If this HD version has the rumored "stigmata" ending and comic version of the EEV crash with the alien larva running from Newt to Ripley, I will wholeheartedly endorse this preservation project.

Oh wait.

Well since it will be a High Definition Broadcast, I thought it some of us would want to know about it and check it out. I will not be able to record it in HD and preserve it myself. But I will be able to watch in in HD and see how it compares with the transfers that I have in the Legacy and Quadrilogy box sets. Seeing that Blade Runner in High Definition was done by at least two different members of this forum and there are multiple versions of Blade Runner in HD out there. I thought it might be of interest to someone.

Yeah but in a few months this will probably be out on HD-DVD so its it really worth the effort?

The reason why BR was done was because the (then) current version was crap.

Alien 3 has a fantastic 2 disc set out right now.

Hi Suntech! Did you see it? I guess it was the standard old cut, right?

Would there be a way for you to send me the raw capture so that I can make a nice Xvid out of it?

No. The Cable company has set the record once flag. I recorded it once to my DVR ( A tivo like device) there is no way to transfer it to another device (i.e. by firewire to my computer).

INHD shows all of their films in 1.85, including Alien 3, cropped from the original 2.35. There is no sense in capturing this.
