Well, it's about time... :-)

I wonder if these are the existing 16:9 (cropped) HDTV transfers
that were shown on US television, or someone remastered them in
4:3?

(Either way, I'm getting this)

Oh, I just read the description on Amazon. Aspect ratio
1.78, so these are the cropped versions.

Unfortunately, Japanese items often seem to be outrageously expensive
in US dollars. And this is no exception -- including shipping from
Amazon.jp, the total cost is around US$340!

Oh no! I didn't read that, I just assumed they'd be 1:33 pillar-boxed
to match original aspect ratio...grrr! They make a big deal out of
being remastered by Technicolor Creative (I just did a feature film
(visual fx) with them by the way!) and then they mess it up. Double
grrr.

Technicolor was the company known to have done the widescreen
transfers of Thunderbirds and UFO many years ago. I think these
were done specifically to be shown on "Family Room HD" (a now
defunct satellite TV station). The Thunderbirds transfers got
released on Blu-ray in the UK years ago, and it's about
time the UFO ones did (although I think many people are
going to be wanting the series redone in 4:3)

Anyway, there's not likely to be much demand for these at
these prices...

Oh wait, maybe this *is* in 4:3... I just ran the Amazon.co.jp
description through translate.google.com, and this line looks
interesting:

"from 35mm negatives! Original implementation, into Blu-ray was
realized in the first time in the world, like the original broadcast,
recorded in the 4:3 screen size is the restoration carried out! Polite
in the telecine "Technicolor Creative Services" U.S. decorated with
bright colors are back!"

So maybe this is a brand new remastering in 4:3?

Can anyone read Japanese and confirm what this says?

Re: Japanese UFO Blu-Ray December 5th!

Found this on a German site - supposedly a BluRay release in "original
aspect ratio" happened in June..

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/UFO-Season-1-Episoden-01-09-Blu-ray/47511/

Nine episodes on a disk, though. Probably it's just a standard definition
presentation on a high capacity medium.

Ah well, nice for people who never bought the DVDs.

Yes, I bought one of those German UFO Blu-ray discs when it first
came out -- the video was standard definition PAL, no better
quality than a DVD release.

Indeed! Even one of the reviews on the Amazon.co.jp says that the
price is a little high... :-)

I wonder who exactly paid for this new remastering? Was most of
the cost paid for by Geneon Universal (hence the high price), or
did ITV and A&E also contribute (since they may also be releasing
the series on Blu-ray at some point).
