These look amazing! Is there a higher bit rate version of both FOTR and TTT available that eliminates the banding and blocking artifacts?

Yeah i’ve noticed this too, he probably used a lossy BDrip as a base for this project, it’s a shame since his results look so good

Just watch “The Precious Editions.” He uses a version of Dre’s with the full Blu-ray bit-rate.

Where would one get access to those?

How come the bitrate is so low compared to the proper bluray/remux? Your TTT and fellowship regrades video files have less than half the bitrate and are also half the size

Was no proper lossless Bluray/Remux used as base for the regraded version here?

If you need a Remux as a base simply contact me.

How do i know which version i have? V1 V2? The filenames dont give it away

Can’t wait for an update on this project!

Wouldn’t it be good if someone took your work and upscaled it with Topaz AI to 4k similar to how DrDre did with the theatrical blu ray releases? Since your versions here seem now to be the definitive versions of the Extended Editions so far

Sadly the bitrate is very low compared to the bluray/remux, why didnt you use one as a base?

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.

If ROTK Extended 35mm doesn’t exist, how come there were 35mm screenings of the whole extended editions then?

I am not sure if this is intentional, but here’s the difference between Dremastered extended vs. theatrical for those curious:

Imho he should’ve used the color grading from the theatrical cut as reference for his algo for the EE aswell, this new grading looks rather funky

It is entirely messed up.

It looks better than the official 4k release for sure, but as the original vision for this fanproject was to bring the films back to their original vision and grading there is just no way around using the theatrical cuts grading since that one is the original grading the movies had even in cinema.

Furthermore since DrDre already took his swing at the theatrical cuts of the movies and made them the definitive version to watch, one would presume he would somehow incorporate those or at least use their grading as reference for his rework for the EEs aswell.

Perhaps that’s even what he meant when he said that he is reworking part 1 of Fellowship EE

Indeed. I currently watch the precious editions.

What version are those based on?

Huh?

The “precious editions” as i recall are a recut of the movies, but are they based on the blu ray, remastered blu ray, 4k blu ray or other release ?
