Seems it would make more sense to make the video 16:9 and have the Joe Bob parts stretched a little since that part has less screen time and doesn't look as weird and the 16:9 squeezed to 4:3.

Hi,

That's just the way that Crywolf decided to edit his videos. I think that he was trying to keep the old TV\VHS 4:3 ratio for everything.

On my edits, I am using resolutions up to 1080p (when available).

Just so you guys know, I'm currently working on December's edits and hope to have those up by next week. I'll then tackle January and should be back on track for a normal release-time for February. I also have the 2nd Blu-ray that I'll be working on in-between.

Here's one example:

Just curious how close we're getting to "all of them".  If there's a site that's known to be accurate, I'd be interested in spending some time figuring that out.

I know there's differing quality on the older pre-Darcy project episodes that Crywolf gave us all, and I think there's a couple episodes found on other Suprbay threads that are VHS transfers (no other source), but something is better than nothing.

When you consider the Drive-In Theater run on The Movie Channel it was around from the 80s through mid 90's with tons of movies as well. I'd say we are a pretty good ways from "complete" still.
