Re: [Videolib] Best DVD format for Home viewing

[Gangwer, Valerie]

In any case, DVD-R suggests a burned copy, not a master-pressed disc and
yes, it may be more likely to have playing issues in older DVD players or
some computers. I would go for the Kino-Lorber to avoid any region issues,
and a lot of people still do not have Blu ray players.

I am looking into purchasing the movie "Black Sabbath" with Boris Karloff for 
our public library's DVD collection. Midwest Tape lists two versions: one that 
just says DVD, and a newer one that is a DVD-R. My inclination is to get the 
DVD, but it is fullscreen where the DVD-R is widescreen. We usually order 
widescreen versions of films, but I'm concerned whether patrons taking a DVD-R 
home for viewing will run into compatibility problems with their players and 
this format. Can the group offer some guidance?


Thank you!

Re: [Videolib] Best DVD format for Home viewing

[Dennis Doros]

The American expert on Mario Bava is Tim Lucas of Video Watchdog. He would
have a good opinion on this. His email is pr...@videowatchdog.com

Looking at the information, the Arrow Blu-ray version from England seems to
be the best, but that might be region-blocked (though I doubt it) and
you're looking for DVD.

Kino Lorber usually does good work and it seems they are offering the
English version in the release. You might want to call them and ask.

If there's a DVD-R version, I suspect it's not good.

Re: [Videolib] Best DVD format for Home viewing

[Bergman, Barbara J]

In the case of old films like this, you should be looking at which seems to be 
a legit vendor (Kino Lorber) vs sketchy (Cheezy. Seriously, that's who's listed 
as distributor for one listing in Amazon).
