| 695993 | 2008-08-11 12:16:00 | The Poms had video on disc before 1939 ! ! Lacked a bit of quality, also a bit short, but those old 78s were the only truly great medium for the rabid videophile. (Didn't even need "Monster" audio cables either.) |

| 695997 | 2008-08-11 20:38:00 | Why? Ken Some DVDs are just copied from a VHS version rather than going back to a higher quality master. |

| 695998 | 2008-08-11 20:53:00 | Some DVDs are just copied from a VHS version rather than going back to a higher quality master. So you are watching VHS quality on a DVD as opposed to VHS quality on a tape. Why would a tape be preferable. (Luddites excluded from answering :o ) Ken |

They would look truly terrible if that was the case. In some cases the master isn't in good condition and they just use it anyway instead of remastering. |

(Luddites excluded from answering :o ) Ken Having now had my morning coffee,I can safely say they are much more interesting on VCR,the acting seems better among-st other things!! |
