Negative Positive
Title: Transfer & Disc Problem
Review: This KINO release has some serious problems. First, there is an authoring error in which the menu screen breaks up and pixellates when you return to it from the feature or documentary. Second, the feature A COTTAGE ON DARTMOOR(1929) displays the "herky-jerky" movement seen with PAL to NTSC transfer errors (as in Milestone's PHANTOM OF THE OPERA-1925 DVD travesty). The documentary, SILENT BRITAIN, looks fine and does not exhibit the transfer error.I contacted Kino, but have received no response. Beware this release....maybe they'll fix it in the interim. Milestone never offered to fix their PHANTOM OF THE OPERA set.....so beware.Too bad, because the film is great. The documentary is a treasure. This is the first time that Kino has screwed up a release (as far as I know).
Is the review positive or negative?
