Would it be possible to replace the bad frames with the laserdisc source? If that would take you way too much time, I understand completely. But could that work?

Now you have an extra frame every second. On movement it becomes noticeable.
Well out of all the tests, the original Restore24 version was the closest to not sucking so much... but even then if you are sensitive, motion may seem unnatural.
At the moment I'm considering giving up on this (which I don't want to after spending so much time with hit.)
The previously posted (sharpened) clip used restore24, but because there's not a lot of movement you can't see the problem.
If you step through it you might.
Arrrgggghhh!I guess there's always the header trick, but that doesn't work on all stand alones.

Is a mostly good copy of this better than what we have already?
The best quality I've gotten to date is with restore24. The video would look like the previously posted clip but less sharp (and less noisy).
During some motion you might notice a small skip, but truthfully I've seen worse releases.
It's below my usual standard (which is why I would prefer to give up), but I'm also considering what versions exist of this movie, and this could be the best it looks for a long time.

If you really feel that it is that much lower than your usual standard, release it under a different name. That way, you distance yourself from the project. This is the best for everyone since people can decide which version they like best and you don't have to worry about "sullying your quality standards."

Ok, now we need a name.
The Brear Editors?
The real bummer is I completely dismissed the first encoding I made... which was 3+ hours of filtering to a lossless format than another 4-5 hrs on CCE.

I had a 16mm print of SOTS transferred to avi, but it needs major cleanup work and color correction - way beyond the scope of what I can do with it.
Always seems that a nice version of the film is always so close.

Somehow, I think somebody's gonna want to take a look at that.
Screenshots, please.

If the restore 24 gives a better result than anything previously (PAL vhs, laserdisc, sing-a-long dvd's) available, by all means release it even if it isn't as good as hoped. I've never seen the film but I want to get a copy soon. Who knows, someone else might be able to improve the quality further.

I really hope you haven't given up, Doctor M. To answer your question, for me, ANY copy is better than what I have. Because I have
never seen the film apart from the 3 sing-a-long excerpts. (Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, Everybody has a Lauging Place, and How Do you Do)
So I don't care if it doesn't look that good. I just want a watchable NTSC version. It's sad really that it has been easier for me (and others) to get the Star Wars Holiday Special. (I'm not just talking about this site, I mean from anything.) In fact I'm starting to wonder if more people have seen the special than Song of the South.
I know there was also hope of adding a lot of extra features on a second disc but at this point I'd be happy with just the movie. If there was a burned dvd made, I'd be happy to take whatever is out there now.

I went through the movie, I think it looks better than the current versions of SOTS that are available.

I'm just as guilty of the slow down, it took me forever to finish with the restoration and mail it on.
But relax, it will eventually arrive, the material does exist.

The first disc is almost done, I just need to mess with the subtitles. The menus are also very jumpy, so I'm going to investigate that.
As for disc two, all the special features are put together, except for encoding some audio tracks. I was given alot of versions of the film's songs, and I'm on the fence about putting them all on the bonus disc. Also if anyone has some suggestions as to programs to do multiple encodings from MP3 to .ac3 that would help me tremendously (ffmpeg is not encoding some tracks completely, and BeSweet gives me wacky results when it actually does work for me).
Here's a breakdown of the discs:
Disc One - Feature Film
Disc Two - Trailers, TV Spots, etc. | Sing-a-Longs | 3 Audio Galleries (could change) | 3 Photo Galleries | Splash Mountain Material

I don't think so. Just another site making money by selling bootlegs.

You wouldn't happen to still have that original 16mm print, would you?

Actually, things are looking pretty good right now for "Song of the South" to finally be released on DVD in late 2008 / early 2009. But not for the reasons you might think.
You see, what with DisneyToon Studios now becoming a non-sequel producing operation as well as Dick Cook's decision last year to significantly cut back on the number of movies Walt Disney Studios will release every year ... Well, that leaves Buena Vista Home Entertainment (Soon to be renamed Walt Disney Entertainment) with significantly fewer titles to put out on store shelves in the coming year. And given that BVHE will still be expected to make its numbers ... Well, that means that they're going to have to release something that the public really wants to get its hands on. And that, my friends, is "Song of the South."

I just checked the files on my drive and noticed they are dated nearly a year ago (ok next week is 1 year).
Since this group effort idea has gone quite wrong, are there any objections to a menu-less, movie only release?
If nothing else I'd love to get the files off my hard drive once and for all.
