OK so if I understand this correctly you guys have the LD bit perfect PCM for Star Trek 1-5(still need 6, I hope we find it)

According to the thread, the current rips are bit perfect PCM for 3, 4, and 6, then non bit perfect PCM for 1 and 2.

5 is the one not yet ripped.

That said, the LDs of the original Star Trek films are relatively easy to find. And the greater issue is finding someone with the equipment tor rip.

and these 1080i files are way better then the BD video? why are they better?

The 1080i files, which I haven't seen (not a Usenet user), are free from the heavy DNR and EE that plagued many of the BD transfers. They're old HDTV transfers, but, at least, they look film-like....

Also, Voyage Home has additional picture information on the top and bottom, and the Wrath of Khan is the alternate director's cut (without the blue tint of the BD).

also what is wrong with the BD audio, or would the idea here be to have the LD PCM as an option like we do with most of our releases?

As far as I can tell, the difference is just that the BD is a remix, and the LD is the theatrical audio. I'll leave it to those with better ears than mine to sell the differences.
