The Rise of Skywalker: Ascendant (Released)

I knew your answer already, Hal, yet hearing it again still disappoints. :’( Ah well.

I do think you need to let it go though, Broom Kid. Hal has said time and time and time again that he won’t be cutting Mustafar, and constantly bringing it up when he’s already tested it and didn’t like it and firmly said he won’t be cutting it, isn’t going to do anything but clutter up his thread. That’s why I stopped bringing it up months ago.

Star Wars 1977 70mm sound mix recreation [stereo and 5.1 versions now available] (Released)
Time

You downloaded someone else’s compressed re-encodes, then, not the actual official Team Negative1 releases.

Official releases of 4K77 and 4K83 are MKV files with multiple DTS-HD MA and Dolby Digital audio tracks, or Blu-Ray ISO files that also have DTS-HD MA and Dolby tracks. None of them are MP4/M4V and none of them have AAC audio.

Revenge of the Sith - Workprint "Remastered" (Released!)

Are there any differences between this and the film we got is 05?

To expand a little on what Bobson said, this is actually our best reference for what the film as released in 2005 on digital screens actually was. If I’m not mistaken, there’s also a cam recording from a theater in 05 that matches this workprint exactly (well, minus timecode etc).

LOST - Season 1, 2 and 3 Finale Fan-Edits (Version 2 in Progress)
Time

I’ve been racking my brain at the comment that the S4 and S5 finales are preserved in their original double-length forms on Blu because…they aren’t. At least, not on my sets, and I’ve been scouring the Internet for any BDrip uploads that have the movie length S4 and S5 finales, and have found nothing - they’re all split.

I was talking to SpacemanDoug about it, and after a while he finally dug up some info - they’re only preserved on the US Region A releases. I imported the UK sets because they were cheaper at the time, and apparently all the scene uploaders also used an international set for their rips and uploads.

Man. That really sucks, I didn’t want to have to re-buy them…

The Phantom Menace - Bobson's Theatrical Recontruction v2 (WIP)
Time

There’s room for both. I skimmed the v1 and I like it quite a bit, though of course the laserdisc snippets are noticeable, but way more seamless than any attempt I’ve seen in the past (and very watchable). I’d love a version of this in a full-bitrate ~35GB BD50-compliant encode with the theatrical DTS 5.1 audio synced to it! But the 5GB with stereo AAC audio will do for now.

And yeah, I’d still like to see a “true” TPM Despecialized/“4K99” for archival purposes but to be honest, in the future if I don’t watch a fan edit, this will almost certainly be the version I watch.

'Kiki's Delivery Service' - DJMasturbeats version (1998 Disney English dub) (Released)
Time

FYI, I’ve suddenly gotten multiple requests for this in the past 2 weeks after months of nobody asking for it. I don’t currently know where it is, I believe it got moved onto one of my many, many external drives when I did a clean install of Windows recently. I’m planning on digging through them this weekend to look for it.

For everyone who’s sent me a PM asking for it, hopefully I’ll be able to dig it up and reupload it this weekend. For anyone else finding this thread, please hold off on PM’ing me about it for now. I’ll post another update in here if I find it again.

Star Wars I - The Phantom Menace - ZigZig's Laserdisc Preservation (Released)
Time

I’m seeing a lot less noise and there might be a miniscule amount of detail loss on Qui-Gon’s chest by the crooks of his elbows, but I’m also seeing significantly more detail near his armpits and pretty much everywhere else in the image. I’m also pretty sure the perceived extra detail around the crooks of the elbows in Althor’s capture is just noise and not actually more detail, but even if it is a slight loss in detail it’s worth it for the immensely improved amount of detail practically everywhere else in the frame, especially in faces which I’d argue is much more important than some wrinkles on their plain brown robes.
