The AMC version was broadcast in 5.1, so I DO have a 5.1 track for all the extra scenes.  Unfortunately, the only 1080p rip I know of is also in stereo, hence my doing the entire thing in 720p and 5.1 for consistency.  I can make another thread if you think that'd be better, but there is a difference in my version and a preservation.  This version will not be exactly like the Saga or Trilogy edits.  It will place the Don Ciccio assassination where it belongs chronologically like in the Saga, and incorporate a few scenes exclusive to that version, but it will not contain the TV-style openings and closings of the parts of the Saga, and it will contain all the things edited out of the Saga that were in the theatrical versions.  I'm not doing this to "interest" people.  I'm doing it because I'd like it done.


Then why post about it? *shrug*

 i looked into doing this project myself a little while back and the problem with the amc footage is not just that it is censored and has the watermark, but also numerous advertisements are played on screen which unfortunately happens during some of the extended scenes, which makes it impossible to remove it unless it is somehow photo shopped out. I would recommend using ModernKnifes version of the saga as a template because it includes footage that amc never restored, although in low quality, it still should be included for a sake of completion.

If it's a translucent logo there's the option of using EraseLogo, if you can figure out aviutl...

Was this 5.1 mix created from separate elements or is it just an up-mix from the 1.0?

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

New problem.  Does anyone have the .ass (or .ssa) subtitle file (subtitle track 6 on the US version) from the blu-ray for just the Italian (non-English) parts that they could upload?  I need this for Part I and for Part II.

I'm SURE it was just an up-mix, considering 1 & 2 were an upmix. I don't think they ever went back to the original stems, or had them available.

Godfather Saga AMC in HD is released 3 long years ago,
and looks like no one have intention to make uncensored version.

Use AMC and import scenes from Blu-Ray, or opposite.
And maybe 5.1 track (DTS)
Without GFIII
Release as Blu-Ray.

That can be best chronological version in best quality for a long long time.

The AMC logo makes this significantly more difficult than it seems to be.

Hi New Member here.

Is the godfather available in chronological order. If so where and under what name or title.

Better yet any working links?

Thanks

 I would love to see your footage, how do we get this movie. It doesn't have to be free either, just direct me somehow...All supposed download sites and links are no longer active or reliable...

All the scenes from the AMC HD extended version of the film are now inserted back into the film. The quality is in full hd and sourced for the Coppola restored blu ray with full 5.1 surround. This is the first time these scenes have been edited back into the original film in a full hd cut.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Full HD, Full 5.1 surround..?....

Your intention to make extended edition is excellent.
But in deleted scenes audio goes out of sync, bitrate is too low...

HBO is airing the Epic in HD, starting on the 17th. Looks like I’m going to completely re-cap the whole thing 😃

If it’s on a channel like HBO, then does that mean it will be uncut, like the home video releases of Epic but also in widescreen? Only time will tell but I can’t wait to find out. Please, please, cap this!

According to info from HBO:

R: Adult Content, Brief Nudity, Graphic Language, Graphic Violence 😃 Uncensored.

This can be extended Epic release - new cut. 😃

Wow, this is just incredible. Commercial-free, in HD, no AMC logo, AND uncensored? Just fantastic news! I’ve been waiting for this since buying the “Trilogy 1901-1980” laserdisc years ago.

AWESOME! Any chance you could post your capture of the HBO broadcast on the spleen? I’m SO excited about this. An HD version without the AMC logo and without commercials?! HEAVEN.

We’ll figure out where I’ll post it. I’ll completely re-do that entire 2 disc set again.

Looks like that’s the only airing. On my DVR I had to record HBO itself for the 6:05. Thanks for the heads up. 😄
