Right now, Mary Poppins - Lion King - Aladdin - Beauty and the Beast - can't remember if there's anything else they screwed with in the DVD era. Is there an OAR Fox and the Hound on laser? And if any of the lasers have the original RKO bumpers, for movies that had them, I might need to look into some of them. (The DVDs of Peter Pan and Alice have them.)

So what is the aspect ratio of Mary Poppins? Are there any screenshot comparisons. I don't remember seeing anything about it on ultimate disney. Would the widescreen BatB laserdisc really go for less than 10?
So you're looking for a Song of the South dvd that is still in Pal? Because I thought someone here already got an untouched source (2 actually) and ran into trouble trying to convert it to NTSC.
What about preserving the original dvd of the Jungle Book since the new one is cropped to widescreen? This also applies to Robin Hood and Aristocats but the earlier versions of those are much easier to find.
One last thing, the original english dubs for Studio Ghibli on My Neighbor Totoro, Laputa: Castle in the Sky and I think Kiki's Delivery Service?

The AR of Mary Poppins is reported to be 1.66:1.
I *bought* the WS LD for BatB for less than $10 including shipping but I haven't gotten it yet.
Also in my plans, though I'm not really going to bring that up here.

If it's converted by speedup, then it's easy enough. If telecine...it's harder. Though I might be able to go through my contacts on IRC and find *someone* who can pull up a 24:25.

I have OGMs of the first two; they're on DVD in Japan. There's also one for Porco Rosso, I believe, and I don't have that. Kiki's R2 has the Disney dub (don't ask).

Well, looks like there's a LD of that, just in case...

The Japanese DVD of My Neighbor Totoro has the old dub, with "dubtitles", and the original Japanese audio, and is "gutterboxed" (I think it's anamorphic, can't remember).
And I've heard the same thing about Kiki. Stupid unobtanium. Didn't even make it to laser?

EDIT: Confirmed - it's a 4:3 source, NTSC native, and all the credits are in English. The audio is Japanese. I can use this video source, if no better ones turn up.

There seems to be a lot of VHS-like color noise on some parts of my capture but it could be because in a rush to hook up my system I plugged in the first video cable I could find (read: the worst video cable I could find).

I suppose settops have fixed brightness and contrast levels?
drf seemed to like his videos dark, can't imagine why (he's prolly never seen them any other way - he was too young to catch any of the movies in the theater.). He actually thought the DVD of Aladdin was way too bright merely because it didn't look as dark and dull as his VHS.
I'm uploading untouched sample clips from his VHS and my LD.
EDIT: Here they are 263 MB contains comparable samples from both rips (2:21 each)

My plan is to create a barebones version, cleaned up a bit, scaled up to a 5:3 Anamorphic Widescreen (as opposed to 5:3 letterbox of the original), with the 2.0 ac3 from the settop.
What drf will probably do is take the R1, strip out the alternate versions, and replace the video track with my rip - dunno how well he'd be able to pull it off, though.

This is a little bit of a cobjob but it's a first try.
