It's not Anamorphic so it's not going to look good if you have a widescreen TV, and the 2.0 stereo is sloppy. Still it was nice seeing the unaltered version of "Return".



Oh, it was "remastered". By that I mean it was brought back to the original quality of the original masters. Not that they remastered it to today's standards.

Someone wrote a review that they have the bootleg DVD-R Laserdisc editions of the originals and these look better than what they released on DVD. Picture quality wise I suspect this came from VHS copies George must have had in his closet for years.

I'm watching the unaltered verson of EPIV and am a little dissaponted that they didn't make it 5.1 audio but still I like the fact that they're on DVD instead of the decaing Video tape.
