Title: PAL format dvd release: a review of the transfer
Review: This is a review of the PAL Reg. 2 Import - United Kingdom dvd release.This is a fraudulent product. The back of the case says "aspect ratio 1.66:1 - Widescreen Anamorphic," but it is not!! What we get is a poorly done pan and scan version. It is very definitely NOT widescreen. I don't know about the anamorphic part. This dvd is poorly done and I find it difficult to watch at times. I am quite disappointed.The part of the cropped image we do see is well done: there is very little video noise, speckling, etc.This dvd has no credits at the end, another disappointment. The imdb (internet movie database) says that the cast is announced by an voice off screen. Four minutes are shaved from the run time.Amazon needs to change its advertisement on this particular product.I note that this item will be released as a mod-R in NTSC format in the USA soon. I am hoping that it will be well done and in the proper aspect ratio.
Is the review positive or negative?
