Wow... I'm surprised anyone was paying attention... Yay!!!
Going to TVShowsOnDVD won't really help. From what I understand Max is one of their top rated unreleased shows... and the reason it is in limbo is because of ownership. Lorimar used to own part of it... but Lorimar was sold... and... but... and... It gets very complicated.
I did some work for a company that tried to license it a few years ago and it was a nightmare just trying to figure the ownership.
If you go to http://www.maxheadroom.com/ there is much info on the whys and wherefores.
I have a good bud who is a A/V engineer... and we are gonna try to transcode the .avi ones that I have... and hopefully they'll play smoothly on DVD players that play data... I'll let everyone know...
We also might then try to make a VIDEO_TS version. The .avi versions I have wouldn't "Popcorn" to VIDEO_TS without substantial problems because of the odd codecs... But if we transcode them first... who knows.
I have three different VHS versions... The Bravo version has awful sound... high end distortion. The Sci Fi Channel ones are cut... It is so disappointing. Someone should make .avis from the Japanese LD box set that came out years ago.
Any more info from you folks would be greatly appreciated!
Thanx for those who chimed in!
