

Did you grab all the rar files and extract them to 1 complete ~37gb file with WinRAR or 7z or alternative?

Nice to have an alternative to the “4k”-version officially released. Thanks a lot, and if you are open for donations for the third project, I will donate.
Am I right that tone mapping should be hable?

When a film is professionally scanned in 16-bit color as DPX image files, every single frame weighs in at 100 MB. With upwards of 175,000 frames in each film, a complete scan requires about 21 TB of storage (42 TB if you want a backup copy! And then you need at least another 21 TB of space to work on it – over $1000 just in hard drives is therefore required for every film). Having the film cleaned prior to scanning costs another $870 (plus about $75 shipping each way) and then the scanning costs between $2000 and $15,000, depending on where you send it.

Now, I would very much like some information on the scanning process of these films and the machinery used and whether or not they where cleaned up. Cheers!

I’d love to download these, as well as donate if it would help get The Two Towers scanned and restored.

I don’t know where you’re pulling all those prices from and numbers from, but they’re not accurate anymore (or they at least are not representative of competitive commercial rates and storage options). The price of cleaning varies wildly depending on where you go, and your weirdly specific price of $870 would equate to .054/ft if we’re talking 178 minutes of 35mm 4-perf. I know where to go for a much better rate than that.

Yes if you’re scanning 6K DPX 16-bit it’s over 100 MB per frame (around 125MB per frame I think), but that should not be necessary unless you’re dealing with very badly faded film. Backups should go on LTO-7 or LTO-8 tape (or even LTO-9 now) not on Hard Drives.

Hi. Yes, the new scan of TTT is complete. 1080p and 2160p versions available, like the other movies.
Note also that there’s a new encode of ROTK 2160p (there were reports of encoding/compression issues with the initial release some months ago).

You can PM me if you’d like a copy of any of them (or any of the other releases).

Also reminder, these are not my prints, I can’t claim any credit for the scanning & real effort. I’m just helping to make them available. You can thank @elendil42 and others for making this happen.

The 1080p of ROTK still has compression issues, though…

Thanks for the heads-up.
Due to it, there’s now also a new 1080p ROTK v1.2 available.

My apologies for taking so long to reply. I have discovered why I see the movie that way. This is due to the codec used for Blu-ray encoding, VC-1 instead of AVC. The same thing happens to me with all Blu-ray discs with VC-1 codec.

I see that TTT and ROTK are now available. Will a Blu-ray version of TTT and ROTK ever be released or only FOTR?

No problem. Glad it’s working.

There’s a bluray iso version of TTT, but it’s different. It’s just the movie, no menus or special features. Its not really available yet, but it could be if you are interested.

I would be delighted if we could have a bluray ISO version with menus, just like FOTR, for the complete trilogy. If I can help in any way let me know and I’ll do my best.

FOTR menus are very nice, I really like them. Maybe we can adapt it a little bit by modifying some things to get 3 similar bluray discs for these 3 masterpieces.

I just send you a private message regarding Fellowship of the Ring. I think there is something peculiar on the metadata that might be worth checking out. I could be wrong.
