ReverendBeastly:

I checked the DAP versions and they seem to be the same as the ones that I've found.  Same time, codecs, TechTV...etc..

I wish I knew an expert that was willing to share information about Max.  I'd like to know which version in broadcast were complete.  I have VHS versions of A&E and Bravo and Sci Fi... The Sci Fi ones seemed really cut up... either the Bravo or the A&E ones had awful sound... sigh.

I made one DVD disc w/ the first 3 episodes on it (with PopCorn) last week... and it seems ok...  The problem is the source material on episodes 1 & 2 were 340 MB and episode 3 was 516 MB and was so much better looking and sounding.

So, I'm still looking I guess.

Any help would be great.

This may not be the place for something like this… but I figured I’d give it a shot anyway.  I’m trying to put together a Max Headroom Preservation set here, and well…  You never know where you might meet someone with a similar interest.

I’m a big Huey Lewis and the News fan.

I was curious if anyone ever put together a collection of all the Huey Music Vids and similar stuff that has been issued in the past.  Most of it is no longer in print.

I have an old OOP Laser Disc with some video tracks on it…  and I have a tape of the making of “Stuck With You,” which is a lot of fun.  And that’s it for me.

There are also Japanese DVD and PAL VHS video sets with a Making Of: Doin’ It All For My Baby and other videos not on my Laser Disc.

So… anyone know anything cool… or wanna help out?

Hey Psycho_Dayv:

I have the british movie (done 2 years before the American Series) which is pretty much the same story as the pilot of the American TV show.  A few different actors, but mostly the same concept (Bryce does become a good guy in the series).

I'll have to see if the good folks over at http://www.maxheadroom.com have a list of all the Coke Commercials and such.  I am mostly interested in the Adventure series.

I don't know much about the Max MTV show.  Was it just one season?  I guess I'd better check.

ReverendBeastly:  Thanx for the info.  I found the tracker... d'oh<  As usual, it was staring me right in the face.  My big problem will be that my ratio will be crap for a looooonnng time with all the files I want to D/L... Oh well... sigh.

Thanx to all of you for your involvement and help.  Hopefully I'll get the best versions around and make a nice Box Set for all to enjoy.

~leesa

Wow... thanx so much for the feedback.

I'd love to check the DAP versions, but it seems they are ed2k files and I can't seem to get DonkeyHelper to work on my Mac.  It may be futile anyway since it says on DAP that there are no "Maintainer" or "Sources available."

Any help, folks?

That sounds like a good candidate for a signature.

What's a signature, sir?

I might be willing to host them on a traditional server. I'm getting quite tired of torrent shaping (even FiOS is doing this to me now) and hate rapidshare. PM me if you want to give it a shot. We could do this as an initial "seed" that gets removed relatively quickly, but goes to enough people so that newsgroups/rapidshare/demonoid all see releases.

That sounds great... I'm not sure how a traditional server would work(?)  Rapidshare sucks... ZShare or megaupload are much more user-friendly in terms of D/Ling many files.  As familier as I am with torrent groups... I am equally or more unfamilier with newsgroups (I tried to get the Spinal Tap from a newsgroup via an nzp file that i D/Led from Rapidhsare... and honestly I have no idea how to work it.  I've never used newsgroups).

Nope, just enthusiasm :)

Enthusiasm is always a good thing...

I guess the original poster for this forum isn't around any more...  So, I started another thread at:

 

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Max-Headroom-Preservation-Project/post/324571/

I did recieve the first two volumes from a very nice member here... but I'd love to get Volume 6.  

I am on a Mac and I have never used newsgroups, so I had no luck getting the .nzp file to work.

Volumes 1 & 2 would be a bit iffy to post on "legitimate" torrent sites, but I could certainly put Volume 6 up at demonoid as soon as I get it... if that's what ThatArtGuy wants.

A 4 (or 5) DVD set of all of the American Adventure TV show: Max Headroom.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom_(TV_series)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt008956
 

I’ve been trying to find the best quality copies of the 14 episode American TV series: Max Headroom to prepare a Box Set of the complete series.

I have all of the episodes from the Tech TV Network in .avi format ranging in size from 300 to 600 MGs. I also have versions on VHS from other Networks. I’m not sure what the differences are in the different edits from the different networks (Sci Fi, A&E, Bravo, Tech TV, etc.) Obviously, I’d like to get the most complete versions. Any help here would be appreciated.

When I find the best versions available I will transcode 3 episodes to a DVD to make 5 disc set that I will make available as a torrent. I have a few decent versions of Coke commercials and the Art Of Noise video. Good copies would be appreciated.

Any help at all on this project would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx, ~leesa I’m not sure where else to post to a forum concerning this project.
