You'll end up half-witted if you rely on the Twin Peaks Gazette to furnish you with information. There's nothing like enterprise, I always say.

P.S. Kudos for your Poirot avatar. I have an unhealthy obsession with Agatha Christie

I beg to differ.  I find that the TP & FWWM threads on Dugpa.com contain more questions than attempts at answers.  The Gazette board also contains greater discussions on the esoteric, occult and philosophical influences of TP, which IMO form the greater essence of this story.         

 I'm glad you find the discussions about esoteric, occult and philosophical influences on Twin Peaks interesting. 

The post you quoted was referring to actual, literal information in the conventional sense, as opposed to people stroking their chins, gazing at their navels and generally talking bollocks. If I'd said 'You'll end up half-witted if you rely on the Twin Peaks Gazette to furnish you with opinions' you would have had a point. Exy wanted to know if anyone had downloaded Twin Peaks in HD and nobody replied. It's an open and shut case. No debate necessary.

No worries. You're (fairly) new to the board. It's a mistake anybody could have made (if they hadn't read a thread properly). 

Welcome to the board and don't be a stranger/let the door hit you on the way out (delete as applicable)

Who said they are sorry for talking bollocks?  Your have misquoted somebody, but no worries, it's a mistake anybody could have made (if they hadn't read a thread properly).

'Caustic' isn't a good look for you. Might I suggest you persevere with 'trite'?

Blog is updated.  Julia McKenzie is almost as lame as Geraldine McKewan as Marple, by the way, or maybe I shouldn't blame the actors the fault lies with the produces, the thought of shoe-horning Miss Marple into The Pale Horse and other non-Marple mysteries is a travesty.

Yes...I've got quite a few of these 720p HD episodes now...all of Season 1 and a handful of Season 2.

Now as to the quality...having recently viewed the entire series in the new 'Gold Box' edition with all the recent  retouches etc (standard def viewed upscaled 1080p) I can compare...& I can safely tell you that these HD episodes knock the 'standard definition' completely out of the water.  This is how Twin Peaks should be viewed...in High Definition, the depth of the image, texture & detail are awesome to behold and it has totally transformed...how I view this series.  What a stunning work of art this is and in HD, this is really brought to the fore.

They are  easily transferred to standard DVD discs (or usb sticks) and can then be watched through a Blu-ray player/home cinema that accepts MKV files...big screen + HD = heaven.

Absolutely loved the final episode in HD with the 'redroom' scene...that one is a must.

These will do until the Blu-ray disc come out...they should've released the 'Gold Box' as BR imo...can't understand why they would back engineer the content to fit standard!!!

If ever a TV series demanded HD...then Twin Peaks is the one and only imo.

I agree I can only watch it in HD now - I play them through my Apple TV which is connected via an HDMI cable and they look stunning even on a 60 inch TV.  But imagine how great they'd look on Blu-ray!  CBS are missing a trick not putting out the Gold Box in Blu(e) in my opinion!

Has there been any news of TP on Blu-Ray? I've toyed with the idea of purchasing Twin Peaks from iTunes, but can watch it on Netflix anytime - so i haven't made the jump, plus season 1 is still only available in SD. . . Great site by the way - It's the passion that matters, don't be discouraged about anything (read a bit of discouragement earlier in regard to some posts).

Hi Bob...

I haven't heard anything in respect of Twin Peaks on Blu-ray...not as of yet.

I did finally manage to get all of the episodes from series 1 & 2 (and pilot) in the HD 720p format and I am very pleased that i have done so...these are the ones that are sold on Itunes US.

I know that all the series has been encoded to High Definition, this was done when they worked on the Gold Box edition....so they obviously back engineered HD to go onto the SD format.  I really think they missed a trick going for SD with the Gold Box, although I understand many still have SD players.  Perhaps they could've provided both HD & SD in one package....then everyone is happy!

Basically...all they need to do is port the already mastered HD content to Blu discs and re-package....and that is it, all the work has been done.  So hopefully just a matter of time...25 year annivesary might be a good choice, but I'd prefer sooner obviously!

Having since done a blanket search, I have come up with a little factoid regarding the Blu-Ray disc...nothing concrete though, you understand.

Over at Dugpa (is that a swear word around here?) on the 'Mark Frost' page...there is a mention of Frost recently 'twittering' a response 'in relation to the release of the infamous FWWM deleted scenes' where he uses the phrase 'maybe with the Blu-Ray of the Gold Box'  this is followed by 'its still an "if" not definite'. (again in relation to the FWWM scenes probably).  This is obviously nothing truly 'solid' but its good to hear the term 'Blu-Ray of the Gold Box' used by someone who is connected so closely to...and at the heart of the show.

As we already know the HD mastering of the series has already been done...so lets hope it deosn't take too long to run off the BR discs.  There has been a little bit of activity (the diary stuff etc) from Frost as of late in respect of the TP series...so there should be some interesting times ahead.

LMFAO :D I can't afford a nice new i-pod with built in video which is a damn shame as these DO sound worth the money. :( Recently bought the S2 Boxset though after having the Gold Box for some time and think the newer boxset is of slightly better quality.
