Title: some technical faults in this set
Product review: Both discs state REGION 4, but they play on every DVD unit I've tried them in. The theatrical version (disc one) apparently is sped up about five percent -- I didn't notice it at first, but when it came in at just over two hours, I went back and discovered the alteration. Not too noticable, but you can tell the voices are modulated about a tone higher than normal, and the physical actions are a bit too fast. Still, it's watchable. Disc two is the TV cut, and the transfer is very disapointing. Pretty muddy and dim. Not nearly as clear as disc one, which really isn't a high quality transfer either. I had high hopes for this, since the US seems to miss out on every extended package on all things DUNE. The box and liner jackets are cool, but overall this was a let down. Wait for the expanded version due out soon...if they really DO issue it this time around!
