Ok, back when I did this I didn’t know it was a preservation thing but I had a friend who I knew online send me this HD-TV rip of Penn & Teller Get Killed - I believe the file was 700+ MB and great quality after I tranferred it to DVD using Nero, and creating a menu and artwork. Well, I figured since it’s ripped from an HD channel, maybe someone else more knowledgable can make a hi-def DVD of this (if possible) - I figure the quality is as good as it’s going to get the way I did it, since it didn’t turn out larger than a single layer disc and is probably the closest to an official release as we’ll get

Anyways, I just went way off tangent there… if anyone wants the AVI of this I’ll see if I can dig it up out of my archives and upload it somewhere and see what is available to do with it. If anyone is interested in the DVD I made, let me know

Kind Regards,

Wow, this was broadcast in HD? I have a VHS rip that I made that I've been watching, but I'd love a widescreen version! I'd love to check out the AVI and see if someone could track down the original HD files to make a great HD-2-DVD.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

COOL, I'll dig around tonight and find the original files

Also, I have this on LD, but am not sure if maybe it has a commentary or something else extra - if so, I'd love to donate it to someone who can rip it and if possible send it back to me (although I don't have an LD player, I just love having an official copy of the movie)

I don't think the laserdisc had any extras. Was it even letterboxed?

Whatever, anything is probably better than the VHS I used, though that wasn't in bad shape. This is such a funny movie, I don't understand why it doesn't have a larger cult following.

same here, I think it's a great kinda thing to watch, especially if you know alot about Penn and Teller - almost like "A Hard Day's Night" or "Help" for P&T fans

Anyways, I'm looking at my LD but it says nothing about it being P&S or WS - MYSTERY!!!!

There are HD clips on youtube:

Still can't find any info concerning the laserdisc, it's probably worth someone with an LD player to check it out. I'm guessing it'd be full frame, but who knows?

yep those clips are sourced from the same source as mine - apparently it's made the rounds on the p2p circuit!
