xhonzi, you need to stop using DVDActive images, or rehost them yourself.

How is Buffy invading every aspect of my life so quickly?!  I only started watching it ten days ago!

Ash it is, then.

Sure, that works too, but that might make people think I'm from California, when in fact I've never even been there.

(makes me wish Firefly had gotten a second season, I'd love to see how batshit crazy that could have gotten)

Hell, I wish Firefly had gotten an entire first season!

 Season? What are you two talking about?

Firefly was an epic miniseries, like Root, or The Thornbirds, and it was awesome how the final episode was released to theaters. What a great mini-series.

Oh, you mean like that 23-episode Heroes miniseries?  That sure was great, wasn't it?

"Ash" works for me, I suppose.  I'm used to it by now.

It's been a while since I've seen it, so I don't remember much.

We're in season 3 somewhere of Buffy now...

Haha, that's kinda funny - I'm halfway through Season 3 myself at the moment (watched 3x10 "Amends" last night, so I'm on 3x11 "Gingerbread," which will put me halfway through the 22-episode season).

So far, Season 1 was good, Season 2 was pretty freakin' amazing (makes me wish Firefly had gotten a second season, I'd love to see how batshit crazy that could have gotten), and Season 3 is, so far, fairly slow, but not bad.

I'm still not sure whether I'm going to try and watch Angel in tandem with Buffy or not.  The latter has already taken over most of my free time, and I don't know if I want to add another 5 seasons to that.

Plus a buddy of mine who loves Buffy told me that Angel sucks.

Oh, and Xhonzi, the episode you're thinking of is in Season 2.  It's up there as one of my favorites, definitely, along with the everyone's-nightmares-become-real episode in Season 1, the everyone-turns-into-their-Halloween-costumes episode in Season 2, and the adults-start-acting-like-teenagers episode in Season 3.

I like Booshman's cut.  There are aspects of it I dislike, but overall it's very well done, especially (as you mention) the color changes and such.

I just wish it was in NTSC.

Heh, it wouldn't surprise me if Ewan and Hayden snuck off between takes to share a spliff.

Close, Frink.  Season 7 finale.  (I Googled, though, so I can't claim any of the points.)

If I do it, they'll both be converted into Avid DNxHD anyway, and I'll handle the framerate conversion and color correction within Avid.

I'd just use the Japanese one's audio, since Avid can't work with 5.1, and I wouldn't need to change the audio anyway.  My video can just be muxed to the Japanese's 5.1 audio.

Then I'd export a master (possibly DNxHD or ProRes) and use that to make MKVs, AVCHDs, and whatever else would be desired.

The conversion into Avid would bring it to a higher-quality, higher-bitrate format, so very little, if any information will be lost.  Same with the export master, and all rendered effects (color correction) within Avid.

I just need the files to work from and I can do this (I think) rather quickly.

Someone has to have it!

In the late '70s-early '80s?  The better question is, who wasn't on coke?

(says the guy who was born a decade later)

Perhaps, but it's still the best source to replace the parts in the Japanese version that don't have a clean image.

2004 SE.  Don't forget that the 1997 SE had vastly different color timing, and was much closer to the original colors.

"Marginally better" does not equal "fixed."

Of course.  They'd just be re-encodes of the HD broadcasts, at 1080p, with no filtering, unless some color correction is necessary to help the two sources blend together seamlessly.

I'm glad there are other TMBG fans here.

Or put into a special ROTJ:R savings account? ;)

surely all fans would prefer that than a refund.

I know I would!

1. I highly doubt they'll be fixed

2. The 2004 DVDs rushed?  What?  They had years to work on them!  They weren't rushed, and there is and was no excuse for the many, many issues present in the set.
