A jokey, just for laughs project I have planned. Will use the TB airing of the 1997 version for all unaltered shots, reverting to the 16mm transfers Puggo has done for all changed shots, disorienting the viewer as the coloring and framing suddenly and drastically changes. AR will also be distorted to about 2:1. Audio will be the mono mix with sometimes less than perfect sync.

Inspired by/ripped off from the official 1985 restoration of King Kong vs. Godzilla, which used a nasty 16mm rental division internegative for all frames missing from the uncut version, reverting to it sometimes mid-shot.

Final release will be a lovely DVD5 capture of a VHS.

• Why didn’t you say so before?

Finished syncing audio from the tape to the main video of version 2.0.

It's not on the '91 LD, so I settled for the 1989 VHS instead, which does indeed have the mono mix/older 16mm sourced reconstruction. There's a cap of the tape on MySpleen now.

Ah, so it's just the Classic Media reconstruction which the MHD telecine was a basis for.

Whoa, did they use the MHD airing for Monster Zero? If anyone got a cap of that, lemme know.

My question is this ..... does anyone have or is there English audio for 2000 because I believe the International version is extended? 

 Ask Mike Schlesinger, the U.S. Godzilla 2000 producer. Word has it he has a VHS tape of the unreleased HK export dub in his office or something. But in all seriousness, I hope it's included on the U.S. Blu-Ray since they'll probably end up including the Japanese cut.

Me and BoxMonster are working on a version 2.0 of the Kong restoration that will have the alternate mono sound mix and actual subtitles (not the shitty VDK ones).

I have the 73 minute Champion Festival edit and I'll soon be receiving the full mono mix from a contact. I believe it's an alternate audio track on the '91 LD. I'll make a syncable .ac3 for BoxMonster's composite reconstruction.

Does anybody here have the Image LD of Dawn of the Dead or at least the EMI VHS release? I know there's a widespread open matte rip of the Cannes cut floating around from one of the Anchor Bay releases, but I prefer Romero's theatrical/intended cut, and I'm curious about the old transfer.

Glad I slept through the DVD releases. I only have the '87 VHS and I've thankfully never had the opportunity to sour myself with the trashy remix. Lookin' forward to this.

Well, somebody mentioned my projects in this thread earlier, and I thought this would be relevant. If not, move on.

There's a BRD of Godzilla Raids Again coming out in Germany that looks like it might use the same 2009 transfer in 1080p, so I may be able to up both my GRA and Gigantis projects to HD, though admittedly I have no real capacity to do the actual 1080p editing, rendering, and authoring.

You can include just about every '50s Academy picture (at least U.S. releases), cause they were all matted to 1.85:1 in theaters. Then there's Invasion of the Body Snatchers, which was filmed in Academy, but was blown up to the SuperScope 2:1 ratio for theatrical release, and 16mm prints with more visual information on the top and bottom, but less on the sides exist. This Island Earth is another example of the process.

I've done a 1.85:1 version of Gigantis, the Fire Monster myself.

Okay, I don’t know much about the original Japanese language version, other than it was adapted from or a compilation of a TV show of sorts, but Aesop’s Fables is a 1983 Toei anime picture, and an English version written by the legendary Peter Fernandez was dubbed in 1985.

So far to my knowledge, there’s been no official DVD release of either the Japanese or English versions, and both have slipped into obscurity, though many childhood viewers hold it with great nostalgia, myself included.

Okay, so I have an EP mode 1989 reissue tape (This I assume. I actually don’t actually know if there was a 1985 release BTW), worn from many years of watching, but still viewable. Audio isn’t Hi-Fi and is pretty muffled cause it’s an EP mode tape, but is listenable. Recording a XP mode Toshiba DVD-R capture right now. Two years ago, I uploaded a shitty capture card rip to YouTube, but it’s begging for a better presentation. I will upload the raw DVD5 capture to MySpleen.

As many of you may know, The Robe, the first CinemaScope film had a separate academy version filmed, and then there's the The Bat Whispers, which also has separate 2:1 and 1.33:1 versions.

My 1.85:1 theatrical widescreen reconstruction DVD-R of the Gigantis cut is up on the 'Spleen now.

You're also forgetting my widescreen sync of the original dub of The Mysterians and BoxMonster's splendid King of the Monsters 2 disc release, which has a theatrical matted presentation and a ton of great extras.

Not sure if this is the best place to mention this, but I've recently synced the original, absent from DVD English dub of The Mysterians (1957) to a widescreen version. It's up on MySpleen as a DVD5 torrent right now.

The new dub is a 5.1 remix (with few intrusive new sound effects, thankfully), but the voice talents are all Anime dubbing people and they're really lousy in comparison to the talents of folks like Bret Morrison in the original.

Extraless VIDEO_TS version authored. Special/2-disc edition still in planning.

The English audio is the original HK dub, right?

Extraless .mkv version now available for download on MySpleen!

Main video has finished rendering (Vegas is pretty fast, only took two hours). I'll begin sending the .mpeg track over to BoxMonster for the DVD version soon. No update from the subtitler as of yet, but he said he should be finished in the coming weeks.

I guess I'm not too knowledgeable in the subject, I just assumed a show of this caliber wouldn't go unscathed after so many years. Aren't some of the newer airings edited for time IIRC? So yeah, stuff like licensed songs and whatnot.

I really hope they're able to work out the plethora of other licensing issues that plague the series and release it completely uncut. That would be icing on the cake, and I'd definitely buy it.
