Digital Destruction	comment	Ah, the Remaster—a wonderful thing, really. Take a piece of older media and clean up the picture quality, restore faded colors, get the hisses and pops out of the soundtrack, and offer three different screen sizes and two different surround sound mixes. However, it's a time-consuming process that's expensive and requires careful attention to the master records of the original. If possible you may even coordinate with the original creators to preserve every important detail. Digital Destruction is when attempting to update the viewing format of a work results in dramatically altered images or sound mixing that results in a loss of detail. Among possible issues include: Alterations to the Aspect Ratio that loses visual information. Skewed color timing creating a persistent tint to the overall footage. Excessive use of restoration tools or widgets that muddles skin tones and black levels. Attempts to update the work with modern styles and maximize use of modern viewing formats that result in details being lost even though the image format is bigger. This often comes about because of the tendency to want to just get the stuff out as quickly as possible, all with a "digitally restored/digitally remastered" label stamped on it. Or worse, they didn't even know what harm they were doing to begin with; often the available tech is deceptively difficult to get good results from. As anyone who actually understands digital image processing will tell you, things like noise reduction and grain removal are actually really hard to do without at least some loss of detail (which can range from subtle to distractingly obvious), to the extent where preserving film grain is almost universally considered the better option among videophiles.note At least in the west; in Japan, audiences tend to prefer removing the grain to "modernize" the visuals, to the extent where preserving it is bound to result in massive backlash over there, thus resulting in grain removal being a very common move in anime remasters. Digital Destruction comes in several forms and can vary-from over-sharpening to flat-out erasing lines of artwork in cartoons, removing whole sounds or dialogue, oversaturating the colors, patterns (fuzzy electrical patterns scattering around an image or drawing), increasing the contrast, overzealous grain-smoothing that unintentionally gives the picture a smudgy, synthetic appearance, cropping 4:3 content to 16:9 and losing important parts of the image, etc. Animation tends to be a particularly big victim of this when it does happen, largely because the reliance on fine details in both lineart and backgrounds lends to automatic processes very frequently mistaking these details for dirt and wiping them off. This happens with digital remasters of music as well. The most commonly known phenomenon is mastering at the volume levels of modern music, creating excess limiting and distortion that sacrifice the cleanliness, clarity and overall dynamics of the sound, but there are plenty of other destructive practices used as well. These include drastic alterations of the frequency equalizationnote (you know, stuff like bass, treble, mid-range and all those things you change with a graphic EQ) that don't suit the source material, excessive noise reduction that sucks much of the detail and life out of the recording (basically the audio equivalent of excess grain removal), and overuse of synthesized harmonicsnote (used primarily to emulate low and high frequency reproduction that wasn't possible with the original equipment) which replace the organic feel of the original recording with a cold, mechanical one. Naturally, this is a great source of contempt for collectors, purists, and even the common customer alike (the ones that are savvy enough to be aware of it, anyways). It's the total opposite of a "great" restoration, in a nutshell. The Trope Namer is this article from John Kricfalusi's blog, in which he feels the restorations of old cartoons are actually ruining them, rather than making them better. The specific issues he complains about result from over-zealous application of certain adjustments, namely color saturation and sharpening. Ed, Edd n Eddy creator Danny Antonucci has also commented on the issue (even though his works are more recent). Note that in some cases reported issues may not be because the remaster was botched, but because the wide variety of viewing formats may not be compatible with what is considered the optimal viewing experience. Expecting something to look the same on an IMAX Projector, a smart phone and a CRT TV is a lost cause. Compare Remaster. For the video game equivalent of this trope, see Porting Disaster. For the musical equivalent, see Loudness War. May also tie into Bad Export for You. In particularly bad instances of this, to preserve the way the footage originally looked you gotta Keep Circulating the Tapes. Also see Visual Compression, George Lucas Altered Version.

Digital Destruction / int_110d4471	comment	The second Blu-ray release of the original Predator (from around the time Predators came out in theaters) relied so heavily on DNR, the movie boasts no grain, and Arnold Schwarzenegger has a strange wax look at points. The premiere of The Predator saw the original debut in 4K Ultra HD, with a transfer that restored the missing textures and grain.

Digital Destruction / int_11e6bf74	comment	High quality versions of the FMVs from Sonic the Hedgehog CD were included in Sonic Mega Collection, but they were given new audio and sped up to coincide with it, resulting in insidious frame blending and ghosting, especially during the ending cutscenes. The developers of later Sonic CD ports didn't have access to the original FMVs (if they still existed at all), and previous versions of the game used low-quality, low-res video, so they had to use the edited versions — edited again to match the original slower speed, making the frame blending even worse. In addition, the 2011 remaster cropped the top and bottom of the frame from its original 4:3 to 16:9, and the cropped versions are used even if you're running the game in 4:3. A fan remaster of the opening animation corrects the frame blending issues, along with a color correction pass based on stills of the original production cels, but using the same process on the ending animations proved fruitless due to a far greater amount of damage. Thankfully, Sonic Origins gave the cutscenes a proper remaster using a combination of AI and manual cleanup, presented in the original 4:3.

Unlike other albums in the series, Aladdin Sane was pressed solely in Japan regardless of region (other albums had European copies made by PolyGram in West Germany), but used two different plants with different masters: CSR and Denon. The Denon master, featured on European copies and later American ones, is considered overly-muddy compared to the CSR master (used solely for early American copies) and the original LP, featuring a lower volume, reduced treble, and increased bass.

The European RCA CD, meanwhile, features an audibly congested low end, a trait not present on other releases. The initial version of the 2017 remaster, included in the Boxed Set A New Career in a New Town [1977â€“1982], featured an audible volume drop partway through the Title Track. Parlophone Records claimed that it was to obscure irreversible damage on the master tape, but eventually relented after further complaints and included a revised version of the remaster on replacement discs for affected buyers. This fixed version was also incorporated on the standalone CD, LP, and digital releases.

Digital Destruction / int_179029f0	comment	Shock Treatment has soundtrack issues on its DVD. In the original cut, the end credits are underscored by a reprise of the overture, and once they've rolled the screen goes to black for several additional minutes while the single version of "Shock Treatment" plays (inspiring a stretch of jokes about the void in Audience Participation showings). This was preserved for the original VHS release through Key Video (a sub-division of Fox's video arm in the 80s that mainly released cult films like this one, as well as newer titles, 40's films, drive-in movies, etc.), though they stuck in the standard FBI warning image before going to black, while Fox Movie Channel airings just cut the music-only stretch. The DVD release's soundtrack jumps ahead to the second half of the overture when the credits start, so the single version of the song starts up midway through them and fades out as they end, meaning that neither is heard at their original length. Making matters worse, the end credits â€” particularly the photos of the actors â€” are clearly timed to the overture in the original cut, so an amusing touch is lost on the DVD. Synching/transferring issues with the original music causes a very noticeable audio drop towards the end of "Denton U.S.A." on the DVD.

Digital Destruction / int_19a42c6f	comment	A Hard Day's Night has gone through at least two of these: The first was more Analog Destruction as it happened in 1982, back when film restoration was a new idea. Universal wanted to spruce the film up for a U.S. theatrical re-release that year, and those handling the transfer elected to convert the entire soundtrack to stereo on the theory that stereo is better than mono. (Modern fans of The Beatles strongly disagree, but the fandom was still redeveloping back then.) To cap it off, the restorers then threw out the original soundtrack, making a legit restoration impossible. There were then two further attempts to restore the film, in 1996 and 2001. The 2001 restoration by Miramax deliberately tried to "improve" on the theatrical release. While the use of a modern theatrical aspect is understandable (the film did briefly air in modern theaters), they could've made the original aspect available on the DVD. It used the controversial 5.1 speech/mono song soundtrack (by this time, stereo would've been the best quality possible due to the 1982 restoration). And while we can't be sure that 2001's picture is less faithful than 1996's (if we could, then we wouldn't need film restoration as much), it's clear that they're using different greyscale keys. The 1996 edition frequently has what looks like light reflecting off smoke in the air (which may or may not have been in the original); the 2001 edition removes that and deliberately goes for chiaroscuro. Thankfully, The Criterion Collection came to the rescue in 2014, releasing a 4K restoration approved by director Richard Lester on both DVD and Blu-ray. Not only did the release restore the film's original aspect ratio, it also contained a mono soundtrack.

Most egregious is in "Northwest Hounded Police" where in the shot of the map, the dot that represents the wolf convict is missing for two seconds (which is 48 frames/3 feet of film). Additionally, "Little Johnny Jet" has some awful clean up errors at the start of the cartoon during the "all they want now in days is jets!" scene. Not to mention, the transfers reuse audio from the Laserdisc release which causes Rock-a-bye Bear's titles to have PAL sped-up audio and "Billy Boy" incorrectly has "Cock-A-Doodle Dog"'s title music.

This in spite of the fact that the film was shot in 2-perf 35mm because it gave the film a more grainy appearance of a documentary.

Universal had the audio remixed into six-channel DTS by dubbing new sound effects into the original music and dialogue.note For example, the policeman chasing a criminal in the opening originally fired his gun three times, but this version has four audible gunshots. However, by the time Universal decided to restore the movie again, for its 2012 re-release and Blu-ray debut, technology had evolved to a point where they could remix the soundtrack while keeping the original sound effects.

Digital Destruction / int_23945975	comment	DVD and Blu-ray releases of the 1937-1989 entries in the Disney Animated Canon suffer from an odd variation of this. Rather than being direct re-scans of the master negatives, these releases are instead rotoscoped and recomposited frame-by-frame, color-corrected, and DVNR'd to remove any semblance of age — right down to the film grain. While this ambition is impressive in and of itself, the result is that each movie looks as if it's imitating the "look" of a digitally-animated film, and said imitation is a poor one at that, with finer details and entire pieces of linework being scrubbed away in the process of this visual pseudo-modernization. This Twitter thread by Stephen Duignan goes into more detail about the process and its repercussions. Say what you will about the current restorations of Alice in Wonderland, Bambi, and Sleeping Beauty, but as aggressive as they were they still came out beautifully and relatively faithful to the originals. Others didn't have quite so much luck, however...

Digital Destruction / int_261159e9	comment	In Oliver & Company, there is a Coca-Cola sign on Louie's hotdog cart. Despite all the deliberate Product Placement seen throughout the film, this sign is somewhat blurred out depending on the version of the film. In the 1996 VHS release, the text is blurred out in every shot it appears in, rendering the sign as little more than a red rectangle. On DVD, Blu-ray and digital releases, the text is intact, except in the closeup where Dodger steals sausages from the cart. This is rather peculiar edit, as unedited Coca-Cola signs can be seen at other points during the film. One of the only places where you can see the original closeup of the Coca-Cola sign is in the trailer of the film from the 1988 Cinderella VHS.

Digital Destruction / int_261c8d3f	comment	The pre-HD episodes of The Simpsons were remastered in 2014 for broadcast on FXX. The problem? While the picture quality of every single episode has been restored to never-seen-before HD, the frame has been cropped to fit a widescreen TV (with the exception of scenes facing a screen being pillarboxed), resulting not only in the frame being tilt-and-scanned, but also instances of the frame being physically shifted to capture key details. Others, especially those including text, are instead compressed, causing the opposite effect. These were also the masters initially used on the Disney+ release of the show, causing widespread vitriol among longtime fans due to the loss of visual gags, such as a scene from "Duffless" cropping out the single pipe from which three different varieties of Duff beer come from. Thankfully, the original fullscreen masters returned to Disney+ in May 2020 alongside an option to switch between original and "remastered" aspect ratios. However, the remastered versions are now usually the ones shown in syndication.

Digital Destruction / int_28c6afce	comment	Thomas & Friends: Seasons 1-3 of the classic series suffered from this when HiT Entertainment restored them. While some of the scenes are cleaned up and were zoomed out to make it clearer, others weren't done well. One particularly glaring example is "The Flying Kipper", where a majority of the shots are zoomed in. Season 3 zigzags this, as some shots are better, but often have something chopped off. Other issue is that the restored version might use different takes, or don't use them at all. Sometimes scenes are simply "color-corrected" versions of the late 90's analogue transfers. The most egregious example comes from the episode "Coal" when Henry is backing into a siding. In the original, Henry backs into the siding and Edward comes out of another siding to take his train. However in the restored version, an outtake is used where Henry backs into a siding and then quickly moves forward offscreen again. It's pretty evident the editor did not care about this outrageous example. While the sixth season was the first to be in widescreen, the first 6 episodes from said season are not. Some of the scenes from the episodes are done in 16:9, but the majority of them are done in 4:3. Because of this, the DVD release of the season cropped the first batch of episodes in 16:9, cropping out the footage. This also applies to season 7 and 8 when stock footage from before Jack's stories was used. The last seasons of the model series suffer from this due to the footage being in yellow.

Digital Destruction / int_2bbcacd9	comment	Happy about your Looney Tunes Golden Collection sets and Walt Disney Treasures stuff, as well as Disney's restorations of their films? If you're a hardcore animation fan, you probably aren't. The short collections by both studios frequently abuse the infamous DVNR process, which either thins out or erases lines of artwork. And while Disney's films don't use the DVNR process, they do have many noticeable problems— Bambi in particular has had the dark pumped up considerably, which destroys much of the original color contrasts. The Blu-ray release also has some bizarre color alterations, and some shots have obvious grain-smoothing problems. The Looney Tunes Golden Collection sets have a lot of issues with DVNR on the first 2 volumes. While most of the DVNR'd cartoons on volume 1 have outlines blurred for a few frames, some have outlines and art disappearing (Elmer's Candid Camera on vol. 1 has some particularly glaring art erasure that you don't even need to still frame to notice). Vol. 2 also used digital interlacing for a handful of shorts on disc 4, resulting in very flickery picture. Fortunately, a replacement program was issued for that particular disc. Fortunately, the Blu-ray Platinum Collection sets tried to rectify the DVNR on the last volume but still had some hiccups. Almost all the cartoons on volume 1 scanned in HD that had outlines blurred as a result of DVNR, seem to have worse cases of DVNR as outlines and cel work disappear (Bugs Bunny's fist in the scene in "Tortoise Wins by a Hare" where he's getting ready for the race is a prime example). Additionally, "Fast and Furry-ous" is DVNR'd like crazy on Platinum Collection, despite not having any on Golden Collection. Another issue on volumes 2 and 3 is that the cartoons with severe DVNR on GC or ones that weren't scanned in HD, were given new scans but had a much darker hue resulting in some of the cartoon's contrast being messed up. Also all of the cartoons on the vol. 2 Platinum Collection DVD have issues with digital interlacing. The first two of the single-disc "Looney Tunes Super Stars" DVDs include cropped 2:35:1 versions of shorts originally animated in the squarish aspect ratio of 1.37:1. The cropping job was rather lazy-looking. However, Warner Bros. got word of this and promised that later Super Stars releases would now contain an option to switch between full-screen and widescreen. Some Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts, Tex Avery MGM Cartoons, and Tom and Jerry shorts were restored for HBO Max, but these new restorations have some faults. The grain and colors have been flattened to make for easier digital cleanup (you know, DVNR) in the case of the Looney Tunes shorts, most of the cartoons have titles recreated with Adobe Photoshop and digital editing. The Tex Avery Screwball Classics Volume 2 Blu-ray disc was done by the HBO Max team since the Warner Archive team behind the first set were unable to work at their facilities thanks to the COVID-19 Pandemic wreaking havoc at the time. As a result, it has a lot of issues and is very disappointing compared to the stellar Volume 1. Most of the cartoons have DVNR issues (some varying from cartoon to cartoon). Additionally, "Magical Maestro", "One Cabs Family" and "Doggone Tired" have redone titles made in Photoshop (despite this, all three look amazing). Also, all of the cartoons on the set (with the exception of "Droopy's Double Trouble") reuse their Turner audio tracks. "Ventriloquist Cat" seems to be sourced from a poor transfer and "Homesteader Droopy" has very poor color correction, ruining the opening scene. With that said however, "Drag-a-long Droopy", "Field and Scream", "The First Bad Man", "Dixieland Droopy" and "The Farm of Tomorrow" have no issues and look amazing and despite the issues, the set is still worth getting for "Magical Maestro" alone. Prototype versions of "Falling Hare" had DVNR (as seen in special features.) This was fortunately fixed for GC Vol.3. The early Merrie Melodies short "I Wish I Had Wings" has its audio on HBO Max taken from the 1995 Turner dubbed version instead of the original English track, and as such, most of the voices are muted.

Digital Destruction / int_2dfaf313	comment	When the original Night of the Living Dead (1968) was re-released in a George Lucas Altered Version for its 30th anniversary, one of the many complaints was that the restoration team had actually done too good a job, erasing the atmosphere provided by the murky public domain prints and making the film look cheap and shoddy as a result. In actuality this was because the producers of the newer cut altered the contrast levels of the original film so that it would be a better match for the new footage they shot; subsequent releases have generally averted this trope by seeking to maintain the look of the older prints, even when creating new high-definition versions. Though with the film in the public domain and available for anyone to make their own release of, some of them have naturally gone overboard with DVNR, with predictable results.

Digital Destruction / int_32a01588	comment	Pinocchio: Curiously, in the 2009 DVD, Jiminy's lines "Right!" (just after the "If your whistle's weak" line) and "Look out, Pinoc!" from the end of the "Give A Little Whistle" song have been edited out—apparently this was the result of a sound mixing error, as the line can still be heard in the film's mono soundtrack, but not the remastered stereo soundtrack. Not an atrocity by any means, but anyone who has seen earlier prints of the film will take notice of this. Fortunately, as of April 2011, Disney started allowing owners of the Blu-ray to exchange their discs for copies with the line restored. Owners of the DVD, however, were outta-luck until 2017, when Disney accompanied Pinocchio's Digital HD debut with DVD/BD re-releases of the corrected print. Additionally, the team restoring Pinocchio for its 1992 theatrical re-release used a print generations removed from the original camera negative. This resulted in the movie having an earthy color scheme, which carried on to all the home video releases of The '90s. When scanning the original negative for later DVD and Blu-ray releases, Disney reportedly found the picture to have a pastel appearance, which those releases more faithfully portrayed, but have the usual DVNR problems.

Because ITV Studios Home Entertainment released them through themselves instead of Network Distributing, the 2011 restoration of Jeeves and Wooster suffers slight cropping (even though it is in its original aspect ratio), an edit to the final episode and the end caps changed (a copyright change and the ITV Studios logo plastered over the Granada ones), while Poirot had two Granada logos plastered over the original LWT logos and the use of the original intro and closing credits in The ABC Murders, Death in the Clouds and One, Two, Buckle My Shoe (they originally had no intro and different credits which was retained through the early DVD prints from VCI). Taken to extreme for the JCA TV restorations of Poirot (Series 1-Series 8) where the copyright has been changed.

After all, if you're trying to clean up a color cartoon, you don't want dingy colors. This would be a minor problem, except that it was done everywhere â€” including scenes in Meanie-occupied Pepperland. Yes, "faded color = grey" is starting to become a film convention, but it wasn't one back then, and the hints of medium pastel are somewhat distracting to anyone who doesn't yet accept the convention. The 2012 Blu-ray release amended this by painstakingly cleaning up every frame individually.

Originally, it ended with the objects watching Belle and the Beast read by the fireplace. Since the extended version follows this song with a scene of the objects cleaning the castle, it now closed with the objects in the hallway, closing the doors to give Belle and the Beast some alone time. Selecting the "Original Theatrical Version" on the Blu-ray changes the ending of the song to the objects about to close the doors, but abruptly cuts to a different scene before they shut. Frustratingly, the corrected transition currently appears only on the 3-D Blu-ray. The Platinum Edition DVD and the Diamond Edition 2-D Blu-ray and DVD all have different color schemes than the Walt Disney Classics VHS and LaserDisc before them, making fans fear that Disney tampered with the picture. The tones of the 3-D Blu-ray hew most closely to the Classics releases. The restoration for the Platinum Edition removed a credit before the prologue for Silver Screen Partners IV, and some stuttering from the scene where Beast asks Belle, "You wan-you wanna stay in the tower?" The restoration for the Diamond Edition put both of these back in. For some reason, the Blu-ray restoration also edits out Cogsworth's shocked gasps, when he, Lumiere, and Mrs. Potts rush to the scene when the Beast has been stabbed (after Gaston falls to his death).

In the pre-1998 episodes, the show would use two stills of different color knockout stars and flash them for a millisecond and use lightning strobe effects for lightning. However, due to the "Electric Soldier Porygon" incident at the time, the knockout effect was changed to make the still images to be 2-3 seconds each and some scenes involving lightning and electric sparks would be slowed down. The show would make a new technique where the stars would be animated flying all over by the time Creampanda was introduced. However, this was changed for home video releases for 518a to 587b (the last couple episodes of the cel animated era), a few selected episodes from 1998 and 1999 for the Favorites Series and a few double length episodes where they simplified it by just showing the two stills for 3-5 seconds each for unknown reasons.

Toho edited the film's run time down to make it more tolerable for the younger audience, slicing up the original negatives in the process. The film's first Japanese home video release sourced those formerly lost scenes with a 16mm print, but a 35mm print was located in the early 90's only to be lost as well. Future releases sourced the LaserDisc release with the lost scenes being located once more for the Blu-Ray release. Most recently, Toho commissioned a 4K restoration in 2014 with the initial missing footage finally recovered from the first reel. The restoration was broadcast on TV and in theaters in the summer of 2016. The Japanese cut's US debut on the Criterion box set would only use the earlier 2008 Blu-Ray restoration.

Digital Destruction / int_49729b9c	comment	The 1998 20th anniversary DVD release of Halloween featured a transfer approved by cinematographer Dean Cundey, with the daytime scenes graded with a strong brownish-orange tint to suggest an autumnal atmosphere and the night scenes bathed in deep blues. When the film received an HD telecine for the 2003 25th anniversary edition DVD, it was done without Cundey's involvement and the color timing was completely changed to a much more neutral appearance, removing both the orange and blue tints for an image that was technically more realistic but not in line with the film's artistic intent. This was just the first in a series of issues and debates regarding transfers of the film... The 2007 Blu-ray release was sourced from the same telecine as the 2003 DVD, but the color timing was tweaked in an attempt to address some of the criticism — again without the filmmakers' involvement. A slight brownish tint was added back to some of the daylight scenes, and a bit of the blue was restored to at least some of the night sequences, creating an overall look somewhere in between the two DVD transfers. For the 35th anniversary Blu-ray in 2013, the movie was given a brand-new scan with the transfer supervised and approved by Cundey. You'd think this was a slam dunk, but as it turned out, this transfer — while much sharper than any prior home video release — featured completely different color timing than any of the prior DVD or Blu-ray editions, including the Cundey-approved 1998 transfer. The entire film has a stark, desaturated appearance, completely removing the "autumnal" tint from the daylight scenes while also featuring less vibrant colors in general than even the 2003 DVD. The night scenes are bluer than they were in the 2003 and 2007 transfers, but still not as heavily-tinted as the 1998 DVD. This led to many impassioned debates about which version people believed looked most like the original theatrical prints, based on 35-year-old memories. There was enough controversy that the Deluxe Edition Complete Collection Blu-ray set of the franchise includes both the 2007 and 2013 transfers. Another new scan was done for the film's 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release in 2018, but the color timing was kept nearly identical to the 2013 transfer.

Some episodes even ran shorter than originally broadcast because of Rhino's dependence on the filmed versions. On top of that, the soundtracks received 5.1 "remixes" containing additional sound effects. Shout! Factory decided to rectify this by releasing DVDs containing footage from the broadcast tapes spliced into the filmed episodes, which also play synced with the original soundtracks. The picture quality of these versions fluctuates between looking sharp and looking soft. One of Rhino's VHS releases had master tape damage in one episode. The distribution copy of "The Burden Hardest to Bear" circulating since the Shout! Factory release of Season 3 was ripped from an obvious older master tape that looks almost fuzzy (namely, there's a unstable horizontal line appearing at the top of the picture throughout the episode), as if it was taken from a VHS copy.

While Disney is usually careful even when using the infamous process, the issue was that the film was made when Disney was using Xeroxing in place of hand-inked cels, and the itchy, hairy lines combined with a restoration process that is specifically designed to remove things it detects as scratches and dirt was a recipe for trouble. There are many obvious instances of linework and art erasing throughout this release. It's most noticeable in the opening when Robin is chatting with Little John and during the archery scenes, where the artwork of the arrows is frequently eaten away into nothing due to DVNR art erasing.

Yes, almost â€” if one looks very carefully in certain bits of the shorts, there is some very mild line thinning and/or erasing that you would usually need to purposely look for in order to spot. The only short that seemed to suffer obvious DVNR problems was "I Like Babies and Infinks", where problems with artwork erasing pop up very frequently. And as John K. pointed out in his blog, the color specials have had some bizarre altering â€” "Popeye Meets Sindbad" has had the pink, purple and turquoise turned up considerably, and while "Popeye Meets Ali Baba" is very close to actual 1930s colors, the purple bits in the cave have been pulled up into a bluish look. Also, when the Vol. 2 DVD set was released, they goofed up on recreating some of the title cards, and some of the shorts suffered from digital interlacing. This seems to have been rectified by a disc replacement program, thankfully.

The sound effects were redone, and the results were not seamless, such that one can painfully tell the difference between the mono and stereo versions without comparison! Averted with Thunderbean's 2014 Blu-ray release, which is restored from a 35mm print to faithfully resemble its original theatrical release, such as keeping dust prints in shots, keeping the colors bright and retaining rounded corners on the edge of the frame. See for yourself.

Digital Destruction / int_59650ab9	comment	The 2010 Blu-ray release of The NeverEnding Story featured a noticeably different colour timing from previous home video releases of the film. Many scenes in Fantasia have a distinct orange tint to them, and the whole thing in general looks much darker. This change was subject to several multi-page forum debates over which version had the correct colour timing. The film later received a remastered German Blu-ray release of the original German cut in 2012. Though the release featured the previously unavailable English audio track for the German version, the picture was turned up way too bright, and ruined by overzealous DVNR, resulting in waxy skin textures. A couple of years later, Warner Bros. released a new "30th Anniversary Edition" Blu-ray of the film. Though it was advertised as "newly restored", it uses the exact same transfer as the aforementioned 2010 release. Fans were not happy.

Digital Destruction / int_5bb3aaab	comment	Ghost in the Shell (1995) has been released on Blu-ray twice in North America, both times with issues. The first release primarily showcases the heavily altered 2009 cut of the film with the original version included as a bonus feature, but in very poor quality, seemingly sourced from an outdated master. The more recent "25th anniversary edition" features a fresh HD transfer of the original cut, but suffers from a botched sound mix full of missing effects and inaudible dialogue, as well as new subtitles which are awkwardly written and full of typos. In 2020, a new 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray was released, which fixed the previous version's sound mix and subtitles, only to add a new audio flub by using the English release's end credits theme by U2 (under the pseudonym Passengers) on both the English and Japanese audio tracks, whereas past releases only had the Passengers theme on the English audio track and the original credits music on the Japanese audio.

Earlier releases on DVD and LaserDisc had unfiltered audio tracks that better preserved the dynamics of the audio, and were much more natural and crisper than the later Blu-ray Remaster, at the cost of having more analogue noise (which is natural to the film).2011 US Disney Blu-ray release preserved the audio characteristics of the LaserDisc audio track while being in a superior 24-bit lossless format like the Blu-ray.

Digital Destruction / int_5d354f8	comment	The mid-'90s "Re-Mastered" versions of the first three (late-'80s) seasons of Red Dwarf suffered from horrific picture quality, due to a combination of low-quality source material, widescreen cropping, and a nascent "filmizing" process being applied to footage that wasn't shot with filmization in mind. For good measure, the restoration artists also wildly oversaturated the colour levels. The "Re-Mastered" project was initially done to sell the earlier seasons overseas, as the originals allegedly looked too low-budget. To a much-lesser extent, the initial Blu-Ray release of the first eight seasons had the (as-broadcast) third season and half of the fifth accidentally mastered in the wrong framerate, causing a grainy, blurry picture that was later corrected in a reissue of the affected discs.

Unfortunately, Rhino only had access to the rough, uncorrected versions (meaning the actual 35mm sources were likely not kept or are in the possession of someone else), so the episodes on Rhino DVD have more animation errors than the TV broadcasts. They also redid the color timing, turning Pizzazz's neon green hair into an ugly "moldy mustard" green/yellow. The new release from Shout! Factory used the broadcast masters of the final episodes, so the color is more accurate and many animation errors are fixed, but because these were tape masters the video is less sharp.

The sinister musical score deliberately overpowered the sound effects and dialogue in the original mix, but now it has been turned down considerably, often to the point of being difficult to hear. Some music tracks are also flat-out missing, as are several lines of dialogue and sound effects.

The 2005-2019 DVD and Blu-Ray versions, however, have blatantly altered the colors to look a little closer to the Disney Princess merchandise (blonde hair and blue dress). The fairy dust and some fabric creases have disappeared◊ from her gown, and some backgrounds were completely altered. As the other examples in this category indicate, this isn't the only Disney animated classic to have suffered from something like this, but thanks to how pervasive and vain the changes were and how long they have persisted since, the film has become the face of the problem of overaggressive restoration of classic animation. The movie finally had its original colors and missing details restored for a 4K screening at the 2023 Berlindale International Film Festival, and subsequent Ultra HD Blu-ray and Digital releases (accompanied by corrected Blu-ray and DVD re-releases).

When it came to displaying the original game it used Gearbox Software's flawed 2003 PC port of the game as the foundation, but contained small coding errors. These made it look even more dated than it was, specifically with bump map textures and the quality of various translucent visuals like the windows, Jackal shields and energy constructs, all of which made the game feel flatter and less vibrant than it originally was. These flaws weren't corrected in the initial release of the Master Chief Collection, but were finally fixed by an update to the MCC in 2021, allowing people to finally play Halo as originally intended without having to dig out their old Xboxes.

Digital Destruction / int_7c50d3d9	comment	The 2003 Region 1 DVD release of Super Mario Bros. (1993) from Disney, in addition to having zero extras, is a phoned-in transfer of the Laserdisc master, which, among other things, suffers from massive DVNR, poor color correction, and constant motion smearing. And because the transfer is in non-anamorphic widescreen, high-definition/widescreen televisions read it as a full screen image, resulting in black bars on all four sides of the screen. Its only saving grace is the surprisingly impressive 5.1 surround sound mix. Compare this to Second Sight's 2014 Blu-ray release, TC Entertainment's 2017 Blu-ray release and Umbrella Entertainment's 4K release, which boasts a 4K restoration with much crisper picture and properly formatted for widescreen televisions. Too bad it's only available in Region B and not playable elsewhere, meaning fans in North America have to import the Umbrella 4K for a premium price or stick with Disney's shoddy DVD (Disney also hasn't bothered to release it digitally there, either).

The Swedish dub of said film has, since the 2002 DVD release, only been available in a flawed 5.1 mix that causes the voices to sound enclosed, "canned" and with a lack of treble. The reason is because it was created out of the existing mono mix, as separate audio tapes for the dialogue had not been preserved (as with the case for many 1930-60's dubs in the country). Disney likely didn't want to spend money on or anger fans with a re-dub just for DVD and therefore went the emergency route with the release. In 2019, Disney released a remastered edition of the film on Disney+ and various PVOD services that was sourced from a 4K scan, which averted this trope by fixing many of the flaws that plagued the 2013 Blu-ray release.

Digital Destruction / int_7ff3216c	comment	On October 31, 2018, an HD remaster of Garfield and Friends was issued on Boomerang, and fans weren't happy with the final results. Instead of scanning the original film for an HD master, the intro was instead re-animated in Flash. Not surprisingly, fans of the show quickly noticed that the animations of the characters looked cheap and stiff, it was missing reactions of the animated characters and some special effects were completely ruined. This can be justified as apparently the original film masters couldn't be located for the opening, and the original effects were edited on videotape and the master tape is too low resolution to upscale to HD, meaning a true restoration is straight up impossible. The entirety of episode 7, as well as the episode "Beddy Buy" and the quickie before "Temp Trouble", narrowly avoids this by being presented with a border around the cartoon (dubbed "Retrovision" by the restoration team) because, like with the original opening, the original film master couldn't be found and the master tape couldn't be properly upscaled, so they used this method to present the picture quality as best as they could. Meanwhile, the title cards are cropped to 4:3 with a random-colored border filling the rest of the screen, while the episodes themselves are cropped and zoomed in to fit a 16:9 picture. The remaster also has a number of other differences: For one, the original credit sequences were done away in favor of a new credit sequence◊ with changing colored backgrounds, and the Film Roman logo was replaced with new logos for Mendelson/Paws Productions and Film Roman's then-current logo, though the original audio on the Film Roman logo remains. Some of the title cards had their colors changed; for example, "Banana Nose" originally had a blue background◊ that was changed to green◊ in the remaster, and "Unidentified Flying Orson" uses green text◊ whereas the original was orange; "Swine Trek" had its opening crawl redone, and "Orson Goes on Vacation" has a noticable zoom in on the footage after the title card with Wade.

Unfortunately, the music sounded less clear afterwards, and some vocals disappeared altogether. For the 2018 40th Anniversary re-releases, Paramount managed to correct almost all of these issues.

Digital Destruction / int_8c135a20	comment	In November of 2017, Rainbow Brite was finally released on Region 1 DVD. However, all 13 episodes were taken from the UK home video release, and as a result, they suffer from the PAL speed up problem that currently plagues many of Filmation's productions as well as washed-out colors. Additionally, all DVD releases use the edited-for-syndication versions of the first five episodes, which change the show's intro and have edits to reduce running time. It's presumable the original master tapes were lost or are in a private collection somewhere. The only way to access the uncut versions of the first five episodes with the original intro would be to import the German DVDs, which have English audio tracks.

The North American Broly release had the green tint, but the UK one did not.

Both discs also lop off the very start of "Word on a Wing". The European RCA CD doesn't have any of these problems; consequently, a repressing of it was included in the 2010 deluxe edition as a bonus disc.

Digital Destruction / int_8f4ee60f	comment	Back to the Future: The Trilogy had scenes that did not require special effects filmed in 1.37:1, and matted to 1.85:1 for theatrical and LaserDisc release. Unfortunately, the initial batch of widescreen DVDs for Back to the Future Part II and Part III matted some of these scenes in a manner that cropped out important details (such as the size-adjustment button and retractable sleeves on Marty's 2015 jacket). Thankfully, Universal began a disc replacement program that addressed the framing errors, and later pressings used the fixed prints. (The 2002-2003 discs with full-color art can be identified by "V2" in the text around the edge on mail-in replacement copies, although reprints of the full set only placed the "V2" on Part II. 2009 black-label reprints and beyond used the corrected transfers.) The 2010 DVD rerelease and Blu-ray debut (and 2015 reprints) had bad end credits on the original Back to the Future, with the text tilted, off-center, and squished by 25%. This was never fixed in that release cycle, but 2020 Blu-ray and 4K discs have the correct credits (standalone DVD rereleases may use the 2010 master). All versions since 2010 have included a shortened version of the blackout in Back to the Future Part II after Marty is hit by Biff's goons in 1985A. Previous releases kept the screen blank for over 5 seconds as the sound died away and the next scene's music began; now it's only a few seconds, and it also cuts out some of the music. Justified as back when the film was originally released, cinema operators had to partially or fully skip the scene as it happened to be at the end of a reel forming part of the film. Comparison here.

Digital Destruction / int_8f8df73b	comment	The Lion King (1994) When the movie was re-released in IMAX theaters, several scenes were altered and/or reanimated by the original animators who felt they didn't get it right the first time, most noticeably the somewhat odd-looking crocodiles in "I Just Can't Wait to be King" to be more on-model and the waterfalls in "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?", but also a host of more minor (and therefore less complained-about) changes like Mufasa's face being redrawn as he sees Rafiki approach during "Circle of Life" or Scar turning slightly to watch Mufasa and Simba leave the elephant graveyard. Later DVD releases advertised a remastered version that would feature the reanimated scenes as well as a new song ("The Morning Report", originally from the film's Broadway adaptation) alongside the original 1994 theatrical version; unfortunately for purists, however, the so-called "original version" keeps the tweaked scenes from the IMAX revamp. It may not be that big a deal, but if you're an advocate for preservation... For the 3D re-release and accompanying Blu-ray, not only did they retain the reanimated scenes, but at the end of the scene where Simba speaks to Mufasa's ghost (as Simba begs Mufasa not to leave), the giant cloud formation is completely missing. Records claim this flaw also existed in the IMAX version, but Disney corrected it for the original DVD. The cloud was ultimately reinstated in 2017, with updated re-releases of the Blu-ray and Digital HD editions. The DVD, sadly, still doesn't have the cloud.

Digital Destruction / int_9153ccb1	comment	Kubrick's later films, such as The Shining and Full Metal Jacket, were shown in theaters in 1.66:1 in Europe and 1.85:1 in America, but "protected" for 1.33:1, meaning the frame could be expanded vertically to fill a television screen without introducing any glaring issues like boom mics or camera tracks. Shortly before his death, Kubrick approved 1.33:1 DVDs of these films, and some fans have taken that to mean that the 1.33:1 versions are the definitive versions which reflect Kubrick's vision most accurately. However, in reality Kubrick simply felt that viewers would prefer seeing the 1.33:1 versions than having to watch either letterboxed widescreen editions (given that letterboxing can look painfully low-res on a standard definition CRT) or badly cropped Pan and Scan editions. Now that high-definition widescreen televisions are the norm, the movies have been reissued in 1.78:1...which, of course, is somewhere between 1.66:1 and 1.85:1 and thus not actually a ratio the movies were ever intended for. Downplayed considering that Kubrick himself released the films in 1.33:1 back then also because he didn't want black bars in his releases when they came to TVs in and out his time.

Digital Destruction / int_96898b78	comment	Son of the White Horse was first restored for a DVD release in 2005. The result was an eyesore, with excessively over-saturated pink and blue colors that muted out all the browns and greys (making the grey Three-Headed Dragon purple) and faded out intricate details like the White Mare's fine pinkish shading. To a movie in which the change and contrast of colors play crucial roles in visual symbolism, this was a huge downgrade. There were also numerous glitches like blank or misaligned frames. This was the only common version of the movie until it finally received a good 4K remaster in 2019 that restored the original, more earthly colors and missing details. However, even this updated restoration contained one barely noticeable glitch where a few frames would repeat.

They actually did manage to make huge improvements by accessing the original negatives and the movies do look a lot better. However, the BIG exception is the third part. Even though it originally didn't look worse than the third, the movie was put through a horrible DVNR orgy. The end result is as disastrous as it is amazing; everything now looks like a huge watercolor painting with next to no detail left.

Digital Destruction / int_99d0c794	comment	The Jungle Book For the 1990 re-release audio mix (used on home video releases before 2007), three scenes are affected: After Mowgli saves Bagheera from Kaa by kicking the latter out of the tree, there was originally music playing from when Mowgli snaps Bagheera out of the trance to when Kaa says "Just you wait 'til I get you in my coils!" The music was not only removed for some reason for the 1990 re-release audio, but somehow also not heard for the post-2007 editions. However, it can still be heard on some foreign-language dubs, particularly the ones made around the film's original release (or at least before 1990) including French, German, Dutch, Italian, Hungarian, Swedish, Danish, and Hebrew. Interestingly though, two of those dubs, Latin Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese 1968, ended up using the 1990 re-release audio mix for their home video releases (probably because the original speech recordings for those dubs were preserved). When Baloo gets pelted with fruit by the monkeys, he yells "Now, just try that again, you—-!" but is interrupted with a pumpkin splatting in his face. Here, there is a piece of "reaction" music that plays when this happens. Oddly, this was heard not on the original theatrical version, but was used on the 1990 re-release audio mix instead. It is unknown if the music was originally intended to be included, but it's also not heard on the post-2007 DVD and Blu-ray editions either. During "I Wanna Be Like You" while Baloo and Bagheera are talking, there is a trumpet solo that plays in the background. This was somehow not heard in the 1990 re-release audio mix (possibly due to editing problems), but can be heard on the soundtrack (and can still be heard on the many foreign-language dubs made before the 1990 theatrical re-release as well) and was also brought back for the post-2007 DVD and Blu-ray releases. In terms of quality, the 1990 re-release audio version is clearly a stereo mix and sounds very clean and crispy compared to the other versions. The post-2007 audio mix used for the Platinum Edition and Diamond Edition Blu-ray uses some elements from the 1990 version, albeit slightly "mono-ized". Unfortunately, the 2007 audio mix also has a few continuity problems, particularly with "I Wanna Be Like You". During the first part of the song while Louie tells Mowgli he can help him stay in the jungle, the 1990 audio edit is used. However, when Louie begins singing "Now I'm the king of the swingers..." the rest of the instrumental is used from the original theatrical audio (since the 1990 version is missing the trumpet solo) and you can clearly notice the quality change.

Digital Destruction / int_9c1d3818	comment	West Side Story (1961) suffered this a few times. The first DVD from 1998 changed one of the color shifts in the overture from red to blue, to red to green to blue, and also lost the whistles that played after the Quintet. The latter change made the part where the screen changed from intense shades of red and black, to normal colors, in time with the whistling, look even stranger than it originally did. The 2003 single disc edition is a Pan and Scan version of this master. On the Special Edition DVD, the whistles returned, but the "Tonight" sequence plays with the audio out of sync. The 50th Anniversary Blu-ray featured a restoration which corrected the syncing, but also has a flaw in which the screen briefly turns black during the red-to-blue color shift of the overture. The distributors of the Blu-ray announced that they would fix this flaw in the near future, but their "fix" also leaves some people unsatisfied; the color change doesn't look as smooth as those that occurred during the rest of the overture. This video shows how smoothly the colors changed on the CBS/FOX LaserDisc, while this showcases the transitions featured on the successive DVD and Blu-ray versions.

These include plastered end logos for several shorts, missing sound effects from two cartoons' opening credits, and an audible jump during the prologue of The Mad Scientist. Another Blu-ray set of the series plays this much straighter, with terrible picture quality, watermarks on every cartoon, and an excessive amount of grain smoothing, making the cartoons look like they were dipped in Vaseline. While the official Blu Ray from Warner isnâ€™t anywhere near this bad, it still suffers from issues beyond the original DVD set.

Digital Destruction / int_9ff4a8d9	comment	The Godzilla films have gotten hit with this at times: Classic Media's 2002 DVDs of some of the older films featured "5.1 surround sound'' audio tracks in addition to the original mono versions. The 5.1 tracks turned out to just be the mono tracks blasted out of all five speakers at slightly different times, created a headache-inducing echo as though the movies were recorded inside a garbage can. The company's later releases of those films wisely just included the mono tracks. The TriStar-issued DVDs feature new, digitally-created title cards for some of the older films. They generally have digital reconstructions of the English title cards with trademark icons added to the monsters' names, while others keep the original English title card but add the icons, or feature entirely new titles (Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster). The Heisei films usually retain the Japanese title cards with digitally-added English subtitles, but the newer films have new, very dull English title cards awkwardly plastered directly over the Japanese titles, which are often much more elaborate and beautiful (though this is the work of either Toho's export department or the Hong Kong company that dubs the films). This one takes the cake. Sadly, with the release of the Blu-rays, this tendency now also applies to Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla and Godzilla vs. Destoroyah. The transfer of Godzilla (2014) used for the DVD and standard Blu-ray is, for reasons that remain unclear, much darker and murkier than the way the film looked in theaters, rendering many of the nighttime scenes nearly indecipherable. The most infuriating thing about it is that the ads for the DVD and the clips shown in the special features showcase an ungraded version of the film, while the transfer used for the 3D Blu-ray which is closer to the theatrical release, yet Warner Bros is doing nothing to fix the problem. The 4K Blu-ray release in 2021 averts this, utilizing a new transfer that brings the color grading about 1:1 to the theatrical release, which would later be carried over to all digital releases as well. King Kong vs. Godzilla's Japanese version was re-released multiple times in the 60's and 70's to the Champion Festival - a children's film festival in Japan. Toho edited the film's run time down to make it more tolerable for the younger audience, slicing up the original negatives in the process. The film's first Japanese home video release sourced those formerly lost scenes with a 16mm print, but a 35mm print was located in the early 90's only to be lost as well. Future releases sourced the LaserDisc release with the lost scenes being located once more for the Blu-Ray release. Most recently, Toho commissioned a 4K restoration in 2014 with the initial missing footage finally recovered from the first reel. The restoration was broadcast on TV and in theaters in the summer of 2016. The Japanese cut's US debut on the Criterion box set would only use the earlier 2008 Blu-Ray restoration. The British Film Institute's DVD of Godzilla (1954) doesn't make things worse by trying to fix them. Instead, it just doesn't fix anything. The disc seems to have been scanned from a very tired print, with many scratches and cue dots. note "Cue dots" are marks in the top right of the screen which alert the projectionist to the end of a film reel. They have no place on a home video release, especially in the 21st century. However, they were rather prevalent on videocassettes and Laserdiscs in the early days.

Digital Destruction / int_a9f06cb6	comment	VeggieTales: The original two shows that were released on DVD seem not to be remastered for whatever odd reason as the ones after those were completely clean footage. So when it came to the 15th anniversary of Where's God When I'm S-Scared?, they tried fixing it by saturating the colors, but it ends up having a purple tint over the whole episode and some sound effects were missing (eg. the Psycho sting when the wisemen were taking Daniel away). The reason this is odd is because the Silly Song was restored for the "Ultimate Silly Song Countdown", done in the similar way from Are You My Neighbor? (show 3) onwards. So it's possible either the original masters were either stolen or are currently in possessions of someone. Speaking of the Silly Song, the audio for The Water Buffalo Song from the 15th anniversary release was taken from the live shows which is completely re-orchestrated and uses Larry's current voice. While one can understand why since Mike Nawrocki stated he disliked the old voice, the problem is that only parts of the old audio can be heard and the beginning bits of Archibald's lines were cut. When the VeggieTales Classics line in 2002-2004 remixed earlier episodes in 5.1 surround sound, a few major sound effects did not survive the transfer, and in "Rack, Shack and Benny"'s case, some music cues either play at the wrong time or go missing entirely. Also, changing the DVD track to "Stereo" will not save you, as it's typically just a mix-down of the newer 5.1 track instead of the original audio. The only DVDs in the Classics line that give you a choice between new and original audio are "King George and the Ducky" and "Madame Blueberry." Aside from the two films, the show never went into widescreen until Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry's Big River Rescue. Strangely, this move never came onto the DVD releases until Pistachio. So many of the compilations made after 2011 would either zoom in the footage from the pre-2008 shows or stretch the sides to match with the new footage. This also includes the Blu-ray releases of the pre-2008 episodes. Framerate is another issue. Despite the earlier episodes (up to and including Esther) being animated at 30fps, compilations and some rereleases bring it down to 24fps, creating noticeable frame-skipping. Rack, Shack & Benny has a bizarre example: When the video was originally released, several complex shots were rendered at 15 frames per second due to crunch time. These shots were reproduced at their intended 30fps for all reprints of the video from 1996 to 2001, but for whatever reason, the 2002 DVD and all subsequent re-releases "restore" the original broken framerate, alongside introducing many other problems with color and sound. Many of the official YouTube channel's uploads of some videos, mainly full episodes, have a glitch in the audio that sounds like echoing. Examples include the uploads of Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, Pistachio: The Little Boy Who Woodn't and "The Story of Saint Patrick" segment from Sumo of the Opera.

Previous releases kept the screen blank for over 5 seconds as the sound died away and the next scene's music began; now it's only a few seconds, and it also cuts out some of the music.

All of the blues have been turned green (which also affects Sasami and Kiyone's hair colors; Lord knows how Funimation overlooked that), the sepia-toned scene near the start of the film has been turned piss yellow, and somebody seems to have punched up the color quite a considerable amount, making the whole film eye-gougingly bright.

Digital Destruction / int_be3864c0	comment	The Looney Tunes Golden Collection sets have a lot of issues with DVNR on the first 2 volumes. While most of the DVNR'd cartoons on volume 1 have outlines blurred for a few frames, some have outlines and art disappearing (Elmer's Candid Camera on vol. 1 has some particularly glaring art erasure that you don't even need to still frame to notice). Vol. 2 also used digital interlacing for a handful of shorts on disc 4, resulting in very flickery picture. Fortunately, a replacement program was issued for that particular disc. Fortunately, the Blu-ray Platinum Collection sets tried to rectify the DVNR on the last volume but still had some hiccups. Almost all the cartoons on volume 1 scanned in HD that had outlines blurred as a result of DVNR, seem to have worse cases of DVNR as outlines and cel work disappear (Bugs Bunny's fist in the scene in "Tortoise Wins by a Hare" where he's getting ready for the race is a prime example). Additionally, "Fast and Furry-ous" is DVNR'd like crazy on Platinum Collection, despite not having any on Golden Collection. Another issue on volumes 2 and 3 is that the cartoons with severe DVNR on GC or ones that weren't scanned in HD, were given new scans but had a much darker hue resulting in some of the cartoon's contrast being messed up. Also all of the cartoons on the vol. 2 Platinum Collection DVD have issues with digital interlacing.

Among the things that have been missed out during the restoration process on various stories are sound cues, music cues, certain special effects shots, and major hiccups with colour regrading. The team that does the restoration, when asked about these various mistakes, commented that because of the grueling release schedule set for them by the BBC they simply don't have the time to make sure everything is 100% okay, and so the mistakes simply have to be accepted by the buying public. Aside from genuine mistakes made by the restoration team, the classic Doctor Who restorations are generally considered excellent. What's more, the most notable restoration errors have now been re-released with the errors corrected. A fault in the conversion process from PAL to NTSC caused the second disc of Patrick Troughton's "The Invasion" to look jittery and soft on the Region 1 DVDs; As far as it is known this has never been corrected. The North American DVD release of the TV Movie also had an odd error whereby the original NTSC master was converted to PAL (which involved speeding it up slightly due to the frame-rate difference), restored for the UK release, then converted back to NTSC for the American release; this caused problems with ghosting and motion judder. For some odd reason, the initial release of "The Seeds of Death" had the VidFIRE process — which is used to restore serials to the proper Video Inside, Film Outside look they had on first broadcast — applied to the entire story instead of just the segments shot in-studio. This was most likely a mistake that the team just didn't have time to fix, and corrected in the subsequent re-release of the story.

Despite the blurry picture however, the colour correction is wonderful, and the picture was very well cleaned up, making it a definite upgrade over standard-def DBZ... Just not the true "HD refreshed version" that the marketing had got people hoping for. opinions on Toei's in-house remaster of The Final Chapters are much more unanimous, with many criticizing how the remaster seems to take a lot of cues from Funimation in terms of being aggressively degrained and cropped to 16:9 widescreen with poor framing.

Adding further insult to injury is the fact that just a week after the Scooby-Doo! set was released, Warner Bros. would release fellow Hanna-Barbera show The Jetsons on Blu-ray via their Warner Archive division, which ultimately averted this trope.

This is also the version most are familiar with in the West, since it was the one used for the dub) that expands on Mewtwo's origin, redraws many of the visuals in CG and desaturates the color balance in order to give the movie a much darker and menacing tone. While the question whether the CG visuals look better or not is a hot debate within the fandom, few agree that the color change was a good thing. PokÃ©mon Heroes suffers from an intense blue tint, which made all the colors darker. Averted with non-4Kids versions (eg. the original Japanese) which have accurate colors instead. The US Blu-Ray release of Indigo League has a filter applied to it to make it "look HD", and very few fans noticed. The Australian/UK releases are worse. After "Electric Soldier Porygon," the preceding 37 episodes were heavily edited to reduce strobing (particularly during Pikachu's electric attacks.) While the effect has been slightly redone over time and looks much closer to original airing on current Japanese prints (only throwing away major 'problem' frames like black/white flashes,) most international prints (including the Season 1 Blu-Ray) have looked generally the same since 1998, as in somebody mashed the freeze-frame button on their TV remote and hoped for the best.

Of note is that this is the only instance where a European RCA Bowie CD has more issues than its American counterpart; other Bowie albums in the series either have more issues on American discs, have more issues with one manufacturer than another in the same region, or are negligible in difference.

Only two pre-2007 CDs properly preserve the intended starting point of the song: one American, one Canadian. Due to a mastering error, the original North American CD release of Duke swaps the stereo channels around. Additionally, streaming releases of the original mix disrupt the segue from "Behind the Lines" to "Duchess" by having the latter song start at a point in the transition considerably before where the former song ends.

Digital Destruction / int_d9c602eb	comment	South Park: The first season DVD set was criticized for being transfers of the earlier VHS releases, with many of the episodes suffering from shimmering and jagged edges around the characters and an odd crosshatching pattern that would be left when a character had high motion, and the rare audio pop (read: over 80) in the first six episodes alone. The second season set also suffers from shimmering and jagged edges around the characters, some minor edge enhancement and a few instances where part of the picture becomes slightly soft, but was generally considered a better transfer. Once the video distribution rights to the series moved to Paramount beginning with the third season, the transfer quality began to improve. The HD remasters of Seasons 1-12 are more or less flawless, with no major issues outside of a slight bit of interlacing here and there. The exception to this are the flashbacks in "Tom's Rhinoplasty" and "City on the Edge of Forever", where they are stretched versions of the SD, 4:3 originals with very reflective blur filters applied to the sides of the screen. In the latter's case, it isn't even exclusive to the flashbacks to other episodes; even the flashback scenes wholly original to the episode weren't remastered, not even the one to earlier in the same episode. Even the flashbacks are odd given that the same scenes were restored digitally in the episodes they originally appeared.

Digital Destruction / int_dad73e07	comment	Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory: The restoration used for the 2009 Blu-ray does not match theatrical framing, in large part incorporating image information from the left side of the film, which was exposed on the negatives but always meant to be replaced by the optical soundtrack, and the bottom of the film, since the additional width means additional height but it averages very low in frame. WB never resolved this problem until the 2021 4K restoration (regular Blu-ray copies still use the "incorrect" framing). Comparison examples and explanation here. All stereo and 5.1 remixes have some problems compared to the original mono soundtrack. In particular, Mrs. Bucket's line after "I've Got a Golden Ticket" is supposed to be "Wait! Stop!" but "Wait!" is lost; audio quality of the music tends to be subpar as well.

Digital Destruction / int_dbb31d3c	comment	Some Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts, Tex Avery MGM Cartoons, and Tom and Jerry shorts were restored for HBO Max, but these new restorations have some faults. The grain and colors have been flattened to make for easier digital cleanup (you know, DVNR) in the case of the Looney Tunes shorts, most of the cartoons have titles recreated with Adobe Photoshop and digital editing. The Tex Avery Screwball Classics Volume 2 Blu-ray disc was done by the HBO Max team since the Warner Archive team behind the first set were unable to work at their facilities thanks to the COVID-19 Pandemic wreaking havoc at the time. As a result, it has a lot of issues and is very disappointing compared to the stellar Volume 1. Most of the cartoons have DVNR issues (some varying from cartoon to cartoon). Additionally, "Magical Maestro", "One Cabs Family" and "Doggone Tired" have redone titles made in Photoshop (despite this, all three look amazing). Also, all of the cartoons on the set (with the exception of "Droopy's Double Trouble") reuse their Turner audio tracks. "Ventriloquist Cat" seems to be sourced from a poor transfer and "Homesteader Droopy" has very poor color correction, ruining the opening scene. With that said however, "Drag-a-long Droopy", "Field and Scream", "The First Bad Man", "Dixieland Droopy" and "The Farm of Tomorrow" have no issues and look amazing and despite the issues, the set is still worth getting for "Magical Maestro" alone.

The most infuriating thing about it is that the ads for the DVD and the clips shown in the special features showcase an ungraded version of the film, while the transfer used for the 3D Blu-ray which is closer to the theatrical release, yet Warner Bros is doing nothing to fix the problem. The 4K Blu-ray release in 2021 averts this, utilizing a new transfer that brings the color grading about 1:1 to the theatrical release, which would later be carried over to all digital releases as well.

(Obvious examples include the wind when Mary Poppins is sitting on a cloud, the "poof!" noise when Mary, Jane, Michael and Bert jump into the chalk drawing, the thunder and lightning before it starts raining on the chalk drawing, and the fireworks following the "Step in Time" number.) This version was also used whenever ABC Family aired the film between 2006 and 2012. Disney released a new DVD in 2009, the 45th Anniversary Edition, with the Enhanced Home Theater Mix gone, and ABC Family's subsequent airings also use the original sound track. Additionally, the 2013 50th Anniversary Edition has an "Enhanced Home Theater Mix" that resembles the original soundtrack. The 50th Anniversary Edition had DVNR and line smoothing applied to the animated sequences, although the live-action scenes retain the grain.

Digital Destruction / int_e137bba2	comment	Barry Lyndon was expressly meant to be projected in the 1.66:1 aspect ratio, which was common in Europe but not in America. Kubrick even had notes packed with prints of the film urging American projectionists to make sure they got the 1.66:1 ratio right, or as close to it as they could. Tellingly, even the earlier television broadcasts and videocassette releases were letterboxed, a rarity at the time. The Warner Brothers Blu-ray is cropped to a 1.78:1 ratio instead, removing a noticeable amount of picture at the top and bottom of the image for the sake of filling a widescreen television (1.66:1 would produce small black bars at the sides of the screen). Luckily The Criterion Collection got a hold of this title and released a Blu-ray that uses the correct 1.66:1 ratio in 2017.

Unlike the original flash files, the image quality of the toons suffers from having less color. The only upside is that the audio is clearer and the live-action segments are rendered in higher quality. Thanks to Adobe Flash ending support in 2021, the site had to switch to Ruffle to run the original flash files. However, due to it being an early build (for now), the files are downsized as both image and audio quality are worse than when they were running through Flash natively. It is recommended that people use Greasemonkey's All-in-One player if they continue using the site.

The aspect ratio was changed to 16:9 from the original 4:3, usually by opening up the sides of the frame and cropping the top and bottom, sometimes creating a host of problems like making film equipment and, occasionally, crew members visible. Joss Whedon even stated, "Buffy was shot 4x3 [because] TVs were shaped that way. Widescreen Buffy is nonsense." The restoration team also removed many color filters applied to the original versions, thereby inadvertently changing night scenes to day, and viewers pointed out that due to heavy noise reduction the HD version actually had less fine detail and much flatter lighting than the SD version.

When the book was reprinted later in the 80's and 90's, Disney found out that the original photographic plates for the book were lost or destroyed, so they were forced to scan pages from the original book in high quality and use them as the source materials for the reprints so they wouldn't have to go to the painstaking effort of reconstructing the entire book from scratch. On top of that, the reprints used much cheaper paper than the original. While the reprints aren't anywhere near bad, a side by side comparison of the original run and its reprints reveals a noticeable drop in printing quality.

Additionally, the picture quality, while sharper, is marred with faded and inaccurate colors, and certain scenes with objectionable content were cut out. By contrast, the MCA/Universal video releases in the early-mid 90's have the cartoons with some modified opening titles, but are otherwise mostly untouched despite not being restored. To make matters worse, the "remastered" versions were included on Classic Media's DVD releases. Fortunately, Universal reclaimed the rights to the shorts following their takeover of DreamWorks Animation, Classic Media's parent company, sparking hope that a more superior restoration of the shorts are on the way.

Additionally, every episode of seasons 1-8 use the same intro and closing sequence for season 1 (with two Alternative Foreign Theme Songs) with a different opening logo, along with the episode titles and credits all re-done and modified. There are also several episodes which use the edited versions from the syndicated Smurfs Adventures show, instead of the original unedited versions. This restoration for the entire series was released to DVD in Australia and Germany. Starting with the official YouTube release of the series, these same editions were used, except all the episodes were cropped into widescreen.

Digital Destruction / int_f6a54e75	comment	In Kingdom Hearts 1.5 (and the later 1.5+2.5), due to a lack of anti-aliasing and proper upscaling to 1080p, the cutscenes in Re:Chain of Memories have dithering artifacts due to being sourced from pre-rendered 480i video files from the PS2 original and not in-engine cutscenes like the other games (it's also why the lip movements are still synced to the Japanese audio rather than being re-animated to the English dub like the other games, even for the HD version). The 358/2 Days and Re:Coded cutscene movies also suffer from this, though it's zig-zagged with the former as there are several cutscenes ripped right out of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix HD from after they properly upscaled and anti-aliased that game's cutscenes to 1080p and a later PS4 free DLC cutscene depicting the Roxas VS Xion fight that was also properly rendered the same way, leaving a slightly jarring viewing experience. Kingdom Hearts Final Mix has things left off the sides of the frames during cutscenes that expanding the picture out to 16:9 from its original 4:3 framing let people accidentally see sometimes, though on PS3 you could at least convert the games in 1.5 back to 4:3 if you wanted to. There are also sound glitches in 1 and 2 Final Mix that cause sound effects to not properly play and voice clips from some bosses to either inconsistently play, or not play at all despite being in the games' codes still that Square have yet to patch. This is odd since KH2FM was released with its English dub in Japan in 2007 with no such sound glitches present, though with the additional cutscenes and new boss characters not being dubbed until 2014 when the HD version was being put together (even the Japanese actors weren't brought back in until that point), making it odd that the sound mix for the voices would be glitched since all they had to do was add in the new voice lines and grunts for the new cutscenes and characters. Plus, Roxas' battle grunts at the beginning of 2 are replaced with Ventus' from Birth By Sleep despite the original sound files also still being in the game as well, though this seems to be a deliberate choice on behalf of the devs rather than an audio glitch (Roxas and Ventus both look and sound alike, leading them to be voiced by the same actors in both English and Japanese, so replacing Roxas' original battle grunts with the others isn't too jarring a switch unless you played the original PS2 version of the game and know what they used to sound like). Another anomaly comes in the form of models they used for the HD version of the first game. Due to losing the source code for it, the devs behind the remaster had to go back and recreate the game as best they could from a mix of digging out an ISO/ROM of it from a PS2 disc, rerecorded music at Yoko Shimommura's request, and character models from later games (which, though made on the same engine, had changed enough over time that it's noticeable). The results can be a bit jarring when going between games that used the newer and older models when going in order in the HD collections.

Digital Destruction / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5 was filmed in a 16:9 Aspect Ratio, at a time when most shows were filmed in 4:3, with an eye towards future home video release on the newer wide-screen HDTVs that were beginning to become popular. However, the CGI could be expensive and time-consuming to produce, so it was decided to render it in 4:3 and crop the live-action footage to match for broadcast (especially given that much of the scenes in the show were Chroma Key composited shots with CGI backgrounds). The intent was to re-render all of the CGI for the eventual widescreen release, but for various reasons, by the time the DVD sets were eventually released, it was instead decided to crop the CGI scenes from 4:3 to 16:9, effectively a reverse-Pan and Scan, reducing their resolution and making the CGI look pixelated, particularly in the Chroma Key shots where the actors were shown in native 16:9.

Digital Destruction / int_f7ed2fd7	comment	The Little Mermaid (1989): On early pressings of the Diamond Edition Blu-ray, the ending of the "Part of Your World" sequence plays differently than it originally did. Originally, after cutting from Ariel reaching her hand out towards the surface, it cut to her floating back down onto a rock, to Flounder looking sad. The early D.E. releases switch the latter two scenes' positions, resulting in an audio sync issue. Also, the scene transition when Ariel and Flounder go to visit Scuttle has changed from a dissolve to a cut. When Disney fixed these mistakes, they only did so on the Blu-ray, DVD, and digital download copies, not the 3-D Blu-ray Discs. A disc replacement program was also offered for Blu-ray and DVD copies of the film. The Diamond Edition also makes some intentional but ill-advised changes, such as changing the opening credits with drastically different timing, a new font, and the card reading, "In Association With Silver Screen Partners IV" absent. Like the Platinum Edition DVD before it, it also censors the minister's knee, due to some viewers of older prints thinking it looked like a Raging Stiffie. The 2006 Platinum Edition DVD has a few unique instances of Digital Destruction: The clamshells the sisters came out of were changed to green interiors, and Grimsby's hand at the start of the tour of the kingdom was removed. Both were undone on the Diamond Edition, but the 30th Anniversary Edition removed Grimsby's hand once again. The end credits have undergone several changes over the years, notably when the 1997 re-release — which remixed the Dolby Stereo audio to Dolby Digital, DTS, and SDDS — replaced the "Part of Your World" instrumental with the normal version of the song. Prints from 2006 onwards switched it back with the instrumental.

Digital Destruction / int_f8eaad5b	comment	Citizen Kane got an accidental taste of this. In one scene, outside the window there was supposed to be rain; the person in charge of the film's restoration thought it was excessive film grain, so it was digitally edited out of the restored print. Later, the Blu-ray boasted a new restoration, which brought back such details as the aforementioned rain.

Digital Destruction / int_fa85cc4f	comment	OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes: In an example that occurred during the show's airing, Cartoon Network digitally turned the saturation up on several episodes in season 2 for no discernible reason, making the show garishly bright and nearly painful to look at. The show's crew was not happy with this changing of their work and fortunately season 3 returned to an acceptable color palette that didn't cause eye strain.

Digital Destruction / int_fad1ddfe	comment	The 2009 (25th anniversary) DVD and Blu-ray editions of The Last Starfighter are missing a dramatic-sting music cue about half an hour in, when Beta Alex is shown with goopy skin under his blankets. Strangely, this omission doesn't seem to be the fault of the conversion to 5.1, as the 1999 (Collector's Edition) DVD is in 5.1 and has the cue. 1999's also had the rarely-included Universal Studios and tour banners at the end, but not 2009's. Although most of the 1999 DVD's extras are brought over to the 2009 edition, they are of considerably worse image quality, with lots of interlacing artifacts and dot-crawl (and a cropped trailer). In fact, everything on the disc, including the feature, takes up less space on the 2009 DVD, and even with a new 20-minute retrospective the entire disc is smaller. The only thing keeping the 1999 DVD from being superior, apart from a slightly dirtier film transfer and one new extra, is the replacement of the original Universal and Lorimar logos with the 1997 Universal logo.

Digital Destruction / int_fc809656	comment	Young Americans: The original US CD release by RCA Records cuts off the first two opening drumbeats in the Title Track due to a mastering error. Meanwhile, the 1991 Rykodisc reissue erroneously uses earlier mixes of "Win", "Fascination", and "Right" (most prominently distinguished by their heavy reverb), which staff member Jeff Rougvie claimed was the result of them simply seeking out the best-sounding tapes from Bowie's vaults without cross-referencing them with the original 1975 release (the 1989 Boxed Set Sound + Vision also uses the earlier version of "Fascination" due to the same error, which was fixed on the expanded 2003 reissue). The 1999 and 2016 remasters reinstate the original mixes.

Digital Destruction / int_ff9ab17f	comment	The remastering job for the second season of Star Trek: The Next Generation was criticized for being a considerable downgrade to the one seen in the first season. In part due to CBS Digital, the studio responsible for that set and most of the later seasons, not being involved with the season and outside firm HTV-Illuminate being utilized instead. While the live-action scenes were praised for exposing details not seen in the original SD broadcasts, the haphazard restoration of the show's visual effects and uneven efforts to recreate other shots were criticised as being a step down from the consistent high quality of the first season. The rest of the remaster averts this, and is considered to be top notch by fans and Season 4's remastering by Modern Video Film was likewise far better received due to closer involvement with the main CBS remaster team.
