I’ll say I wouldn’t want to buy this. I’ve seen from the original box sets that episodes look terrible on HD screens. They need to be cleaned up and encoded at a lower compression rate or something.

It’s £112 on Amazon UK which seems a pretty good price for 133 hours of television. Certainly when you compare it to what the old VHS tapes were for two episodes, about £12.99 and that was in 1992 – at that price the whole series would be well over £1156! So it’s 10 times cheaper than 15 years ago – bargain.

Only problem is if they decide to release an HD version in a year or two. I’d be annoyed about that if I got this set.

Re: 59
The answer is Yes, actually.
But thank you for your opinion, which amused me.

Re 59: Are they even reauthoring these discs? It looks like they’re just reprinting the original season sets and throwing in an extras disc.

Even if they are reauthoring, I have reauthored plenty of my store-bought DVDs on a clunky computer with a generic DVD burner. Sha1sum shows them to be bit-perfect with the master on my hard drive. If I can do it, I’m pretty sure Paramount can, too. There’s no reason to believe, as some say, that these will be inferior in quality to the original season sets.

Oceanhopper, what are you on about. Do you even know how DVDs are authored? Doesn’t look like it.
