Product Information

But is it worth the cost of this box set just to get the new content? No, it’s not… not in any way, shape, or form. No special features. Disc 20 – The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers – Extended Version, Part 1 (4K UHD) For more about The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy and the The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Blu-ray release, see the The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Blu-ray Review published by Kenneth Brown on June 17, 2011 where this Blu-ray release scored 5.0 out of 5.

The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Blu-ray delivers great video and reference-quality audio in this excellent Blu-ray release For more about The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy and the The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Blu-ray release, see the The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Blu-ray Review published by Randy Miller III on November 17, 2021 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5.Next, choose your output folder on the left-hand side and press the "Make MKV" button. It'll take awhile to rip, but when it's done, you'll have a big ol' MKV file on your hard drive--with the first half of the movie. Rename it to FOTR-D1.mkv and put it in a folder wherever you want. I created a folder on my desktop called "LOTR Re-Color", where I recommend storing all the video files, audio files, and scripts you end up creating for this project. However, the previous Blu-rays don’t hold a candle to the new 4K UHD presentations, which exhibit visibly greater and more refined detail in almost every instance in which I’ve compared them. The difference is more obvious on a large display and is dramatic in many scenes. When seen on a 110-inch front projection screen, it’s not even close. So if you’ve read somewhere (in some unruly discussion forum online) that DNR has somehow “Ruined the 4K remasters!” I challenge and encourage you to buy the discs and look for yourself. When you compare the three versions directly, you’ll see that it just ain’t so, Joe. So, with the help of a few extra plugins, I added some dithering to fix the problem (represented by the Gradfun3(thr=1.3) line at the end of the script). Now, scenes with gradients look much more like the original Blu-Ray. Since these remastered Extended Edition Blu-rays include the same new Dolby Atmos mixes as their 4K counterparts, separate evaluations of each one You'll need to create four text files for this process: a "Curves" file, which holds the color correction information; an AviSynth script, which runs the commands; and two "qp files", which will help us remove the pause in the middle of the movie.

Obviously, and like many of you who are enthusiastic fans of these films, I personally own most or all of the above—which collectively take up an entire row on my video library here at The Bits’ HQ. Note that audio on the new theatrical Blu-rays is included in English Dolby Atmos (7.1 Dolby TrueHD compatible), French 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, Spanish 2.0 Dolby Digital, Czech 5.1 Dolby Digital ( Fellowship only), and Polish Lektor 5.1 Dolby Digital, with optional subtitles available in English for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, French, Dutch, Chinese ( Fellowship and Two Towers only), Korean ( Fellowship and Two Towers only), Spanish, Czech ( Fellowship only), Danish, Finnish, Greek ( Fellowship only), Norwegian, Polish, and Swedish. Quality-wise, these Atmos mixes are identical to those found on the previously-reviewed 4K UHD release. As for 3D not taking off, that was partly bcuz the format was introduced the year following the release of a hi dad format and people were unwilling to plunk down more money so soon after upgrading. With the introduction of Blu-ray in 2007, New Line and Warner Bros released the theatrical versions of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King in high-definition in 2010 in The Motion Picture Trilogy box set. ( Reviewed here.) Colorized movies? I agreed until seeing Legend Films and what they did to "It's A Wonderful Life"; "IT Came From Beneath The Sea"; "Earth VS The Flying Saucers"; "20 Million Miles To Earth"& The 3 Stooges. Looks like they were shot on Kodachrome and was most impressed by the final results. My daughter will never know the b/w version of Wonderful Life, so that should lift your spirits.editions, with the caveat that they suffer from the same (and occasionally excessive) use of digital noise reduction as their 4K counterparts. No special features. Disc 26 – The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King – Extended Version, Part 1 (4K UHD) documentaries and featurettes included here again on creaky old bonus DVDs. Hey, it's better than nothing -- the so-called "Ultimate No special features. Disc 15 – The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring – Extended Version, Part 2 (4K UHD)

Lastly, give the resulting movie a filename in the Output File box at the bottom of the window. I used like FOTR-FINAL.mkv. If, instead of a video preview, you get an error, make sure the correct plug-ins are installed and that you did everything else correctly up until this point.All of that aside, you do at least get one new bonus Blu-ray Disc in this set. So here’s what is included on it extras-wise… Disc 31 – Special Features So in the end, I suppose Warner’s new Middle-Earth 31-Disc Ultimate Collector’s Edition4K/Blu-ray box set is sort of recommended, but only for casual to semi-enthusiastic fans who care only about the films themselves. And you diehards need only apply if you really, really absolutely must have the new bonus disc and price is no obstacle (in which case you can add this box to your library with every other edition that you’ll still probably want to hang onto). And as for that genuinely ultimate and as-yet-unrealized Middle-Earth box set, I’ll simply quote Gandalf: “There never was much hope. Just a fool’s hope.”
