How much more superior is it going to look compared to the uhd?
It won’t look better, it’ll just be a more faithful to how the print looks (virtually identical to the print if you were making a 4K DCP from the scan and projecting it in a cinema).
You should really let TGR97 respond to this.
I agree, I don’t remember those X-Files DVDs as being very good visually. Another issue with The X-Files is the amount of 90s effects that weren’t very good to begin with. Upscaling those could introduce tons of aliasing and other problems. I think I have a DVD set around here somewhere and I’ll check out S2 at some point to see if my gear can do anything with it.
Millennium Season 1 has been upscaled, encoded and is in the ‘done’ pile. Beginning work on Season 2 next week!
Some of THE X-FILES DVDs had some weird compression but would be neat to have the OAR, including original font, which the BDs use a weird aspect ratio and NOT the original font. I own all 9 OG seasons of THE X-FILES on BD, but it’s weird that 20th Century FOX/TV used the film frame and not matched to TV ratio.
Excellent news regarding MILLENIUM Season 1 and the great upscaler you’re using!
Ever considered The Lone Gunmen and Harsh Realm for upscaling?
35mm scan project for both 1080p and 4K would be better than any upscaling effort.
They haven’t scanned JP1 yet, but it’s being scanned in a very different way to much higher quality. That said Retrofilm looks like they’ve improved the quality of their scanner based on that clip which is wonderful, it’s also a real-time scanner so it scans very fast compared with how these ones are being scanned.
How much more superior is it going to look compared to the uhd?
That’s a far older transfer and only worth it for the bonus features. The 35mm will be much superior overall. 4K HDR10 or whichever soon, eventually.
I wish. Would really like to see 4K 35mm scans of this and HIGHLANDER III.
Why not a 35mm print for 4K scanning instead of whichever? Again, same shit repeated incessantly from other threads…
Movie-Censorship exists.
Thanks so much! I have been working on my upscale technique for several years, each source requires a different approach but I try VERY hard to lower DNR as much as possible to keep the upscale from looking like plastic. These were mostly shot on film and that grain needs to be there.
Again, thanks for the kind words. I’ve got several projects in the works so stay tuned!
Film grain is heavily preferred! Majority of fan restorations need to realize this, especially upscales, instead of making everything plastic waxy garbage. Would another of those projects be Harsh Realm or The Lone Gunmen? Because Chris Carter TV Shows.
The upscale appears great and I don’t see any excessive DNR as some people who use upscaling for other projects.
Is this still available for download? If so, I’d love to get a copy of it.
Thanks in advance.
Special Longer Version is available officially without any ugly unneeded upscaling laziness.

This project is DEAD.
I’d rather donate to a project regarding ALIENS.
There’s an already a scan for aliens
If this is true, I’d love to be pointed in the right direction.
Same, if it even exists.
I only have the USA DVDs of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. AND I had no clue about this either. Is it the same on the ANGEL DVDs? I haven’t checked in awhile.
I’ve the full series of both on DVD.

Back to the Future sort of counts but that was only on Home Video versions aka VHS, not the cinema release.The Godfather trilogy 4K changes:
The Godfather:
-all optical texts digitally recreated, they’re mostly identical but still look a bit different (however what’s nice is the original Paramount logo was restored to the end, for the first time since VHS)The Godfather Part II:
-all optical texts digitally recreated, they’re mostly identical but still look a bit different, however the opening “A Paramount Picture” credit is changed entirely to a different font and says “Paramount Pictures Presents” (however what’s nice is at least the original Paramount logo is restored to the end for the first time since the 2001 DVD)
-The 4K version shortens a shot that was meant to be a reel change and intentionally was extended by two seconds or so to accommodate but for reasons the reel change was moved somewhere else and the 2 seconds were left in, they appeared on every past home video release including the 2007 BD, but they were taken out for the 4K version
https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=311098The Godfather Part III:
-recut twice for home video, initially for the 1991 VHS as the “final director’s cut”, where it was extended from 162 minutes to 170 minutes, all home video releases before the 4K were based off of this cut
-the second recut was done in 2020 and retitled to “The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone”, it’s the shortest running at 157 minutes and has some portions re-arranged as well
https://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=610 (comparison between the theatrical and 1991 cut though note that this is in German and despite the TV broadcast being based off of the theatrical cut, is still cut for violence and such)
https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=785871 (comparison between the 1991 cut and Coda)the theatrical cut never got a home video release until it was released as a bonus feature alongside the 1991 cut on the 4K set
I really don’t need any of that. Just links, i.e. movie-censorship, to add to the films on the Letterboxd list. I’m streamlining this. Also will add The Saga Cut to the links for The GodFather Parts I & II.
I WILL add the links, of course. Thanks!Can you at least add for the theatrical and 1991 cut comparison that it’s in German and the broadcast despite being based off of the theatrical cut is still edited for violence and such?
Yup!
I appreciate the extra effort put in to posts other than just a link to another site. 😉
Corrected your typo. I would but this isn’t Blu-ray.com. This forum doesn’t even have the proper tools to do what I’d even want to do anyway. I did put the link to the original thread in the first post so text references are there, albiet it has some out of date information.
Letterboxd is fine, especially with how I have the List linked.
AND how was I able to double quote when this forum doesn’t have the feature? Copy pasting.

$69 USD was from May through July. This month I donated $26 USD. Glad to have donated $95 USD total.
Most excellent!
Are there any fan edits of the Original Trilogy and Prequel Trilogy where it’s solely Extended Editions instead of wonky as fuck alternate edits?
check out Bobson Dugnutt at fanedit.org for several
Noice!
I made a new thread, but streamlined it heavily for the first post.
https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Films-with-alternate-OFFICIAL-releases/id/97256/page/1
You want to preserve THE ONLY 100% PURE and 100% PRISTINE EXISTING versions of The Evil Dead (1981) ???
There are The THX APPROVED and CERTIFIED Widescreen and Full-Frame DEFINITIVE versions included EXCLUSIVELY in The ULTIMATE Edition DVD.
THE ULTIMATE PRINT.
THE SUPREME TRANSFER.You will NEVER get ANYTHING BETTER than that, because NOTHING BETTER EXISTS.
(stop your lies, goodbye, scammers)
You do realize that prints of Evil Dead BEFORE edits were done exist right? Also who said anyone was scamming? Stop acting like a crazy person
But, they’re already a crazy person.
I have that Ultimate Edition DVD set, even have the 4K release too, and it’d be damn awesome to see a 35mm scan, in 4K of course! Because it’s the raw cinema version, and before all the zany edits. Better than a preservation of one of the Laserdiscs, IMO. UNLESS if a Laserdisc has exclusive bonus features or alternately interesting color timing.
I know this is an old thread but is anyone interested in seeing the original Halloween preserved in 35mm? Might have a lead but need donors.
You ought to make a new thread for a preservation of a 35mm scan. (Hopefully 4K is a priority because 1080p is old news…) Would be an excellent disc, if it were so, to replace this woefully ancient and obsolete project.
I bet I still have this spoRv BD25 on a spindle somewhere…
Sorry about that.
It’s cool! I searched and Fantasia doesn’t seem to have alternate cuts/etc. listed. So perhaps a different site is needed which illustrates the differences.
Even though certain films may be bombarded with links in the Letterboxd list, would be best to have them where it ought to be.
Where are the updates?!
Fantasia has had various versions throughout the years. The original roadshow cut was trimmed down for general audiences. It was the widely available version until 2000 when the longer cut was recreated with some alterations.
All I need are the titles, movie-censorship links, and maybe even more links. Not going to make it a long winded first post as the other user had. Tanks berry much.
Starting a new thread from https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Info-Films-re-released-with-alterations/id/50111/page/1
The link below will have the titles with links to movie-censorship, etc., detailing any different cuts, and will be constantly updated. Titles would be welcome. Most obvious inclusions are the STAR WARS OG Original Trilogy, and Prequel Trilogy.
https://letterboxd.com/admiralnoodles/list/films-with-official-alternate-cuts/detail/
I want a fan restoration of Executive Decision (1996) that is the theatrical cut in Blu-ray quality. Currently, the theatrical cut only exists in the standard-definition DVD and laserdisc format. If someone were to splice the scenes from the DVD/laserdisc version that are missing from the Blu-ray, and use software to upscale the missing scenes to 1080p quality with color correction/sharpening, that would be great. The closest already existing example I can compare this to is the uncut upscale of Scream (1996) where someone spliced the uncut scenes from the laserdisc to the cut version of the Blu-ray.
Why not a preservation of a 35mm film print for Executive Decision instead of this unneeded upscaled shit?
For me it’d probably be random Extended Editions aka Longer Cuts of films, not fan edits. The list is as such:
ALIEN
DUNE (1984)
IT (Chapter One and Two more similar to the book with tons of deleted scenes and exclusive bonus features.)
KILL BILL (Whole Bloody Affair)
PROMETHEUS
SCREAM 1 (1996)
STAR WARS
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
RETURN OF THE JEDI
SUPERMAN II
SUPERMAN III
SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE
THE TERMINATOR
And MORE!
