I think I might have found it on Usenet. Is this what you want? If so, send me a pm.

Here’s the nfo that came with it.

                                 Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 1998, four of Star Wars' deleted scenes were released for the first time on 
the now out of print "Behind The Magic" cd-rom. These scenes were presented in 
very low quality, being limited by the cd-rom medium's capabilities. However, 
despite the poor quality, these "lost" scenes hold a special place in every 
serious Star Wars fan's consciousness. Up until now, the best way to view these 
scenes in their unedited entirety was to view the BTM cd-rom. With BTM long out 
of print, these scenes have essentially become "lost" again. The purpose of this 
DVD is to allow viewing of these scenes on the most appropriate device, a 
widescreen television.

Technical Notes:

Using information from originaltrilogy.com's technical forums, these four 
scenes' raw files were extracted from BTM in ZNM format. Using grisc on each 
ZNM, each scene's individual frames were extracted as PNG stills along with 
corresponding WAV files. These files are as close to the original cd-rom 
material as possible.

Each lost scene on BTM runs at 12fps. For television viewing, each frame was 
doubled and an image sequence was created running at 24fps. The image sequence 
was then exported and resized for anamorphic 2.35:1 and then letterboxed for 
16:9. This was done for both PAL and NTSC and then framerates were conformed to 
25fps and 23.98fps, respectively. Each file was then taken into a video editor 
and fade in/outs were added. A lossless video codec was used at every step until 
encoding to MPEG2 and every original frame is presented completely.

Work done on each scene:

TREADWELL - Each still frame was cropped from 640x272 to 616x256 to eliminate 
black borders.

TOSCHE STATION 1 & 2 - Nothing. Each still frame 640x272.

CANTINA - Each still frame was cropped from 624x416 to 616x257 to eliminate 
black borders and the ridiculous additional SE material at the bottom of each 
frame. The original Cantina frame area was also surprisingly interlaced. A 
de-interlacing filter was applied to remedy this.

Tools Used (Mac OS X unless otherwise noted):

grisc (Windows)
Photoshop
Renamer4Mac
Quicktime Pro
Cinema Tools
Final Cut Pro
Compressor
A. Pack
Illustrator
DVD Studio Pro
NFO Creator (Windows)

In making this DVD, I attempted to present these scenes as close to the source 
material as possible. I did not try to perform any major restoration or 
clean-up. The frames are very pixelated and have tons of dirt and scratches on 
them. Both BTM discs' extracted raw contents are included in the DVD-ROM 
section. The source material is in there for anyone with the desire and skill to 
restore these frames. I would be interested to see what someone could do with 
this. I personally like the feel of the dirt and scratches so my work is done...

Thanks to Laserman for technical wisdom, Coov for great artwork, and ColinK for 
the extracted BTM disc 1 files posted on usenet.

is there an 35mm version of all the 3 movies extended edition?

Only FOTR extended has a 35mm scan so far.
In theory it’s possible that someone will find a TTT extended print and have it scanned.
In theory it’s NOT possible that someone will find a ROTK extended print and have it scanned, as 35mm prints were never created in the first place.

Note, I have no personal knowledge about this stuff, I’m just repeating what I’ve read from others since these scans had become available.

Awesome. Enjoy!

Thanks Snoopac I’m enjoying Fellowship of the Ring. For the first time it looks like it did in the cinema no DNR has been applied. PJ really needs to go back and remaster these films they are horrible on 4K.

👍
But don’t thank me, I didn’t get the print or get it scanned etc…

Hi. Yes, the new scan of TTT is complete. 1080p and 2160p versions available, like the other movies.
Note also that there’s a new encode of ROTK 2160p (there were reports of encoding/compression issues with the initial release some months ago).

You can PM me if you’d like a copy of any of them (or any of the other releases).

Also reminder, these are not my prints, I can’t claim any credit for the scanning & real effort. I’m just helping to make them available. You can thank @elendil42 and others for making this happen.

I’d love a link if available. Apologies if you aren’t the right person to PM for this anymore, I scanned through these pages and couldn’t find the instructions @elendil42 mentioned. Like a few others, I’d be happy to donate to their future projects if someone has a link for that as well.

Hi. Please check your PMs.
If you aren’t sure, you can get there by clicking on the speech bubble at the top right of the page.
It will either look like this

or more likely like this right now:

Does anyone have the VCD BIN/CUE or DVD-Video ISO (incl. menus) of this trilogy? Would love to get a link. Thanks!

There’s a BD ISO with menus of FotR only.

I see some people are asking in the thread. Not sure which of you were able to get it or not.

Posting again in case people didn’t see the earlier pages. You can PM me if you are still looking to acquire these.

Another update in case people didn’t read every post in the thread…

Still trying to find the downloads to the Despecialized trilogy.

Thanks

The first post in this thread links the the “Ultimate Introductory Guide”, aka “HanDuet’s Guide” to help you out.

There’s a bunch of different versions.
Main one on the site is probably Harmy’s Despecialized (SW 2.7 (with help from towne32), ESB 2.0, ROTJ 2.5). There’s threads detailing those.
Those 3 have been made into nice Blurays by NJVC, there’s a big thread on that. And a thread about distributing those from solkap.

Then there’s the new 4k77 for SW. There’s a thread on that.
There’s the Silver Screen Edition of SW. And a Grindhouse of ESB (and the Dreamastered colour correction of that). And I think a ROTJ Grindhouse as well?
Thread’s on all of those too, I imagine.

Probably some other versions I’ve missed.

So maybe a first step is to go look at all those threads and decide which version(s) you want?

You say there is a thread for the 4k77 edition but I am going around in circles here. How does one obtain it? I loved the original despecialised edition. Really interested in seeing the new remaster.

Wow, that’s a 6 year old post you are quoting 😃.

For 4k77, the easiest way is is to go to the first post of the 4k77 thread, there’s a link to another forum (thestarwarstrilogy) where that project was worked on. There’s also an invite code, etc.
https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/4K77-Released/id/60815

If you don’t want to go there for some reason, you can pm me and I can send you the links.
It’s just a bit of a pain as there are different options for each film, and they’re all explained over there . If you aren’t sure which versions you want, we’d have to figure it out.

Alternatively they should all be on myspleen, if you happen to have an account.

Hello,
I just discovered this project, and first, congratulation !
I don’t understand where we can download it.
(Also, English isn’t my first language (I’m French), so I would like to watch it in english (french dubbing of the original trilogy is really… unreliable with french subtitle, do you know where I can find subtitles of the original version).
I know that the info I’m searching are probalbly already available, but I don’t find it.

Bonjour.
Il y a des renseignments dans la premiere poste de cette thread. Il y a un lien à un autre forum, et aussi un code d’inviter.

Si vous ne pouvez pas y enscrirer où le telecharger, envoyez moi un PM et peut-etre je peux t’aider.

Sorry, french isn’t my first language either, but I tried (and possibly made up some words along the way 😃).

You can always use Google translate:

https://translate.google.com/

Haha, I wanted to practice.
I have a test this week 😃
