Star Trek - The Next Generation Blu-Ray Sampler Release

Star Trek - The Next Generation is being targeted for conversion to HD and Blu-Ray by CBS-DVD.  A sampler disc is slated for release by the end of the year and will contain three stories including "Encounter at Farpoint" pts 1 & 2, "The Inner Light" and "Sins of the Father".


As you may know, Star Trek, the Next Generation was filmed and so will benefit from a remastering to High Definition.  But the effects were created via video editing and so the completed episodes were downgraded to standard video for airing and eventual video tape and DVD release.  Unlike the original Star Trek Blu-Ray release, the reconstructions will contain all original effects and components.

The process to locate all filmed footage and put them all together again, in essence, reconstructing the episodes in HD is time consuming.  This sampler release is meant to whet the appetite for the Blu-Ray releases perhaps in 2012.

Can't wait to see what they look like.
