Verrry doubtful. Every few weeks on AVS somebody claims to have somehow gotten a Blu-ray without the green tint. The difference is not in the video, it's in the viewer's ability to discern the problem. I'm nearly positive it's the same "difference" with the iTunes version.

Perhaps you are correct. I'm travelling, and won't have a chance to download and watch the iTunes version until next week. But as I'm very familiar with FOTR, and the green tint problem (which is very apparent to me), and rest assured if it's there I'll recognise it, I know what I'm looking for. And if it's not there, well so much the better. Anyway, I'll post caps here once I've downloaded it...though if someone else has the iTunes version, or first hand info on the colour timing, I'd love to hear about it before I buy.

I know there are HDTV caps of FOTR floating around w/o the awful green tint, and while the colours are warmer and seem to match the theatrical presentation, unfortunately the video quality looks to be nothing more than an upscale of the DVD. It's my favourite of the LOTR films, and I'd really love to see a corrected version of this, because I don't believe for a second this is intentional. I have no doubt Jackson wanted to change the colour timing, and even make it look more green, but someone along the production lines just f**ked this up and no one wants to admit it.
