   Original 4:3 (Pan & Scan) TV Broadcast -   
   25 Nov 15 07:54:46   
   
   Hi everyone,   
      
   For archival purposes I am currently on the lookout for S8 and S9 in the   
   original square TV 4:3 Pan & Scan format. I own the complete series DVD   
   boxsets (Collectors Ed.) and Season 8 and 9 are widescreen as you know.   
      
   Would anyone by any chance have recorded properly the original TV broadcasts   
   in 4:3 format? Maybe with a decent DVD recorder or capture card? I would need   
   it to be as close to Master quality as possible.    
      
   I would gladly (re)purchase those seasons in 4:3 if they were available...but   
   apparently all releases are widescreen for S8 and S9 -even the Japanese and   
   Chinese boxsets.   
      
   Film student here, I'm currently doing research on the X-Files and trying to   
   locate the 4:3 broadcast to do a scene-by-scene comparison of perceived   
   tension and psychological impact when compared to the open matte (16:9   
   widescreen) version in the    
   official DVD release. This is my final research paper, so image quality is   
   important to be projected properly.   
      
   Any help is much appreciated indeed!!!   
      
   Best,   
      
   Carlos
