Dude, you grain scrub and upscale, that isn’t restoring, that’s further degradation lmao
I noticed that some of the dubs (i think the spanish dub) has additional sfx, specifically the SDF-1 Telemetry/ambience inserted into the “all clear” bit after hikaru took down Bo Dolzer, as that scene lacks bridge ambience from the macross.
Would love to have a flac link
i’d love a link
For those interested i have since released the lost pilot as apart of THE APOLLO DUB ARCHIVE, Enjoy.

So this is kind of multiple requests in one, There’s been a user on YouTube uploading various film mixes of the original trilogy, prequels, SE and some other films, including mixes for Various trailers of the OT. (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3_qQGrDciz0vxE6YFxO6Lg/videos)
I Was wondering if anyone has completed a project like this but in a lossless format, as I’m interested in Film cuts of music and preservation of that kind of material. If so could you possibly DM me a Mega link or what have you.
The second request is a flac version of “Special Extended Dance Remix of LAPTI NEK” As this (to my knowledge) is the ONLY release of the film version of lapti nek to any capacity, as it uses the original Stems & such, Although remixed (Not including the fancy man instrumental used for the 97 radio drama of ROTJ), And imo is an extremely underrated album.
If you’re interested, i have friends who deal with VCD Preservation (i help run a server partially dedicated to it)
The Star Wars Audio Projects section of the An Index Of Projects & Help Thread for Star Wars Preservations… may be of help in narrowing down your search mate - or hopefully point you to what you are looking for.
For some reason ABC’s fine work came to mind when I read your post - it could be worth checking out his projects? Good luck with finding what you are searching for.
I ended up finding the project i was looking for, and it turns out it’s either unavailable, or was never released (https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/JOHN-WILLIAMS-Star-Wars-Episode-VI-Return-of-the-Jedi-RemasteredRemixed-Edition-Released/id/14606/page/3#1398070)
If you happen to have this or know someone with it in flac, please tell me.
i’m also looking for the club & dub mixes of latpi nek in lossless form
Hey guys, when i use to be active here on the forums a few years back, someone had release albums for New hope, empire and jedi, but included i believe the remastered soundtrack, some of the alternate cues that have popped up on other soundtrack releases, And i think some of the LP rips like the old lapti nek album, and i think some isolated score from the dvd’s. i cant find any of them, dose anyone have these archived (in flac preferably)?
I actualy own this dvd (just arrived thismorning actualy) its no longer being sold as its creator craig who ran white lion restorations passed away in 2012, with his wife no longer taking orders from their site, i was thankfull enough to grab a copy off of ebay along with the complete series.
Dose anyone here have acess to the 5.1 mix and wouldent mind DMing me it? ive got the most recent bluray release but no way of ripping its 5.1 mix.
I know, right? I don’t think there’s any better than the R1s for that right now, is there? (Since that series was kind-of a dud, although wasn’t it Michie Tomizawa’s first major role?)
There actually is a R2 Japanese DVD release of Southern Cross (which has been long out of print so you’ll have to get it second hand from somewhere like Yahoo Japan Auctions) but I’m not sure how the quality on the Japanese DVD version compares to the ADV R1 release, personally I’d assume the Japanese release would be slightly better since the Japanese DVDs probably use the original 16mm film negatives for their source as opposed to the nth generation copies ADV had to work with, that and the fact that Japanese companies usually tend to put forth a great effort to try and make high quality releases, I’ve actually been wanting to get my hands on the R2 release for a while now to see how the two versions compare I just haven’t had the money to get it (I may be getting a job soon so that may not be an issue for much longer).
sadly that is incorrect, the JP dvd set is worse than the adv set, chroma bleed, nigh noise levels, basicly taken straight rom the broadcast masters (or degraded copies atleast) the ADV set attempted to fix them but overall ruined them, removing most colors, leaving mostly heavy blacks and blue tones throughout the episodes, ive attempted to color correct the ADV set but it simpily cant be done, and the japanese rellease will cost you arround 500$
Like I said previously I didn’t know what the quality of the R2 DVDs were like and just assumed it would be better since it was a domestic release in the country of the shows origin, who knows in the right hands it might actually be somewhat salvageable and turn out to be better than the R1, highly unlikely but you never know, I’d actually like to see a good comparison shot between the two DVD releases to see what the differences are.
sorry for the late response

id say the japanese set is the better quality, sharper image, and could be corrected
i have the Macross 20th anniversary DVD (i dont belive it was a commercial product, but a disc sent to rental stores for repeat play) witch has high resolution versions of the PS1/Saturn DO YOU REMEMBER LOVE/ Ai Oboete Imasu Ka cutscemes.
You probably know already but Night Trap recently had its original source negatives found and scanned for re-release. They basically “remade” the game and it looks gorgeous. There’s a clear demand for projects like that but movement on any of them is little to none unfortunately.
negitives dont exist for night trap, they where lost, they sourced the final timed video master for release
edit: didnt realise the post above me, sorry

TF dosent need restoring, all you need is the mono audio mix and the maverkick DVD release (using broadcast masters)
Robotech was been restored using the japanese Macross blurays, and the DVD release of southern cross, SMBSS has been restored and posted t oyoutube (its an excelent attempt)
^ Just curious, but why don’t you have the ADV dub for Megazone 23?

Another update, os ive gotten a laserdisc deck, a CLD-D780, and while playing my megazone discs, i found out they have a voiceless audio track, that will come in handy along with adv’s 5.1 mix, in reconstructing the audio mix, it also means i can present deleted scenes without voices, Should i include on the bonus disc, the original megazone 23? with japanese and voiceless audiotracks? or throw in the Streamline dub in there aswell, im also planning an interview with kerrigan mahan (who played mark landry) and am considering asking him to provide his voice for the ending, giving RTM the original ending to megazone 23.

the goal is 600 due to the southern cross set being so expensive, tho i may consider gettign the cheaper 100$ laserdisc set (since i now have a player) but im worried about them being damaged in shipping, and the shipping alone to get them into australia.
i realy appreciate any donations!

Both films were entirely shot in Northern California, so I don’t see how Jabba’s palace could have been reused, as that set was at Elstree in England. (And probably torn down when ROTJ wrapped production in 1982.) There’s also nothing remotely like Jabba’s palace in Caravan of Courage.
ah, i know their is some “castle interior” that i thought resembled jabbas palace
didn´t have " return of the ewok " deleted scenes too?
ROTE didnt have any scenes of endor
You might be able to use a quick shot of the Scout Walker pilots …
Good suggestion!
I guess with some very good sound editing the pilots could hear the catapult firing and the grenade falling.
That way no need for matting or extra shots.Perhaps if I use the classical bomb falling whistle and have the pilots react to that?
i can assist if need, since audio work and foley si a passion of mine
