Defective DVD-R,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: House of the Long Shadows (DVD)
This DVD-R freeze frames during playback. Currently, all MGM DVD-Rs are being investigated for defects by Amazon.com. Hopefully, they will resolve this problem soon.

Looks terrible!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: House of the Long Shadows (DVD)
What were they thinking? Dark,grainy,washed out and completely unwatchable. What a disappointment! There's even a flash frame of a white slate that says "MTI missing frame" or something like that. Clearly where this "film" had been repaired. It's like they found a Beta rental from 1980 and dubbed it to DVD. DO NOT BUY THIS!

Disappointing print quality,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: House of the Long Shadows (DVD)
This review focuses strictly on the quality of the video image, which is quite mediocre. The image is presented in what appears to be an open-matted 1:33 aspect ratio, so there is extra information at the top and bottom of the screen compared to what should be visible in a 1:85 widescreen presentation. If you have a widescreen TV, you can zoom in to correct the aspect ratio you see, but that makes the image less crisp. Not that the image is crisp if you don't zoom in. Another problem is use of what appears to be either a TV video master, or a 2nd or 3rd generation film master. The was definately not mastered from the camera negative. Finally, the image is somewhat dark and a bit orange looking. This is the only MGM DVD-R product I purchased, and all I can say is that it is a huge step down from the generally very good image quality of the Warner Archive and Universal DVD-R products. MGM really needs to step up their game if they want to compete in this space. Disappointing, and recommended only for fans of the movie who "need to own this" regardless of quality.
