Title: Amazing series, ruined by single layer disc use!
Product review: This series is an absolute classic make no mistake, but what VCI has done with this is so crazy it borders on lunacy. They have taken a series which was previously released on dual layer discs(the runtime on each disc goes way beyond the 3 hour mark in total) and looks fairly good, and crammed it onto 6 single layer dvd5's. The result? Awful 1-3mbps video bitrate, and HEAPS of compression/artefacting issues to add to the already old look of the show.A total poster child for how not to treat animation on dvd, and a god awful effort from this firm VCI.I am an international buyer from the UK, and i only bought this NTSC R1 version to avoid NTSC-PAL conversion issues, but honestly i wish i hadnt bothered as at least the UK set come on dual layer discs with proper video bitrates, and from what i can tell better video detail aside from that too.Hugely dissapointing.
