Whats Wrong with Buffys HD? SunnydaleArchives 2015-03-05 | NEW UPDATED video here: youtube.com/watch?v=oZWNGq70Oyo&t=Note that Fox saw our video back in 2015, corrected some of the examples from seasons 1 & 2 and fixed nothing else. So only SECONDS of footage were corrected out of 144 episodes! as if it would make any difference. Outside a small number of shots in the early episodes, the remaster currently streaming everywhere is just as terrible as it was when this video was made.MARCH 2021 UPDATE: This remaster is currently on Amazon Prime, Disney+ Star and several other streaming services.

Buffy HD Remaster - Fixing attempt SunnydaleArchives 2020-01-21 | The current Buffy remaster is beyond fixing. But I did try to see what was possible. Color-correcting the scenes properly is pretty simple, but we can't undo the awful DNR. All I could do was add some fake film grain to give back some texture and minimize the smooth watercolor effect of the remaster. But I probably don't have the best software to do that. Fixing the entire remaster would take a lot of time (that I don't have), but it would look a lot more acceptable. Nothing could replace a proper transfer from Fox/Disney though.
