Does anyone know if there's a Wing Commander IV DVD Edition out there? I heard some rumours and though this place is the best to ask around ;)

i think it prety clear it not a rumour!
(since there have been popping up screenshot of it all mounth!)

i gess now you want to know where you can get it, well you can't buy it in the shops, i belive it was given with a piece of hardware, IIRC.
 
From what I can see, you don't have the black lines across the screen. BTW how many DVD's did the DVD version come on, i wouldn't think one would be enough

What differences were there between the original and the DVD version?
  • all the options of the Win95 patch (you did say "original", which was initially released in DOS only), primarily (but not solely) relating to the use of DirectDraw and DirectSound calls
  • non-interlaced theater-quality 24-bit video
  • full Dolby sound

The Win95 patch for WCIV has the option to turn off the interlacing as well.

Yeah, but it looks like crap, as they just take the same data, and stretch out the 'bands' of actual video to cover up the blank lines. :p
 
I just brought Joe Garrity (Origin Museum guy) over to Stately Lesnick Manor to see WCIV DVD... he went from "it's not that different" to "I'm going to go buy a DVD player" in about two seconds...:)
