Hey guys, I used cms382's Laserdisc screenshots to compare three versions of The Jungle Book.

I tried to get the exact same frame.

Left: 1992 LD / Center: 1999 Limited Issue DVD / Right: 2014 BD

Also made THIS gif showing the diferences (principally the framing) between the Cinderella 1995 LD and the BD

Great additions, the middle one is really bland looking.

VirtualDub seems to have forgotten to handle external encoders between yesterday and today, even with the exact same parameters.

Do you guys know if there has ever been a 1080(i or p) version of "Return of Jafar"? I know there was a 720p version on Cinemagic once and "Aladding the the King of Thieves" got a 1080p version on Japanese TV. Of course all of those were cropped to widescreen, but it's still better than nothing (and I doubt there were ever HD versions of the 4:3 framing)

@Laserschwert - Sure, check TPB.  You'll probably want to strip the 3 Russian audio tracks.

Unfortunately the Russian release is hardly HD... looks more like SD upscaled to 1080, which looks even worse than the 720p versions out there.

 How far into the movie is that frame?

I'll check the 35mm print and see how it looks.

Blu-ray: 00:47:09

LD Rip by Molly: 00:47:07

btw, the captures: BD LD

Does anybody here have a print (35mm or 16mm) of TJB ? Might be a nice addition on our "to do" list.

Looks like it's the same master as the first LD ("1992 version"), but I don't think anyone here bought the film

I found a 16mm print of Fantasia (the price is "a little" expensive)

Hi, Jolemon, thanks for the links, but one of them is already a goner and the other lack information that the seller is not willing to or can't give (and I think that some of reels contains faded films). Keep both eyes open, thought, we all scavenge for good prints, as you can see, and also for good deals.

Hi, Poita. Could you please reduce the photo a little so we can see it in it's full frame ? BTW, Nice shot.

For TJB, I gess it was remasteres during the 1990's to fit with 16x9 TV screens, but seriously, I don't know, maybe it was even before that. The only thing we know, the frame ratio has been cut for all it's home video releases, as shown earlyer.

Thanks AntcuFaalb.

Much better than the BR and the Special Ed. DVD, at least. The colour aren't too much pumped, the contrast is ok, and the gamma doesn't choke the color timing.

When the work on this one (scanning) begins, please let us all know.
