I just bought the Region 4 DVD of A Goofy Movie from Australia,
and let me tell you, it's so much better (the film transfer) than it is here in the US. Using several of my handy dandy ripping tools I created my own personal transfer of A Goofy Movie that is actually a downconversion from that very excellent Region 4 PAL transfer. It is NTSC, 16x9 Enhanced, 1.85:1, and is presented in an enhanced Dolby 2.0 Surround PCM track.
The audio track has also been enhacned for further surround activity and has a more active low end. (Below 150k) If you like this movie, it's pretty darn cool! I might post some screenshots of it later...(I have to figure out what program Luke uses to capture DVD images at such a consistant quality for his DVD reviews...) I have done some comparing to the original Full screen and the movie HAS been cropped from 1.85:1 to 1.33:1.
I created it myself by using 2:3 pulldown techniques using FlaskMPEG and several other programs. The soundtrack IS NOT SPED UP like the region 4 release, because of this pulldown. I'm also usually very critical of transfers, but this transfer does blow the original FULL SCREEN (which was just ok) out of the WATER! (This is because the PAL widescreen transfer was a better transfer to begin with and was also higher resolution.)
For more information on why it looks better...find any given post by deathie mouse.
There are no other special features on the disc, and nearly the entire disc is used...3.9GB. The original NTSC R1 transfer is only 3 GB for the movie
and 3.5 GB of special features. Contact me through e-mail if you are interested in more information.
Anyone who's interested in information about how you can make your own, or anyone who'd like to see about getting a hold of one (if you already own a legal copy and can prove it with a picture...) post a reply to this thread, or better yet, send me a personal message....
