    Cropped CGI on DVD?: Final Clarification

    Right, this would mean that it was shot in Super35 rather than Anamorphic Scope. That's a shame. What is vital now, given this informaiton, is how each shot was composed and intended to be viewed. I suspect that, given the rotation of different directors, this was probably a mixed bag, with...

    Cropped CGI on DVD?: Final Clarification

    Thanks for replying. Question answered. No, this was not my thinking (although true). I had merely read an article elsewhere online which suggested that the latter seasons of B5 had CGI rendered in 16:9. You have now shown that to be false, so thank you. However, your useful images have...

    Cropped CGI on DVD?: Final Clarification

    Okay, I realise this has been discussed ad nauseam, but going throught the mass of old data I am finding contradictions. It was my understanding that all the CGI shots in all seasons were rendered in 4:3, leading to cropped and/or zoomed images for the 16:9 DVD sets. Now I have also read that...

    "Rangers" on DVD at last?

    Re: Bay13 - Synopsis of Rangers pilot *SPOILERS Thanks for the information. Shame the old packaging has been universally replaced. I detest lined-up Amarays. That's another stumbling block on my indecision over converting my collection to DVD. As for Rangers, I've just seen it in stores and...

    "Rangers" on DVD at last?

    Re: Bay13 - Synopsis of Rangers pilot *SPOILERS I agree that the cover looks nice. I wonder if they will be adding that B5 logo at any point (looks a little bare at the top there). Looking forward to some higher res images when Amazon get around to updating their entry. I had to buy the VHS...

    "Rangers" on DVD at last?

    Re: Bay13 - Synopsis of Rangers pilot *SPOILERS This cover art being discussed is in fact the old VHS cover. The new DVD will have a new, and IMO far superior cover in line with the style of the previous sets. Currently, the only place I can find an image of it online is at ChoicesDirect (see...

    Will it ever be on UK Terrestrial?

    When I said it "could follow this pattern", I mean as in it the option is there should they desire it, not that it was a very likely possibility. I agree, this model of 2 episodes per VHS is all but dead. There is another option - they could release 4 episodes per DVD like "Farscape", although...

    Will it ever be on UK Terrestrial?

    Note that I said in the style of "Video Volumes" ala Star Trek, and Babylon 5. The X-Files was only ever released in the form of "Feature Videos" and then boxsets (I admit it did start out very early and very briefly doing VHS volumes, but they quickly stopped after about 6). Same with...

    Will it ever be on UK Terrestrial?

    Thanks to everyone who helped answer my question. I would have replied to return questions about UK TV but it looks like people have beat me to it. I don't know that much about Jeremiah other than basic story outline, and cast & crew. Is it very strong in terms of...

    Will it ever be on UK Terrestrial?

    As someone without SKY TV, I'd really like to see this on terrestrial. I don't know a great deal about it, but it seems quite intriguing and it's also from the pen of JMS of course. I fear it may be one of those shows that never makes it to the UK other than SKY. Failing this, is there any...

    Excitement at watching LotR for very first time!

    Re: Excitement at watching LotR for very first tim Now, I may be in error, but I understood that the Ranger training facilities were in Tuzanor ("The City of Sorrows") characterised by the huge waterfall where Entil'Zha Sinclair walked in "War Without End, Part I". I believe Delenn mentioned...

    Excitement at watching LotR for very first time!

    This makes me feel indescribably terrible. Its an awful thought to think that I will never again see so many wonderful images unless it is on one of my old tapes or in my mind. It was a sad thought when it first seemed there would be no more B5 series', but now... even if there were any more...

    Excitement at watching LotR for very first time!

    So who was responsible for throwing away the millions of dollars worth of CGI? How was it allowed to happen? Does this mean its unlikely that any of the old B5 exteriors (Centauri Prime, Minbar, MarsDome etc) will ever be seen again in their original forms? (not that there's likely to be any...

    Excitement at watching LotR for very first time!

    I thought Entil'zha had direct authority over the Rangers? Even so, why the hooded robes? Grey for the Grey Council and hoods because they were a secretive bunch, but these lot have no need for it. Besides, surely other groups shouldn't be allowed to wear the robes of the Grey Council - it...

    Excitement at watching LotR for very first time!

    I still don't know the full story of all the missing CGI. Is it gone forever, no hope of seeing the old Minbar again or anything? Also, if all the images were lost, did they just re-do the station or what? On another matter, someone mentioned that that was not the Grey Council we saw. I must...

    Excitement at watching LotR for very first time!

    Garibaldi'sHair, No, it's not out of stock. It took just over 4 weeks to arrive from there, and it was such a good feeling when it finally arrived. The cover could have been better I think; it wasn't very B5-ish if you know what I mean (not that you asked :D). It should have featured the logo...

    Crusade DVDs - Some News

    I would absolutely love a Crusade DVD set and would almost certainly buy it, even if it came with no extra's whatsoever (although I probably shouldn't say that). I never bought any of the B5 DVDs because I have every episode on Warner Home Video - the only B5 DVD I've ever bought is the special...

    Here are two alternatives for you, but there may well be others that I'm not aware of: http://www.sanity.com.au/product.asp?intProductID=455417&intArtistID=163382 http://www.chaosmusic.com/shop/detail.asp?productID=828418 Remember it's only PAL VHS of course. Are you in the UK too? Have you...

    Excitement at watching LotR for very first time!

    I just had to express my joy at finally getting to see Legend of the Rangers: To Live and Die in Starlight. As a UK B5 fan with only terrestrial TV, and with no video/DVD release forthcoming, I thought I'd never get to see it. I have to thank whoever it was that posted info about the...

    Projected 'Crusade' air dates?

    Re: Projected \'Crusade\' air dates? All we need now is some kind of doorway... maybe there's an old one made by the Vorlons rolling around hyperspace somewhere, another mistake out of so many?
