I've read some mixed reviews of the DVD vs. the VHS. So I popped both in and sync'd them up. After flipping back and forth, there's no discernable difference between the two - in regards to both sound quality and picture quality - and certainly, the DVD is no worse than the VHS. Both were taken from film reels as the originals are probably long lost. Edge goes to the DVD since it offers track selection and the trailers (not that they're much of anything though), and chances are your DVD player is wired to your stereo system.
