Quality rating explanation

P
K

First of all, it’s important to understand that all the DVDs offered on this site are rare items created by fans using home software and equipment. Of course, nothing offered on this site can compare with original DVDs in terms of quality. The quality varies for each title.

For instance, let’s consider an example: I recorded a broadcast in 1978, saved the tape in my basement for 30 years, and recently decided to transfer the video onto a DVD. Please note that there’s been no video remastering or audio enhancement—just a direct transfer to DVD. As you can imagine, the quality might not be very high. This serves as a typical parameter for these kinds of DVDs. It’s important to acknowledge that not all of them are of poor quality, nor are all of them of good quality. What you should keep in mind is that this collection consists of rare material that was never officially released on original DVDs. The quality can significantly differ from one DVD to another.

When browsing through this site, you’ll come across a mix of very good content and some lower quality material. This is why it’s crucial to pay attention to the quality rating provided. It’s a tool designed to give you an idea about the quality before making a purchase. Our inventory includes older DVDs with impressive quality, as well as older DVDs with lower quality. Additionally, we have new content available in high definition, while other new releases might not meet the same quality standards.

The HD era has brought about significant changes. DVDs that were rated 9.0 or 9.5 between 2003 and 2009 now typically receive ratings of 8.0 or 8.5. This shift can be attributed to the widespread adoption of high-definition technology. Nowadays, the majority of content is available in HD, which contrasts with the situation in the past.

If you were to revisit original DVDs released from 2000 to 2008 and watch them on a larger screen, you’d likely notice a drop in quality. This phenomenon applies to many of the DVDs in our collection.

What means NTSC and PAL format?

P
K

A: Most countries in North and South America, including the US and Canada, utilize the National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) format, while Europe, Australia and parts of Asia use a competing format called Phase Alternating Line (PAL).

Each DVD description include the DVD format available, if you live in US or Canada you need to choose only NTSC DVDs and if you live in Europe, Australia you need PAL format, but if you have a multi-region DVD player, you can choose any format.
