can you please post the source of the 1988 laserdisc of cinderella, as well as the 1996 US and 1997 France laserdisc of Oliver & Company, and 1992 laserdisc of great mouse detective ?

As of yet, I don’t think any new releases are improvements outside of the 4k versions of Snow White and Cinderella.
I don’t believe any other ink and paint animation have had new transfers. Pre-4k CG is just upscaled maybe with some HDR color improvements. Anything recent has a 4k source, so I don’t believe any are badly messed up (except maybe Incredibles 2, but that’s Pixar).
I’ve yet to find any reason to make an update to the first posts.
I’m open to suggestions though.
I was thinking about it. Haven’t done an edit to this degree in a long time. Mostly because they take a long time.
Was just thinking about this for the first time in a while. Is this still available anywhere and does anyone care?
I’m confused. The movie was still released before the final comic so the endings didn’t match up.
Also, there was an animated short that filled in a missing segment from the comics. Be nice to see that edited in to the movie.
I did find the Disney+ download to be 4.54 GB, but audio track is identical to what Class316 posted (AAC 2.0 at 125kbps). That said, the Blu-ray is Dolby Digital 1.0 at 96kbps. Reminds me of their crappy Darby O’Gill audio track.
Crap. Found my tapes and discovered I did record in EP. Even though they are TDK EHG cassettes, that’s not ideal.
Will see how they come out when copied to DVD though.

I’ll see what I can do. Right now my best method is good quality JVC VCR to a Philips DVR with DVD burner. Recording at high bitrate (1 hour to a single DVD-RW) and then rip with the PC. Of course if all you want is the subs, I can put several episodes to a disc.
Any particular episodes or all of them?
Are you requesting the captions? I can probably easily rip them, but not the episodes in good quality and I don’t have time to sync and delete any subtitles from the commercials.
VR5 was released commercially on VHS in the U.S… (Although some music was changed to save money.) I have my old VHS tapes from back then…
Do you have RHINO home video VHS release, or you have TV broadcast VHS records (in SP mode) from Sci-Fi channel? It’s worth to made a proper video capture of this with VHS-Decode (Domesday86 Project).
I wonder if someone (from Virtual Storm community) had made SVHS recordings from Sci-Fi channel back in the day (1997 - 1999)? It would be pure Gold if the TV signal was clean with no interference.
I recorded it from my cable provdier when it originally aired on Fox. They are SP. The first episode is missing the first minute, I believe the last was so bad I had to make a replacement copy from someone else’s recording and it looks it.
Two episodes didn’t air in the U.S. and I received them by mail from a Canadian fan. So not perfect.
Finally started watching this tonight (only took more than a year). I’m curious if you have the subtitles in English or at least .SRT so I can do a software translation from Bosnian(?) to English.
Yeah, YouTube only has their own content in multichannel. Everything else is automatically downconverted to stereo. I doubt it’s worth trying to upmix it again.
So this just got announced today. I’m honestly not sure how I feel about it.

Yeah, I got a facebook ad about it today. Kind of why I stopped working so hard on projects.
What do you mean?
That you’ve worked really hard for a great way of listening to the Potter books and now a commercial high budget version is going to come out.
Maybe yours will be better just because of your efforts plus movie, video games and Stephen Fry, but it’ll definitely become less sought after.

My complaint is, while fake grain seems more natural, if it wasn’t there before you add it, you are just destroying more detail that wasn’t scrubbed out of the film with the grain.
The 1080p version is designed for a BD25, if you keep only the English audio and one or two dubs.
The 2160p version is over 40GB just for the video.
Any recommendations for BD50 blanks?
For this one? Verbatim M-disc. It’s gonna be passed down like a family heirloom.
Until version 3.2. 😃
I copied it to a network HDD dock and took a look at it… and I hate to be the first to complain about this amazing piece of work, but it looks like the grain was scrubbed and then fake grain was added.
Was that the 4k source or am I hallucinating?

Pretty sure I know the answer before getting this, but is it possible to strip enough audio tracks and burn a BD25 or is a BD50 necessary for this without re-encoding?
Something to throw out there.
Here is screenshots from the UHD 4k release and the Central-Eastern European standard BD.
As I mention in the first post, Aladdin had enhancements/reanimation done for an IMAX release that never happened. I THOUGHT there was no digital release of the original master, but now I’m wondering:
So I don’t know what happened to the editor, but today I fixed the error in the uncensored audio track.
I didn’t do a full disc rebuild with it, but if there is interest, let me know.
I do want to ask again if anyone knows if anything else was cut besides a few god damns and one fuck. I don’t recall any nudity in the original version, but it does have an R rating.
Edit: Couldn’t let sleeping dogs lie. I got the best quality web-dl of the current print. Best video, best DD+ audio track, the best quality laserdisc to DVD of the original version, converted the audio tracks to lossless and remixed/rebuilt the original uncensored edition.
No black and white or changes, but thanks to Oswarez for inspiring me to do this. PM if interested.
I’m not sure there is an English dub on Blu-ray until March 12. At the moment only CrunchyRoll streaming has it.
No English dub?
Does anyone have CRC’s (or MD5) for these? I think at least one of my copies has gone bad, and without redownloading, which looks like it’s going to take a while, I have no way to check the files.
Edit: At 00:02:56 of Prisoner of Azkaban I see a break up. Does anyone else?What do you mean by all of this?
[Wikipedia sez:]
A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is an error-detecting code commonly used in digital networks and storage devices to detect accidental changes to digital data.
Basically you drop a file into a CRC program (I use RapidCRC) and it generates a short code that identifies the file. Other people can use that code to check if their copy of the file is identical.
So far, only my copy of Azkaban was damaged.
