Would there be any way for you to release the source material that you used to make the DVD's so that i don't have to re-rip them and lose some quality?

thanks!

Exactly what do you need to rip them for?

The original source files for this project are 10Mb/s MPEG2 captures, at roughly 1.5GB per episode. There are 26 episodes, so that is one big chunk of data. (I was the one who did the capture and mailed the raw DVD files to Pittrek.) So what you're asking for is quite a tall order. I'm not adverse to sharing the raw files, but I'd need to know it was for a communal cause, not for some private project.

Pittrek did an amazing job with the preparation of the files and the mastering of the DVDs, and there is very little difference between the end product and my raw files. He applied some light clean-up that took a little crispness out of the line-work, but nothing you would detect without a side-by-side comparison. In my opinion, Pittrek's set is as good as it gets.
