With this V1.1 release I have added an extra delay of 100ms to the DTS and DTS-HD audio tracks so they sync better with the video.
When The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition blu-ray came out, many noticed that in comparison to the theatrical release and previous DVD and blu-ray releases, a darkening green tint had been applied across the whole film, turning snow and clouds meant to look white green and making everything look underexposed. Even the title, end credits and fade to white in rivendell were affected by this blanket green tint, giving everything in the film a green tint, including fleshtones.
The underexposed nature of the new transfer also led to many darker scenes like the mines of moria being very difficult to make out on the screen and daylight scenes like those in Hobbiton seeming very overcast rather than sunny like they were in the theatrical release and every other home release.
As you can imagine, there was a lot of controversy, with many calling for the studio responsible and the director to admit with a statement that a mistake had been made with the transfer of the blu-ray and for new corrected replacement blu-rays to be provided to those that had bought the flawed original blu-ray release. As you can imagine, that did not happen and that´s how things have stayed to this day.
Honestly I have been waiting years for a release of The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition that exactly matched the colour grading of the version of this film that I originally fell in love with, the The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition DVD. A shot by shot regrade was sadly never something that I could do, too time consuming, but thankfully Dwalin and 44rh1n were up to the task and have done a very nice job IMHO. Now i'm very happy to share their hard work with you all as well. Fingers crossed when the UHD blu-ray of the Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition finally comes out, they've fixed the awful blanket green tint on the blu-ray and gone back to the much better colour grading of the Extended Edition DVD. Enjoy!
All details of changes made to the The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition blu-ray can be found in the torrent file listing.
English and Spanish subtitles are also included in this release, as well as the DTS-HD MA 6.1 audio track from the blu-ray and chapter listings.
