What about the episode that was excluded entirely for Booker on the DVDs?

After closer inspection of the 4K version of Eat It, it seems al was barely able to remaster that video, as the film elements were in poor condition. It seems to be a one time thing that was apparently only done for his new movie. The remaster is also missing a sight gag where Al’s breath causes the camera lens to fog up.

I’m sorry for the abrupt cancellation. That was my mistake. Project is still underway, and I hope to have some things ready soon.

Also as a result of the video being in 16x9 (including the black bars), all of the optical transitions are now in the 16x9 frame rather than the original 4x3 frame (most noticeable with the final “eyes” shot zoom, but it occurs a couple of other times before too)

Anyone else have the FX captures?

Post em on archive.org they likely won’t get taken down.

Any old paramount dvd release with the widescreen banner on the bottom likely has the theatrical mix

Other titles
deep impact, black rain, Truman show, days of thunder

If you’re referring to the 2.0 tracks on those DVDs then likely they aren’t, Paramount created a lot of 2.0 downmixes of 5.1 tracks those DVDs had because at that time a lot of players weren’t 5.1 comparable and weren’t the best at automatically downmixing them

no some of the 5.1 's . I know the DVD 2.0 of Witness is a downmix cause it has the same SFX as the 5.1 and the LD has the original SFX.

Airplane and Grease had downmixes as well

Did Witness have new sound effects?

The theatrical Dolby Stereo 2.0 mix for Star Trek: The Motion Picture is on its laserdisc.

The Special Longer Cut on the complete adventure 4K set essentially has the original mix too but is exclusive to that cut

The theatrical cut on the same disk is the same 7.1 track as before

does anyone have the full run of the FX captures?

I don’t need the SOAPnet versions because I already have those, but I am interested in the FX recordings, particularly with season 5

supposedly some alternate footage aired in that run for that season

I probably have some to all of S5 on VHS.
I don’t know offif they would be like the SOAPNet or FX or maybe neither.

Can you PM me what you have?

Jim’s Marios is still edited on Amazon via Paramount+ - I assume the regular Paramount+ version is edited too unless you can confirm otherwise?

Edit occurs at 18:05 - all of Alex playing the piano, singing etc. is gone

I guess that’s the unfortunate acception because P+ is edited too

Do you have a TV capture of that scene by any chance?

I’ve seriously never heard this before

project is cancelled

the entire show run was added to Paramount+ as of February 2023, all episodes are uncut too (minus the Taxi Celebration clip show episode which is still two parts) so the original versions are no longer exclusive to syndication or old network recordings

From Turbine’s Facebook:

"EXPERTS WANTED!

Maybe some of you have already heard: We are now working on a Blu-ray edition of THE A-TEAM. As KNIGHT RIDER has shown, this takes time, so please don’t misunderstand this post as a release announcement. But to make this thing perfect, we’d appreciate the support of fans and experts, hence we wanted to reach out as early as possible. If you know THE A-TEAM inside/out, if you know details about cuts, edits and other changes and whatnot, then please contact our label manager Wolf Jahnke via email at jahnke @ turbine.de.We want to put together a small team with which we can create the ultimate edition. If you know someone who might know someone, you are of course welcome to link in the comments.We would be very happy about your support, because we love it when a plan comes together 😉"

Where would I possibly contact them?

I wanna inform them about the issues with Quantum Leap, particularly with the missing footage for Trilogy: Part 2 and Evil Leaper II

the new 4K master of Cinderella is glorious

unfortunately the mono mix is excluded

Funny how just two years ago the theatrical cut finally got its first HD physical release with the 4K remaster, even has the original Saul Bass logo for both cuts

I guess the only thing that would still be worthy of this version is it does have the original stereo mix, since the 4K only has a 5.1 track (not that it’s really revisionist to begin with, it appears to just be a remixed version of the stereo track)

The 2006 DVD is the best one if you want any official copies

It’s split across two disks but is still a significant upgrade over the non-anamorphic single DVD from 1998

Edit

Just thought I ask didn’t think this question through because even if they were out there the effects would have to be updated and that would be taxing work. so Buffy is doomed to be stuck with that awful hd remaster because Disney hates buffy fans and fans of the fox catalog as a whole. It also doesn’t help that joss whedon isn’t in the greatest light now. 😦

Hulu and other services use the masters for the international DVDs, meaning seasons 1-3 are in 4x3 and seasons 4-7 are in widescreen but just simply expand on the sides, they also don’t have DNR issues and all of the color filters are intact

Now if you were talking about the movie, that actually would be plausible if a print still existed

no lol

This title never got a DVD release in the US unfortunately but has cropped up now and again on TV broadcasts, most recently a couple of years ago on TCM. I know a rip exists online somewhere and I was hoping someone could possibly give it to me or acquire it.

Yes, but more are currently airing on Comedy Central UK, including:
Eating Contest
1-900 Beavis
Water Safety
Figure Drawing
Butt is it Art?
Manners Suck
Radio Sweethearts
Killing Time
Safe House
Beavis and Butt-Head’s Island

I wonder why they stopped though

So the end credit outakes are in none of the home versions?

Charles Threepio said:

Actually, they are in some home versions. Even the 3D Blu-ray, unless I’m mistaken, has them as a special feature, because I know a true 3D version is floating around on the web somewhere, having seen it for myself.

Most of this is correct. The DVD & 3D version have the outtakes. The 3D outtakes, however, are part of a separate bonus feature (instead of being part of the main feature, like the 3D re-release prints) as the credits there utilize the same credits seen on D+. The original DVD is the only way to get the original outtakes with the credits. Yet even then, the DVD credits are slightly edited to remove any Technicolor or PixarVision credits. You can also find them on specific Latin American tv airings, as several low quality videos have surfaced online providing footage of the credits, which will give you a good example as to how the DVD credits are edited. Here’s one example, with a kid annoyingly humming and clapping to the song playing: https://youtu.be/DGVK-hGUWqY

You are partially correct

The full screen DVD has the outtake credits as part of the main feature, the widescreen version has the regular first run credits that the 2D BD also uses

You guys seem to be interested in the “snow cones” censorship part of the forum. Well, here is a comparison of both the 3D blu-ray & the 2009 blu-ray:

As you can clearly see, the censored version (right) loses the detail of the snow cones as seen on the uncensored version (left).

If you can’t see the image, go here: https://imgur.io/a/QhGfpiY

Are the snow cones really censored? What am I seeing that they don’t want me to see there?

CloakedDragon97 said:

Why were the snow cones changed?

My guess on that, they didn’t want it to look like someone pissed on those cones.

I’d hesitate to call this actual censorship. Seems like some kind of rendering error or something. If it was really meant to be censored then why were they still including the original DVD in combo packs with the initial Blu-ray release and why would the texturing return in the 3D release which came AFTER the initial Blu-ray? I’m pretty sure this is some sort of mistake. When Disney intentionally alters something, they are pretty consistent about it. Those cones look like unfinished animation. If they were concerned about them looking peed on then why not just change the color altogether? The dialogue makes it quite clear that they are snow cones so why would they intentionally remove the obvious snow texturing?.

That’s what I was thinking too, a literal error
