Thought it might be useful to post a summary, seeing as this thread was started over two years ago.

Song of the South DVD versions

• Piratebay/mininova (superhappyfun?) version - sourced from Japanese laserdisc, has burned-in subtitles during the songs.

• “Coal Black Easter Egg” Version & Cyber-EFX version - both sourced from Hong Kong/Korean/Chinese LD or UK VHS, no-one knows exactly. No burned-in subtitles, but poor video quality. Small selection of extras.

• Mentor version - barebones DVD encode, sourced from DVB cap off BBC broadcast. Best picture quality, but some interlacing/blending issues with PAL conversion.

• Doctor M, JoeyO & Rowman 2-DVD release - disc one is the movie sourced from Mentor's DVD and restored to NTSC, disc two features a comprehensive selection of extras and special features.

I think these are the main versions out there, if I've got anything wrong, please post in this thread.

Thanks for this list, it's what I was looking for.

Is the Doctor M/JoeyO/Rowman version of the BBC broadcast available anywhere? I see the original Mentor release is available on myspleen, but I'd prefer it in NTSC. Thanks!
