Title: Wonderful film, bad DVD adaptation
Review: This mini-series captivated me the first time I saw it on A&E. It has much of the original Austin dialog and great visual scope that adds to the drama and understanding of society in 1813. It is masterfully done and captures me and everyone I have shown it to over the last few years. Unfortunately the DVD is not well done. It does provide a nice "making of" segment and the wide-screen format is also quite nice. However, as I watched my new DVD I couldn't figure out why everyone looked so washed out. The dresses, faces, and walls all seemed to be the same color. The outdoor scenes have lost much of their brilliance. Thinking I imagined the original I played the VHS and DVD side-by-side and was amazed at the poor quality of the DVD picture. Other reviewers have confirmed this poor medium. Given the choice, buy the video tapes and copy them onto your own DVD when DVD-RAM recorders get cheaper.
