does the pilot "The Unknown" exist? It was turned into the episode "Form of things unknown" on the original Outer Limits series. If it does exist, anyone have it for trade?

I know it existed, because I've seen it. But I saw it over 20 years ago, in the collection of a trader who could not at the time copy it (the person he got it from made him swear to never make a copy). I'd love to have this too - it was very well done, and I think I liked it better than the aired version (which I loved). I was disappointed when the series was released on DVD and it wasn't included.

Ah, but is it in PAL? Did you get it originally in NTSC and still have that copy?

PAL, NTSC DVD or Secam VHS, I'm very interested in a copy of this. I'd forgotten about it, and now that I'm reminded ... Jie3, please take a look at my trade list and see if there's anything there that you'd like to trade. Cool!

I can't actually remember what format it was on, I didn't have much demand for it, and wasn't really that bothered with it. I'm not even sure where the dvd is, but I saved it as vcd on a hard disc, so i can convert it to any format, plus I do proper conversions, none of that running it through one programme. When i convert something, it takes a lot of work. So whatever format, it'll be the best that i can make it.

Ok, I've converted this episode, but I just want to make sure it's the right one. Do any of you know the difference between this one and the one was included in the series?
