Fantastic Four (2005) - Extended Cut in HD

Would love this as well. In the beginning, it was a downloadable iTunes Extra. Now, it’s only a streaming iTunes Extra.

Trust me… it’s not in the wild. If someone is willing to grab the iTunes extra, I’ll pay for it

I’ve been meaning to do my own edit of this. I have the mpeg-4 blu-ray disc release and was going to cut in the itunes version where necessary.

If you decide to do that, I would GLADLY offer to preview any editions for you and give feedback.

Did anyone ever do this? I bought the movie on iTunes and have been trying to record it with OBS but the recording comes out choppy. I’ve tried to record in various frame rates and they turn out choppy. Any help with that would be appreciated?

How are you able to get to this from your iTunes purchase? When Apple originally offered this as an iTunes Extra when buying the main film, it was a separate download. However, after some time, they made it streaming only (but if you had bought it prior to that cutoff date, it would still be a downloadable file for you).

Which avenue is the one you are using? (although I suspect it’s streaming from your post

Yeah, I’m streaming it.

I have the DVD burned as an ISO file, but when I try to do an upscale burn to an MKV it always stops at the 50 minute mark.

I’d love to find a way to get an HD copy of this though. Loved the EE of this movie.

Disney has been putting some of their films on other platforms lately. Apparently HBO Max had the extended version of Fantastic Four in 2020. That’s the only way unless Apple let’s people download the special features instead of just the main film. https://comicbook.com/movies/amp/news/fantastic-four-extended-edition-coming-to-hbo-max/

Is the extended cut still on MAX (formerly HBO Max)?

I can’t find it on the UK version. Shame, I’ve been trying to find extended versions of all the 2000s pre-MCU films where they exist.

If you still have access to the HD version of the extended cut I could try to help rip it with OBS

I’m very late to finding this thread but if you’re recording with OBS as a last resort, I would recommend using 60FPS. Mismatched framerates get less noticeable at higher framerates. I also think you might be able to use mpdecimate to get rid of the duplicate frames, though I haven’t tried it myself.

Also you need a decent GPU/CPU to handle the encoding. Your build not being good enough for high quality recording might be a reason for the choppiness.

I have been dying to find this. Any help I can offer to get a good HD copy, I’m down.

I tried making an iTunes account to grab it but it wouldn’t let me for some reason

DZ-330 said:

Is it still available to purchase as an extra on iTunes though?

Yes

DZ-330 said:

How can we get it off iTunes? I can help cover the cost.

OBS could work then do some touch ups in premiere. You have to purchase it to get the extras. Renting only lets you watch the theatrical

I’ve never used OBS and am not familiar with ripping it from the stream. I’d need some kind of guide to help and I could share it here unless someone else wants to give it a shot.

I sent you a pm. I could try to help
