Yep, dito that.
Lots of nerds here with a low level of PSB fandom. Can't the moderator direct them to some other forum to discuss DVDbluerayHDAISDPALNTSC bla bla bla?

Which definable characteristic will win the thread - a technical mind boring most to submission; a stroppiness and subsequent flounce from those questioned as to the levels of their PSB fandom or...something else entirely? Stay tuned. And it's LIVE!

You have been trying to demonstrate such reasons but so far they do not hold water as far as I can see.
Yes, for the same reason that an astrophysicist's patient explanation of the math required to get to the moon doesn't hold water in the eyes of an elementary school arithmetic student. Your shortcomings in this area are not justification for your errant opinions - the wonderful thing about facts is that they remain true irrespective of ignorance.

I've snipped the rest of your post because quite frankly you're just embarrassing yourself further. It's okay to say "I didn't know that, I just want to watch Discovery in the best possible quality."

I've been suspecting for a long time that there are a too many non-fans on this forum. And this thread derailing has just proved my point. Too many NERDS!
That thread about Neil&Chris being a couple or not also showed how a lot of forum members really aren't PSB fans or just don't understand what the difference between a real fan and somebody suffering from retarded adulation. Or maybe they are NERDS too!

Well thank Lord we have such a "true" ""fan"" to show us the way. What are you, ten? Also, how dare you use the word "retarded" in such a disrespectful way? Mentally handicapped people are contributing far more to the world than some other quote-unquote people.
OT, I don't care if it's a DVD only. I doubt most of us will be playing it more than once or twice, so why obsess? Of course, there's the philosophical question on how to preserve these things, but if the quality genuinely isn't there, no amount of upscaling will create what's not there... Maybe one day, when computers are able to simulate it all anyway....

The advert/trailer they've teased on the Facebook page shows private ("Home Movie") footage. Any indication that this will form part of an Extra on the DVD?
It would be a little unusual/teasing if they just uploaded 56 seconds of footage for an ad that won't then be featured on the release.

I haven't seen the trailer, but there is home movie footage at the beginning of the original VHS. I'm assuming it's the same clips. Would be great if the new release had more of the home movie clips as extras but I won't hold my breath..

It’s the footage of the original VHS, nothing new.

Yes indeed, the VHS started with that too, just the intro for the concert film.
