Well, since “Forest of Pikachu*” wasn’t originally intended for the series, it won’t be part of the series. However, I do intend on including it as a bonus, complete with the OP and eyecatch in the style of Episodes 1-38.
*4Kids called this episode “Pikachu’s Goodbye”.
Okay, I have finally extracted all the RAR files from the Despecialized Edition of the first movie. The application that helped me is called UnRarX, and the final result was exactly as I wanted it to be: 2.35:1. I would like to thank SnooPac for providing me the link for UnRarX in a private conversation. Without SnooPac, I would never have been able to extract the RAR files in the first movie. Now, I know what to do when I extract the RAR files from ESB and ROTJ.
I believe the VHS version actually has a different ED than my TV version. I want to say the one on the tape is “Pocket ni Fantasy” and the one on TV is “Nyarth no uta”.
I can hotlink my MP4 privately, but not here (forum rules).
It’s all right, I plan on using “Fantasy in My Pocket” at the end of the episode for a Pokémon fan project I’m working on called, “The Original Intended Run”. This will be my attempt at making the Indigo League arc as it was originally intended to run. The first 38 episodes will be exactly as they originally aired on TV Tokyo. As for the rest of the episodes, the footage themselves will remain the same, but the opening theme, as well as the eyecatch will be in the style of the first 38 episodes. I will also try to follow the intended broadcast schedule as closely as I can. The Original Intended Run will also include the movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back, as it was originally supposed to be, meaning no prologue. However, the prologue will be shown as a separate video, which I’ve created using the footage from the Original Theatrical Version of the movie, as well as footage from the English dub of the ten-minute short added to the movie for the Kanzenban version. I call this twenty-minute short, “The Birth of Mewtwo”, after the radio drama of the same name. I have already finished the Original Intended version of the movie, as well as The Birth of Mewtwo. I don’t know when I’ll get around to doing the episodes themselves, but I’ll let everyone know once I do get to them.
Then, I guess the only way left is to get an ISO image of each movie.
That was the problem with iZip. I couldn’t drag the file into the folder I wanted.
Sounds to me like you’re either missing a file or two, one/multiple ones are corrupted or incomplete downloads, or you’re somehow performing the unpacking process incorrectly.
What programs have you tried using, and what’s the process you used with these programs?
I’ve used…
-The UnArchiver
-Dr. UnArchiver
-iZip
-WinRAR for Mac
I tried to follow the instructions as closely as I could, extracting Part 1, but with The UnArchiver and Dr. UnArchiver, I always got an error on Part 6. WinRAR for Mac wouldn’t open. As for iZip, it did, indeed, work, but the problem with iZip was that I didn’t know how to move the finished file to my hard drive.
It was a series of RAR files. I tried every application possible, but there was always an error. iSFV said that nothing was wrong with my files, but I still got an error with every application I tried.
I downloaded the 20GB release of Episode IV, but couldn’t extract it because no applications worked, so I had to download somebody’s re-encoding of each movie.
I am using my MacBook Air. I guess the cropping must’ve been due to some kind of error, maybe.
Well, at least it’s possible to filter the logos out. Also, I’ve got a copy of the episode without any logos at all. This was ripped from the VHS release of Pikachu’s Summer Vacation, the short film shown before the first Pokémon movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back. I’ll just replace the VHS rip with the TV rip once I get around to it. Thank you.
The primary source of the ‘despecialized’ versions are from the Blu Ray videos. If you are looking for versions of any of the Star Wars Theatrical cuts that have more picture information, you’re best bet is to look for the fan-made 4K versions–‘4K77’, ‘4K83’, and ‘Renegade Grindhouse’ of ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ as ‘4K80’ is in production. These 4K versions are available in UHD and 1080p. The sole source of these versions are made up of scans from multiple 35mm theatrical prints. Although there is cropping in these versions, too, the final releases do have more picture information than the current Blu Ray versions.
Then, should I just upscale the version from the 2006 DVD print?
Um, what are you talking about? Star Wars wasn’t shot in CinemaScope. Where exactly have you heard that Star Wars was filmed in CinemaScope?
IMDb said so, 2.35:1. If that doesn’t prove it, I don’t know what does.
The Despecialized Edition seems to be cropped from the movies’ original CinemaScope ratio because I noticed that some of Greedo’s subtitles in Episode IV, as well as some parts of the credits went off the edges of the screen. I am a person who likes to watch everything in its original aspect ratio, so do you know where I can find a Despecialized copy in the original CinemaScope ratio? Thank you.
Hello. I am wanting to make a fansub of the Pokémon anime as part of my rebellion against censoring animation. Right now, I am just focusing on the Indigo League arc. For the first 37 episodes, I plan to use the Original Broadcast Versions (OBV). Of course, Episode 38 only aired once, so it’s already in its OBV. As for the rest of the Indigo League episodes, I plan on recording them off of Amazon Japan. However, there’s one episode that I am confused about when it comes to Amazon Japan and that is the Christmas Special, Jynx’s Christmas*, which was originally intended to be Episode 39, but was delayed due to the epileptic incident caused by Episode 38. Bulbapedia claims that Amazon Japan uses the re-edited version from Pokémon Smash, which changes Jynx’s skin from black to purple. However, I have looked on Amazon Japan and the screenshot for the episode clearly shows Jynx in her original design, how she’s supposed to be in that episode. This is why I am creating this topic so that we are able to see this episode how it originally aired on TV Tokyo, without any on-screen logos whatsoever. If you could tell me where I can find this episode that way, then that would be great. Thank you.
*When 4Kids dubbed this episode, they called it, “Holiday Hi-Jynx”.
Quick question, and I’m not asking this to be mean or to bully you in any way, I think the answer will genuinely help us to better communicate with you in the future - is English your first language?
English is, indeed, my first language, although I do want to learn Japanese someday because my entire life revolves around Japan. In other words, Japan is my absolute favorite country in the whole wide world.
I mean, come on - even if you thought a tool that will automatically restore footage and edit it back into the movie for you was possible (which kinda makes sense considering you still seem to think someone will just do all that work for you despite multiple people telling you multiple times that it won’t happen and you need to learn how to do it yourself if you want it done), the Last Jedi quote had to be a dead giveaway…
I don’t think that anymore. As for the tool, I was just curious if I had to do the processes manually or not.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Oh, I see.
Troll officially detected.
Okay…what does that even mean?
Please just wait for the next DrDre’s tool: it will automatically restore deleted scenes, integrate them into the movie, upscale them to 4k and recolorize them in HDR.
And besides, this tool will be compatible with Mac OSX.PS: it even seems that it will be able to possibly fix The Last Jedi.
Okay, when will it be ready? Also, will I have to do these processes manually?
Hello. Could you please let me know when the deleted scenes are finished? I have found a color correction tool by DrDre that can match colors. Thank you.
Hello. Is this tool compatible with MacOS? The only laptop I have at the moment is a MacBook Air and I am wanting to make an Ultimate Edition of the Star Wars saga with this tool, complete with some scenes that were cut from each film. Thank you.
Hello. I now have the official Blu-Ray set of not only the Original Trilogy, but the Prequel Trilogy as well. May I please have a copy of the Respecialized Edition of Star Wars Episode IV? Also, can’t wait for the Respecialized Editions of Episode V & VI.
After an extended break, I decided to pick up Series 1 again which is requiring more work than Series 2 and 3. This is mainly due to the VHS yellow line transition effects which merge into the DVD episode footage which has to be done frame-by-frame and recently deciding to remaster the audio separately with Audacity just like I did with S2 & 3.
I’ve just finished Episodes 1-8 (Thomas & Gordon AoS) and will begin the remaining episodes as soon as, then my project will be done. If I can get these done by the 35th Anniversary (9th October) that would be nice.
I’m also still open to any better sources anyone can offer me to use, such as higher quality original masters from from DVD sources, etc.
If anyone wants to see what I’ve done so far, PM me.
Hope there will be a nameboard sequence in between “Percy Runs Away” and “Coal”, but still, can’t wait to see this.
Identically. Save for just one word in the Sorcerer’s Apprentice intro (in the draft it’s “wrote his music,” but in the dub it’s “wrote the music” instead) it’s all the same.
I think another word may have been changed from the Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria intro. On the VHS tape that I own, Deems Taylor describes Ave Maria as “immortal”, whereas in the DVD version, he describes it as “world-famous”. I’m not sure whether Deems Taylor says “immortal” in the original roadshow version, but I think the VHS tape implies that he does.
Hello, I’m looking for the upscaled deleted scene from AOTC when Obi Wan takes off from Coruscant aboard this starfighter after talking with Mace Windu, if anyone among you will have that it would be the savior of my project, PM please me
Wow, looks like I’m not the only one who wants the deleted scenes from the Prequel Trilogy restored along with those from the Original Trilogy. Now, I’m not sure if the deleted scene you’re talking about is even upscaled, but I heard that it’s available on the Episode II DVD. It might also be available on Disc 7 of The Complete Saga on Blu-Ray, but I’m not sure.
