thx, I've taken it from Superman 1, though it wasn't the logo I thought it was (it's a special version for WB movies that weren't actually made by WB, which is as true of Superman 2 as 1).

I'm going to go for the gusto here, with 2 fan edits...the DVD almost-RIC for which I have another thread already, and after that, a second cut of Superman 1 and 2 that...

1. Deletes the Lois dying/Superman turning back time from Superman 1, and adds the aftermath of Superman throwing the Hackensack rocket up into space from Superman 2: The Richard Donner Cut into Superman 1 at the very end with a "TO BE CONTINUED..." (cf. the original script)

2. Combines elements of the Donner and Lester cuts of Superman 2, I want to redo the titles though as I hate that damn font Arial Black they used for the Donner Cut.

3. Uses the turn-back-time ending to Superman 2.

I'll prolly use this logo

for all these movies. The \\' grows from the center of the screen, then RELEASED BY WARNER BROS. fades in, that's what Superman 1 did, it only seems fitting.

Difference #1 so far...
Unless there's a good rip of the scene of Superman flying past a plane on the way to France (deleted from Superman 1, added to the extended Superman 2, not in theatrical or Donner versions), it won't be in this cut. :/

Everything from RIC that I can find will be there, as far as possible...not everything's possible

OK, now that everyone knows I'm doing this, I'm going to give it a thread...

This is going to be a much easier job, I think, than my "TV Trilogy" project, so I'm going to give it priority. As soon as I have the Donner Cut, which I will either buy or source through one or two of my friends, I can start work on this edit in earnest.

OK, so here's my current standing:

1. I will restore the studio bumper from Superman 1 - Superman 2 got plastered twice, the DVD has the CG Shield. I would rather use the flying W than the matte shield.

2. Every scene from the RIC which I can find, either among Superman 1 Donner Cut, Superman 2 Donner Cut or Superman 2 Theatrical Cut, I will extract and put into its place. - Anyone got a better tool for hacking on mpegs than avidemux? Perhaps, one in which I can drop a vob into the timeline at any I-frame, instead of only at the end? (I use Linux but many Windows programs work fine here. If not, well, I do have Windows XP.)

3. I am not sure what to do if I find stuff I can't restore. I may have to leave it out; the difference between a high quality DVD 2.35:1 and an old 4:3 VHS, converted from NTSC to PAL and back, will be too jarring.

This will be my first attempt to do an edit from VOB rather than AVI.

I agree!

I was born in January 1980, so the 80s were my decade.

OK, I just realized my previous post sounded a bit confused. What I'm trying to do is recreate most/all of Superman 2 RIC in widescreen - and I figured while I was at it I'd try to unplaster it, hence the request for the flying W.

BTW, just thought I'd randomly mention the other project I'm working on is dub-over-raw work on Pokemon. 9th movie debuted last night (ran over by an hour and caused a conflict with something else I was going to capture >.<

, I have been doing dub-over-raw to try to recover as much uncut stuff as I can. That and my Star Wars project are my biggest projects.

OK, Superman 1 has it? As long as that's true for the NTSC R4 I've been getting off BT (yeah, I admit to warezing most of my movies), then it should be perfect. I already marked Superman 1 as a "possible necessity" for the project ...ok, so you've probably figured out what I'm trying to do... all I have to do now then is find a copy (online or IRL, depends, since I won't have the money for it 'til the 1st), of the Donner cut, and I can splice it all together.

Will this air again soon? An important project for a group I'm in involves capturing something off CN tonight and unfortunately, as a side effect of TV Guide being incorrect, I lost 10 minutes of the program - it's reairing now and those 10 minutes fall during this episode. :/

I don't have an archive of the episode, I don't think. I do have a friend who could reobtain it - but not in the quality of my settop, probably - only as a 350 MB AVI, probably. :/

So all I need to know is when and how much and I can prolly get anything you need. Only trick would be figuring how to get the vobs out, dunno that BT is wise. (the other option I can think of is irc?)

I suppose anything's better than nothing... WB's known for plastering, and it looks like the movie in question got plastered twice... (I'll name it once I actually start hacking away, it gets a lot of fan editing)

The logo is, I think, usually, white on black on red? It's been years since I saw it.

I’m looking, if anyone can find it, it’s said that it’s quite hard to find anymore, for a copy of the 1972-1984 Warner Bros. logo, to use in a fan edit of a movie released during that time period, the closest pic I can find of it is this for Warner Music on Wikipedia:

Thanks if you can find me it, and thanks even more if it’s 2.35:1 (approximate AR of the movie I’m editing)

I might go back and redo the SW cover I did a few days ago to match this ESB cover, which is also based on the 1984 VHS:

Yeah, sounds like we're spinning our wheels talking to him...

...for the record I have 3 "episode bodies" for my ROTS project already, although I'll admit, it's more as a proof of concept like all my other projects, and I know it's going to be junk quality compared to what others here can accomplish. I do my work for me, but I know people here have interest in projects like mine, so I bounce ideas off people here and take ideas from people here too.

I torrented only one of them as I recall, but I made all 3...could prolly torrent them all again...

Star Wars - 1.1 GB, with commentary track (ogm), 836x352
Empire Strikes Back - 826 MB (!), no special features (avi), 852x352, +5.1 MB file with similar settings for Emperor scene redubbed
Return of the Jedi - 1.1 GB, no special features (avi), 836x352

I have to tweak the header of Return of the Jedi, sometimes perfectly valid mpeg-4 avis are rejected because the 4cc is FMP4 instead of XVID or DX50... I might also strip out the commentary track for Star Wars

I haven't really checked as before watching the 1993 version I had only ever seen the 1989 fullscreen and the 1997 fullscreen, and once in cinema the 1997 widescreen.

As I only saw these movies in the form of self-encoded avis/ogms, ... Star Wars looked fine to me, ESB and ROTJ only problems I saw was slightly low-q OPEDs.
