RE: Buffy Season 2 picture quality
It`s particularly bad on Disc 1, but it does improve. Check out the "Do I have a case against Amazon" thread on this forum for more info...
RE: What TV series would you like to see released on DVD ?
Is anyone still reading this thread?!!
Twin Peaks
Anything by Chris Morris
Psychos (Channel 4 a few years ago - top series - why no more?)
Black Books
The West Wing (like M*A*S*H set in the White House)
Rex The Runt
All I can think of for now...
RE: Do I have a case against Amazon?
OK - I`ve been struggling through some of the postings on http://www.thedvdforums.com, and I`ve come to the following conclusions:-
1) It`s a problem for a lot of people (someone even quoted the exact scene I just mentioned) but it remains to be seen if it`s also player-related - mine`s a Pioneer DV 535 by the way.
2) Other symptoms include screen judder when you pause on the earlier episodes (I get this).
3) Another posting said the quality was just as bad on the Season 2 episodes they`d taped off the TV.
4) Most people seem to be more concerned about the packaging ;¬)
RE: Do I have a case against Amazon?
VFM - let us know what happens. The worst instance I can find is in episode 2 when they are looking for body parts in the lockers - there are a couple of shots of Giles & Willow in the dark that are really bad quality - I`d be interested to know if it`s the same for your copy...
RE: Do I have a case against Amazon?
There`s a similar thread running on the R2 Project message board on http://www2.r2-dvd.org/MessageBoard.jsp - my copy suffers from similar problems, although I got it from Tesco. Allegedly the problems are due to the type of film they used when they originally filmed the series, although that doesn`t explain why it should improve throughout (although I`ve only got as far as disk 2...)
