At this point, I'm not sure if I should include the John Cazale documentary or some other stuff that I have. I have an E! documentary celebrating the 25th anniversary and some Entertainment Tonight news reports. I think I might have to include that instead of the Cazale thing.

It's one or the other. Unfortunately, I can't include both. :(


definitely include the television opening of GF3 though


That's not a question. That's definitely going to be in there.

...well, how would that be a fan edit?  It's just un-censoring the extended TV cut.  I don't know who would be interested in watching a censored version.


Most people would. The Saga is just a curio, a chance to see the films edited in a different way from the theatrical versions, with those added scenes, and in this case in HD. The minor edits to violence, etc. aren't a big deal, if you're that desperate to see those few seconds of violence/nudity, watch the original cuts. I doubt the Saga is going to be the definitive version for anyone, most people will be going back to the original films as that is how they were intended. There's not that much cut anyway, there was only one use of the f-word in the entire first two films, one instance of brief nudity, and they've cut a few seconds off some violent scenes. The dinner murder scene is left intact, at least. If you want an uncut version so badly, make it yourself.


Exactly. This compilation was made FOR TELEVISION in the 70's. If anyone wants to change it or do something different beyond that, have at it. But that's not a preservation anymore. It's a fan-edit.

Which is what you'd use the AMC shots for, right?  You could even use the AMC audio, just replace any censored parts with the Blu-Ray audio when necessary.


Well, then it wouldn't be a preservation and would move into "fan edit" territory, no?

That's an entirely different thread.

I'm here to preserve the original Godfather Saga as it aired.

Actually bluray writers are cheap and very popular now. However the trend is to streaming services. Bluray is on its way out.

For those of us in the USA, Newegg has a blu burner for $65 on sale. Come on guys no excuses.


Blu-ray on its way out? You're nuts.

Streaming can't compete with the quality of blu-ray. No way. No how.

Well, wouldn't it be best to take the Blu-Ray of I and II and edit it to match the AMC version, only leaving in the AMC shots when they're different?  That way it's uncensored, and in the best possible quality.

The downside would be that the AMC logo, instead of always being there, would only pop up for extended scenes/shots, disappearing for the rest of the movie, which could be distracting.


You would also have issues with the transitions for the flashbacks.

Remember, totally different edit for Part 2.

I'm not getting the 3rd part. No seeds at all. :( :(

Badboy...what are you referring to? I'm not doing anything with an mkv.



all the files i've gotten are in mkv, figured they were the same for you. i wanted to convert them into DVD5 but i don't know how.



Absolutely not. Mine are TS. They are full HD.

I assume you downloaded the 720p files?? How many did you get?

 


4 mkv files, one for each program. The first three are about 3 gb each and the fourth is almost 5 gb. You still need program 3?


YES! No seeders on ANY site for part 3!!

How could I get it from you?

@digitalfreaknyc you have any luck downloading that torrent? I'm still stuck at 1.68GB



I'm not a member of that group so I can't download it.

All I would need is the 3rd piece. I'd upconvert that segment from 720p to 1080i and we'd be done. *sigh*

 


you can register, i was able to do it easily all it took was an email activation. i can give u my login info if u can't register.


I tried registering. It wouldn't let me :(

I meant would it be possible to splice them into one uninterrupted film as opposed to ftwo discs ?


Uhh...that's what it is. All the commercials have been edited out. It's 41gb.

I'm not understanding the question.

downloading a torrent from a weird website, its 16 gb and it's frozen at 1.6, so i'd prefer to see this version in even better quality, especially with the rare godfather 3 opening.


Are you serious??? Where's the website? I'd love to be able to patch that one piece!!

How was the film quality / transfer quality on this? I was amazed that this would be shown in 16:9 HD...


I'd be happy to post some screenshots. It certainly looks different from the Blu release.
