Do these DVDs contain the unedited Showtime versions of the episodes, or the syndicated broadcast versions? I ask because the Canadian release of the new Outer Limits episodes used the broadcast versions. Thanks, -David

Are you sure each episode is on the disc twice? It is possible to set up the DVD so that Titles 3-6 are the individual episodes, and that title 1 is a "play all" which uses the same VTS_0x.vob's as the individual episodes. The best way to check if there are dual episodes is to check the raw...

I just wanted to thank everyone who has posted here -- I've learned a lot, and appreciate your contributions! I also wanted to followup and say I watched the next episode (The Naked Now) and the problem seemed to be less prevalent than in "Encounter at Farpoint". -DB

Morgan-- I can see this during normal play mode on a non-progressive (regular NTSC) system. I am a bit confused though -- are you saying this is a flaw with the DVD mastering and should not be present? I got the impression reading other responses that the fields were mixed this way on the...

rutger_s -- I only went frame by frame to figure out what the heck the flashing was, which is when I discovered frames like the one I posted. John G -- You explanation makes sense, that during the video editing process, fields from concurrent frames come together to form a complete mixed frame...

NO NO NO NO NO!!!! I just found info on the forthcoming DVD at what I believe is the oficial Buena Vista site, and it is going to be PAN & SCAN 1.33:1 Ruthless People DVD info at BV Entertainment's video.com NO OAR = NO SALE as far as I'm concerned. Can anyone confirm this to be true...

Just checked prices at dvdpricesearch, and the specs there show this as 4:3. Worse is that Pan & Scan is implied, as non-anamorphic WS titles show as LBX next to screen format. I checked known P&S titles, and they show as 4:3 next to screen format. Don't know how reliable the specs they...
