Since remastered versions of DS9 and VOY aren’t happening any time soon, I think the next best thing should be a SD-BD release, kinda like how Discotek Media are doing with some old anime titles

The advantages :

  • Better video quality, since higher bitrate
  • Better audio quality compared to DVDs
  • More episodes per disc

What would you think about such a release?

    Yeah, DVD can handle better than what’s on the existing discs. If better quality were viable and noticeable with the copies they’re working with it probably would have been in the previous releases.

    The ‘more episodes per disc’ thing is definitely true, though. A dual layer BD is 50GB. A dual layer DVD is 8.5GB. If the existing DS9 release fits a season and special features on seven DVDs, then if the discs are dual layer and completely full we’re looking at two dual layer BDs for that entire season. Potentially one BD, depending on how much free space is on the existing DVDs.
