I've got the tape ("Color/Approx. 48 Minutes") but no VCR to play it on.

My friend's trying to negotiate for a copy of a workprint for Aladdin. He managed to procure a 15-sec. sample that includes "cut off your ear".

My LDs are in the mail, and damn the post office for not updating their page! When I get them, I'll rip them, and then see what I can do with them. I know my friend will prefer the DVD video of Aladdin and Cinderella, but I think I got him convinced on Lion King. (Minus side though: We only found out about the CAV Lion King *after* I bought the CLV version. So I've still got Lion King on my want list.)

I've seen it.

That's why I use ip blocking and client software banning on my tracker.

Color screwups plague Cinderella too, which was restored by...you guessed it...Lowry Digital...

Since the WIP on the DVD isn't the proper workprint but a mix of workprint and SE...

Yes, I would be interested. (I *do* have a LD player, and that's on my list of LDs to acquire and rip.)

If it only appears once, it should be OK, as when a piece fails checksum the client attempts to redownload it.

If it keeps appearing...

Thanks to my friend giving me full access to his hosted server, I currently have a 12.8 share ratio on the torrent, and I'm going to shoot for 15.

I hope he doesn't kill me for pushing 2 MB per second (100 Mbps -> 12.5 MB/s) on this thing...

I see 3 seeds, 54 peers. It's the Pirate Bay torrent, but I got it off Mininova.

Haven't gotten 'em yet.

The LI DVD (1999) of Little Mermaid is 1.66:1 non-anamorphic, unaltered. It's safe in our hands (drf can easily obtain it, and I have a -R).

An OTV is feature enough to make a LD worth buying, if the DVD don't have it.

I've been sourcing my discs at roughly $10 apiece, that's shipping-included, from "Laserdiscs by Duff" on evilBay.

I figured I'd download the NTSC DVD with my friend's hosted server.

Got it set to a upload cap of 2 megabytes per second.

I rejected Aladdin's DVD video on account of, at the very least, the end credits. (It is, however, OAR.)

If, as I believe, the primary video source for the Mermaid restoration is the SE, it's not OAR, so I will prefer the old DVD on that account alone.

(Yes, I'm picky)

Though I do appreciate the work you guys have done - it's also a learning experience for me and drf to work on these restoration projects

"Be Our Guest"

This is upscaled slightly.

A second thought, as I said the movie is 1.9 GB on a shrunk disc... if that's a 50% shrink, then the biggest it could be on the actual disc is 3.8 GB... that's with 3 audio tracks (384, 448, 192) - my LD rip has only 1 audio track (256), so there's clearly a lot more space for the video track, as the VOBs add up to 4.0 GB!

I'll MU the Be Our Guest from the DVD I torrented...take a while though, it's a 286 MB VOB

EDIT: CLARIFICATION: I don't own the R1. I have a shrunk copy of the R2 (NTSC) version, so any samples I'd make from it would be trash quality considering the whole movie is compressed to under 2 GB. (Don't ask.)

I guess Cinderella's on my "screwed up, need to replace" list then, instead of my "plastered" list.

Suppose so. As for the DVD colors on BatB, they seem to be pretty close to the VHS but brighter, although the LD is brighter yet!

I might look for a LD of Cinderella for point-of-comparison, though, wouldn't really be worth it unless someone confirms the rumor about it having the RKO bumper...

I don't do Spleen (it would kind-of be hypocritical of me to upload a torrent to a ratioz tracker when I hate them, although I do understand the reasoning). Beauty and the Beast's at usotsuki.info:6969 (dunno if it's still seeded, I would've jumped back on it but that would mean ripping the disc AGAIN, because we just reformatted our server to turn off the RAID and double our free space), if I torrent other DVDs they'll be there too.

It's possible BatB'll be getting a V2, drf's working on his own DVD from the same laser rip. (I'm guessing he's waiting on a source for a particular bumper he wants to add to the DVD!) Like me, he's going with the Pillarbox Anamorphic approach.

Well, I've done something like Backstroke with Babelfish, English -> Chinese -> English (either one should work)...

I used Traditional I think. Got some interesting stuff. "Does not have!" is a meme in my Pokemon channel comparable to "Do not want"

Such luck have I. >_<

After I bot these files so I can torrent them from a much faster server... I'm burning me ANOTHER COPY. It took two reads to get VTS_01_4.VOB off the disc, ...luckily it eventually worked x.x

The DVD is tilt and scan 1.85:1 - the CAV 2 laserdisc set (which I have) shows the full 1.66:1 (5:3) frame - the VHS and CLV LD are pan and scan 4:3.

The DVD I have torrented (I'll see about getting some more umph on that torrent, guys) is 1.66:1 pillarbox anamorphic.

I already put Beauty and the Beast out, but after putting it out, I confirmed that the so-called original theatrical version on the DVDs (at least the Japanese R2 I have access to) is not what it claims to be.

Laserdisc

DVD

Also the credits are redrawn (the font is wrong for the end credits, and "presents" in the first card is placed too high), and "In association with Silver Screen Partners IV" is missing. I have heard of other redrawing, but this is all I myself have found.
