| Feature | Optimal Spec for this Episode | Why it matters | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | 1080p (Blu-ray Remux) or 480p (DVD Original) | Universal released the series on Blu-ray in 2019. The 1080p scan reveals the grain structure of the 35mm film. A 480p file likely came from the old 2000s DVDs. | | Codec | H.264 or H.265 (HEVC) | H.265 will give you a smaller file size for the same quality, crucial for archiving the full season. | | Aspect Ratio | 1.33:1 (4:3) | Do not accept a cropped 16:9 version. The show was shot in fullscreen. Cropping removes visual information. | | Audio | English Dolby Digital 2.0 | The original broadcast audio is mono. The Blu-ray offers a 2.0 stereo track. Avoid 5.1 upmixes, which make the laser sounds sound weirdly echoey. | | Subtitles | English SDH | The episode has rapid-fire dialogue. Closed captions help catch the one-liners. |
