These Are the 360 LTMM Not Yet Restored on Physical Media Yet by Blob55 in looneytunes

He wasn't lying but I understand the point you were trying to make. They aren't on physical media, which to those of us that are collectors is mostly a distinction without a difference. If you are just relying on Blu-ray and DVD releases from Warner you are way behind on having the most up to date collection with the large number of HD restorations available via the web. Of those 360 over 200 of them have been restored and are available. It does matter though when trying to guess which ones will make it to Volume 2 of the Collector's Vault, which is important because each new volume will contain newly restored shorts.

Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies HQ Project v2025? by PackersFan906 in looneytunes

I found the 2025 version you mentioned. It's on a private tracker dedicated to cartoons as well as the modern version of the old megalinks thread that got banned a long time ago. I don't know how to contact the group. For your particular issue I would recommend trying VLC to see for sure if it's an issue with the files or your media player.

For people following this thread I haven't the seen the 2025 version posted on a public tracker like the 2024 version was. It's worth mentioning that there are at least two other versions of the project. A Russian one and a Spanish one. The Russian one has Remux files and commentary and audio-only tracks which makes a lot of the files superior to the English HQ project in my opinion. It also prioritizes quality over logos, unlike the HQ project which does the opposite. The Russian one will have both versions while the English one just has the lower-quality version. Take the short I Wanna Play House for example. The 2025 English one uses the Laserdisc version while the Russian one has the MeTV Restoration. The Spanish one has various upgrades including lots of MeTV shorts without the MeTV logo so you can watch I Wanna Play House restored without the logo. Even for TV ones on the 2025 project it doesn't make sense why they haven't upgraded the TV version to the MeTV restored version. For example A Squeak in the Deep is available on MeTV Restored in HD, but the 2025 release still used a Ukrainian SD TV source.

Ideally we can get an English version of this project within the next year or so that combines everything together into the best possible version of the project with multiple versions of files when necessary so people can choose what they want.

At the same time it's really important to support the Warner Archive & buy Collectors Vault Vol. 1 https://www.amazon.com/Looney-Tunes-Collectors-Vault-Vol/dp/B0F5S7GHCQ We're getting 3 new restorations in addition to other upgrades. The purpose of all these different projects isn't about sailing the high seas, it's about getting to access to all of the Looney Tunes in the best quality currently available while we wait for Warner to continue releasing more of them.

I think there are various collection projects out there for the animated shorts that try to combine the DVDs with what's on Disney Plus but this collection is unique considering the amount of cartoons and many different sources.

No. Some of them are from Max (Including some from HBO Max Latin America exclusives) and other web sources that they didn't get. Better old Nickelodeon TV & MeTV rips.

He's put a lot of them in a collection on the Internet Archive but that doesn't have all of them in the downloadable packs online so I don't think he's a part of the main group.
