dolariDid you know the remastered Star Trek episodes came out today?
Yeah, it seems no one did. I knew, but only because AICN made a big deal about it. Otherwise, I've seen one press release and no ads for the updated show.
They took the 1966 Trek, remastered the negative to HDTV standards, redid all the effects shots in CGI and matched them to the original elements, so they're the same shots, just "cleaner" and more realistic. They even reorchestrated the music in 5.1 note for note.
It's very nice. :)
Pictures!
The opening credits, and a good example of what quality I'm getting on captures these days. 640x480, 9MB, XVid Video, MP3 Audio.
It's showing on KVNA in the Austin area Saturdays at 4PM and again at 11PM. Thirty minutes from now!
My only complaint? The stars are all white now. They lost their 1966s technicolor brightness! Ah, well, it's worth that loss...
...oh and KVNA has a nasty buzz on the right side channel that HARD to get rid of.
