This has been floating on the internet for years, so not my OC except remaking it with HD screen grabs.

    Did you compress with JPEG? Also, did you grab from the Blu-Rays, or just from the P+ web viewer?

    Because Paramount is sadistic and limits those to 360p.

      Stills are the HD ones from Trek Core and the third “roll credits” from is a screen grab from the end of the episode I was watching (The Pegasus) when I made it.

      My Blu-Ray of S2 isn’t much better than what’s on TrekCore, so I just got them from there.

      It’s compressed with webp for the post.

        Part of me wants to buy/borrow the Lower Decks DVDs just so I can get better screen rips on Memory Alpha.

        Then again, I also kind of want to fork Memory Alpha because at this point, you basically can’t use Fandom without an ad blocked.

        But that’s such a huge undertaking because I’d have to find hosting, import the large database dump (getting it, or at least a version from late May, isn’t so hard - just check Special:Statistics), delete what I don’t need, fix/rebuild templates, replace images, check tens of thousands of pages, remove Memory Alpha administrative pages) get the word out, etcetera.

        It’d almost be awesome if it were a .website project, but even if it ever got off the ground, I’d worry the traffic might be unsustainable.
