Rob,
Agree with all that you say although depends on the effort they expend putting them onto Bluray. I find Bluray quality both picture and sound very variable. Was watching the complete DVD series over the last couple of days again with a good DVD player with up-scaling for me these DVD's come close to an "average" Bluray disk, a very good DVD cut. I certainly have enough detail to see all the bloomers, so not sure Bluray will make much difference, I wouldn't look to pay the upgrade unless and no idea if possible as it was a TV series if a 16:9 version was possible. Have to say just a remark in general it's amazing per episodes at the end how much previous episodes are cut and pasted in, I think your only getting maybe 10 mins of new film.... but I love it!

The episodes shown on HD cable/satellite channels were 'upscaled' to HD by the broadcaster, so the only way to get those would be if someone recorded them and then (illegally) uploaded them to a p2p server etc. It is possible to find software which will allow you to rip the DVDs and then upscale to HD so that you could theoretically create your own blu-ray discs, but it is debatable whether they would look any better when played back on an HDTV than just letting your DVD player/TV do the upscaling (which is the normal way DVDs are viewed on an HDTV.) Some of us are hoping that the original UFO filmstock is re-digitized directly to HD format and released on blu-ray by the copyright owners as this is the only way that we will ever get to see *true* HD quality versions, rather than upscaled ones, and only possible because the original footage is on 35mm filmstock (which exceeds HD resolution.)

These were then broadcast in the USA on "Family Room HD" for many years. I'm not sure if they were ever broadcast in 1920x1080, but I do know they were broadcast in 1280x1080 (an odd, anamorphic satellite TV resolution). Techicolour remastered these as 16:9 (same as for Thunderbirds), so the top and bottom of the original frame are missing. > so the only way to get those would be if someone recorded > them and then (illegally) uploaded them to a p2p server etc. This is true. Many years ago there were quite a few episodes (maybe half the series?) available as 720p files on the BitTorrent networks. Marc |

some dvd players with a hdmi output allows you to upscale also. my ps3 does this, so does a dvd recorder.
