Well...

After a revelation, a lot of swearing & 2 hours of buggering around with Computer Software - I was finally able to watch the 1st 3 Episodes of my newly acquired 200X He-Man DVD Boxset ; Man oh man is it sweet to see the series in such great resolution & sound clarity, the TV Rips I had 'Torrented/Digitally Relocated' were honestly deplorable in comparison.
(The set has also alleviated 7Gbs of HDD space in the process )
