Don't ask questions about things like this as it is futile and they will almost certainly go unanswered.
We will be told when a definitive answer in ascertained.

They won't leave ep 1 in b and w it would be so odd being the only pertwee ep in b and w I am sure they will find a way. Like west wing is a good colourisation company. Again. Invasion of the Dinosaurs 1. It was going to be released solely in B/W as the Colour Recovery was deemed to be too poor until it was only by chance given another look at. Even with a lot of touching up, it is by no means up to broadcast standard and was released with the B/W version as the main version. In terms of colour information, Mind of Evil 1 is infinitely worse off.

i wonder how they are restoring ep 1 to colour? No-one ever said that it would be restored to colour. Judging by what happened with Invasion of the Dinosaurs 1, it will be in B/W. A lot of people assume things on here, and I have no idea why.

Anyone care to elaborate on this? The first I've ever heard of this!
What's the story with Evil 5? Why is it missing all these scenes?

Yes, I personally reckon that (good though the results were at the time) Inferno could be revisited in future to provide a sharper picture by combining the Vidfired b/w t/rs with the colour from the 525 masters. The t/rs were made from the 625 VT, after all, and so the actual image on them should be sharper than that on the soft RSC'd 525 version. We'll see eventually, I suppose... Someone will correct me if I'm wrong no doubt, but I believe the problem with using the B&W TRs as a base to start with is that the picture is zoomed in loosing information around the edges, whereas the NTSC tapes retain that information (albeit on the slightly fuzzy side). Actually, in many cases the RSC tapes are actually more zoomed in than a TR! In fact, I think it has been mentioned that this was the case with Inferno?

This is true... but we all know this. Don't understand the point of this thread.

I think your understanding of what VidFire actually is is wrong.
Technology marches on a pace and will do so more quickly and rapidly as time goes on. As this happens, it generally gets quicker and cheaper. I expect that one day in the years ahead the releases will be looked at again, especially when digital downloads and streaming supersede physical consumer formats all together - requiring a re-release as such.
Original film negatives for programmes held on NTSC tapes such as Inferno are being retained in archives rather than being junked because they hold the potential of providing a higher quality picture should a re-release call for it.

Didn't Babelcolour actually work with someone from the RT to colour that DMP extract for that appeared on the Revelation of the Daleks DVD?
Surely it isn't impossible then?

I can't help but notice how the DW forum has been going round in circles recently.

Does anyone know when the BBC finally disposed of the TR equipment?

I started a thread on the topic of late telerecordings, so check my past posts. I guess that is the one being talked about?
Blue Peter was telerecorded as late as 1985, which is fascinating.
Surely there would be a date when the last machines were removed/decommissioned?

You can clearly see the CGI.

Just wondering...how is it that certain old films (particularly Disney) are able to re-release stuff on Blu-Ray? As Blu-Ray is HD, surely, in order to be released in this format, the original film had to be recorded in HD (?) Your whole concept on this topic is flawed. I'm sure someone else can explain this better than I could.

It's another spoof. It's the bloke's first post... another waste of time. I'll put a fiver on it. You have absolutely no evidence to suggest that this is a hoax or not. Don't jump at someone, because it may be genuine. You don't want to unnecessarily alienate someone.

Which episode is it from could it be Episode 1 Let's hope those looking in foreign archives for missing material are paying more attention than you did!
