A few points: I do have the ST 25th on both VHS and LD. I no longer have any of the other LD’s previously mentioned. Forgive the ignorance, but since I found this site from a search, I have no idea what you all mean by “preserving” things. Are you a loosely affiliated group of people that work together trying to save video onto digital formats? Are there groups dedicated to particular projects?
OK “preserving” for the purpose of this site means “transferring films / TV shows / TV specials / documentaries which exist only in archaic (usually analogue) media to modern digital formats so that anybody has still access to them years later”.
Some people work alone, some people work in groups.
The final “products”, usually DVDs, mkv files or these days even AVCHDs and BluRays are then “shared” inside the “community” in a way which is prohibited to talk about publicly.
Also, are you looking for video only, or printed media as well? I have tens of thousands of pages of printed media as well as recorded media and am happy to share whatever what I can.
Depends on the project. Printed media are usually considered great bonus features to DVDs / Bluray discs.
I believe I have a 30th Anniversary ST special that was on TV, is that you are speaking of? I know I don’t have one on LD. I may have “The Star Trek Saga: From One Generation to the Next” recorded off-air, but I am not positive.
The only things I remember from the 30th anniversary was a Voyager/Frasier crossover and a Kenny G musical number. Plus people talking in an auditorium why Star Trek is/was important for them.
I have “Journey’s End” on VHS only. I also have, “William Shatner’s ST Memories”, “Inside Star Trek: The Real Story”, “DS9: BTS” and “William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy: The 25 Year Mission”, all on VHS.
The “Star Wars vs Star Trek: The Rivalry Continues” DVD had some previously unseen outtakes from “Star Trek V” and perhaps other material on it as well. It was a very strange release. I have it but haven’t seen it in quite some time.
Hm, neer heard about those outtakes. Are they different from those released on the Star Trek 5 DVD?
I don’t have any of the MTV ST Logs.
I’m almost positive that I have an excellent Beta recording of “Star Trek Voyager: Inside the New Adventures” that aired on UPN.
Is it this one ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO3TjPqsIEQ
That would maybe also be worth preserving.
Do you have copies of the “Star Wars Trilogy: The Definitive Collection” on Laserdisc? If memory serves, you would have to have several copies of the video content for each of the several audio commentaries, if some of them overlapped, which I believe they did. I have my box and would have to check the listings to be sure.
Some people have it here, there are even a few DVD preservations of this set.
Also, has anyone put the many deleted scenes from “A New Hope” that were on the “Making Magic” cd-rom? I can’t get my copy to work on Windows 10, but I think they were excellent.
There is a DVD preservation of those scenes and it looks pretty good as far as I can remember. Also most of them are on the 2011 Blu-ray set.
If you could let me know what, if any, of the titles I mentioned above are of interest to any group(s), I will make a note of it. Thanks.
Speeking for myself, I’d be interested in practically anything you mentioned in your post and the Sc-fi channels SEs 😃 I know, I’m greedy.
