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?
