Hey trs,
I bought a set at his cheap price a few weeks ago and am extremely happy. The transfer is the best I have ever gotten from a TV show. Really top quality.
I have a PS2 and have no problem playing them whatsoever.

Thanks for a great product.
Bill

Hmmm...

Do you have another email account somewhere you could email me from? I just sent out a bunch of replies to people, and some have already replied back so I know my messages are going out OK.

If you don't have another email, do you have IM/ICQ or anything like that?

I too am wondering if there's an AOL problem. I've sent two emails from weltanscha@aol.com and haven't heard back.

In any case, TRS, if you can get back to me, please do. I've created another account, shinyff@yahoo.com, in case AOL won't work.

Thanks,

Tom

I have purchased and received a set of DVDs from TRS80, and they arrived in good shape. The video is near broadcast quality, and they appear to be readable on all players that can view DVD-R.

Thumbs up.

I think that there is a problem with AOL. I also tried to e-mail TRS through my AOL account, he said he responded but I didn't get it. Then I used my Yahoo! mail. I got a response so quick its almost scary.

Just received DVD set from TRS80. Lance, you, sir, are a steely-eyed missile man!

Menus are well constructed, with a nice close-up of our lady S, and the end theme playing over them. Chapter breaks within the eps. Vid quality is pretty much broadcast quality. Audio is just a hair tinny at some points, but generally excellent. I don't have my surround set-up yet, but the stereo separation was groovy, and "virtual surround" processing on my player *did* have me checking my 4 and 8 o'clock from time to time (esp. during the battle of Serenity Valley). So I suspect that he pulled off the Dolby encoding like a pro (as others with better equipment have already said)!

I've only had time to watch sections of the Pilot, but early indications are that Lance has done a truly shiny job!!

Add to this the fact that shipping was blazing-fast, e-mail contact was exemplary and downright personable, and he's doing this for not a hair of profit (apart from inadvertent variations in shipping costs [a small amount, which he himself reported on this board]), and I can enthusiastically and unreservedly recommend doing biz with this fellow! This will handily tide me over till the official DVD(s) come(s) out.

Thanks, Lance!!!

Hi again Spencer,

Let's all blame AOL !

Let's try the AIM thing...but my ID isn't the obvious choice. I'm "s0beknight" (that's a zero). I'm on most of the time.

If you can't get hold of me that way post here and we'll figure something else out

Hey PBGaines and Noocyte,

Thanks for the nice comments!

I'm glad you like them!!

'cyte...you don't know how accurate you are about the missile man comment. As a matter of fact you saw my handwork on CNN during the first Gulf War. Remember all the footage of the Patriot (Scud Buster) missiles? Guess who was one of the ones responsible for the computer systems that made all that happen!

Sure was fun spending taxpayer money @ $700K per shot! w00t!

Lance, I just want to say you have made me very happy by producing these DVD's and making them so easy to obtain. The quality is the best I have seen. I have DL'd all of them and none are anywhere near these. If anyone is on the fence about paying for these get off, as I am impressed. Thankyou Lance you are a good man.

No go-seh! Now **that's** what I'd call shooting skeet! Glad you've found some (truly groovy) peace-time applications for your wares...and that we have need for little besides, in the coming days.

Didn't Chris Rock do a whole bit about how violent crime would all-but disappear if bullets were comparably expensive?

Anyhoo, thanx again. And, for the rest of you, as PBGaines said, y'all get off that fence!

trs80,

Thank you very much for the excellent dvds! I've missed the show so much on Friday nights. It's great to be able to watch them at will now. Even hearing the main theme again healed the sadness in my heart.

I thought the design quality (packaging, menus...) were great. I'm suggesting the set to friends who miss the series.

Recommended.

Thanks!

Hey,

I got my DVDs on Saturday - great quality and great to watch. I haven't seen anything other then the Train Job before now so I'm enjoying them immensely.

What I want to know is, will there be a DVD with the 3 remaining episodes on, whenever they air?

Assuming I can get the episodes in SVCD format or better...yes I will produce another disc with the (thus far) unaired shows.

Of course, that's also assuming my DVD burner doesn't have a meltdown between now and then.

TRS - those DVDS are INSANELY wonderful. I received them Saturday morning (folks, that's West Coast US to Scotland in FIVE days!).
Thank you so much.

By the way, they play perfectly in my iBook DVD player (European model), although my proper player had trouble - but it is old, so I am not too bothered, upgrading soon.

Again, thank you muchly!

Just a minor update for anyone it applies to.

These DVD's *DO* work in PS2's(at least mine), but not reliably. Just pop it in a few times and wait till it tells you it doesnt' work or it starts working. Seems to work maybe 1/5-10 times(after it starts, it won't have any issues till you take it out)

Great DVD's again :)

Sunday, February 9, 2003 3:41 PM

Thanks Tabitha! 5 days is really fast!!

I'm currently working with a couple people who are having problems with the discs on their players (couple set tops and 1 computer).

So far, in all cases a replacement set of (different brand) media fixes the problem. I am using a couple different brands and burning using 2 different burners so it's not surprising. The majority of the sets are being burned to Ritek 4X brand DVD-Rs so it's not like I'm using crappy media!

When a replacement set is needed, I'm sending either TDK 2X, or Imation 1X, or Memorex 1X media. TDK seems to solve it for most.

I hope everyone that I'm working with is satisfied with my responsiveness to their issues. I've only given 1 refund thus far, and replacement sets are sent out free.

The trend seems to be:

Players older than 2 1/2 or 3 years (set top and computer) will most likely have a problem no matter what media I send.

Toshiba players of any age seem to be the most fussy. TDK seems to work best with them.

PS2s are hit and miss as SlowSmurf points out.

Apex models lower than 1600 (1500, 1200, etc), don't seem to work no matter what I send. This is surprising to me because Apex are supposed to be the "swiss army knife" of players.

That's it for now. I still have a few color sets, and some plain sets available (more plain than color).

Wow,got home tonight to find the DVDs had arrived!
Opened the package,nice packing job by the way,to find 3 VERY nicely done DVD cartons. The artwork on the cartons and on the Disc's is 1st rate, really impressive.The full color set is really worth the few extra bucks, trust me. I popped in "The Train Job" and viewed it on a 60" Mitsubishi TV, The picture quality is great, the sound is great! The Disc's even have interactive menu's and you have all the slow motion functions, you can also scan thru the chapters at will. All in all, everything a FireFly fan could hope for. Lance, you did a wonderful job with this set. I wanted to post this here because AOL does not seem to let your emails post thru to me. Also thanks again for the quick service, just 6 day from the time I dropped the check in the mail.
Best Regards, Spencer

Mine arrived yesterday and I immediately popped mine in the DVD player... the player is the Sony 300 which is like a juke box in that it holds 300 DVD/CD's. Picked on The Train Job and it started right up and looked beautiful. I was immensly impressed. My only problem was I didn't have time to watch the whole thing! I ran out of time and have to wait until Wednesday to start watching the rest.

Thanks for doing this I am really enjoying these DVD's.

Part message, part bump.

These disks are shiny in the extreme, and should be standard fare for disgruntled fans (which is, basically, all of us!!) everywhere. They are of high quality, TRS80 is a joy to deal with, and they are cheap enough (he's not making a profit) that multiple sets would make for good loaners to spread the Word.

Keep flyin'!

Got the DVDs about a week ago, and have been doing a thorough op check. (Watching each episode in turn) Its great. The video quality is fine, and considering these were recorded off broadcast, impressive. trs80 did a great job, and well worth the money.

In case Joss, Tim or any of the folks from ME are reading this, I swear by Mal's pretty floral bonnet, I will buy the offical DVDs when they come out. Please hurry with them. :)
