Much has already been discussed about the horrid widescreen versions of the show that have surfaced on broadcast syndication and streaming services and such. Afaik though seasons 1-3 on Hulu are 4x3 and seasons 4-7 are widescreen (though idk if they use the “remasters” or the international DVD masters) which is at least fortunate for those seasons. But this project isn’t gonna focus on that.

While the US DVD releases are currently the official most preferable versions of the show to date, they aren’t necessarily 100% perfect either. Almost every episode originally featured a “previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer” segment before the episode started and they were all taken out for the US DVD releases. I want to potentially restore those to the 4x3 versions of the episodes because sometimes it resulted in audio anomalies in openings of episodes and the season 5 finale had a unique one that ended up becoming an easter egg on the season 7 DVD.

Supposedly streaming releases restore them but again, I wanna do them in their intended 4x3 aspect ratio.

Apparently the international DVD releases preserved them but I can’t find any rips of those to prove otherwise, if anyone can potentially provide me with any recordings whatsoever or international DVD rips that have those segments, please let me know, I want to restore them to the openings of the episodes.
