Anyway, here's a sneak preview divx of the original version and the new version of a scene. It's a zip file about 45 MB.
Metropolis
You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

There's really no way to do that properly on this scale. Short segments, such as credits in other languages, are possible, but these are really two completely different movies. Individual shots and scenes are rearranged and extended, not to mention that most of the restoration version is completely different takes. The best I can hope for is an approximation (although I am doing it at shot and frame level) of the Moroder cut. The longer version incorporating more of the restoration footage with more Moroder music I want to do is still a ways off. I can really sympathize with the X0 guys. Sometimes the demands of real life intrude on our hobbies. I'm nearing a milestone but I want to wait until I get there to announce it.
Love to hear of it if ever. I bothered buying the LD of this edition sometime ago and it still impresses me since the first time I saw it 14 years ago in a high school film class (had a teacher that felt that version was more effective).
Seamless branching works pretty well for the studios. I don't know how well it turns out on a home pc but the Blade Runner dvd is the latest example I can think of to use seamless branching.

I know this is off topic but I'm reminded of another movie from 1984 that featured music by Moroder: The Never Ending Story. Klaus Doldinger co-scored it. On the US soundtrack cd, Moroder's music was snyched up and different from the actual US version music. The remix on the soundtrack sounds terrible. The parts by Doldinger are intact and are brilliant. There is a German release cd but I believe that just has the Doldinger music. (Some music by Doldinger was replaced by Moroder in the US version) Are there any isolated tracks of Moroder's music from NES floating around. The biggest example is the Ivory Tower theme. You can hear the Doldinger music here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neXK5BEiXyw
To my knowledge, there is no version of the Moroder Ivory Tower theme as used in the US movie version out there. The one on the US cd was used in the trailer. I actually made one myself by recording the two scenes off the dvd and combining them to minimize dialog/sound effects. But there are a few parts that sound garbled and I don't have the ability to use any effects or filters.
So, again, I know it's not really related by anybody a fan of The Never Ending Story or know more about how the movie was scored?
