this is the original run. accept no substitutes. at least until they come out on DVD sometime next century
Simply put: this a collection of Seinfeld from begining to end on VCD. not copied from syndication or tv but from a set of tapes made for the cast and crew at the wrap of the show. They are without commercials, weather alerts, station ids, banners, or syndication cuts. the average syndication cut episode is 20 minutes, the average uncut studio episode is 22 minutes. From the first "that button is too high" to the last "that button is too high" and every Yada Yada in between. you miss nothing here
that number times 180 episodes is a lot of lost seinfeld. but there is more. the syndication reshoot with jerry stiller ( the episode is the parking space) as georges dad was what most saw on tv but another actor did the spot. they don't play the PD parade anymore. or the invitations. some they rarely play. and the best part is you can play and play these and the signal will never get worn. I have my set of tapes but they are not going to lose signal strength.
you can get really small screen divx copies off of kazza or morphis, but that might take a while and you might not find them all. you could download the VCD quality from efnet if you can find them. but at 230 megs an episode, even at 35 megs for Divx , it is going to take you a looong time to get them all. I have did the hard work for you. (I have mastered them from tapes not downloaded others) I have the original, not ones broadcast from TV.
if you can get seinfeld 14 times a week like the US then these are not for you, if you are looking for a DVD quality experince (and who isn't ) then these are not those, although they have alot of the same plus. they are about a fifth of the cost of the DVD sets, if they ever will be released (judging from the Xfiles fourth season at a $150 time 9 seaons of seinfeld)
also included with this set will be the blooper tapes, outakes most did not see. these are being sold for $35 apiece in some places. for the cost of four tapes you can own all of them. now the qualtiy is not DVD quality, it won't be ever. it is also not $700 either.
the set will be burned to 64 discs. they will be in order. they will be in paper sleeves so you might put them in a binder. they will be numbered with a seperate sheet to indicate what is where. the reason I say they might be labeled is because I have had problems in the past of individuals having the labels come off either out or (sometimes worse) of their DVD player or computer CD tray. in any event, I will include the label designs on a disc so you may put them on if you wish.
they are intended to play full screen on your TV played through a VCD compatible DVD player (check out www.vcdhelp.com for models that do) they will also play on your computer with appropriate software
you can request a demo disc at www.zoopc.com/seinfeld.htm which is used to check for compatibility and if you will like the set.
the cost is $150 ($170 with international shipping). payment will be made in the form of pay pal. I normally don't accept money orders or checks but sometimes I make acceptions. Postage is extra outside of the US.
I hope this answers all your questions. if not please write back and I will try and answer further questions
