Info: Hold onto your old Little Mermaid discs!

Apparently the repainting of the knee cap was done years ago to prepare for an aboted IMAX release. I think it's pretty stupid as well. Alas, it's a second of footage, so it's not like George got his hands on it. I still wish they hadn't messed with it.

As for the video and remix, I heard the old DVD was no bread winner either. Single layer with a lot of softening and a non-anamorphic transfer. Remix wise, I'm always a fan of the original audio. I just don't understand why they always have to mess with the sound.

That said, I'm buyin it for the extras. It's extremely rare that I do such (this is only the second time). I'll probably still watch the film on my old original VHS or one of the many recordings I made off TV. That means watching either the '89 or '97 sound mixes (I'm pretty sure that's what Disney played after that point). The Little Mermaid was one of the first films I watch at home in stereo[I had a mono tv back then] I haven't compared recently, but I remember the 97 mix on the Disney Channel sounding far more forceful than the original VHS tape. I could be wrong though.

Idea: X-Men 3 - Deleted Scenes - fan edit?

I would love to do a re-edit of this film. I loved the first two films, but thought the second one focued too much on action and didn't really payoff on what had been built up. Not to mention the pointless death of Scott. I'm not against the killing of characters and thought the Xavier scene worked well narritively, but Scott's death was a joke.

The real question on my mind is whether the film can be salvaged with these. Most of the ones I've seen don't really help. The Golden Gate shot sound's intrigueing. I thought it was ridiculous in the film that one shot is dusk, the next, which seems mere minutes later is dead of night.

The Magneto/Jean scenes look promising. As does the voices in the Xavier scene. The Rogue scenes might help too.

It makes me wonder if one could cut Cyclops' death out altogether. Maybe just have him leaving. It's been a while so I can't remember.

I'm not even sure if I'm getting this. I know my sister absolutely hated the film. Before I saw it she called me in tears about it. I know when i saw it I kinda just freaked out over it. I wish I had a recording of it. I didn't outright hate it, but I knew several things didn't work for me.

I'll see if mom'll pick it up as well tomorrow. If so, i may attempt something. No promises though.

Man, I should visit this site more often. Thanks a lot for that. I've listened to some of it and it sounds great. I should see about comparing it to my Manga tape. See what the downmix changed from it. All I know is that it's downmixed from their 6.1 and remixed to pack more of a punch. So the directionality should be different.

400mb. Think goodness I have a 600kbps DSL line.

Once I clear out some more HDD space, I'll see about synching it up. Hopefully it'll synch up nicely with the ZX Renewal copy and not give me any trouble.

I also decided to grab the new version of I Think I'm a Clone now. Shame it wasn't done by the original makers, but it's still nice to see the song finished. I haven't watched it just yet.

I'm aware of the travesty that they did for the dub. Such as the Gunshot/Slap noise that worked so perfectly in the original getting canned for a basic gunshot that has absolutely none og the meaning. I'm refering to the sub tracks. They didn't ad anything there. I've only hear soe of the renewal 5.1 (I have the Manga version on VHS). It's no biggie, but I have wondered.

As for the 2.0, I'd basically appreciate it in whichever format it came in. I'll just reencode my rip with it. I'll probably tweak the subs some more too. The only version I have of the stereo is on an old VHS rip. I doubt it's in as good of shape.

I think it was. If memory serves, the renewal left the original audio intact (which, considering the mino changes is a good thing), whereas Platinum and such didn't. I could be wrong though, and they might just be downmixed like Manga. Though I know the rip I have didn't have it. The Manga 2.0 was downmixed from the 6.1. Sounds great and all, but I'd like the original.

Out of curiousity, does anyone know the relation between the Manga remixes and Gainax's? Are they the same (I'd think not), how they compare. I'd imagine the Gainax ones would better reflect the original intents.

As far as I know, only the Hong Kong dub exists. It exists as either the heavily mutilated Clash of the Bionoids, or the less edited Macross. If another dub existed I'm sure I'd of heard about it on Macross World or Macross Nexus.

So it should be the same dub. None of the Japanese cast was involved. Where have you read otherwise? I'd be highly interested if such a dub does exist.

Interestingly enough, I have a copy of the Renewal from a certain high quality DVD ripper that put Manga's subs to it. Since I highly agree on the subs being shit, I created a new track. It's still mostly Manga's, but several key points have been replaced by Bochan Bird's superb script.

You've got to love soft subbing.


Now if only I could get a copy with the real 2.0 track intact. Not this overrated remix stuff.


I'd love to see the improved "I think I'm a clone now". I'd actually considered remastering it myself from time to time. Good to hear it finishes the song now too.

I've watched bits and pieces of them, and so far, it's pretty good being a fan edit. Some CGi is actually quite seamless (high praise from the likes of me). Really, the thing that stood out the most were the explosions. They're just "there". There's no lighting on the ship or anything. So they look painted on, rather than part of the ship blowing up. I'm unfamilar with stuff like this, but is there anyway to blend it better?

True. In Japan, it means animation. In America, it means Japanese animation. Makes some sense I suppose. I've always considered myself an animation fan. Though I use anime fan for short.

Watched the film, then the commentary. Considering I only intended to spot check the burn, this is quite a feat. All in all, given what you had to work with, an superb job. Granted, some things could've been smoothed better, partically soe audio, but there's no helping it.

This is the third full length commentary I've heard in full. These things rarely hold my interest, but the nature of the project made it more interesting I suppose. Also possibly the first time I've watched a film two times in a row.

You did it as you didn't have to worry about working from the sources, nor having your work judged. Obviously Manga would like to do something more professional than a simple hack job. Considering how people jump on Manga whenever they do anything......

Personally, I have no interest in the dub, so it's no loss in my book.

Cool that you did it though.

This would get completed after I found a nice torrent of stuff. Someone ripped the pics and audio from most of the rare Fan Discs. Quite a bit of stuff there.

I'll definitely grab this once I clear space. I just wish I could've been a bit more involved, seeing how much I love the show.

Disabling Auto Updates is pretty simple. Assuming you're using SP2 (unlike me), you should be able to disable it from the Security Center under Control Panel.

Barring that, right click/properties on My Computer. There should be a tab for it there. If you do have SP2, be sure to disable Windows alert system for it under "change how indows alerts me" in the Security Center. Otherwise it will bug the bejeebus out of you.
