Dann warten wir doch erst mal in Ruhe ab, bis aktuelle Kritiken und Meinungen zu den neuen Boxen vorliegen....und erfreuen uns bis dahin an unseren bisherigen Boxen.... [1] [1]
Auf der Mark-1-Seite stehen ja ein paar Infos zu diesem Thema. Hab gerade nochmal geschaut:
Solange es nicht mglich ist, die Original Negative zu finden und diese zu bearbeiten, sprich restaurieren, wird sich nichts wesentliches in der Qualitt der DVDs tun. Zitat Mark-1: "I believe some shows were actually remastered from their original negatives (or inter-positives) but as these were missing for The Professionals, BRITE's only available course of action was to do what they could with LWT's transmission prints."
Und da es nun schon eine zweite Verffentlichung gibt, wrde ich bezweifeln, selbst wenn die Negative auftauchen, dass diese dann noch fr teures Geld restauriert werden. Dafr drfte der Markt schon gesttigt sein. Ist zumindest meine Meinung.
Es wird auch noch etwas zu den neuen Sets gesagt:
"... On the subject of which, thanks to everyone who has sent feedback regarding the new Contender boxsets. The concensus of opinion is that the picture quality shows a tangible improvement in terms of dirt and scratches, though audio quality is no better. (Certainly Old Dog With New Tricks still exhibits an absense of background sounds)....
Having finally had chance to assess a sample myself, a few interesting points emerge: in 'Blind Run' we finally learn Philippa's phone number as the scene in question is now uncut. The various visual glitches previously seen in 'The Madness of Mickey Hamilton' are absent in this release. The audio "thump" and missing film frames that preceded Mickey's first assassination in the hospital is now all fixed, too.
Now none of this "repair" work could have been done by Contender, so it suggests to me that Granada/LWT have had superior prints tucked away all this time - why didn't they supply these the first time around?
Having said all that, colour depth is actually worse: the eps look even more "washed out" and/or over-brightened than before. And they still suffer that strange visual "gauze-like" effect, which suggests that the 1991 digital transfers are still the ultimate source for this set.
The new sets certainly present the best picture quality we're likely to see in the long run. But for those of you who bought the 2002 releases, the overall opinion is that the new ones are only worth picking up if you spot 'em in the Bargain Bins. For those of you who have neither the old or new sets, the new sets are acceptable, though bear in mind the extras have been removed (contrary to statements on the packaging) and the menus - which were brilliant on the old sets - have been badly redesigned."
Unterm Strich wrde ich sagen: Wenn man das alte Set hat, braucht man die neuen nicht wirklich, auer man mchte auf die paar Frames in den 2 genannten Folgen noch sehen.
Wer die alten DVDs noch nicht hat und auch keinen Wert auf die Extras legt, der kann sich durchaus die neuen Sets holen.
