[QUOTE="Matthew Blaisdel, post: 344326, member: 26"] Oh boy ... sorry for interrupting this celebration. I'm quite dissappointed they chose the way of AI upscale for season 10. I mean, it's almost no effort there. There are 2 year old clips on youtube where fans of Star Trek Voyager used the Topaz AI upscale video filter for some scenes of the old DVD release and the result is of similar HD quality. But that's far away from what a scan of the original film elements could offer, let alone the loss of film grain and so much detail information in the picture. As nice as it looks at first sight - in the end it is (and remains) just an upscale of again the old existing betacam stuff with a little color correction and new titles inserted. And I guess this is what we can expect with the later seasons of the other shows like Knots Landing and Falcon Crest as well, really a shame. :confused: What they have done here, everyone can do by himself nowadays already at home with the old DVDs, the Topaz AI video upscaler, a fast PC and some waiting time, you don't need Warners to do that for you and you definitely don't need to buy a new box set for that. Was that just an exception, or will they go this cheap route with all the remaining seasons? By the way, the new font is exactly the same that was used for the last two remastered Dynasty seasons, so i guess they just went with some kind of standard font instead of looking for a font that would match the original. This whole remastering project started out so well ... and now went downhill exactly at the point that would have gained the most, which is quite ridiculous imo. What a letdown. [/QUOTE]
