THE DVD Presented in full - frame and an expansive 2.35:1 anamorphic
widescreen video transfer on opposite sides of a flipper DVD, Bushwhacked looks exactly like a film made in the 1980s.

enhanced video transfer alone profits from improved compression techniques, given the format's early tendency to pixellate in dark shots, of which this film has plenty.
As Disc Three of «The Up Series» box set, the A / V specs on 28 Up aren't very impressive, though they are, of course, a product of their time: hazy and indistinct, the fullscreen
video transfer looks fine in bright situations but suffers under darker ones.
Anthony says: This new

Paramount's Blu - ray sports a
fantastic video transfer, but the audio file was clearly botched and the supplements do nothing to raise our appreciation for this once venerable series.

American was assembled from video sources of varying, often technically limited qualities, all of which are rendered beautifully by the gorgeous 1080i /

encoded video transfer offers splendid details throughout and never falters, no matter the type of scene you are watching.

video transfer stained by the indelible burnish of the late -»80s that renders colours a little soft and atmosphere a touch on the murky side.
THE DVD MGM releases Out of Time in a spacious, overly bright and grainy 2.40:1 anamorphic
video transfer prone to moiré problems and colour bleed, but if it's a little rough around the edges (indeed, DP Theo van de Sande's work on Cruel Intentions displayed the same kind of affected autumnal defect), I'm willing to think that it's in the cause of the picture's atmosphere.
