Reddit user Tarlcabot18 wrote the following:
I've gotten my hands on some higher quality KTMA episodes than those generally available and decided to clean up the audio and video (as needed) and upload to Youtube as more definitive copies of this rarely seen (and usually in very poor quality) season.
KTMA for the unaware was the local UHF station where the show first aired.
In any case, the copies I found blow the widely circulated DAP copies that were already uploaded to Youtube out of the water when it comes to video quality in most cases. I took the new, cleaner copies and went a step further by working my magic on the audio to remove the VHS buzz and static hiss. Plus on the muddier-looking episodes I adjusted the brightness, color, etc.
K04-Gamera vs Barugon
K05-Gamera
K06-Gamera vs Gaos - This is a broadcast edition. The video quality is better than the new version I found.
K07-Gamera vs Zigra
K08-Gamera vs Guiron
K09-Phase IV - For copyright reasons I couldn't upload the whole thing to Youtube, so its on Archive.org
K10-Cosmic Princess
K11-Humanoid Woman
K12-Fugitive Alien
K13-SST: Death Flight
K14-Mighty Jack
K15-Superdome
K16-City on Fire
K17-Time of the Apes
K18-The Million Eyes of Sumuru
K19-Hangar 18
K20-The Last Chase
K21-The Legend of Dinosaurs

Really? Something better than BSG4YOU's handiwork!?? Good lord what a boon.
Can someone verify these are better sources than BSG4YOU's Mystery Science Theater 3000 MST3K Season00 AVC AC3 KTMA? I'm skeptical.
Bonus points for being on YT though.

I checked out the Phase IV. I think the sound may be a bit better but the video doesn't look like it.

They're not better, they're basically the same. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the "new source" was just bsg's files.
Plus, one thing my 47 years on the internet have taught me is that the more armchair engineers talk about "cleaning up" audio and video, the worse they've probably made it versus just leaving it alone.

Yeah I watched the same one with the video jerking all over the place. Both the version you can find on youtube and the one on archive.org match and do this. This is garbage.

As mentioned above I watched Phase IV and went on to watch others. I know for a fact the DAP Central version (not even the DVD) of Phase IV was better than this garbage.
I declare shenanigans.
I cast these out in the name of BSG4YOU!!
Instead, this is the definitive KTMA "source" you will find, at the moment and probably for a long time: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=20467500
These are Cinematic Edition 1080p upgrades done by Herod that are incredible and make the movies very watchable: https://mega.nz/folder/cVFCCZwZ#AWGL3gaMej1XFqUGBk8ojA
Change my mind.

My wife's review of this "new" Phase IV was delete and watch the (BGS4YOU!) one we already have.

47 years on the internet??? Amazing! Of course what we had in 1974 could hardly be called the internet...
