Note: If you want to see a sample, download the first rar and rename it with an MKV extension, or simply drop it onto MPC to play. No compression is used on the archives, only "store" mode.
Another personal project I have been working on. Since we may never see a studio remaster of this great old series, I thought I would try to improve it slightly. Have you tried watching the DVD's on a highend TV?
I have upscaled and brought out the colours to be watched on UHDTV's or similar; converted the audio to DTS and also took the 5.1 track and downmixed to 2.0 (2.1) stereo for those that want it.
With a possible new movie - a reboot - coming out in a few years (announced at one of the comic-cons this summer), there is a slight chance we will see proper remasters based off of the original sources with, hopefully, new CG added. Someone suggested I call these "Enhanced" versions, which is true I suppose, but I will just keep posting as I have been doing.
The Season 3 discs are much nicer to work with. There were still 4 screen sizes used in post production, and I have cropped out a couple pixels from each side again to lessen the black lines that are visible. Cinematography is much better than Season 2 as you will see.
Due to the heavy grain and bluring on the original DVD transfers (less starting with Season 3), I don't think much more can be done to these episodes to improve the quality. There are some other little problems that show up from time to time like film scratches and fuzz.
Best viewed with Media Player Classic with the EVR renderer enabled or the MadVR renderer installed.
VLC 3.0 beta does a decent job of rendering, but it's still not perfect. VLC 2.x should be deleted from your system. ;)
Of course, what ever you watch them on, the episodes will look better than they do now. You just may not be able to see the beautiful deep blacks of space as they should be seen, if you view on standard displays.
Hope some of you enjoy these.
