Looks like I'll either have to construct something, use stills from the movie... or maybe no menu.

The upshot is I had to come down several hundred kbps to fit the movie to the disc.
I'd rather not go to dual layer or compromise the video anymore than necessary.
That being said, I see no problem with someone building a second DVD of extras as a companion since I know there is a lot of cool stuff floating around out there.
Edit: I just got your PM. Ok, maybe I'LL be building a second disc.

Dr M - What program are you using for the menus?

I found a nice instrumental version of Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah that'll I'd use instead of the Splash Mountain music.
The menu is only planned to have 'About' and 'Play' so I'm actually considering scrapping the menu if I can't find a nice picture.

To save you the trouble of following the link, the poster ("unclejr") says:
The Hong Kong SOTS LD is the exact same film transfer as the UK PAL
VHS tape. In fact, if you press your pause button while playing your
DVD, you will see overlapping still fields -- a tell-tale sign of a
PAL-to-NTSC transfer. Also, the film runs a few minutes shorter than
the NTSC-mastered Japanese LD -- another indication that the HK LD is
a PAL-to-NTSC transfer.

Of course, the phrase that caught my attention here was "overlapping still fields"... Can it be that Disney themselves are the culprit here? Why would *their* PAL-to-NTSC be f-ed up unless their PAL master was bad? (In fact, why wouldn't they have done a new TC straight to NTSC?) Sounds like the 2006 BBC broadcast was from this same fatally-flawed master. If so, shame on Disney (well, *further* shame, anyway) - and I guess that puts the kibosh on the Doctor M's contention that there might be a "pretty decent looking NTSC telecined source floating around somewhere". (Sorry, Doctor M - just don't want you to have to be Indiana Jonesin' around the 'net looking for an artifact that's only a legend...)
Well, just tripped over that and thought I'd FYI - if it's "old news", so be it...
Just finished downing DrGonzo's up of Mentor's PAL cap from RS, and looking forward to Dr. M's NTSC. I know it's heartbreaking to have to "throw away" picture information, but you'll have to be content with having made any kind of silk purse from this sow's ear...

The filter used for cleanup is specifically designed to remove the merged fields that occur from an NTSC 29.97fps to 25fps PAL conversion and not the other way around.
The laserdisc transfer I have is indeed shorter than this new release. For whatever reason the source is obviously not a 24 frame film to 24 frame PAL telecine, hence the belief there was a 29.97 intermediate conversion.

Guess I'm just a little trigger-happy to blast Disney on any issue regarding this film...
Thanks for clarifying. I guess the prospect of Disney creating a sloppy NTSC LD from a PAL master that they themselves converted from NTSC is pretty remote, huh?

Since there was so much talk of a new official DVD release in the UK, perhaps this is the work that was done and they just decided to go to TV with it instead.

Perhaps it is too low of resolution to be of any use. Dr m already indicated the stills are too low of resolution. Therefore this post may be irrelevant!!

Here's a preview of two covers I've done a while back, but never posted online.
The first is a little different now than from that screenshot, all it needs is a list of specs to be typed on it. The treasures version was based on the one posted a couple of pages back, but done with a Treasures template I had made.

) Anyway, I always thought that the "Disney Classics" series was where this film belonged - hence the "frame spine" I added to the sleeve Doctor M posted above. (My "tweak" of a found artwork/sleeve...) When I came up with "VERY LIMITED ISSUE" (in small letters at the top of the "frame spine"), it gave me a chuckle...Of the two main artwork themes, I prefer the colorful one (from the UK VHS). Not that I like the color so much (it really isn't a good representation of the color in the film, to be sure!) but the kids look more like themselves in this image (except for Bobby Driscoll's hair looking blonde). I'm not even sure that was really Luana Patten in the "walking over the hill" picture; sure doesn't look like her...

There probably won't be one.
As far as a disc of extras, logistics are still being discussed.

I've done some snooping on the web, and all I've found is low-rez stuff as well.

Have you looked at these? Something might work for a menu.
It has probably been mentioned a dozen times for the extras disc, but there is that small scene from Fletch Lives! which would work there.
