Knightmare on VHS
-
For those of you who don't have a DVD player and who are interested, if you have an Aldi store near you then they have got 38 pounds (can't type pound sign from my keyboard) DVD players coming into their stores on 13th November. Does anyone know where you can get Knew ones any cheaper than that price?
-
I'm in a lose-lose situation...
-
Buy a DVD Player fro Aldi. Brilliant. Can watch films and programmes etc. on DVD at Uni, but can't play Knightmare coledction, which is on VHS.
-
Buy a cheap Video player. Able to watch some films and programmes (but without the nice extras) at uni, but won't be able to purchase the legendary Knightmare DVD (if it comes).
-
Buy a DVD and a Video player. Room becomes totally cluttered with gadgets, I become broke, I get evicted from Uni and my life is in ruins.
A lose-lose-lose situation, then.

Well the rate that things are going on the dvd/vhs front and as long as it might even take to produce a dvd/vhs, you probably have enough time to save up enough money for one or both types of players, a dvd or video, and you might even have graduated from uni and even be working by the time a dvd/vhs is released .

Great! I'll get it with my next-generation-Amiga computer, then sit at home and watch it while waiting for the new series of Gamesmaster, hosted (in a unique twist) by Patrick Moore, with Hugo Myatt as the Games Master. The new series of Knightmare would also be announced as starting in the year 2050.

Hi there- I'm glad a topic has arisen about Knightmare on VHS- I did discuss it about four months ago, but have been unable to log on. VHS is the simply the best! After all, when Hugo Myatt was Treguard, he would not have had a clue what DVD was- it is the true Knighmare era format! It is cheaper than DVD, and tape quality is usually fine, if tapes are looked after. I think the petition is a great idea, but it is exluding people without video disc players- I am not saying that we should get silly and demand Betamax aswell- but at the end of the day DVD is not universal... and who knows, maybe it will go the same way as Video2000. Good luck with the petition! And can we tape videos for each other, if people have double VCR decks- maybe, it is illegal- I don't know?

Some of us had a big debate about that sort of thing last night on the following thread

I'm sure there was a massive piracy debate months and months ago, when i first joined the forum.
There was also a big debate about VHS vs DVD, with Keiran backing VHS very strongly.
I believe the idea of focussing on a DVD release was because DVD's are a lot cheaper to manufacture in small quantities.
-
well either would be great, I would prefer a DVD but a VHS would do nicely providing it had Knightmare on it! People get too carried away with special features on DVDs when in fact I have only seen 2 or 3 with good special features (LOTR Trilogy, Pirates of the carribean and Red Dwarf DVDs)

Well, I think in fairness the reason many of us backed DVD and not VHS at this specific point in time was because it was Granada themseves who said it was only the advent of DVD that made a commercial release viable at all. However, Tim Child pointed out they still weren't sure of the market, so we decided to pursue the DVD case on its own to give some evidence there was a market for that- hence the DVD petition. Including VHS in that petition would, as I have said before, made that evidence of a possible market more confused.
As I've also said before, there's absolutely nothing stopping anyone taking up the VHS cause just like others of us did with DVD. I personally think you'll have a harder time convincing Granada of the viability of that, given their comments, but anyone can try and thus prove me wrong.

Well, if I had a few million pounds in my pocket, I'd probably include things like this:
-
'Making Of' documentary, including interviews with cast/crew and so on
-
Dolby Digital 5.1 mix of original soundtrack
-
Original CITV/Sci-Fi/Challenge links & trailers
-
Behind the scenes footage
-
Both pilots
-
Photo gallery
-
VT Clocks (Maybe as an easter egg)
