Star Trek TNG DVDs

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-isn't-that-special dept.

pgudge writes "startrek.com had a post about the paramount release of Star Trek The Next Generation on DVD. Claimed a around $100 for the season pack, including 7 DVD's. And that other season are to be released every other month thereafter. all done in Dolby Digital 5.1. Release date expected 26th march" Good way to watch them without suffering through TNN's ridiculous image squashing technology (Proudly proving that in the future everyone is either a pro wrestler, or shaped like a pear!)

    Yeah and someone will rip them and put them up on a file share service.

    I Have seen an ep of Enterprise in YUV2 MP43 format and it squishes down to about 128MB per episode and doesn't look too bad (even against one recorded with another standard at 450MB). However this is compression from TV. B5 was recorded in widescreen and could take more but that makes it frighteningly easy to distribute bootleg copies given an HQ source.

    I would guess that Warner Bros realises this and is beiung careful. This is a shame because B5 was good enough that I already own a bundle of eps in VHS format.
