Nothing ever really produced the desired effect.

Because of the pulldowned sequences that will ALWAYS stutter if not properly decimated. That’s a fact.

I guess I will try the PAL-discs now, since they have a professionally done 25 FPS, which is present uniform and throughout. Perhaps that will work.

I guess I took my mouth a bit too full (can you say this in English?). Yesterday I watched two episodes, and I have to admit there are a few doubles per episode. But only two or three (plus a few always by the end the openig credits), but despite that it really still seems a much better starting point.

But what bugs me most are the release policies by all those multimedia-corporations: I mean when we take a long hard look at how many times certain series were released, re-released, new editions done and then re-re-released again and so on, there was really no time or option to work on them so they could be presented in a standard up-to-date form (like constant framerate)?

Not 100% necessary in the NTSC-world, but costs money. That’s all.

Of course, I am no expert on the subject, but I would reckon’ this could be done automatically these days?

Not in this case. Doing it perfect is really work - and for the c)-scenes still impossible, if you don’t mix (overlay) film and cgis again from the beginning. This would mean HIGH cost. - And THEN they could also scan the film parts again in HD, adapt or improve the cgi-parts and release proper BluRays…

After all, we fans have bought so many releases and special editions, paid for so many streaming options and downloads, there was no money left to do this? Seriously???

They did it with TNG, looked at the results, and decided so. Their reasons must be clear, otherwise they would have produced HD also for DSN and Voyager. Why shouldn’t they?
