@ FrankT - If you are trying to acquire it from the public tracker then I can't help you, but there is an alternative I can help you with if you PM me

[FrankT]

Never mind, I'll manage.

[FrankT]

Say, are you considering remastering other "xerographed" Disney titles?

[FrankT]

I mean, I'd love to see the original Winnie-the-Pooh films remastered like this. Did your sources release similar titles for such a project?

[jerryshadoe]

Actually, about a year and a half ago or so, I started a MASSIVE project involving "the new adventures of winnie the pooh" series (in SD) AND the original "winnie the pooh" films (in HD) and have been slowly working on it. I have multiple sources for it (in some cases, as many as eight) that are nearly all "damaged" to some extent or another. What I mean is a lot of them had incorrect transfers from NTSC to PAL that resulted in frame-blending PLUS a lot of the episodes have a logo, (but since I have so many sources, I am able to de-logo the episodes via a "patch") but ALL of this has been extremely time consuming and, at times, super frustrating. The various sources also have slightly different colors, so I have to color-match everything as well. To make things even worse, the framing between the sources isn't always the same (changes as often as from shot to shot) and in the case of the "patch" for the logo, there are times where I have to do frame-by-frame corrections. With each episode being around 22 minutes, that's over 30k frames PER episode. There are 65 episodes, plus a couple of specials, and the original films, therefore we are talking about going through about 2.3 million frames (!) As a comparison, "The Matrix" film is about 200k frames, so I'm basically working on about 11 full-length feature films worth of frames, hence the reason it's not finished yet. Add on top of that, the fact that it gets so tedious to work on that I frequently have to work on something else to avoid going "stir-crazy," the numerous other projects I have going on, plus a little thing called life... LOL

There are a LOT of people waiting on me to finish this one (I still get "bombed" with PMs at OT and a few other places where I have mentioned the project, asking me about it's completion) including my daughters and I'm hoping that I will have it finished before the end of the year, after I complete the "easier" projects first

[FrankT]

I'm pleased to hear about the project. Presumably the original films are their own individual state instead of the "Many Adventures" compiled feature?

[jerryshadoe]

I can't stand the compilation feature, since I grew up on the original short-films being in their individual states and this is what I am working on as a part of my "winnie the pooh" project

[FrankT]

Even better! I wouldn't have minded either way, but that's an added bonus. Looking forward to it! How far along are you?

[jerryshadoe]

Not nearly as far as I want to be

I'm hoping that by the end of this year I will have the project completed. Sometimes I am too much of a perfectionist and I might have to make some compromises if I ever expect myself to finish this. When I finish up some of my other stuff first (which I want and have to do, due to HDD space being an issue) I will start a thread here, once I have resumed work on the project

[titanic]

Oh, wow! I didn't know that The Many Adventures was comprised of 3 previously released shorts!

So, that's why I didn't like it!
