Here is the full official issue from Bill The big news is that Space Productions has completed the remastering of all episodes! They did this "on their on nickle" without help from FOX using the same . "Transfer of original 35mm film elements to HDCamSR was performed by Illuminate in Burbank, CA. Digital audio restoration from original magnetic sound elements performed by Sound Services, inc., Los Angeles, CA." Now they need fans to help convince FOX that there is enough interest to warrant a release. Kevin passed along this HD restoration test link: youtu.be/0b61MAqktMc (Be sure to set to Full Screen and 1080P when viewing it for full effect!) Please leave your comments on the youtube page. They are looking for input on: Aspect ratio DVD vs Blue Ray Bonus features (cast commentary, Lost in Space Forever, etc.) Anything else you can think of. I have one comment on Aspect Ratio. My first thought was that I would like the original 4:3 ratio because I did not want to loose a bit "off the top and bottom". BUT consider this. The new scans of the the original negative actually are larger in frame than what was seen on TV. So when the format is changed to wide screen (16:9) we do loose a bit off the original top and bottom (but not as much as you would expect) and we actually GAIN some new image on the sides that was not seen on TV (or the DVD set). Additionally, the final resolution of the image in 16:9 is a bit better than 4:3 and this might allow for seeing even more details on items in frame. PLEASE pass this on to everyone that might be interested in seeing a remastered release of LIS!!
