Review title: Great Series, Horrid Video Transfer
Product review: All the video transfers are so-so (the physical disks are only single-layer DVD-5's [4.7GB]). Season 4 is by far the worst. Thirteen episodes crammed onto four single-layer discs. I've seen better cam vids taken from a movie theater (OK, not quite that bad). I can almost just about live with the vid quality of Seasons 1-3 and 5, but there are terrible and quite distracting compression artifacts with Season 4. That, and several of the discs have real trouble playing in anything but my computer. I have used WinX Ripper to archive the series (each season fits nicely onto its own single-layer BD-R disc in ISO form) so that if/when a disc becomes unreadable I can burn a copy onto a quality Verbatim disc that my player can actually read.As far as the packaging, I've seen lots worse (can anyone say 'Battlestar Galactica'?) I'll buy some nice sleeves for the discs and call it good.So HBO cheaped out on this one to make a buck. As Omar would say, you been played.
