That's completely understandable.
I don't think they ever put the extended Halloween footage out in HD. I'm not sure one way or the other about that though.
In fact as the day goes on I'm less sure about the Halloween II deleted footage being in HD.
Edit: Nope the extended edition footage has never been released in HD.
Never mind my last post.
If you are working at DVD resolution then you can just take that youtube footage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22sKuZMlgcg) and add some film grain to it and it would look fine blown up for your edit.
I was under the impression you were making an HD Fan Edit.
Still no word from my brother about the Halloween II deleted scenes but he's probably at work.
I did a quick youtube search for the Halloween: Resurrection 8mm footage and found this link.

I don't know if this is better or worse than the copy you have but I downloaded it and converted the footage to 1080p. As you can guess it looked pretty bad.
I then added some noise to hide the digital blocking and it started to look a bit better.
I then added some more filters to hide a few other imperfections and now it's at least watchable at 1080p.
I looks nothing like the original, I'm sure. Seeing as it's supposed to look like old worn out footage I figured that would be OK. If anyone wants to see the footage shoot me a PM.
Just went to double check my Blu Ray of Halloween II to really make sure the deleted scenes were in widescreen and realized I let my brother borrow it.
I'll shoot him a text to have him check for me. I'm 98% sure they were but I'm doubting myself now. :-/
I'm talking about the new BluRay released of Halloween II by Shout Factory. The TV cut is from the second disc (DVD) and is 4:3 SD. The deleted scenes from the the TV cut are on the BluRay disc in 16:9 HD.
IMDB has a pretty good list already.

There is also be lengthy discussion about it over at this Halloween message board.

The Shout Factory version of Halloween 2 has the TV cut in SD but the deleted scenes (stuff from the TV Cut) are all in HD. That could prove be useful if you plan on using that footage in your edit.
About 7 years ago I did an edit where I combined Halloween 1 & 2 into one long movie. I sent a DVD copy to DJ and then forgot about it. It was called Halloween: The Night He Came Home.
I always thought that turned out pretty good.
Holy cow great work on this release. I finally got around to ripping my Jurassic Park BluRay to .mkv so I could sync this track with the video and it sounds amazing.
Just a note to those playing back DTS HD via Media Browser or XBMC.
I encountered a few problems with my video stuttering with the DTS HD audio. I down converted the DTS HD file to DTS using TSmuxer and then added that to the video and it played back fine. This is more than likely a problem with my computer but I just wanted to put out that possible solution for anyone who may happen to run into a playback problem using DTS HD.
I guess I didn't think of that. I pictured this as a series of video clips that might repeat and zoom in on sections of the video while you narrated what changes had been made. Like I said, just a thought.
Why not skip the text on the comparison gallery and just record an audio commentary for it? It might be easier to explain the changes you've made.
Just a thought...
...but you can't upload new torrents. That is the problem.
:(
I saw this today and had to share.

Sorry but I deleted the files off my computer shortly after the upload. I would have to download them all again to upload them someplace else. Hopefully someone will grab them and post them elsewhere. I also think box.com has a bandwidth limit so once that is hit the files won't be online for another month.
No problem. Hopefully you were able to find something useful in there.
I just found an old folder with some Star Wars covers in it on a CD. I don't know if these covers are still floating around the internet but I had some space in the cloud so I thought I would share them. If you're interested hit up the below link.

I'm a fellow lurker, and also oppose the burn mark (for the justifications already given by other members).
Then I guess we don't count as our votes cancel each other out.

Harmy I've been floating around these forums for over 8 years now and it is only now after watching the training comparison scene you just posted that I'm finally excited about Star Wars again. Thank you for that. Keep up the good work.
