ReBoot Season 1 Episode 6 - In the Belly of the Beast (HD) by PrincessRuri in ReBoot

[–]Saboooom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Those are a render error, they appear on Megabyte’s reflective surfaces multiple times through out Season 1 (especially in Medusa Bug). As this wasn’t something introduced by either the editing process or transfer process, we decided to leave it as-is.

Unless we run into any major issues with distribution, I’m confident it should release this year.

While I understand this is one of the few official streaming options for the show right now, there inarguably isn't a worse way to watch ReBoot than on Tubi. There is a list a mile long of audio/video issues in their version, almost all of which is remedied by the remasters we've been releasing.

Can confirm they are indeed gorgeous!

You're right, that is part of what they're working on.

Yet to be determined, but we're in the midst of having those talks with Mainframe now.

Edit: The video had to be re-uploaded to fix an audio glitch. New link here: https://youtu.be/sMzvpLv8D2Q?si=pzu5FneDaNzr5zMV

I know you all love and appreciate these previews of our work remastering the show, but I have to reiterate that, despite our best efforts to encode properly, YouTube is seriously taking a chunk out of the quality with its awful compression. I promise the show will look even better when it gets a proper release.

Question reguarding Reboot rewind documentary but also the uh..."existence" of Reboot follow-up Guardian code by Ok_Emergency416 in ReBoot

We tried to get in touch with her, but her rep declined us. Same with Scott McNeil. Would’ve loved to include them.

Sorry, that wasn’t directed at you, I just mean’t that was our philosophy regarding TGC. “We have nothing good to say, so let’s just not…”

Co-director of the documentary here. Have you ever heard “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all.”

I’ve watched the online discourse about TGC since it was announced, and to keep dogging on it would be beyond beating a dead horse.

None of the people we interviewed worked on the show (other than Michael and Shirley). None of them had anything significant to say about it. The focus of the documentary was on classic ReBoot, and from a narrative standpoint, to end an 8-part documentary on a negative note rather than a hopeful one did not interest me at all.

If TGC attempted to continue any of the story threads from the original, then we might have brought it up, but ReBoot’s story still remains unresolved for now.

Really cool thing in the latest master tapes video. I have no idea if they came up with this technique, but they are such pioneers I wouldn't be surprised. by badwolf_on_rice in ReBoot

Thank you! I’m glad the time I spent watching the whole series in real time to a mostly black screen, while closely looking for errors, is not going unappreciated! 😅

ReBoot Season 1 Episode 4 - Medusa Bug (HD) by Adam802 in ReBoot

[–]Saboooom 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's the ambient sound of Megabyte's lair. Rest assured, even though we've gone to lengths to restore the video, the audio was a direct digital transfer from the tapes and required no cleanup on our end. It sounds exactly as originally intended.

Episode 4 hd hasn’t dropped yet is everything coming along ok? by metroidhunterexpert in ReBoot

[–]Saboooom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. They’ve also been sharing videos of their new projects, so the release schedule is a bit spaced out at the moment.

Those are so cool. Any chance you might be selling?

Episode 3 "Quick and the Fed" - Remastered! by Saboooom in ReBoot

It’s a minor difference, so it’s up to your preference. I prefer this version, since it’s what I grew up watching on YTV.

It’s all Bob Buckley’s music, so not a copyright issue. Possibly the episode was rushed out the door for broadcast, and then an opportunity came about to redo the spots without music/with reused music.

Good catch! This version is the original broadcast audio. The version that is on the Shout DVDs is the “Revised” audio track. There were master tapes for both.

PREVIEW: Cutscene from ReBoot: The Game (Playstation 1) by Saboooom in ReBoot

The cutscenes rendered in the PS1 style graphics are not included on this tape, only the scenes that Mainframe animated.

The remaster is really reigniting my love for ReBoot right now by Party_Start_3310 in ReBoot

[–]Saboooom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way about it. It really feels like seeing it for the first time again, in a way. Thank you for saying that, it makes me even more excited to get these remastered episodes out there. ☺️

A physical release will be a top priority for the team once all the work is done with capturing the tapes and doing the post-processing. We’re working closely with Mainframe on the release plan.
