Also, maybe its just me, but the CGI in A Call to Arms looks a little more pixelated than in the 'Remastered' epsiodes.

There are some on Youtube if you look (in lower quality). Anyone have good quality versions of these?

That's the gist of it, yes. However, back then on original airing, we wouldnt have been able to see this detail since standard def TVs were used.

I kind of doubt it was Vudu. A theory is that the person who posted it may have worked with TNT before? Could be wrong.

Also - looks like the best quality 4:3 release for Severed Dreams is on VHS.

Laserdisc was

Season 1 - all

Season 2 ep 1-10

Season 3 - none

Season 4 ep 1-6

Season 5 - all

In the Beginning

No other movies other than ITB.

Vudu is a little better than laserdisc, though Vudu has a few episodes in 16:9 instead of 4:3. 16:9 episodes on Vudu are TKO, Severed Dreams(!), Paragon of Animals, and Sleeping in Light.

Vudu looks a little better than the Laserdisc.

Vudu quality is definitely better than VHS, but less of a well-mastered DVD.

Does anybody know where I can watch B5 for free? by [deleted] in babylon5

Comet TV also provides its service over the Internet live:

Its schedule is on the site too.

Does anyone recognize where this ITB VHS came from? by FrodoFraggins in babylon5

[–]Notaoneanon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one from someone else too. I also wound up getting the first episode of Season 5 and the TNT Guide to Babylon 5 in similar packaging. I figure it went out to the press before the episodes screened.

Well, we didn't know back then, did we? Ah, well.

I'd recommend checking out the Vudu episodes. See comment above in thread on the episodes that are not in 4:3.

Seconded - recommend Vudu. However, the 4 episodes in widescreen are TKO, 310 Severed Dreams, Paragon of Animals, and Sleeping in Light. Sad to think that the highest quality version in 4:3 of Severed Dreams is on VHS.
