UPDATE: Season 2 is complete. I began work on Season 3 but my DVDs have issues. It figures as this is the “expensive season” set. I have bid on a few different sets, so please bear with me as I have to get a new box set delivered to upscale. UGH.

I could rip my set and send them to you if you want?

I agree, I don’t remember those X-Files DVDs as being very good visually. Another issue with The X-Files is the amount of 90s effects that weren’t very good to begin with. Upscaling those could introduce tons of aliasing and other problems. I think I have a DVD set around here somewhere and I’ll check out S2 at some point to see if my gear can do anything with it.

Millennium Season 1 has been upscaled, encoded and is in the ‘done’ pile. Beginning work on Season 2 next week!

Some of THE X-FILES DVDs had some weird compression but would be neat to have the OAR, including original font, which the BDs use a weird aspect ratio and NOT the original font. I own all 9 OG seasons of THE X-FILES on BD, but it’s weird that 20th Century FOX/TV used the film frame and not matched to TV ratio.
Excellent news regarding MILLENIUM Season 1 and the great upscaler you’re using!
Ever considered The Lone Gunmen and Harsh Realm for upscaling?

I have downloaded all of the episodes and I am just blown away by the quality.
They really do look like genuine HD video and not upscaled DVDs. The only problem
I have with this project is that now I have to find the time to watch the entire
series again.

If you own these episodes on DVD and would like a link to these fan upscales, please let me know. Cheers to all.

I bought the PAL version of the DVD box sets all the way back in 2007, and I’d love to have the link. Please … 😃

Thank you so much … having just checked a few scenes, I must say this looks spectacular!

I wish someone would do such a thing for the TNG era Star Trek series’, especially DS9 and Voyager. As someone who is not a fan of recreated special effects, I’d love to see TNG itself getting this treatment as well. But I gues that will never happen.

First post to this great forum! I’m a long-time television producer and I’ve waited for YEARS for FOX and Chris Carter to release a proper HD set for “Millennium”. I’ve given up, so I am upscaling/regrading my DVD set using a combination of broadcast equipment and software. The pilot is finished and looks fantastic. Screenshots/clips/updates to follow.

Hi there, it looks like this has been released? Would love to take a look at your upscaling technique if possible. Huge fan of Millennium Thanks
