Babylon-5 hi-def (or higher-def) petition

[Neil Rieck]

I have just started a high-def blu-ray (higher-def DVD) petition here:

http://www.petitiononline.com/B5HiDef/petition.html

We may not see a major effort to recreate space scenes as is happening
with Star Trek, but we may see "480p on DVD with more discs" or "1080i
on Blu-Ray" if Warner Bros can be encouraged to do another digital
transfer.

They made a piss poor job of the CGI transfer last time, so I don't hold
up much hope for an HD transfer.

The filmed sequences could be re-scanned, but if the DVD transfers are
anything to go by, some of the prints were in poor condition.

It would be an improvement if they only brought out a DVD set in 480p

I have no idea what is going on here, but Amazon.com seems to be
soliciting interest in a Blu-ray release of Babylon 5

http://www.amazon.com/Babylon-5-Blu-ray-Richard-Biggs/dp/B001CUFI7M/

If you are interested, then I invite you all to sign up for an email
alert on this. You would not be committing to buy it.
