Couple people PM’d me for this recently. I haven’t responded yet because I’m actually in the process of working on a Version 2. I don’t have an estimate of when I’ll be finished, I’ll update the first post when I have links ready.

Few things of note…

VIDEO:

  • I’m redoing all of the AI upscales across the board. (Version 1 was my first time using the software and I made a lot of rookie mistakes.)
  • Removing the 6 seconds of black I added to the start of all 3 episodes. This was done for delay purposes when I was casting to my TV, but I’d rather have the timing be 100% accurate.

AUDIO:

  • I’m using a much better method for creating the 5.1 sound mixes.
  • S1 Finale: Adding back the whooshing sound that was absent on the DVD, but present on the HDTV broadcast for the Season 1 Finale.
  • S3 Finale: I’ll be doing some sound design work to the sequences that I don’t have a 5.1 source for. Mainly Jack driving to the funeral parlor. I thought those parts really stood out like a sore thumb on Version 1.

Can you also fix that one shot in the season 1 finale you left off from the DVD around halfway? (I remember you said you left it off to keep the quality consistent)

It was an alternate shot in the uncut version

Also this isn’t necessary, but the HDTV broadcast is marginally better quality than the DVD footage only because the DVD has ugly EE not in the TV capture so it should be replaced just as a bit of a suggestion
