The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (Extended Edition) (2001-2003) - Page 92 - Blu-ray Forum

I don't mind the new color timing. I always had problems with the FOTR's color timing anyways. The shire was too gold, Moria and Lothlorien too blue. By TTT and ROTK they were doing good with Color Timing, but its obvious FOTR was their testing and learning ground.

How do we know that these are actually from the EE blu-ray? I hope they are not.

The internet told us so, and the internet is always right.

I can confirm that the little white spec is on the EE disc... And the color difference is there to (as I mentioned a while back). These do appear to be grabs from the actual EE disc.

This is the one I'm referring to:

they are NOT from the blu-ray.
They are from a low bitrate rip of the blu-ray, which popped up on the internet yesterday.

Looking forward to the release as it approaches. LotR is a great trilogy.

...still going to wait for individual releases though.

There has never been an extended individual release to date, like there have been for the theatrical.

The DVDs were all released individually in a book style format.

frogmort · 06-09-2011, 07:34 PM

Yes, I bought these individually when they were released:

Goldengirl · 06-09-2011, 07:36 PM

I'll probably be one to just stick my Blu-rays in them, too.

The Apocalypse · 06-09-2011, 07:37 PM

Well, let's wait and see till it's release... Own the EE's on VHS, thought they were amazing, and should be even better on BD.

Heh, didn't know about that... Did a comparison of one of the shots with the actual disc, and the ones being posted are slightly softer, and a little more 'contrasty' than the actual disc (i.e.: the disc looks better).

Yes, I agree with this too, and 'The Council Of Elrond' being way, way overdone in this regard.

I would really like to see a new screenshot of this scene to see how much they adjusted it's color.

It now looks like a sepia photo taken with an early 1900's camera

Romansh · 06-09-2011, 08:14 PM

I don't know whether I like the new color, but at least they got rid of the "oil painting" look (particularly obvious in the first screenshot - 58213).

I'm no expert but the added detail looks believable to me, i.e. it definitely looks as though it's less filtered than the theatrical editions, not more. It can't all be just "added noise".

No. Just look at the feet… it's consistent wit the rest of the screenshots.

It could be that x264 (it's a re-encode, not the original Blu-ray) spent too much bits on the feet and not enough on the ring. You do see hints of detail on the ring; with any luck, that detail is actually present on the source Blu-ray.
