Has nobody seen Adigitalman’s movie version of this excellent Genndy cartoon series?
It’s a great lead up to SW episode 3 Revenge of the Sith!

And one more thing,
where’s the blu-ray for this cartoon!
Hi Silverwook:
Can you track down that guy who did buy the Ewoks movie films and ask him if he would like to participate in a digital film preservation project?
https://www.bd-cine.com/fiche.php?id=16318
Those films will deteriorate and be unwatchable eventually and then no one will be able to get an HD version!
But, not like the SW holiday special. That SW show must remain as an obscure DVD fan preservation for the sake of humanity.
If the D+ “Empire of Dreams” documentary is upscale in parts and HD in parts, then would somebody be able to swap out the upscale scenes with fan edits like Harmy’s despecialized or the fan SW film preservations?
That was a really good, thorough SW documentary!
Even The Beginning documentary showed a lot about the production process (warts and all) of the Prequels unlike any SW documentaries in this new Disney sequel era.
The Beginning documentary would be better seen and preserved in HD, too.
More fun hobbies for SW fans to keep busy with!
I wonder if Adywan knows about this for his SW Revisited projects? He just picked up the 4K SW boxset this week!
If I get what you’re saying is that season 23 episode: “Holidays of Future Passed” was supposed to be the final episode of all The Simpsons if all the voice actors walked off from their contract negotiations?
https://screenrant.com/simpsons-ending-final-episode-holidays-future-passed/
Did somebody already say that you could do this final Simpsons season like X-Files, where the 1st episode and every other other episode would be continuity stories that show how characters develop or die along the way to lead to the final episode? And then every other episode would be the best of the Simpsons shows after season 23 or something?
I have hardly watched The Simpsons since Phil Hartman has been gone. Not the same show to me.
But I would watch this final season!
I’m not sure if the Simpsons: Embiggened fan edit project would also be helpful in making sure that the Simpsons episodes are unedited?
http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/The-Simpsons-Embiggened-Edition/id/55848
I just read Zarius’ post on this thread.
Maybe, the Simpsons has more than 1 final episode like “22 Short Films About Springfield” 21st episode of 7th season?
I could not find Zarius Simpsons movie fan edit on fe info, so I would like to see that if it could be a possible final episode for the “final season” of The Simpsons,thanks!
This looks awesome!
The Age of Resistance reached new heights for puppetry!
I enjoyed that show a lot and look forward to new episodes with
a possible Garthim War.
Put me down for the list of people that are keen to watch your fan edit.
Thanks for doing this!
PS
Is there anybody still working on a fan edit for Dark Crystal
that uses the original soundtrack that has the original Skeksis language?
Would the TV version like Jorge’s fan edit movie version of Duel?
Are you talking about the Uncut Total Recall- The Mind-Bending edition USA Region 1 BD, director approved version? Or are you looking at making an extended cut version of Total Recall. I bought this version, but I haven’t watched it yet. I forgot all about it until I saw this thread. My recall is not so total.
I agree. The theatrical version was way better than the uncut explicit version. I would definitely watch your repaired theatrical version when you’re done. Thank you!
I am watching this one with great interest.
The Harryhousen Limited Edition BD collections from the UK are just too expensive to me even though these discs are chock full of extras. I hope you can keep up with your Harryhausen project!
Coolness!
I was reading about how the last avatar anime was up-scaled to 720p and colour-corrected, but I have not figured out how to do it myself.
Or even Neat Video stand-alone or video edit plug-in can be used for
up-scaling and some digital noise reduction.

And then there is AVCHDcoder for simple BD menu-making of HD video and
audio.
Thank you davextreme!

None of these audio files have been sync’d with the new DYRL BD video. The new BD DYRL does have the Director’s cut 5.1 audio from the last BD with its edits, the Special Edition Dolby stereo PCM audio and the theatrical MONO PCM audio.
I have the LD audio files, but the files have not been sync’ed up to any video because I was waiting on what was the latest DYRL BD. The new DYRL BD is 13.9 seconds longer than the Director’s Cut DYRL BD due to video branching and so any LD audio files or subtitles sync’ed to the Director’s Cut DYRL BD would need to be adjusted for the longer video.
http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=43028&page=6#entry1253218
This new DYRL BD has all the bells and whistles I was hoping for minus the English Dub and English subtitles. It has mono, stereo, 5.1 and commentary soundtracks (Japanese only). It has branching video for theatrical and special edition versions with the deleted scenes fully restored and further upgrades in video quality. My copy of the DYRL BD is awaiting me at the post office to confirm the audio quality in comparison to the LD audio files.
In one way, I am a little bummed out that I spent a lot of time and money in preparation for this project, but at least someone more qualified and official made this BD happen and very likely did a way better job than I ever could.
I can package the non-sync’ed LD audio files as is and upload to Mega for next week.
Perhaps, I could do a simultaneous viewing video of each version of DYRL from Special Edition DVD to the newest DYRL BD to see if there is any room for improvement of video or colour by mixing and matching video?
Or maybe just put together the abominable Clash of the Bionoids HD restoration?
Not only is the new DYRL BD unedited, but the original mono soundtrack is on the disc, too. So, it looks like this project is closed. Good news for the fans because the director actually did listen to the fans!
An updated DRYL BD will be sold in January 2016 through Amazon Japan or CD Japan. Supposedly, this new DYRL BD video will have improved video and will include a director’s commentary. No details on what audio options will be included with this DYRL BD. English subtitles do not look to be included, but I keep hoping.
Also, there are no details for this DYRL BD on whether the two blurred scenes will be included as a non-blurred extra or re-incorporated back into the movie.
I did put in my pre-order for this new DYRL BD, so that just delays this project a little bit longer. In the meantime, I need to figure out how to get all the un-compressed video files into lagarith RGB 10 bit avi because that will allow the colours to be accurate and prevent compression errors for final encoding into an mkv or BD.
The current DYRL BD video is :
Format : AVC
Height : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16:9
Color space : YUV
Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0
Bit depth : 8 bits
Scan type : Progressive
The remastered DYRL DVD video is:
Format : MPEG Video
Bit rate mode : Variable
Bit rate : 7 912 Kbps
Maximum bit rate : 9 800 Kbps
Width : 720 pixels
Height : 480 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16:9
Frame rate : 29.970 fps
Standard : NTSC
Color space : YUV
Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0
Bit depth : 8 bits
Compression mode : Lossy
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.764
There is a discussion on the Macross World forum about the re-issued DYRL BD.
http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=43028
So far, there has been noted that the DYRL remastered DVD video is much sharper
in some scenes than the 1080p DYRL BD.
Has anybody gone into detail to compare the remastered DRYL DVD video with the
DYRL BD?
I might need to do a comparison video for myself with remastered DVD, theatrical DVD and
the DYRL BD.
Minor update:
Computer problems and hardware testing have been causing the delays on this project.
I still need to re-do the up-scaled theatrical DYRL DVD video, but just for those two scenes and not the whole DVD up-scaled. With Mediainfo software, I saw that the DYRL BD is actually YUV 8bit video. I thought RGB video was the standard for HD video?
The last DYRL DVD up-scale done was made as an RGB 8bit lagarith video. I need to match these videos before editing. Also, I might have to re-do the uncompressed BD video (300 GB) as well because I would like to get the 10 bit video encode feature on Tmpeg encoder working.
For the last month, I was having issues with my editing desktop computer when the main C: SSD drive would seize up for no obvious reason. This week, I finally figured this problem out by closely studying the Asus Z97 deluxe pro motherboard manual. Then I saw that the C: SSD was connected to an Azrock sata connection instead of an Intel sata connection. Switched the SSD to intel sata, installed and enabled Intel Rapid storage storage software and enabled intel rapid storage in the bios and it's good and stable.
Then I was also able to add in another SSD to my desktop as a Temp file placement for Sony Vegas. I tested Sony Vegas 480p encoding and it went very smoothly without locking up.
But, the video clips used for testing were from youtube: Flash Gordon Greatest Adventure (9 parts). I am not sure if every video clip has the end audio faded in the first place or if it is Sony Vegas enabling the automatic Quick Audio fade feature to make every video/audio clip have a 1 ms. I have to read through the Sony Vegas manual to disable the Quick audio fade and then double check the video file by using a different video editing software.
I noticed that Sony Vegas and Audio Forge have a time stretch feature for audio editing, so I can look at fixing the DYRL Audio Drama LP (4 parts) into one audio file to match the video. The DYRL LP is in mono and sounds more like the original version of the theatrical DYRL than the LD.
I was interested in seeing if the DYRL LDs could be captured as hd files for preservation / restoration / colour-matching.
I tested out two different video capture boxes for X0 LD capture from DYRL LDs: Blackmagic Intensity Thunderbolt and El gato game capture HD via Crystalio II hdmi out. Intensity can make 720p Quicktime (uncompressed) mp4 video, PCM lossless audio captures. El gato can make 1080p x264 (compressed) mp4 video, ac3 lossy audio captures from LDs. So, I now have the option to mix and match the video and audio or try up-scaling the 720p uncompressed to 1080p.
I did read in one LD forum thread on orginaltrilogy that the video capture would be better using the SVHS video output from the X0 rather than the composite because the X0's inherent superior 3d comb features. I have to see if I have the right cable connections for the svhs video to hook up the X0 to the Crystallio.
One small problem in LD video capturing is that the captured video is not centred, it's slightly skewed to the right. The Crystalio II has a feature to manually move the picture to the left, but I have to play around with how far to the left to centre the video properly.
It does not look like I will be able to present a de-specialized DYRL theatrical video to this year's Macross World convention for next weekend.
Here's a cool fan project about finding out the true story of David Prowse's exclusion from Star Wars and making a short mini-movie of putting him back into the final reveal scene of Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi.
Congratulations on finishing up this Star Wars movie project and your great job opportunity!
That worked. Thanks!
Cliptoolz is no longer available. I'm not sure why.
Would somebody be able to make it available? Thanks!
Would the Transformer G1 cartoon restoration have something to do with inverse telecine?
Considering so many SW editions have to be re-edited into theatrical cuts, I do wonder if an Attack of the Clones IMAX theatrical cut will be done by a fan and included in your set?
The spleen or in a pirate cove.
