Yes, not to mention the organizational issues. Simple menus allowing user access to any isolated clip without having to watch the long documentaries would have been a godsend for this release. And so easy to do.

It's definitely glitchy. You'd think they'd just use the same time-tested ports.

Yes, that scene should have been in the episode, even if something else had to be cut. If it had been in the episode, CITY would have been twice as good. Because the love story would have been 10 times more powerful. Just proves that if a writer can make a good metaphor (or simile), they can...

The way the set was conceived, it's more of a curiosity than a reference source. So yes, one and done is probably right. But if you consider it as the special features we should have had for the TOS HD sets (which is the way I look at the Vault) that puts it in a more rewatchable light, at least...

Just a couple of opinions: The deleted scene from CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER between Kirk and Edith moved me deeply, as did Shatner's final comment about Nimoy's death and the flap about Shatner not attending Nimoy's funeral. There are some good interviews in the set. Really good. But it's a...

I don't think they are coordinated enough in their thinking to view it that way. I think they will exploit every niche market that legal hurdles (or imagined legal hurdles) don't keep them from exploiting.

Truth be told, when I was hard up for money, I used to play isolated scores and record them, them chop them into tracks and make my own soundtrack. It worked. And the cool thing about it, even if the episode had library music, I had the COMPLETE score for the episode, just as it appeared, and in...

You know, just a few simple changes and the Vault would have been magnificent. All they would have had to do is: 1: (as Josh has pointed out) Put all the Vault material in Swept Up; but 2: (and maybe more importantly) Create a menu so the user can go to any episode fragment and find any clip...

Technically, the Vault's isolated scores are not completely isolated, because there are some sound effects mixed in (wind at the beginning of Paradise, for example). That said, I agree with you--if the scores have been released already. But isolated scores for The Twilight Zone, for example...

I don't know if you guys have noticed it but some of the isolated music tracks aren't discrete; they have sound effects mixed in. Drives me nuts.

It is possible they didn't have the rights to present some of the clips in multiple iterations.

It's selling well.

There is much to enjoy about The Roddenberry Vault and I hope everyone finds something to enjoy. Based on the Amazon reviews, the masses appear to be enjoying it for the most part.

The bottom line is: you're asking for a different project and blaming The Roddenberry Vault for not being it. There are plenty of problems with this release, but faulting it for not being something it was never intended to be isn't one of them.

I don't disagree with you, but imagine how hard it was for the poor fellow who spent years crawling around in the vault (in the dark, late at night, with the ghosts of Crawford, Valentino and Brando unnerving him) when in the morning he would emerge beleaguered but proudly clutching an absolute...

In defense of CBS, it was never their intention to do that. I think it's fine to criticize what was advertised and what is on the set, but I can't in good conscience criticize it for not being something it never aspired to be. If nothing else, the fact you found the stuff on the Internet...

This is the absolute truth.

It's one thing for CBS to scrape the bottom of a barrel that's already been scraped, but what the fans get shouldn't look like scrapings. In this set, both in quality and execution, they often do.

The reviews on Amazon are jaw dropping. It's like they're reviewing a completely different product from the one we are discussing.

Mine looks to be out of sync.

Let me check mine.

The major problem on a project like this is that many people are hired to make sure a specific part of the performance is a certain way, and those specs never really take into account how all the pieces will come together when the symphony is finally played. There is a disconnect between the...

The entire Vault project was fifteen years too late.

Yes, Nimoy also had some unrealistic expectations of how he would be treated. He thought they (the studio) were all a family, that he would be treated with love and respect. He actually had to go to therapy when he realized the studio would just as soon screw him as say hi to him. That...

You are correct. I was working on a disc-based release. I created a special feature using nothing but media that had been cleared for the set, assuming it would also be cleared for special features use. Not even close. The rights issues are very convoluted and, sad to say, depressing for fans...

Sometimes I still can't believe I have that TOS soundtrack set (and the Lost In Space set, too). Still blows my mind.

This was originally scheduled for US release on Dec 6. Too bad it got pushed back a week.

My point was to correct a possible misunderstanding based on the title of this thread. I do not know if it is possible to correct the title of this thread or not. Either way, I am looking forward to this release. A lot of work was put into it.

My understanding is that the Roddenberry Vault is a stand-alone release and not a series of three season sets.

I'm thrilled for those who are looking forward to this, and I know how much work was put into it. But I am done rebuying TOS episodes.
