Update on my standard definition Star Trek Into Darkness Special Edition:
STID Special Edition Version 1.5 is here! I've taken the suggestions people had from my first fan preservation of the bonus material, and I've reauthorized the DVDs in an improved format. It's now a 3-disc edition (called “1.5” because Disc 3 HASN'T been changed and is still the same content as the original Disc 2). However, the new version features the theatrical version of the movie on Disc 1 (complete with multiple language tracks and subtitles), the *newly recovered* Deleted/Extended scenes and iTunes Enhanced Commentary version of the movie on Disc 2, and all the remaining bonus material (behind the scenes featurettes from the Blu-Ray, trailers, internet parodies, etc.) on Disc 3.
I've tested the DVDs on a 28” inch TV, and the quality is MUCH better than the previous release, which had both versions of the movie squeezed unto a 4.35GB disc. However, it's still STANDARD DEFINITION ONLY, so if anyone wants to see this stuff on a regular DVD, feel free to PM about it.
(PLEASE NOTE: I've gotten several PMs asking for these featurettes in High Def, or asking for the movie with unusual foreign language subtitles like Russian, Slovak, etc. – I DON'T HAVE ANY OF THAT CONTENT. 95% of my source material was standard def and the DVD contents are from the standard region 1 North American release, so the subtitles are in English, French, and Spanish, and they're ONLY available on Disc 1. I do NOT have the capability to create switchable subtitles on my DVD authoring software!)
To those who traded with me for the initial release, I will be happy to offer you an “upgrade” to Version 1.5 for free. For others, PM me and I'm sure we can work something out, whether or not you have something to trade. Unfortunately I will be very busy and out of town for the next week or so, but I should have more free time after March 20.
Here is a complete list of the contents you will find on the three discs:
