Nearsighted Scrappile

I have shared it at MySpleen. That’s the best I could do.

My “statement” about the project:

Project finished Sept. 6, 2024!

In 2022, I managed to acquire a 1080p MILLENNIUM upscale project from a user named “TVArchive” at originaltrilogy.com before he disappeared from the forum. After seeing the lack of quality in the Chinese collection from eBay, I finally decided to make a Blu-ray set.

• It is a 12-disc BD-50 set. 4 discs per season.
• There are no subtitles.
• The audio is from the official DVD’s.
• The aspect ratio is correctly maintained.
• The X-Files S07E04 “Millennium” is included as a bonus.
• All files have been tested and burned with ImgBurn.
• The ISO’s are region-free and will play on any player/console that can play Blu-ray.
• Total size: 453GB.

I’ve created the first disc and I gotta say these upscales lend themselves to the medium quite nicely. I guess this will become a project worth doing.

I did a little math (uh-oh). A season of 22 episodes would comfortably fit on 4 BD-50’s and 1 BD-25. It would be possible to squeeze it on to just 4 BD-50’s. That would be 5 episodes per disc for 2 discs, and 6 episodes per disc for the other 2 discs.

I think that would be a lot better than the 11 episodes per BD-25 disc we get with the Chinese set.

Yeah I’m referring to the ones on eBay. I decided to keep them as they look good enough. It’s likely my player’s upscaling, but it keeps me from having to make my own, at least for now. I will keep this project on a backup drive indefinitely, though. Another strike against the bootleg set is that so many episodes are on BD-25’s.

I’m thinking of making a Blu-ray set of these upscales, but I don’t know if it will be necessary with the set that is being sold now. It would be a lot of work, and a lot of BD-50’s, and I don’t have the means to package them. It would just be a lot of .ISO files.

Maybe I should pick up the bootleg and see how it compares to the MKV’s. They may be from a completely different source.

Does anyone have the bootleg Blu-ray set that’s been going around? I was considering making Blu-rays, but I don’t know if that set is any good or what it’s source is.

Okay then. Less work for me.

Next month (May 2024), I will be putting up the first season of this Millennium 1080p upscale on 1337x. It’s a public tracker, so hopefully the people requesting it will find it. If all goes well, the second and third seasons will follow.

I hope this helps. I know all too well how aggravating it is when something is out of your grasp.

I have it, but I have no means to share it. I put it up on MySpleen last year but if you’re not already a member, you’re screwed. The invites have been closed for YEARS.

Hey Harmy!

Do you have an “official” DE logo graphic that I could use for menu pages and whatnot?

I’m sorry, but if someone can point me to a simple torrent or something, I’d appreciate it. All of this info is a bit much. I just want to watch Harmy’s work.

I wanted to print some blu-rays, but I can’t seem to find the download for the covers still up anywhere. Would anyone be able to help me out?

I’ve also been wondering if there is a folder with the incredible artwork from so many people somewhere. Please link us!

Yes!!

Well well well. The 4K is out and our fears have been realized. It is absolute JUNK! I’m headed to the Spleen for the OTC. If someone here has something better, please LET ME KNOW!

Every time I get an email about this thread…

Damn. I thought there was an update. I’m pretty sure it’s dead, unfortunately.

We’re knocking on September here. I hope Harmy’s okay.

It’s on Myspleen, but if you’re not already a member, fuggedaboudit.

Are there any updates on 3.1?

Brutal indeed. I had uploaded many torrents over a period of several years with no issues. Then it was gone in a blink with no explanation. Someone said they were cleaning up spammers and other negative things, yet I was never reported as such. 1337x was the last public tracker for me, so I guess it helps to keep my ISP from yelling at me over data usage, lol.

I used to be able to upload at 1337x until a giant purge happened. I was demoted without explanation. Matter of fact, I can’t even ask what happened because you have to be at a certain level to even ask a question, lol.

Can I please have links to download these upscales in a private message?

It’s on the spleen now. The other links have expired.

Same here. All of the direct downloads have problems. Maybe I should just go to the spleen and grab one of the torrents. I can’t wait for 3.1 anymore, lol.
