Apparently season 1 is available on BD now. 1080p streamed version has been around for some time, this is upscaled and widescreen. The BD version appears to be the same deal but I'm guessing it has higher video bitrate. I've seen people claim the BD audio is kinda "flat", if it is then I guess some people may feel compelled to rip the video and use audio from another source (DVD I guess, I think only the pilot movie is on LD) to make something "better" but it bugs me that this is widescreen yet again Anyway, if you wanna take a peek (for preview purposes before purchase I mean) scene release name for S01 is: Stargate.SG-1.S01.1080p.BluRay.x264-BORDURE ^ Just over 45GB total size.

Honestly thought this would never happen. I'm not finding individual seasons, only this: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Stargate ... ay/282609/I love Stargate, but I will wait for a price drop since I already have the dvds. ETA: I see it's from VEI which is interesting. I've not been the happiest with their releases, I might actually skip this altogether. When I have the time and stamina I will read over the thread for the release on the bd forum.

deadlegion wrote: Well the DVD sets upscaled are pretty close to the 1080p web versions I have seen. I mean the web versions mostly look better, but I was just upscaling using a PS3. But the thing is the DVD sets I have are broadcast ratio not all widescreen (cropped) like the web versions.
So yeah I prefer the DVD's, so far anyway. But I'm just thinking if these BD's look even better than web 1080p (because higher video bitrate) then maybe people will buy them. Atlantis BD sets are getting a cheaper "reissue" (not remastered). SG-1 BD's aren't remastered and people are speculating it's the exact same deal as web 1080p... so idk.
I haven't seen any mention of Universe S2 BD, which I thought they would do as well if they're doing SG-1 this way. Oh boy! I shouldn't be posting when I'm dead tired, obviously my brain has turn to mush here Broadcast was originally full screen 4:3 but the series was made in widescreen. The PAL DVD R4 sets I have are widescreen. I do have some other odd discs (incomplete set) here that aren't R4 but I can't remember if they're broadcast ratio (maybe they are and that contributed to my brain fart). I think there might be at least 2 different web versions, maybe the Hulu version is messed up ratio or whatever. Pilot episode has had a few edits over time but I suspect the final edit is considered canon now As for Universe, I looked that up just before and VEI are releasing the complete series on BD. I already have S1 on BD though (I got it cheap) so I'm not keen to shell out $40usd or whatever just to get a physical 1080p version of S2

Was doing some more reading about VEI release having messed up 5.1 audio (maybe S1 is ok though) and also the DNR etc used with upscaling (loss of detail). Came across this, there are some interesting screenshots... https://pacificaoutpost.com/stargate-sg-1/Hopefully I'm not violating any rules by posting this link

substance wrote: I am reading on other forums that these BD masters are awful. Both video and audio are superior on the DVD copies. I will need to get the SGU box set because SGU s2 was never released on BD before. I am also curious about the last 3 seasons of SG1 on this BD boxset as they were shot in HD digital. But it looks like you might need to mix and match in order to have the best set. There is also 1 LD out there with the pilot episode. I have watched bits of S1 episodes now. They aren't great. The 5.1 audio on most of these S1 episodes seemed sorta ok but one episode the intro audio seemed a little messed up. What I saw was ripped though so maybe that one episode was incorrectly ripped, idk. Video has artifacts which is to be expected. Again maybe because these were ripped it has made those worse, idk. Honestly I would say this is a waste of time, even S1. Unless the SGU box set is like $30aud it's going to be a waste of money. I already have S1 BD and S2 1080p streamed has been around for years. Still, would be interesting to see if the audio/video is higher bitrate and slightly better quality.

Watched some bits of S2. Running audio just through tv speakers and it isn't distracting really. Tok'ra part 2, towards the end I noticed some shots where it appears that Carter's head is stretched slightly fatter but I'm not 100% sure. Effects shots are looking terrible in some places, like ships in hyperspace the whole thing looks really blurry
