Well it's official Disney Chief Nixes SOS. and I Qoute from Disney Fan Website Laughing Place.com

"Iger States Disney Does Not Have Plans to Release Song of the South
During the question and answer session, Iger was asked regarding the future of Song of the South. He stated he had recently screened the film. And was concerned by some of the depictions and how they would be received. He stated that they have made the decision not to release the film."

to quote Red Foreman "Dumbass"

Not sure if this is the exact beginning. It starts out with scenes from Aliens and a voice says "For over fifty years the sole survivor of the ill fated freighter the Nostromo drifted in space". The last thing is Ripley holding Newt and saying "Close your eyes baby" Then Red Lines come down over the scene like a venitian blind turning into a red box. The picture shrinks into a blue background then stops shrinking and holds while music from the movie plays on . The red graphic starts to peel up from the lower right corner then the words VIDEO PRESS PAK appear in large letters at the bottom. The picture fades to black.

Well I found something that might be of interest. It was a short promo "Video Press Pak" For Aliens. Interveiws with Sigourney Weaver, Stan Winston, James Cameron and Gale Ann Hurd. I recorded it off SelecTv an early Pay Tv Network. Quality is ok as we are talking early VHS but it is a bit better quality than the CBS Tape I had. Let me know if you want to look at it for the project..

I have the Cover Art and Insert for the Legacy Bonus Disc. These did not come with the disc. I had to download them from some website (don't think it was an official site). I can Post it here if it is OK.

I do not think that the Aliens CBS cut belongs to the mix. It is not a documentary and its picture quality is below our standards. I think that this should be a stand-alone disc "on request".

I agree, It should not.

I'm not sure what you are looking for but setting V2 worked best on my equipment. It was smoother than V1 or V3

I'd love to see a fan version that gives us the widescreen video of the DVD release along with the original soundtrack.

I would love to take this on but I have not been able to find a practical way to add a 2nd audio track to a dvd. I have 3 versions of this movie. The original VHS and both of the DVDs. If anyone could point me to a simple solution?

Did any one catch the UHD Broadcast in HD?
How does it compare with the DVD?
I have not yet found the DVD set so I can not compare it with MY HD recording.

I have two items of interest. A promo for Ghostbusters than ran on HBO, not sure it is on any of the releases. I have the Ray Parker Video from the NBC Show Friday Night Videos.

The Promo is called "on the scene with Ghostbusters", interveiws with most of the main cast.
The Ray parker video in in pretty good shape, Typical VHS quality.

Let me know if this is of any help.

I snagged one from a GB fan site, but I'd rather not have to resort to using its pixilated goodness if I there's an actual source I can capture. If anyone can point me to a DVD, laserdisc, or even a pre-recorded VHS tape, it would be appreciated greatly.

I think I have this somewhere among my videotape collection. I will check later today and let you know

Also, can you explain to me the few details unknown to a guy from non-English speaking country? It is not a joke, I really do not know nothing about the TV channel. In the LD archives they mention both CBS and ABC abbreviations. What is the connection between these two?

ABC in the us is American Broadcasting Compay
in Australia it is the Australian Brodcasting Company

CBS is the Columbia Broadcasting Compay it was part of a family (Columbia Pictures Columbia Records/ Epic Records in the US now owned by SONY) CBS TV is owned by Viacom (Showtime/ MTV etc). Columbia had distribution rights with FOX for a while. the early home video versions of Star Wars were on CBS FOX VHS and Beta.

It would sure be nice if I could get a copy of these. Been waiting for them to upload at my spleen, But with the recent announcement by the MPAA of cracking down on torrent sites I don't think they are going to make it.

The Transfer of the CBS version to Dvd is complete. It is a basic transfer (no menus) of the original 3 hour CBS broadcast complete with intros and commercials. I lost track of who is doing what, Who needs to gets this ?

Ok the good news 1st. It is a master tape and it is about almost 20 years old. I recorded it from the broadcast. That's the good news. The bad news is that it is almost 20 years old, it is fragile. I recorded it at EP speed not planning to keep the tape but just to time shift. It's on Goldstar Brand (Now called LG) which was not known for Quality. Since it is from Broadcast (I did not have cable at the time) the picture is not Crystal Clear but compared to most of what I have seen around it is not bad. At least it is a master 1st gen copy. The other problem is the Audio. It was recorded on a VHS Hi Fi Deck but that deck is history. Today when I play that tape back in HiFi on the decks that I have, it will not track properly with out too much distortion. So I may only be able to dupe it in Mono. I have 6 vhs units and have tried it on 4. So Far none of the units I have will play the tape in HiFi with out distortion (A perfect example of why you should only record stuff in SP mode) . I have 1 more HiFi vcr to try before I give up a HiFi Dupe. I will try my other deck today. Let me know if you are still interested.

Video on Demand has a short with Pop ups ala VH1. It shows scenes from the movie and has a pop up bubble with info about the film such as, the location, the actor, the sets etc.
I can get you a copy if you need it. Just need to know which format you need.
