Whoops, sorry, yes. I mean the Three Stooges. Thinking a bit too much like Christmas at the time I wrote that.
@Christina, good question. On each of my sheets, I've also given each episode a quality rating of low or high. I have the season 1 DVD's, so the quality there is pretty good. I actually have two versions of season 2. The first is burned to true DVD, but the quality isn't too great because most of them are from the MITMVC when it offered the eps. But when I throw them on my crappy TV, they look fine.
Basically, I was anxious and impatient to get the project done. So I have five discs for that season.
My second version is a BT file I obtained months ago. These are all encoded in DivX and thus far I've lacked the patience to convert them to MPEG and burn them to a DVD because it seems like as soon as I take the time to do that, the real thing will be released.
So I have one data DVD with good quality S2's that were originally recorded of SkyOne. They aren't hi def obviously, but they're digital quality.
Season three is the worst quality because most of them I recorded off the local cable affiliate whose quality is subpar. Again, they look fine on TV but lousy on the computer. Five discs for that too.
Season 4 is a really mixed bag. It consists of three discs. The first five eps on teh first disc are very good quality. On disc 4B, I have like eight eppys (the most on one disc ever) and while teh video quality is good, I must have overwhelmed my program burning that many, because the audio/video synchronization is really bad. Disc three has all the rest of them in some weird file format that I can't even recognize. To play them, I downloaded a mega codec pack.
It's obviously a data disc I also retrieved off BT. I actually tried converting these to MPEG but it fails every time I try, so I've given up.
Seasons five and six are five discs apiece with a single data backup disc. They are completely high definition and excellent quality as I recorded them off the air live, with the exception of one or two episodes when I had poor reception. The same holds true for season seven, but as of now, there's only one disc.
More information than you wanted to know? Sorry, I have a tendency to ramble.
BTW, if anyone's interested in my little random episode grid, let me know and I can upload it here. Basically, it's a list of every MITM episode ever, in random order.
