DVD Reviews of Dolphins & Orcas
DVD Review: Amazing photography, desastrous DVD transfer...
Summary: 3 Stars
I used to own this on VHS. I also have about 10 large prints from Talbot on my walls... I'm a big fan. I think he's a genius, and this DVD features what I'm not afraid to call the most beautiful images of cetaceans ever recorded to film.
The photography is just unbelievable. Anyone who has a love for dolphins and orcas will be in heaven watching this. It's the next best thing after the real thing (I was on a sailboat for a year and I have actually experienced most of these things in real :).
This is why it's such a HUGE disappointment to witness the totally lousy digital transfer this masterpiece got subjected to. It was clearly ripped from a VHS instead of digitally mastered from the original. And the quality of the rip itself sucks. The whole DVD is 3.23GB in size... It would have been nice if they used the 4GB empty space left to at least encode the video at a higher rate!!! My old VHS version was better quality when I first watched it...
The music is the same as on the VHS: cheap "new age" synthesizer elevator music. I'd recommend just turning it off and play Keith Jarrett's "Koln concert" instead, that's what I always do :)
In short: I'd give a 5 star to the content but the DVD itself deserves a one star so, I rate in the middle, a three...
