Awesome! As for the film - I still wish the BBC when they releaed the specail longer version in widescreen 5 years ago would not have cropped it - why would they have done this? They even billed it as widescreen! I just don't understand why that network would do that?

But you have made me forget about this with your release -

Question - what are you doing about the Checkov hadn spray scene then?


I have no idea why the BBC would do that...

As for the "Checkov hand spray scene", we just cut out the 2 seconds. It's not important to the story at all, so *SNIP SNIP*...

Assuming this is the same 'smirk shot' you discussed earlier would in not be possible to overlay the fullscreen image on the widescreen? the shot seems fairly static and there is no movement in the background.

Based on the clip you posted before it should be possible or is the difference in quality too great?


This just might work... I would have to get my hands on a better source for that shop. The laserdisc is so washed out and it would not look good. I was thinking of buying a VHS copy, just for that shot and also parts of the soundtrack that have lots of distortion from the laserdisc being over 25 years old.
