The price is AUD55.50. This include VAT removal. Delivery is… GBP 3.58 (AUD5.65). Total, if you do not buy anything else is: AUD61.15 + your cards currency conversion fees (which may be 0%, 2.5% or 3% generally).

This series is NOT from a HD source. Apparently it's from a 576i video which was the best they could find and has been upscaled on professional equipment (at least according to a review). Audio is DTS-MA.

Also, The Peacekeeper Wars miniseries is not included.

    I miss this series, but luckily I've got it on DVD. Ahhh, if only there was more work for puppeteers after this finished, then I could actually make a tidy sum from my skills :/

    What's the point in a blu-ray release when it's just a standard definition upscaled to HD. They would have got the same effect with a DVD used on an upscaling DVD or blu-ray player.

    • the discombobulated… on 05/10/2012 - 15:57

      Depends on if it's purely algorithmic (and the same quality of algorithms - they can run it through stuff that has access to more resources than what's in your dvd player) or if they do manual work as well.

      It could, as you imply, also be all bollocks.

      • hollykryten on 05/10/2012 - 16:19

        The source it was produced from is still standard definition. Not as if they can make that real HD. It would be like watching a standard definition tv show on a HD tv channel. It's just a false HD and all you're watching is an upscaled SD.

        • the discombobulated… on 05/10/2012 - 16:30

          You wont get more detail but what's there may look better.

          Upscaled SD broadcast sucks. It's done on the cheap. It has to do the upscaling between each frame so it's not going to spend time on niceties.

          In making this they would've had access to hardware and software that could take it's time getting things looking spiffy. ie. slower than real-time processing of the frames.

          It should also be noted that at least season 1 on dvd was rendered with sub-par bitrates. There are places where it is visibly horrible.
