I posted this over at indyfan.com, but that place seems dead, and I didn't get a whole lot of response, but I have added the little input I have received, to this post:
Assuming that when they realease the Young Indy DVD's they will be the new edits (with two original episodes as a single "movie"), and not the original TV episodes, there should be some attempt to make the originals available to those who would like them.
Never one to suggest someone do something without being willing to do it myself. I wanted to see what kind of support I'd get if I were to attempt such a project. So I guess I'm posting to see if anyone is interested???
VCD's are my new favorite form of preservation, since they're approximately the same quality as VHS, only digital, so they don't loose quality over time. That is probably the format I would target, with others available. And of course it would all be volunteer and free, so as not to step on any toes (infringe copyrights).
To follow one idea behind making a high-quality transfer to digital, I know they whole series was released on LaserDisc in Japan. They are in English with Japanese subtitles. LD would definitely be the highest quality source I know of. Let me know if you know anything about any othe LD's, or perhaps Beta tapes (professional, not recorded), or were there VHS releases of the original episodes anywhere or at anytime?
Thanks in advance for any input of your knowledge.
