Very amazing. 😮

Good luck. 😃

I’m glad to read that things start getting uphill for you, Poita.

And yes, I’m very interested in seeing the '97 SE restored and preserved just like the unaltered movies. 😃

For WC III, I think the novelisation by William R. Forstchen and Andrew Keith may be of great help on how to trim the story and/or which story paths could be taken.

I hope you’ll get better soon. 😃

And I still have the German SLV on VHS, of which I’ve wanted to digitize the audiotrack for some time now. If you could have any use for it, let me know. 😃

English or Deutsch? But even if it’s German the video could be useful

It’s the German dub.
So if I understand you correctly, you’d like to have both the video and the audiotrack?
(I bought that VHS many years ago because I wanted to adapt the German audiotrack to FanFiltration’s restoration. Unfortunately, I’ve never gotten around to it.)

Regarding “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home”:
The European version has a summary-sequence of the previous movie, narrated by William Shatner. Unfortunately, it has not been released on any of the Blu-ray releases as far as I know.
(However, since all needed footage obviously exists on the Blu-ray of Star Trek III, I don’t think it would be impossible to rebuild that sequence using the audio track from the DVD-release)

I’ve just found a fan-edit of the scene, in which Kirk leaves the Enterprise through the airlock. The creator (pun-intended) made his own matte-painting of the Enterprise’s saucer section around the airlock-set.

This really looks awesome and I’d love to see it in some form in future fan-edits of TMP.
However, I think for any purist rebuild of the Special Longer Version like FanFiltration’s, I think it should stay in it’s original form with the soundstage intact.

VLC Media Player also isn’t very ideal for playing large HD-video files since it shows the same issues you’ve described regarding Windows Media Player.

Good luck. 😃

The Director’s Edition of TWoK and the Special Edition of TUC have a few additional scenes.
And the TNG Blu-ray sets are worth their price. 😃

I never liked how the interlacing turned out on this edit and I never got around to making an upgrade. My original copy has been lost to time.

Didn’t I upload a copy of your original to the spleen?

You could have, I’ve lost my account info over there.

If you’d like, I can send you an invitation.

Best wishes for your daughter. 😃

In case this helps you for future versions:
Poita has uploaded footage of a German 35mm print of Empire, which includes the opening crawl:
http://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1011466

I’ve always hoped that a German Krieg der Sterne 35mm print would show up somewhere someday.
I can’t tell you how awesome it is that you have one. 😃

I’ve registered as well.

You can find version 1.6 on MySpleen. If you need an invite to that site, I’d be happy to provide you one. 😃

I like the idea of a private topic. I’m in. 😃

I recommend uTorrent. 😃

These look spot-on to me. Well done. 😃

In the meantime, if you haven’t done so already, you can check out the 35mm HD restorations floating around, like “Star Wars: Silver Screen Edition”, “The Empire Strikes Back: Renegade Grindhouse Edition” and “Return of the Jedi: 35mm Grindhouse”. 😃

I have the German VHS of the longer version of ST:TMP. I originally bought it in the hopes that one day I’d be able to synch its audio track with FanFiltration’s reconstruction.
Would you be interested in that one?

Does it have burnt in English subtitles?

It doesn’t. Many Germans prefer their movies dubbed instead of subtitled.
So my VHS may only be interesting for the audio track.

Having a nice cap of the whole thing would probably be good. This way an NTSC version could be made and maybe used to average one nice looking VHS version all the way around.

😃

I just realised that you were probably talking about burnt-in subtitles during the Klingon and Vulcan dialogs. I’m pretty sure that these have burnt-in subtitles.

It may take some time, but once I get around to it, I’ll see if I can digitize it for you. 😃
