Has there ever been a preservation of Indiana Jones on VHS or Laserdisc project?

I’m very interested in the pre Lowry video masters. Even tv broadcasts.

The Letterbox THX VHS tapes, The letterbox Laserdisc US discs.

I would also be interested in this project. Lowry masters always leave a lot to be desired.

Over on the 4K77 forums, Williarob digitized the US Letterbox LD trilogy as well as Fullscreen versions of Raiders and Temple.

He’s seemed to removed all non-Star Wars content over there.

I found a not so good taping of Raiders off TV From Victoria BC from Archive.org And i also found captures of the trilogy from VHS just not the THX tapes. No Laserdisc preservations.

The Trilogy tapes appear to be from the period when Young Indy was on tv because the advert at the beginning of them is for that series. So they aren’t first issue but they also aren’t the THX tapes.

While i was there i also found a superior recording of Warriors of the Wind, from UK Pal tape source. And the 2001 Japan DVD of Transformers the movie with the Japanese Dub. No subtitles and no English track. I didn’t save the link for Transformers because its the same audio as the laserdisc in mono and lossy and its a rip so even worse quality. Its non restored.

I would possibly be more interested in a conservation of the 35mm of the last crusade etc.

I can’t speak for 35mm scans of Temple of Doom or Last Crusade. I know there were a couple of projects But i’m not the person to ask. I assume they were archived and not released.

I wish i had gotten the HD scan of Making of Raiders before it was taken down. I wish i had gotten the laserdisc preservations. I understand why they were taken off. to not get Disney’s ire.
