I thankfully found a guy with the Japanese LD or Rock & Rule and got a lossless audio rip of it. Now it’s synced to the BD which I’ve made public. PM me if interested. I also have a rip of the US LD if anybody wants it.
The film edit of the 5-parter opening to the hit Disney series uses a notably lesser quality master than what is seen on DVD. I am hoping to get a LD rip (with lossless audio track) and reconstruct the film version using the DVD with the Laserdisc audio. The main issue is I lack the laserdisc of the film version. If anyone had a copy or rip If u can send a rip that would be steller!
I’m game.
I did get the audio from the disc from a guy on Discord and have it synced to the Blu-Ray but I am looking to get a rip with the video to compare to the other versions I have. Said versions include: 2010 Blu-Ray, 2005 Screener DVD, 1988 CBC Tape and 1986 MGM Laserdisc which is the same transfer as the 1984 VHS. Both the Blu-Ray and Screener DVD use the same 2005 HD master with the screener being in 4:3 Open-Matte with the final being 1:85:1. If anybody can rip the video from the 1985 Japanese LD that would be amazing!
Amazing. PM sent!
US Cut Not sure about the transfer but I do have the audio which is a massive step above the MGM VHS and LD.
Rock & Rule is Nelvana (Yes, the Star Wars Holiday Special guys) first film and it bombed hard. It has had a few releases over the years. Here is a list of all of the ones I know.
2: 1984 Pan & Scan VHS (Ported to LD in 1986)
3: 1985 Japanese LD
4: 1985 Ring of Power Re-release (Prints for this used for DVD and Blu-Ray)
5: 1988 CBC Tape (The original cut before MGM recut the film that aired on CBC)
6: 2005 Screener DVD (Same HD Master as BD but in Openmatte)
7: 2005 Mass Market DVD (With CBC Tape on disc two due to Directors personal 35mm copy of the original cut being lost)
8: 2010 Blu-Ray (Same 1080p transfer made in 2005)
9: 2015 Spanish Bootleg Blu-Ray (Same as above but has the Spanish dub)
This is all of the ones I own currently (Minus the Japanese LD). I think I need help.
The 2005 Screener DVD and 1988 CBC Tape of Rock & Rule (1983) are open matte while the retail DVD and BD are widescreen. The Laserdiscs and VHS’s are pan & scan expect for the CBC tape.
Yeah, It would be sweet to see a 4K71, 73, 77THX and 78 Graffiti. I sure hope it can happen when after the THX-1138 4K is done.
Is there anyway to get this print?
