Somebody just needs to capture the Japanese laserdisc and release it. Isn’t it the best quality official release?
Make sure you remove those black bars used for Blu-ray compliance when you grade the final version because the black color will vary throughout the film if you don’t and it will be very distracting.

Looks like all currently databased Toy Story LDs are letterboxed. I wonder if one of them includes original theatrical audio.
The TPM BD was zoomed out during the conversion to 3D, which is why it seems less cropped. It’s technically not cropped enough compared to prior releases.
Will this thread take into account 35mm film scan sources as well?
Spoiler alert 😉

It was taken down. Try Vimeo if you can.
My friends have been reaching out as well and have proven unsuccessful too. I’m hoping somebody will turn up soon.
So Funimation announced that Super (and Kai: The Final Chapters) is airing on Toonami in January, but Toonami Asia is also airing an entirely separate dub made by L.A.-based Bang! Zoom Entertainment in the same month.
Is anybody in that region able to record and capture it whole it airs? I would like to preserve the audio, lossless if possible. It will likely never get released on home video, which is why for Dragon Ball fans it’s important to preserve this from the get-go.
^You guys should remove the link from your quotes aswell.
Ha! Thank you. Done.
The same way everyone else does. Send TV’s Frink a PM.

It’s not working. He keep sending me naughty pictures of himself. What am I doing wrong?
😃
You have to reciprocate. That way he knows you’re the real deal.
Neverargreat the curiosity is starting to kill me. Can you show us your take on this frame from your blu ray correction?
I second this. This frame was one of the most pleasing to look at when DrDre was testing his color balancing/matching algorithms.
cybrsage, I want Adywan’s Star Wars Revisited (NightStalkerPoet’s Nearly Pointless BD-25 720p) seeded, please. [LINK REMOVED]
Don’t post links to myspleen on OT. It’s against the rules.
So the main sources are the Blu-ray, poita’s scan, the 2004 HDTV version, and custom matters?
Also, do you think the recent caps of the WOWOW 2011 version would be of any use over the Blu-ray, or even averaged with it?
Poita, is there any reason why your latest upload of Reel 1 is only playing sound out of the right speaker? I am not familiar with film captures so I am not jumping to any conclusions about it here, but my speakers are only playing the right channel. Is it possible I got a corrupted download? Is it something else? And yes, my speakers play other things just fine.
Looks like shots of Movies 10/11. A double feature, perhaps?
I would love to see Toy Story color corrected with laserdisc audio. At the risk of showing my (younger) age, Toy Story was the first movie I ever saw in theaters. I watched the hell out of my VHS tape as a child and I distinctly remember the colors looking like that viewmaster. The Blu-ray butchers the grading completely.
Since this technically would be a “Despecialized” version of Episode III, the audio options would be limited only by the number of dubs we could find for the film.
In regards to the audio options, a theatrical “reconstruction” of ROTS would have several options:
DTS-HD MA 5.1 Theatrical DTS CD
Dolby Digital-EX 5.1 2005 DVD Mix
DTS-HD MA 6.1 2011 Blu-ray Mix
Dolby Digital 2.0 2002 DVD Commentary
Dolby Digital 2.0 2011 Blu-ray Commentary
Dolby Digital 2.0 Rifftrax Commentary
Dolby Digital 2.0 Spanish Dub
Dolby Digital 2.0 French Dub
Dolby Digital 2.0 Backstroke of the West Dub w/ subtitles
Oh man, please somebody scan the theatrical version of AOTC. If nothing else, somebody can use it to despecialize the DVD/BD versions. Although, I would also love to watch a film version of it instead of the digital version that everybody has seen.
Williarob, in case there are too many folks for a private message thread, I would like to suggest creating a Discord channel as a backup. It’s functionalities are quite versatile and you can choose to make it invite only.
Thanks. Looking at the description, I noticed that the audio appears to be Russian (only?), which would mean sourcing an English language track from a theatrical version…
The theatrical DTS CDs are out there to download. They’d probably be the optimal choice to use, although I see the desire for wanting to use the print’s optical track.
I don’t think the Super Mario Brothers have access to them.
Sorry to take this out of the appropriate thread, but how will this affect Adywan’s edit?
I’m just hoping Adywan finishes his edit in time for my dad’s birthday next year.
Why not create a giant PM chain and keep us updated there?
I have some other suggestions:
I think the English mono tracks for Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back should be LPCM 1.0 instead of DTS-HD Master Audio since there is little difference in quality and/or size and LPCM has increased compatibility compared to DTS-HD Master Audio.
I also think that the English 35mm Stereo mixes should be Dolby TrueHD instead of DTS-HD Master Audio so that there can be surround matrixing similar to the LaserDisc audio.
Dolby TrueHD has this Dolby Pro Logic capability but for DTS-HD Master Audio, I’m not sure.
There was apparently something called DTS Stereo which was used on some LaserDiscs and theatrical releases but I’m not sure if it can be used in the modernized DTS and DTS-HD codecs.
I also think that the alternative English LaserDisc mixes should also be in Dolby TrueHD, if it is still allowed in the 48MBps bitrate limit of Blu-ray.What do you think of the isolated score being in LPCM 2.0? Already posted about it but barely anyone replied to it.
I second this
I know it’s off topic, but I’d love to see a scan prepared for that episode II print, Towne.
More on topic, this is a great idea for a project, Andrea. Are the currently available HDTV versions of any use to maybe average out the different captures?
