I have access to HDTV airings of the films from IFC last Summer. I've only actually taken the time to rip Jaws the revenge so far (the rest are still on my cable box), but in it's raw form (complete with commercials and in 1080i format) it's 12.1 GB in size. I was having problems with my Cable signal around this time, and I actually recorded them twice in an effort to clear up digital artifacts. I believe these 2nd rips are of better quality, but I actually haven't watched any of these presentations, so i can't promise they're all that great.

I rip things in 1080i at 13mbps (the highest settings my capture device supports). I know AMC has been showing the films lately as well and I could capture fresh airings from there if need be also (assuming that the films are shown again). The HDTV airings didn't look like upscales to me, but I can't state that definitively. I'm happy to help as long as I'm given access to the final product (and preferably if you could organize them into a BDMV format as I'd like to create BD-R's.)

Sure, any help is appreciated and I will upload the final BD-Rs to the spleen. Are the films cropped with logos on AMC and IFC?

The IFC logo comes on and eventually fades away for a bit. Sadly it's there for quite a bit of the movie if I'm not mistaken. The AMC broadcasts don't have any logos from what i remember but I don't have captures of those at the moment. I'd have to record them the next time they air. I initially went with the IFC captures as at the time this was the only place airing the films in HD that I was aware of as I don't have any premium movie channels, and I also know that IFC doesn't edit their films for content, so i was guaranteeing myself uncensored versions, something I doubt AMC does. I never planned to make them into a full on project as I figured at some point official discs would be released, and for me this would suffice until that time. The films were all presented in 1.78:1.
