Thundercats Mumm-Ra lives (Amazon capture needed)

[Booshman]

I've been informed there is a tv version of Mumm-Ra Lives on Amazon. Edited down from the first 3 parts of the 5 part series. It has some scenes not present and a special title card not including the "part 1" present on the individual episodes.

Amazon have no doubt been sent an incorrect master, and I would like to preserve this version as I was unaware it existed until now.

If anyone has amazon and can help me get this captured, please reply, thanks.

Just noticed this thread and was gonna offer to capture this for you but it looks like you already got it done...

Since you have it, let me ask you this:

Is it just me, or is the quality REALLY sub-par for this on amazon? For me, it played at 480p - 59.940fps BUT the frames were blended all over the place (not due to weak connection/hardware on my end) and the entire thing seemed to be full of macro-blocking due to the compression...

The rip I got is comparible to the DVD's I have, but they aren't great to begin with. There is frame blending that isn't there on the DVD's though, dunno what that's about.

I'll be using the DVD as the source to reconstruct it. I'll just be getting the title card and the audio from the rip.

Ok, so it wasn't just on my end and it appears that the transfers for this were actually sub-par to begin with... I don't have the DVDs, but by friend does, and I wasn't impressed. It's a shame that so many 80s cartoons have gotten such poor treatment

Yeah, they used broadcats masters instead of original elements, so the episodes are really inconsistent. Raning from decent to really crappy. The colours episode to episode can be all over the place.

Interessant!!!
