I've captured the 2 different show intros where Mal and Book each respectively give a show synopsys before some of the episodes, and burned them out to DVD if anyone is interested. These aren't included in the DVD boxset (which I think should have been!).

I've got them in XVID AVI format if anyone wants me to send them to them, let me know. I can email them, provided your email provider allows large files, or I can send you a gmail account that will alloy it if needed.

If you play close attention, there are two different Mal intros, and the one by Book.

MAL "You only gotta scare him."
JAYNE "Pain is scary..."

I wouldn't mind seeing/hearing those again and missed the sci-fi marathon. I imagine gmail lets big files through since they are all about their capacity? My tag there is the same as the one here, just add on the @gmail.com stuff.

Much thanks.

I sent to you ZEPRAN at your gmail account. Let me know if you get them.

I'll have to check into that 2 different Mal intros thing, and see if I can tell the difference.

I sent them to both maria.stahl and joewhite89

Let me know if you get them..

As a reminder, you will need XVID codecs installed on your computer to view them. If you don't know what XVID is, do a google search for XVID codec, and you'll find some sites that offer free downloads.

Duh, I thought they were just audio files.

Thanks, I downloaded the codec addon and they run beautifully. I especially like Book's.

I'm glad everyone is enjoying them, and hopefully no one is having any problems with viewing them so far. I'll post on this thread if I ever find and capture the other version of the Mal into.

Longer version
Here's how it is. The Earth got used up. So we moved out and terraformed a whole new galaxy of earths. Some rich and flush with the new technologies, some not so much. The central planets, them's formed the Alliance. Waged war to bring everyone under their rule. A few idiots tried to fight it, among them, myself. I'm Malcolm Reynolds, captain of Serenity. She's a transport ship. Firefly class. Got a good crew. Fighters, a pilot, mechanic. We even picked up a preacher for some reason and a bonafide Companion. There's a doctor, too. Took his sister out of some Alliance camp so they're keeping a low profile. You understand. You got a job, we can do it. Don't much care what it is.

There's only about a 10 second difference between the two. And as you can see, the shorter version is just cut down from the longer version.

Ok, I just checked the one I ripped, and it's the longer version, so I think I'm happy. Like you said, the shorter version just has a couple lines cut out of it. Thanks for the heads up!

No problem. I sent it to both of you. Gmail kept erroring out, so hopefully you'll get them. It says my messages were sent, so let me know if there's a problem.

MOOSE

If you look at the dates of this thread, you'll see it is rather old and it doesn't look like jayhawk35 has been here for awhile.

I'll check my old files to see if I still have them.
No promises, though.

IIRC, all the streaming versions (Netflix, Hulu, etc) have the intros.

Eta: dang it, looks like they were on my old, long gone PC.
Sorry.
