Chief Architect of Cynical MoralityI'm talking, for example, Doctor Who (2005+). The last two seasons were in HD, but while the rest were widescreen, they were not in HD. Are we afraid that we'll never get the first 4 seasons after/if DVD dies?Chewtobacca said:
I'd certainly fight for their release on BD. What do you have in mind apart from the other Star Trek series and of course Bab5?

There's a whole bunch of shows done on video that will never be out on Blu-ray, why aren't we fighting over them?

Ah, Doctor Who! I was only ever a fan of the older shows, and even then was never a big one.

I shouldn't think so. They would probably still be available on Netflix or similar services in the future, and of course preservations would be easy to do. It's things that never had a decent home video release or were released pre-DVD that I worry about losing.

As soon as you wrote "fight! fight! fight!" I was looking for one with Homer Simpson flicking the light switch on and off, I think it was from "Lisa on ice", but found nothing.

... And they had 'The Empire Strikes Back', the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is fucking with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five, six, one, two, three, ten". No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

Imagination PrincessHarumph. A little late for the "fight" gifs, since we'd already made our peace. Not your best, Frink. ^_~
Anyway, I know I'm in a lose-lose situation, at least as far as my perspective is concerned. People want TNG in hi-def, and there is no way to do that seamlessly given the effects. Believe me. I am aware of that. I'd just hate for this new version to become the default TNG. It's quite a conundrum.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming... Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Video Editor, Obsessive Fan, and Semi-WeirdoCan someone make this thread about Star Trek TNG on Blu-Ray again?
The franchises I get nerdy about are so obscure that not even most nerds know about them.

Stringer in Space!Thanks for the seizure, guys.
Since they're like poetry, what with the rhyming and all, I find that I only need to watch three out of the six films.

It is a conundrum. I suppose it would be possible for Paramount to include 480i (SD) encodings from the original masters, on the Blu-rays. That way the original effects would be preserved, there would be no jump in quality during the episodes, and at that resolution they would not take up much space on BD-50s, which are rarely filled to the brim anyway. Whether the studio would go to the trouble of doing this, I don't know, but it's a potential solution.

Child is the Father of the ManShort video comparison from "one of the sampler episodes. It certainly appears as if it's been modified a lot to me, but it's not a dealbreaker. They ever release a sizable "best of" collection and it's mine.

Child is the Father of the ManThat probe looks a little more than recomposited to me, but I'm not about to argue about it because I don't care. I just care that it looks fantastic.

To be able to see those two space aliens entangle their body parts in HD... bow chicka bow wow!

Magister Pontifex MaximusI remember there were jokes at the time about the jellyfish people being gays because they were both blue, now one of them is pink.
Star Trek is the most homophobic Science Fiction series on the planet.
Say goodbye, to all this and "hello" to Jason Issacs.

doubleofive said: The issue with that would be every viewscreen, phaser blast, and transporter effect has to be redone, meaning flipping back and forth between 1080p and less-than-DVD quality quite frequently. I don't think seamless branching is an option, you'd have to have the entire series on the discs twice.
This. TNG is simply not in the same situation as TOS. Even TOS space scenes look quite bad on BD: if I want to see the original effects, which I often do, it's less jarring to watch the DVDs.
What do mean the TOS space scenes look bad on the BD? May I remind you the special effect scenes done in the 1960s? Do they really look better on the DVD or is it just a problem of going from the HD non-space scenes to the non-HD space scenes?

it might be the way to do. I'd prefer seemless branching, but in the case of STTNG, it might be too difficult to do.
I agree with Gaffer, in that I want the originals preserved, but I also understand the redoing of the effects, because it is impossible to have the original effects in HD. If you want the effects in HD, redoing them is the only way. But still the originals need preserved.
