Hi guys i am new to this forum. I found it, because i wanted to see again the lords of the rings movies(especially extended), but i was put down about how bad the quailty of the bluray is. So if you 44rh1n could give me the netflix version too watch for now, until either 4k blu ray release or you finish the Extended Edition Color Restoration by you and Dwalin, I would appreciate it very much.

A few things take note of:
-It has more detail than the official Blu-ray because of the lack of DNR
-BUT, it still suffers from some minor compression artifacting due to the fact that it's recorded from Netflix. I've hidden a little bit of the artifacting by layering a subtle amount of grain (it basically replaces the compressed-looking grain from the stream).
-The 60i to 24p conversion wasn't perfect, and for some reason the converted video had a little flicker on the very top and very bottom of the frame, so to compensate for that I cropped the top and bottom by 2 pixels each.
If someone has the hardware to do a true 23.976fps capture, please still do it! Otherwise, I think mine is pretty good for the meantime. (Again, feel free to PM me if you want it).
