Entertainment In Video always seemed to have a bad reputation for transfers (at least the UK releases), and in my experience, that wasn't far from the truth. I don't know why it should have been the case, but I recall some of their titles were really dreadful.
Just recently been going through some DVD's I've had for a long time, and I've even got a lovely HMV boxset of the original Star Wars trilogy which was gifted to me.......I've never been a Star Wars fan, but this set is really nice. Personally, I've always enjoyed Star Trek far more.  |
I could never diss DVD because it was such a big part of my life for more than a decade. It felt exciting and like you say, some of the packaging was great.
EIV, yeah it was a odd one. The film ‘Seven’ was particularly bad. One of the things I love about Blu-ray is it’s handling of smoke, rain, fire etc.. if a DVD was poorly authored, it could look dreadful. On the flip side, it felt great when a DVD was handled well. Also, those colours didn’t half pop!
