44rh1n's "The Fellowship of the Ring" Extended Edition Color Restoration (Released)
Time

FOTR is an easy stitch-together, actually, as the audio and video both end at the cut to black. Haven’t checked that part of 44rh1n’s release to be certain that’s what he did, but I don’t see why it’d be any different (at work so can’t check now). [JEDIT: Yep, the disc change point looks and sounds exactly as it should in 44rh1n’s version, at least on the “V3” single 44GB file version. I’d expect the smaller “V1” single 22GB file version to be the same.]

TTT and ROTK, however, have the audio continuing on after the cut to black, playing over the “insert disc 2” screen, so they require an L-cut, meaning you have to overlap the disc 1 audio with the beginning of the disc 2 audio, which requires audio reencoding.

I’ve got audio tracks for TTT and ROTK that are properly stitched together like this that someone made for kk650’s regrades and shared on tehparadox, but I can’t recall if they’re lossless DTS-HD, regular DTS, or AC3, or whether they’re 6.1 or 5.1 - but if you’re interested I can share them. They should work with any stitch-together of TTT and ROTK that just join the two at the cut (so there would be no black screen whatsoever between the last frame of picture on disc 1 and the first frame of picture on disc 2).

cause OUT would be a huge market for the streaming service so it would affect the Streaming Experience

(I am not saying OUT wont be released it now has 99% chance of being released thanks to the merger also it will be Legacy as Star Wars)

Yeah, there’s zero evidence beyond what Mike himself has said that it “will” be Legacy.

It might be, but convincing yourself it “will” be is setting yourself up for disappointment.

this question might be a bit off topic,but exists deleted scenes they are not in the movie?
i never see one…

Pretty sure essentially everything usable was thrown in the extended cuts.

No other deleted scenes were released officially; closest you’ll get would be snippets of things in the making of documentaries, but I’m not sure if there’s anything usable in those.

No, it doesn’t. It’s an HD project sourced from Blu-Ray material. Owning just the DVD and then getting this without owning the Blu-Ray is piracy as far as this site is concerned.

It’s equivalent to owning the GOUT DVD, but not the OT Blu-Ray, and downloading Harmy’s Despecialized anyway, despite the fact that Harmy uses the BR as a primary source.

Oh my, this looks staggeringly beautiful! Exactly what Fellowship is supposed to look like!

I’ll certainly be grabbing this as soon as it’s available. I hope you get someone to cap the Netflix master for you for a v2 - as you say, I’ll take the DNR over botched colors, but an improved source for the TC sequences would be ideal.
