    Haha, yeah I didn’t think it through properly. There are a lot of 90s TV series that got filmed on magnetic tape in 480. Guess you can’t re-master Ally McBeal and redo the CGI / spaceship scenes in full HD. They could do it for Captain Kirk but the era after that is just SD television with stereo(?) sound and that’s it, you’re right. Sometimes people re-encode old stuff with more modern codecs and I’ve deleted old, blocky and very compressed DivX versions I had on my old computer.
