This is going to be a much easier job, I think, than my "TV Trilogy" project, so I'm going to give it priority. As soon as I have the Donner Cut, which I will either buy or source through one or two of my friends, I can start work on this edit in earnest.
OK, so here's my current standing:
1. I will restore the studio bumper from Superman 1 - Superman 2 got plastered twice, the DVD has the CG Shield. I would rather use the flying W than the matte shield.
2. Every scene from the RIC which I can find, either among Superman 1 Donner Cut, Superman 2 Donner Cut or Superman 2 Theatrical Cut, I will extract and put into its place. - Anyone got a better tool for hacking on mpegs than avidemux? Perhaps, one in which I can drop a vob into the timeline at any I-frame, instead of only at the end? (I use Linux but many Windows programs work fine here. If not, well, I do have Windows XP.)
3. I am not sure what to do if I find stuff I can't restore. I may have to leave it out; the difference between a high quality DVD 2.35:1 and an old 4:3 VHS, converted from NTSC to PAL and back, will be too jarring.
This will be my first attempt to do an edit from VOB rather than AVI.
