[QUOTE="TJP, post: 408969, member: 5151"] [USER=55379]@alexpaige[/USER] is completely correct. When CBS Drama was invented, it was intended to be for the international market, which is why they were provided with early-generation (unedited) PAL distribution prints from Warner Bros. rather than NTSC prints. That is the reason for the difference in the font in the opening credits as described. Around 1985 or 1986 when Lorimar started to use the Ediflex for editing on video rather than editing on film, they added textless elements of the main titles, opening scenes of act 1, closing scenes of acts 4 and the end credit visuals at the end of the distribution print, so it was easier to localize their shows. These were originally created on the first-generation NTSC master from the answer print and then converted to PAL via Telecine transfer. When Freevee first provided "Falcon Crest" for streaming, there was one episode in which the textless elements have been accidentally kept after the end of the episode. We addressed this issue with screen captures in our "Show - Media -Streaming" section: [URL]https://www.falconcrest.org/english/master.php?path=media/streaming/8[/URL] The current problems with the "Knots" quality on Plex TV [USER=55928]@knots4309[/USER] described are unfortunate; there seems to be no quality control at Plex at all. But they are not caused by an inverse Telecine transfer since (unconverted) NTSC masters are in use.
