I’m currently looking for all 61 episodes of the 1999 WB series Roswell in their original 4:3 aspect ratio. This was another series done dirty by its home media release (Music/Audio/Aspect ratio changes).
A few years ago, someone in the Roswell fan community married the original broadcast audio to the anamorphic 16:9 DVD video but I’d like to undertake a new project to restore the original broadcast audio to better quality 4:3 video sources, adding back promos and bumpers to bring the presentation closer to their original broadcasts. The 16:9 video seems to be the only version available on physical home media sources.
I’ve been told that Hulu carries the 4:3 versions with the altered home media audio but I have no way to check and no way of cracking DRM to capture them, if I did.
I’ve seen photos on a fan website of an old bootleg DVD set that claimed it contained both “Full and Widescreen versions” but I cannot find anyone selling that version online anywhere.
If anyone can help, please let me know!
My plan is to release each episode to the fan community on the 25th Anniversary of each one’s original broadcast. So time is a factor, but not a huge one.
Thanks for reading my proposal and considering my project. I hope to hear from you soon.
