DVD Review: Great to have them available...but poor execution by VCI
Summary: 2 Stars
This is the second VCI release I have purchased that looks like it was put together by a bunch of incompetents....the "Popeye" release being the first.
Would someone please tell the technicians at VCI that there is something known as a brightness level? Throughout this DVD, the brightness is so high, that one cannot distinguish the dust trail from a snow storm. Lines on faces are frequently washed out by the white, and mountains appear to be constantly snow covered.
Speaking of "dust", some of the episodes are filled with film damage....the last episode being particularly riddled with specks, and even a constant scratch on the film one third over from the left side. Obviously, nothing was done to restore these films before tranferring.
Another problem with the set...when selecting individual episodes, the DVD continues to the next episode instead of returning to the menu, at the completion of the selected episode.
While I commend VCI for having the foresight to put out these long lost shows, they really need to learn how to properly use their equipment!
