If you are a resident of my country and pay your TV licence fees you can commission the TV station (at least the state run stations) to provide you with a recording of a programme even if it is from the 1980's. Unfortunately this is quite expensive (about 50 to 60 US Dollars per episode!!!) and only possible if they archieved it. You are free to choose whether you want the recording on VHS or DVD. But the original source comes directly from the tape as the station got it from the studio. This means there are no logos impressed or any other ageing effects on it. This is like making a DVD from the original master tape. Someone did this for season one and invested a lot of money at his own expense. Unfortunately the very first episode was lost in the archives so he could only get episodes 2 to 13. He made a DVDRip out of it and that is what I have (Video: Xvid 640x480 25fps 1897kbps; Audio: MP3 48000Hz stereo 128kbps). I asked him if he plans to buy season two as well but he didn't answer and left the forum after a disput with other forum members so I guess he won't. If I had the money I could also buy the episodes of season two but I assume the TV station doesn't have the complete season since some episodes of season two were never broadcasted here. Well, of course this also means that the audio track is not English but I assume this is no problem because the episodes could easily be dubbed. The title at the beginning and some other information like "based on an idea of George Lucas" etc. is also translated but I also assume that this is not a big problem because it is neither annoying nor couldn't it be fixed with cutting in the English titles...

I think an exchange shouldn't be a problem if Pittrek is interested...
