Yes very true.
Unfortunately the only “acceptable” source I have is the US NTSC DVD.
I have all episodes on CVD (a hybrid of SVCD which uses a resolution of 352x576). These were created by myself around 10-15 years ago using the UK PAL Commercial VHS releases. Overall the picture is pretty good on these, but the frame blending/interlacing is a major issue. Regrettably I no longer have the VHS’s so I’m stuck with the CDs! This is every episode other than “Coby and the Starhunters”.
The only other sources I have are the usual versions that appear on YouTube etc.

This is why I ask about the quality of Retartedted’s versions. As his come from the NTSC VHS for the most part, I am wondering if it is worth me going to the effort of tracking down the NTSC VHS (if I can even find them!), and then a way of getting it onto the PC.

How do his versions stack up against the US DVD? My ideal would be using the DVD where the footage exists, and then splicing in the missing bits from VHS.

Hope that all makes sense!
