Hi guys, I had hard drive problems and lost my copy of the unaired pilot, the one with really crappy video. Can anyone assist me in getting a copy?

isn't that in the dvd box set?

And if it is please just go out and buy the dvd set. Only dl if you don't live in the states where you can't buy it for 30 bucks on amazon.

Trask43, thanks, I'm trying that. It may give me some trouble as I'm planning to edit it in with something else, and that place has only RealMedia files. But we'll see.

Gratto, don't worry about me, I already bought 2 DVD sets (one to use for converting others), and no, the unaired version isn't there.

The unaired pilot is assuredly NOT on the DVD set, and contains a noticeably different beginning, an extra middle scene explaining the Battle of Serenity Valley, and some theme music swiped from a variety of places -- "The Abyss", Stephen King's TV miniseries of "The Stand", and so forth...

History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it merely shouts "Weren't you listening the first time?!?" and lets fly with a club.

(Sorry I didn't answer last night, I was getting sleepy.)
The unaired version is the one that Joss made and Fox was unhappy with. To address some of their concerns, he added some things, and re-shot a few scenes. The final version is what's on the DVD set.
When I rewatched the unaired version recently, I noticed that all the music was different. It was more western and felt darker.

EDIT: KURUKAMI's post wasn't there when I started this post - wasn't trying to be repetitive.

To paraphrase Cartman - sweeeet. Wish they could have put that on the DVD, so we could compare and contrast; in particular the differences with Mal that are referred to. Ain't even gonna bother trying to find it - at 56K by the time it downloads the browncoats would have lost at Serenity Valley.
