    Star Trek: TOS: The Roddenberry Vault Season One (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    There are reels for all three seasons, though the third-season reel wasn't seen as often on the bootleg circuit. It was the '90s before I got to see the third season reel. I'm sure there are probably still rights/permissions issues that keep the blooper reels out of official circulation...

    There are those on some other forums saying the the reason for the interlacing is that they believe the clips aren't on the disc in true HD, but are upscales. I haven't seen this, so what do you guys think?

    Star Trek: TOS: The Roddenberry Vault Season One (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    There was an article/interview with one of the guys overseeing the project about a week before release, and from what he said in the interview, there is no more footage. They used everything (yes, everything) in this release. He said something to the effect that "I know fans out there will want...

    Pitch correction wasn't extremely common with PAL DVD (or moreso VHS), mostly on Hollywood blockbuster films, rather than TV shows. It's more common with material that suffers from "24fps slowdown", which is the exact opposite problem as PAL speedup...in that case, material that was shot at...

    I'm no expert, but I thought pitch-correction for PAL DVDs was mostly limited to big-studio blockbuster releases (like the Lord of the Rings films. While it's possible this was done, I certainly wouldn't bank on it. We all know Paramount sometimes likes to pinch pennies.

    PAL speedup is only a problem with standard-definition material (PAL VHS and DVD, or PAL material on a blu-ray). High-definition material does not suffer from this problem. Also, it's only a problem if the PAL DVDs were sourced from masters that came from film transfers (the 24fps film needing...

    Just remember, though, with the DVD format, those R2 sets are likely going to suffer from the dreaded "PAL-speedup" syndrome, where the audio plays 4% too fast.

    When Gene and Majel stole these clips from the Desilu/Paramount vault, their intention was to cut them up into "film clip" packets to sell through Lincoln Enterprises, the mail order company he started up "to give Majel something to do". So, it's quite likely that the outtakes for Elaan that...
