What is the name of the fan-edit that basically focuses on media coverage on Star Wars: Episode III? I’m pretty sure the name has something to do with the phrase “backslap with media” and that the edit is edited like you’re channel-surfing.

A video that shows the difference between the Sword in the Stone blu-ray and the 4K Disney+ version. Almost day and night.
No kidding! I’m telling you, I’m getting Disney+ when it launching here in Sweden.

I might start using Topaz’s Gigapixel AI to upscale the miniature shots in the DVD and color-correct them to match to the rescanned HD elements.
I’d advise against that: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Gigapixel-AI-vs-infognition-Super-Resolution-or-What-to-use-to-upscale-SD-to-HD-or-4K/id/67610
Interesting thread. I am another swedish person dedicated to preserving Swedish cartoon and dubs.
Do you have any old Swedish dubs by any chance? If so, which ones?
I have the following original Swedish dubs (or first redub in the case of Dumbo)
- Pinocchio (Swedish original dub from 1941 was used on a rental VHS edition from 1987. All releases after that use the 1995 Swedish )
- Alice in wonderland (Swedish orignal dub was used on rental VHS edition from 1990. All releases after that use the 1998 Redub)
- Dumbo (first redub from 1972 used on VHS release from 1991 and showed a few times on TV. All releases after that use the second redub from 1996)
- Bambi (Swedish original dub from 1943 was released on the first batch of VHSes 1994 by mistake. Later editions and batches use the redub from 1986)
- Oliver and Gang (Swedish original dub from 1998 was initialy released on the DVDs from 2002 by mistake, but these were quickly withdrawn. This dub has also been shown on disney channel for some reason. Later releases include the rebug from 1997)
Still missing these original dubs that have never been released on on any home video media
- Peter Pan (Swedish original dub from 1953, was only shown in cinemas, all releases use the 1992 redub)
- 101 Dalmatians (Swedish original dub from 1961 was only shown in cinemas, all releases use the 1995 redub)
- Black Cauldron (Swedish orignal dub was only shown in cinemas, all releases use the 1998 redub)
- Cinderella (Swedish original dub from 1950, all releases have used the 1967 redub)
- Lady and the tramp (Swedish original dub from 1955, was only shown in cinemas, all releases use the 1989 redub)
- Dumbo (Swedish original dub from 1946)
- Snow white (Swedish original dub from 1938)
This are the major movies I have/are searching for. There are plenty of other redubs as well in Sweden.
Could you please PM me links to Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi as well as Oliver and Company?
Does Chewbacca have a medal in A New Hope? I haven’t seen the movies yet on Disney+ as I am waiting for the service to launch here in Sweden.
Seems like the deleted scenes are only available in SD on Blu-ray:
[blu-ray.com said:]
Enhanced Viewing Mode allows viewers to watch a version of the film with deleted and extended scenes inserted into the film. Also available is a selection of 17 behind-the-scenes pieces that may be viewed during the film by pressing the “1” button on the remote when an “X” icon appears on-screen. Finally, an extended commentary track is available when watching the movie in Enhanced Viewing Mode. All of the deleted and extended scenes are also available through the Enhanced Viewing Mode tab or the Deleted Scenes / Extended Scenes (480p, 11:02) tab of the main menu, while the behind-the-scenes features are accessible instantly from the Enhanced Viewing Mode tab.

Hello everyone!
Today, I picked up an extended version of the first X-Men film called “X-Men 1.5” on DVD. For clarification, I bought the PAL version of this release: https://www.amazon.com/X-Men-1-5-Patrick-Stewart/dp/B000078UJV
I’m the kind of guy who seeks out extended versions of movies whenever possible and I’ve done so ever since I got the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy on Blu-ray for Christmas a few years ago. So, my question is simple: Is it possible to recreate the X-Men 1.5 cut using the Blu-ray?
Oh sorry, i missunderstood this.
A pdf from the cover and inlays is available, with some infos about it.

Seems to work just fine:

True, but he’s referring to this copy: https://archive.org/details/cd_star-wars-shadows-of-the-empire_joel-mcneely
Thanks for the link Anakin94, but OP wasn’t looking for the PC game, he was looking for the soundtrack CD.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Shadows_of_the_Empire#Soundtrack
You can find the disc on archive.org.
Could you PM me and OP a link? I can’t find it.
I assume you have a good reason you didn’t go to Discogs to buy a copy for yourself?

After some testing of the video app, I can safely conclude that I’m sticking with infognitions Super Resolution plugin whenever I want to upscale live-action footage for now on. Why is that, I hear you ask? Well, I decided to upscale the deleted scenes from Star Wars: Episode I and what I’ve got, in the end, was this: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QxRpCOvvqQ3WGi0klL-yhfV_-d-oqpwe
See, I noticed that while Gigapixel does an outstanding job on close-ups, it falls flat on its face when it comes to faraway objects. As you can see, the faraway objects, at least in my opinion, look like cartoon blobs.
I recently discovered that the developers of Gigapixel AI have begun testing a video upscaling app. For the moment, it’s only for Windows 10, but during the beta test, you can try it out for a non-commercial purpose free of charge. For the curious, here’s a link: https://videoai.topazlabs.com/
Now for the BIG question … can anyone figure out a way to get these off of Disney+?
Well, someone ripped the first episode of The Mandalorian in 4K HDR on Blutopia. I’m sure 4K rips of the Star Wars movies will follow shortly.
Is it too early to ask how the new 4K presentation compares to 4K77 for example?
Due to a lack of time, I’m putting this project on a hiatus until 2020. I’m not sure when it will be resumed, but hopefully it will be before July.
The Despecialized Edition seems to be cropped from the movies’ original CinemaScope ratio because I noticed that some of Greedo’s subtitles in Episode IV, as well as some parts of the credits went off the edges of the screen. I am a person who likes to watch everything in its original aspect ratio, so do you know where I can find a Despecialized copy in the original CinemaScope ratio? Thank you.
Um, what are you talking about? Star Wars wasn’t shot in CinemaScope. Where exactly have you heard that Star Wars was filmed in CinemaScope?
Looking over the movies shown in this format at https://www.screenx.co.kr/movies/previously.php I see a lot of Asian movies. Is there any kind of ScreenX presence at all in the US?

The original academy ratio of 1.37:1 has been changed to 16:9, causing cropping and losing parts of the picture. The color changes to brighten the film also are drastically different and looks awful.
Please let me know how this process can be done. And I’d like to know how I can contribute.
Thanks
Um, what are you talking about? BATB was never shown in the academy ratio. See for yourself: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101414/technical?ref_=tt_dt_spec

Bumping this thread to say that I’ve reached out to a user on the spleen who has experience restoring cartoons to HD, having done for example a 720p restoration of the 2003 TMNT cartoon and a 1080p restoration of Extreme Ghostbusters. Hopefully, I’ll get some much-needed feedback from him.
The first pass on episode 1 “Ghosts R Us” is now done. If I’ve done things correctly, I should have sent a copy in the PMs to all who replied to this topic so far.
The pilot has been restored on the blu ray release of ghostbusters 1 and 2 4k steel book edition, I can confirm its on the disc since I own this recent release.
Need me to send the one already restored?
No thanks, YoshiKiller2S already has sent me a copy. Thanks for the offer though.
