I am getting very-good at this now! I have done several episodes of Roswell now, which I also uploaded onto the interweb, so look around if you are interested in acquiring them.

They are only 350MB each episode too, to keep the quality relatively good and so that the file size is not too-big. It is the usual size for AVI episodes that are 40-45 minutes long.

thanks for the infor Shiri, will check it out. interweb is that like utube? just checking not sure about it. thanks again.

It is something that you are using right now, the Internet/Web. I mixed the two words as Dave Letterman/George Dubbya Boosh say it: Interweb. :P ie: The episodes are on torrent sites in the net. (Type in 'Roswell Original Version' or something on the main torrent sites, eventually you will find them...)

I did mention that the main reason why I have been trying to do these old VHS tapes for ages is because I long for the old Roswell...I have the old Roswell on VHS tapes that I recorded from TV and I own the DVDs that were released (can not watch past episode 3 of season 1....it is too-badly edited/ruined!!!) I have wanted to covert these onto DVD for years for myself. Then I figured that other fans out there in the world would also appreciate being able to see these episodes too. It is history that is being erased technically, when you think about it! Loads of people who bought the Roswell DVDs did not watch the original Roswell when it first aired on tv...so they mostly do not know what they are missing (good for them, in a way, but bad for them for WE know what they are missing out on!) Although, some of these new fans who have only seen the DVD version of the episodes have heard rumours of the original episodes being different - now is their chance to see what the fuss was all about. hehe

There are a LOT of DVDs out now of tv shows that are from the 80s and 90s that they have also changed the music from, such as: Miami Vice, Beverly Hills 90210, Dawson's Creek, Married...With Children, Quantum Leap...etc There are sites on the net what have lists of affected shows...sadly, Roswell was not the first, nor will it be the last to suffer from this insanity!

We thank you for all your time because unless you get to see the original Roswell, then like you say you dont know what your missing but I seen it when it aired and that is what I miss most all. I too have them on VHS and want to put them on DVD, just a matter of money right now but thanks to you i can search for it on torrent.

Don't rely on my copies, do try to convert yours as well.

(So long as your VHS copies have Dolby Stereo Audio, that is. If yours are Mono then that'd be baaaad...

)It is so cool seeing how much better it is afterwards, very-rewarding to see its non-grainy video quality.

Oh how I long for the original Roswell episodes that I do have on VHS. I'm peeved because I no longer have a VHS player. I might purchase one. They're dead cheap anyway...

Shiri's beau · 10-18-2007, 06:20 AM

You could just download the original ones I have started to put on the internet. (I really am mainly doing these for myself, as you'd see by looking at my posts going back a few months on this thread), but there must be other kindred Roswell fans who would appreciate the original Roswell episodes too, so here they are.

Was it you that I saw drop by the Aussie Community thread at FF?

Katherine · 10-19-2007, 11:39 PM

Possible. I used to post at FF all the time. It was my first forum...

My friend has the episodes on dvd...I really should do something about it and burn it off her...

Shiri's beau · 11-26-2007, 06:21 AM

You had any luck finding the episodes? I am over half-way through making the season one episodes now...

destiny2002 · 11-26-2007, 09:36 PM

Hi Shiri's beau, my hubby bought me a dvd copier so i can now copy my original on dvd. I have a lot of reading to do lol looks very hard but i think i cant get it copied, may make a few bad ones but thats half the fun. will let you know when i get it started.

Katherine · 11-27-2007, 04:12 AM

I stole my friends Season 1 dvds...which are the original...

I also don't have a home computer...just my laptop so d/ling anything is out of the question atm...

sethsangel123 · 11-27-2007, 04:55 AM

the other day i decided to pull out my roswell dvd's and watch a few episodes, season 2 it was! i forgot how much i missed it! i love them! it was nice to pull them out and kick back and watch them!

Katherine · 11-27-2007, 05:20 AM
