UPDATE

• Episode 6 - different take of R2 and 3PO entering Jabba’s palace

Test clip - taken from a BD documentary - * 30s, 37.9s (download link valid until 2017-02-02)
https://fs10n4.sendspace.com/dl/538f88a69d03e3605777640c35f63dd3/58448bc41a4806dc/xkiz11/test3.ts
(left the russian audio, just to be the clip werdiert than usual!)

i don´t like them.it´s a behind the scenes view and not necessary for destroy a complete scene…my 2 cents 😉

SCENES THAT WILL NOT BE USED

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

• Vader Vs Obi Wan Duel Rinzler ebook (00:22) ***

???vader vs obi wan??? i can´t remember…there was maybe a jedi mindtrick on me…

• Daily Vader Throttles Captain Rinzler ebook (00:50) ***

which captain??

• Lapti Nek extended song laserdisc (02:48) **½
  Low quality 4:3, will not be good enough if cut to 2.35:1, even if enhanced; plus, if used, any CGI Lapti Nek should be removed…

lapti nek in empire??new wampa version…😃

^…^ said:

Strange, can be true… but not worse than EP4 CGI Jabba - any version! 😄
I do think that is a nice “alternate take” to add to the project, that is becaming not only an “add deleted scenes to get a longer version”, but more as an alternative version…

will this version 4?

^…^ said:

UPDATE

• Episode 5 - Darth Vader and Luke encounter is “enhanced”

Test clip - used a pan & zoom take instead of a static take; taken from DVD menu - 31s 40MB (download link valid until 2017-02-02)
https://fs11n5.sendspace.com/dl/fac5571146edd406be71a6272b8ad7f9/58445e6973bc22d0/wkr8i4/menu-test2.ts

feedbacks needed!

looks strange but good… 😮

As for the additional scenes being added, there are complications for certain. I am with benduwan, I would love to have the most complete edit possible.
Thank you for doing this. I have always wanted to see as extended a version as possible. I too care much less about quality and just want to see a complete extended edit.

thanks for your support.maybe he can do two versions.

There are two versions of Luke and C-3PO in the up close speeder with the fake backdrop. One scene was found in Empire of Dreams. It starts a little sooner and carries a bit of dialogue not carried in the version found on the BDs. It is a different take.

i combine that in my edition.watch closley.
you will be a great help for andrea to search more stuff darth.

and thanks andrea for making my dreams come true.
thanks a lot.

I think DVD menus are the same all over the world - there are three (or four?) each, and they appear at random AFAIK - but I’m pretty sure there is a way in hardware player to choose (or change) them.

Foreign language: this is a thing I’m thinking about since the beginning… it will be hard just with the english track, so I thought to use only that. I’d like to add subtitles for the whole movie + deleted scenes in other languages, but it will be really hard… 😦

maybe a german fan can do that. laserschwert? or others…😃
i´m not so technical…😦

i think there was a landing scene at tatooine from EPVI by change the menu in the german dvd…but don´t sure…
will all the movies have german language with german subs in the deleted scenes?
and do you add the sandstorm scene in EPVI?i like them…😃

I know this might be odd… has anyone tried the color match tool on similar frames that have been reduced to black and white, then applied the algorithm to the deleted scenes? I understand it probably won’t work, but worth the try.

To which color matching tool do you refer? That could be helpful for me 😃
I uploaded another test, the trailer for ANH. I wrote a new script, hopefully it can come a bit closer.

Welcome aboard! Yep, it will be a HUGE help to the project!

I want also to thank benduwan; he let me discover the rarest deleted/extended scenes and shots ever seen (or unseen?) before!

Oh, didn’t see this. Wondering if he got some of these from me. He was really interested in my project.

no problem.i´m happy i could help.what you do is a long time dream for me.
thank you very much.

Maybe a * raw * edition - with every scene left untouched (apart unfinished/animatics ones) could be surely done, but I don’t see the point to release it, at least in HD though, taken in account the low quality of many scenes… maybe just for fun, but I don’t think anybody will waste time and hard disk space to download 150+GB of almost-all-parts-are-HD-apart-added-deleted-scene fan edits…

make 720p.it´s less the 150gb 😃

^…^ said:

Thanks to everyone; any advice is appreciated!

Updates:

• DVD extended scene 4 “The Air Taxi sequence” was actually inserted in the DVD (HDTV/BD) and so I thought it’s useless, BUT… there are few seconds more at the end… what if I take the following shot from LD (which is the non-faded version of the one found on DVD etc.) and attach it at the end? I will “gain” two or three seconds… not much, but, following the mission of this project, it could work! Test clip (download link will expire on 2017-01-27): https://fs11n1.sendspace.com/dl/aabdea1c995e1d05c6e17682b5498ff0/583d3201350ad49d/0ba6c8/EP1_deleted_scene_04_.mkv - just a rough cut, LD is just simply upscaled and not cleaned at all, done just to see if it could work; it seems so! ** OPINIONS, OPINIONS! **
• now I have an LD shot, unused, that was on the theatrical cut only; OK, only 4 seconds included the wipe, but it’s still a nice shot: https://fs13n5.sendspace.com/dl/dde5773428c32938c9bf74dd74c5d067/583d3add08fc454d/laoqe3/EP1_LD_shot4.avi (download link will expire on 2017-01-27) - rough, first part of the wipe could obviously be replaced with the needed one; music missing. ** SHOULD I PUT IN THIS, TOO? **
• first post updated with these, and previous, clips and info

put in,put in,all what you find.
i like to see all of the missing scenes.i don´t care the quality.
thanks

The BD has better quality, and it will be used as main source; others only if/when needed; even if it’s true that OT scenes are “rough” and would stay better with the theatrical version, this project aims to incorporate as many scenes as possible, so I’ll use BD version as main source - it’s a fan edit, after all, not a preservation… still don’t know how good the final result could be; maybe it will lead the project to be split in two, one with the best possible quality (so it’s implicit some scenes will be discarded), and the other with all the scenes… “the more, the merrier” (^^,)

Updates:

• EP1 DVD deleted scenes clean and upscale task is almost done - just extended pod race grid should be encoded.
• Tested EP2 shot present in the teaser #3, incorporated into the proper scene; video is cleaned, upscaled, and a rough color correction is done; audio is “surrondized” to be 5.1, but, apart this, is untouched (needs correction, though); test clip: https://fs02n3.sendspace.com/dl/7ebc87526146b4b2a86789d5ba3cb21b/583c7daf5badb6f6/0t31z8/test1b_.mkv (download link valid until 2017-01-26) - I think that, once properly corrected, it * may * work! *** OPINIONS NEEDED! ***

i like the longest one with every missing frame in the movie!

work someone on a Clean-up and restoration of deleted scenes?

Ordinarily yes I might share it freely online, but I run BookOfTheDead.ws, which uses masses of Evil Dead Trilogy material on the goodwill that it isn’t slapped with a copyright suit. Up to now that’s never been an issue (and I know other ED sites have had one or more issues). Online sharing of this DVD would be outright piracy on a grand scale and indeed pushing my luck with the site which comes first.

Plus only trading it as a physical DVD set between collectors means I retain control over the quality. I can properly print off the cover & disc arts as I designed them (on the right type of paper, cropped accurately), use decent Verbatim DVD-DL discs that will last and put them in a proper DVD case. You know, give someone a complete package. I’ve taken a good amount of time to craft this DVD, been waiting years for some of the items there. I want this DVD to be as special to the person who wants it as it is to me. Not just another disposable download among millions others that you click>watch>delete just because it’s there & free. Sounds a silly thing to be bothered about but there you go.

any chance to get it?

is there a easier way to convert pal to ntsc or ntsc to pal?
i´m not so technical…
thanks

There are several all in one programs that will do the conversion, but results will vary, you probably won’t have the original menus and it takes a human to analyze the source to know the proper conversion method.

can you tell me a good software?
thanks

do anybody know where i can find the Evil Dead 2 Full Mexican TV Version?

http://www.bookofthedead.ws/website/evil_dead_2_versions.html

it´s on myspleen now

Is it the entire movie? The version discussed in your link is missing 10 minutes of footage in the middle, and only YouTube-level quality. If a better version has surfaced I’d be ecstatic.

it´s the same as the link
