Garrett Wang's amazing 'acting'... in HD? I don't think the world is quite ready for that yet.
It took me one week to download all TNG, ENT, VOY, DS9, TOS and Animated.
About 60 disks,
took me almost 2 weeks, then a month later my hardrive blew up and lost them all.
I think TNG badly needed the upgrade, it was so dated looking.
I think voyager will get the same treatment but not for a while yet and voyager has held up well in comparison.
DS9 certainly needs the work first, as while its not as bad looking as the old TNG colorwise it does appear very dark and an overhaul would do wonders
why would they need to redo the CGI? did they need to do that for TNG as well?They'd have to redo all the CG, which would be expensive. But, if Next Gen HD makes enough money, I'm sure they'll want more HD Trek to make money off of.
Although, Enterprise was shot in HD (with CG and makeup quality to match), and all it needs is a release on Bluray. Which they haven't done...
They'd need to redo the CGI because it was rendered for SD resolutions, which are much lower than HD resolutions. The TNG-R team has to redo some CG elements, but most of the show was done with practical effects and models, whereas Voyager was done primarily with CG effects. This means they'd have to redo a vast majority of VOY's visual effects for any remastering project, which means it would take longer and cost a lot more than TNG-R.why would they need to redo the CGI? did they need to do that for TNG as well?They'd have to redo all the CG, which would be expensive.

hey guys, i just saw a trailer for TNG on 1080p Blu-Ray and it looks amazing.
does anyone know if Voyager will make it to HD of some kind? i've heard the Voyager CGI looks really terrible when it's given the HD treatment. is this true?
By the time Voyager is ready, they'll probably have thunk up a new format far superior to Blu Ray, and they'll have start very all over again with TNG.
I remember how grateful I was when in 2003 a friend gave me the last of their blank VHS tapes because I was the only person they knew who still used that antiquated tech.
My feelings exactly. I think the closest we'll get is "enhanced upscaled" best-of collection.Voyager will probably get a cheap and nasty conversion to Bluray as an afterthought when the other shows have all been done.
It'll be OK but not worth redoing the CGI - it's the least popular of the shows shot in standard def.
They MIGHT skip DS9 and go straight to VGR as it was more popular
...assuming Blu-Ray does not itself get modified to support it, a new format will have a very hard sell on it's hands.
As it is Blu Ray remains quite small as formats go. Given the sheer cost to Sony of winning their format war they are probably pretty disappointed.
