What's the story on the high-quality commercials?

They are mkvs of the WMAR commercials.  Generally decent video and sound, not earth shattering though.  In the end I'd say a couple of notches below KCCI's quality.  I had to re-encode them into mpeg2s in order to be able to edit them into KCCI without re-encoding the special.  Overall with what I'm doing with the sound I think I've got them to match and flow pretty good.  The only thing I'm wondering now is what's the best way to get this out there when I'm done.  I kind of can only do rapidshare right now, but I know everyone has their preference whether it be groups, torrents, etc.

Looks like I'll have to go back to your site Skot to check out the new McQuarrie stuff.  It seems like the "might have been" was something a lot better.  From the info on your site I decided to track down a copy of Filmfax 69/70 with that great article in it.  Reading it there definitely was a lot more potential in the the earlier stages, before the TV people just took things over.  Looking at it in its 2 hour bloated state now you can almost squint your eyes and see the leaner/better 1 hour long story that it was supposed to be.  Well almost :)
