My dad's all time favorite movie is Amadeus.  He thinks the Director's Cut is an abomination.

Anyone interested in a release?

Are you talking about a release with only Japanese audio?

vbangle said:

What about the other two movies in the trilogy? Are they screwed up as well?

Do we need dvdmike for those? ( Thank you dvdmike BTW, way out and above the call IMO for your time and efforts)

edit:  If you look at the last couple posts by drngr you'll see he's uploading 2 and 3.  I don't think dvdmike has the other ones anyway.

Mike: interpolated?

I can grab the source for II and III but I is long gone it seems. They are 18Mbps MPEG-2 from 2006.

Canal + or wowow? yes please 

Since he talked about a 18mbps bitrate, i suppose it's the WOWOW version.

I'd love to get these me too.

I'd rather not have WOWOW if it has burnt in Japanese subtitles throughout.

@ drngr

Check your PM's.

I love your signature:

The changes that George Lucas has made over the years to Star Wars is the equivalent of someone keying your car. On an intellectual level, you know that the car still works, and its only marred a fraction of a percent of the paintjob. On an emotional level, every time you see it, it's all you can focus on, and it makes you want to rip someone's face off.

I've had it for quite a while now and finally someone said something about it.

I am very happy to hear about this.  Are you guys planning on uploading it to MySpleen?  I've put off buying a BD burner for some time, but it looks like I'll have to get to it now :)

I continue to put off buying a BD burner because of the amazing x264.

Just curious, does anyone know if there's been an attempt to colour correct the awful green tint on the Fellowship of the Ring Extended BD?  I've been looking for something like this for a while now.

Thanks!  But that's way to complicated for me. :)

If anyone has a link where I can get a CC version of this, please by all means PM me...with much gratitude.

Harmy,

I know this is off topic but I wasn't sure you would check that other thread again.  Out of curiosity what do you like about the movie Titanic?  I can't stand practically anything up to the point it hits the iceberg.

What is rutracker? Is it a torrent site?

Yeah.

One of the best on the web.  Use Chrome to translate the Russian.

With Disney owning LFL would it be more possible to get a release of the Lost Cut?

 The same Disney that will never ever release The Thief and the Cobbler, and the same Disney that closed LucasArts and cancelled The Clone Wars?

 

 

 

 

.........maybe!

You forgot Song of the South.

Hey, I'm normally not one to be interested in the original cuts of Star Wars, being perfectly okay with the Blu-rays myself (Minus that awful new Krayyt call), but your despecialized opening crawl will be nice for my speech on the history of ILM. Just wanted to say thanks for giving me the chance to use a historical version of the opening crawl in HD.

You're welcome :-) Though I must say I don't understand how someone who's interested in the history of ILM can be happy with the BD version of Star Wars, which replaces like 90% of ILMs historically first ever work (academy award winning work, I might add) with CGI, which now has practically no historical value whatsoever.

Wow.  90%?  I didn't realize that it was that bad.

I love the first thirty minutes of Q2's Episode I; the extra dialogue cuts (no battle droid voices at all, less Jar-Jar, Anakin and Padme) and the removal of Sidious and the droids works in its favour.

I don't like how he changed the die-roll scene though, and prefer L8wrtr's edit from that point; a no-name pilot destroying the control ship doesn't work for me. I would have made a cut 'n' shut edit of the two, except the missing characters then show up out of nowhere.

I'm surprised at how much I like The Phantom Menace now, thanks to these guys. I try to avoid watching the other two, but I remember enjoying Stankpac's ROTS right after watching the DVD version and hating it.

You should try out Seciors' Episode I.  That one is a tie for me with Q2's as the best.  Stankpac's ROTS is still my favorite version of Episode 3.

I'm not sure. Somebody offered to up it there for me last time so perhaps it will happen again. 

Indeed, it's uploading right now to Usenet.

I thought I read that there are two editions of the JSC.  Are these from 1986?

Just came across this silly opinion article:

now obviously a young han solo as a girl idea is completely bogus... but the author may be on to something... Jennifer Lawrence would make a damn good daughter for Han and Leia in episode 7.

I think two is actually my favorite Back to the Future movie, which isn't saying much. About a year ago I went back and watched the whole trilogy and was thoroughly disappointed. These were some of my favorite movies when I was younger, and after not watching them in so many years, they came off as really cheesy and over-the-top. But I still felt the second one was a ridiculously fun revisiting of the original, and I really enjoyed the cross over. Three on the other hand, I felt was just silly through and through.

Part one is and always will be the perfect movie.  It's my all time favorite movie and I watch it at least once a year.  Thoroughly disappointed?  The only part of the trilogy that's disappointing to me is the future setting (2015) in part two.

ESB is available now.

Cool!  Your SW JSC made its way to usenet, do you think this will too?

Well, it's Frink, not Davdar.

When I looked on fanedit.info after he posted that, it wasn't there. Also, I didn't know what he meant by upload "list." Did he mean he added them to the RAR on fanedit.info? No. There was only one .dlc, and its links are dead. Besides, I thought Davdar was in control of that. Did he mean he uploaded them to MySpleen? No. None of those are NTSC, nor are any of them recent uploads.

You can understand my confusion.

 

Frink is going to upload them to Fanedit.info.  The 'list' he was talking about is various fanedits he's going to upload to Fanedit.info.  Davdar's could be further down the list so it could be a while.

chyron8472 said:

Fanedit.info has a .dlc file for RARs on Rapidshare, but all the links are offline.

I have added all three NTSC versions to my upload list.

For me this exchange between chyron and Frink was enough information but I guess it would have been better for you guys if Frink would have said he's uploading them to Fanedit.info which is where he always uploads.

I was trying to do more of this a couple of years ago, and I got really irritated with the judder that most converters produced when going from PAL to NTSC.  I'm not very technically savvy and couldn't follow that complex guide from Doctor M.  I preferred the cheating method with IFOedit, as at least my video was smooth when watched on a proper player, and it was easy for my little brain to do.  But I just now did a little more research, and it appears this little program might work miracles...and it's freeware!

http://www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Tools/CD-DVD-Rip-Other-Tools/D2MP.shtml

Everything I read about it says that it perfectly converts and brings the menus along for the ride!  I'll have to check it out for a few of those videos that I had to cheat with.

Can't find a tutorial and when I tried, it won't accept any of the files in the Video_TS folder.  Would be so much easier if whoever has the NTSC version of Building Empire could tell us where they will upload lol

I told you, Fanedit.info.  The links are dead right now, but like Frink said above they're on his list to upload to Fanedit.info.  So until he does that you're going to have to make do with those PAL versions. (or download the Vimeo ones with Jdownloader)
