Is there a certain site that is used to download from?
There is. It's called myspleen. Got a login?
999 U.S Dollars? In 24 hours? "That's impossible, even for a computer.".

There's a real DVD release for "Splash Too"? Buy it, rip it and upload it so I can enjoy it.

The dub on Snow White is unfortunately not the original swedish one, so I guess this TV-master can be dated back to '82 or '83 when the film received a new dub for the theatrical re-release here in Sweden. But I guess the color timing and animation work could be of interest as it predates the butchering on homevideo, am I right? Maybe this TV-special has seen a homevideo release?
An interesting sidenote, Walt Disney officially said that the then only 14 year old Tatjana Angelini who gave her voice to Snow White in the original 1938 swedish dub was his favorite voice of all incarnations of Snow White, even favoring her voice over the original American Adriana Caselotti's dub! I don't know if I agree but he was apparently pretty invested and hands-on with all dubbing work for their films back in the day. But I guess things like that doesn't matter any longer with the companys obsession nowadays with redubbing every track and remixing them to 5.1 or 7.1. As I know there are a few swedes around here, someone has posted a few clips on youtube with the original swedish dub, taken from a 70's print (unfortunately, only the audio is from the print):
I've seen the samples and I gotta say, while the voice-acting was mediocre at best (although I might be a little too familiar with the redub, but none the less), I'd really like see some kind of preservation of the entire movie with the original Swedish dub, just for completeness.

There is yet *another* different, shorter edit, and that is the Swedish version...but that's Swedish subtitled with English audio, so not as easily fixed. The only copy I have of that has terrible video quality - though it came from a first-generation videotape, it was in bad shape and barely playable.
I want to see that version as soon as possible.

BD: Both Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and mono sound is available on the 70th Anniversary Blu-ray. Mono is unavailable on the 75th Anniversary Blu-Ray. Mono is altered.
Thanks for pointing that out since I was gonna post that the 75th Anniversary BluRay has the mono not the DVD version.
IT DOES? How do you know that? I was under the impression that the 75th anniversary Blu-ray DIDN'T have mono. Also, according to this, there was a DVD release which did have mono, if not two.

I thought about doing a remastered version of the movie that would have most of the animation errors fixed, such as fixing mis-colored cells and layering errors, but that would be for a much later project.
That sounds like a job for Andrea (aka _,,,^..^,,,_).

I'm using a WD TV Live player which goes through my Pioneer AV receiver via HDMI... I have no problems with any of the files I'm using... either AC3 or DTS... but somehow I'm not getting the right sound layout from these MKV's...
The files are close to 7GB's each (from Piratebay)
Maybe somebody messed with those files before uploading them on there...hmmm
Your best bet is probably downloading the 2.5 MKV from Myspleen. Got a login or do you need a invite?
It looks good in my opinion, however, have you seen the colors of the widescreen Laser-disc release? It's beautiful. Here's a link:

My head almost exploded when I saw they even repainted the dwarf names on the beds in Italian. Weird.
Then I take it you have never seen the other releases of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", like for example the Swedish release where the beds actually had been repainted in Swedish.
Personally, I'd like to see preservation of "Splash Too", a movie to this day is not officially released on DVD (as far as I know).
I'd like to see it.

I could probably pick it up for less than £10 from eBay UK.
I've seen the first Splash (seem to remember it was cheesy fun a la Mannequin) but never seen the sequel; is it worth preserving?
In my opinion, yes, because as far I'm aware of, the sequel was never released on DVD. Think of it as the home video version of the whole "Song of the South" problem.
Moth3r said:
Do you have the VHS? Are you asking for help capturing?
I do not have the VHS if anyone asking, unfortunately. But even if I wanted to buy it, I'm short on money right now.
Everybody knows a least little about the Tom Hanks movie “Splash”, a romantic comedy about a businessman who falls in love in a mermaid after she rescues him. If you think the story sounds familiar, “Splash” was the first production for Touchstone Pictures, a company started by Disney where the focus was more adult-oriented then the parent-company. Unfortunately, dispite the fact that the movie was released on BD, the sequel however will likely never go beyond low resolution officially speaking. But fear not, there’s still hope. I mean look at this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Splash-2-Todd-Waring-Amy-Yasbeck-VHS-Walt-Disney-/150915211294?pt=AU_VHS_Tapes&hash=item23233f601e
That’s right, there’s still hope that somebody will make a high quality transfer of the original VHS to DVD (much like some of us did with the “Star Wars Holiday Special”). Anybody interested?
Can somebody provide the Swedish soundtrack from either the DVD or BD for this project?
Well, with the release of the 75th Anniversary edition of "The Wizard of Oz" (now available in (fake) 3D), it's time to present what little I know about the availability of the original mono:
VHS: Unknown if VHS had original mono. (Can somebody verify?)
LD: Some LD's are mono (like the 50th Anniversary Edition), others were fake stereo (like a Japanese release with reference number G98F5545). As far as I know, it is original mono. (Can somebody verify?)
DVD: Dolby Digital 5.1 for the simple release, mono included in the Collector's Edition and 70th Anniversary Edition. The mono track is slightly altered.
BD: Both Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and mono sound is available on the 70th Anniversary Blu-ray. Mono is unavailable on the 75th Anniversary Blu-Ray. Mono is altered.
Well, as far as I can see, the print has an aspect ratio of 1.33, which is good news already. But how the hell did they put copy-protection on a film reel?

What is a Grimsby error?
Well, according to IMDb: Just before Grimsby uncovers Eric's statue, the shirt of a sailor behind him changes color.
Very nice, Andrea! I smell OUT ruLes 3.0!

Really? The size I've seen is 8gb for the set of 31.
That's even better. Now you have quality enough for a dual-layered DVD (or two single-layer DVDs if you prefer that). Where did you find this set? PM the link to me if you want to.
MattMahdi said:
Is anyone working on a preservation of same? I have neither the skills nor the hardware nor even the software to make a Blu-ray disc, but it would be a truly wonderful thing to experience.
Not really, but you can get the complete series on Myspleen. The size is big enough for a single layer DVD.
Double post, because of this:
That right there is a film tear from the TLM BD (no, really). From what I seen from here, it is just for one four frames. Thoughts?
EDIT:
On the plus side, it shows that the source of the BD is film reels (I'm betting it is 70 mm).
titanic said:
by the way, have you seen the new restoration that is being done in "Gulliver's Travels" (1939) by a very small studio (with a forthcoming Bluray release)?
The result is OUTSTANDING!
http://www.intanibase.com/forum/index.php?topic=1283.msg10867#msg10867
I wish Disney would make restorations like these!
No change in aspect ratios, no grain removal, no change of colors!
These are people that respect the fans and the animation films from what it seems.
Really? That right there is just demanding a Myspleen share. Can anybody buy this and up it on Myspleen?
Take a look at this (Regarding "The Jungle Book"):
