It's perfectly fine in prior seasons which means the original is available. Throughout the credits of all seasons there are otherwise just a handful shots which aren't as good as others but there are a variety of reasons as to why that is the case. It still beats artificial looking stuff where every single dirt speck, scratch and black dot is not only visible but in fact enhanced.What you're forgetting with DSN and STV is that both were filmed several years later than Dallas and therefore had their finished masters kept on Digi Beta rather than Betacam or Beta SP. So the source, despite being SD, is of much higher quality anyway.By the way; this is what TOPAZ does to the Dallas opening straight from a SD DVD copy. Make sure you go to full screen.[MEDIA=youtube]ufucfroS7Ik[/MEDIA]Amazing manga style on the buildings in the opening shot and the oil wellsVictoria's credit for comparison. Top one is remastered in real HD. Bottom is TOPAZ'd.[ATTACH=full]45612[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]45613[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
