Chris, One thing to remember, as long as the dvd presentation looks great to your eyes than whatever is said about them here really shouldn't have any impact on you. Personally, I have several dvds that I thought looked great, but were panned by others on this forum.

This is my only criticism of Fox which is handling the distribution of MGM films. They apparently have brought over their price structure of boxsets to MGM dvds now. The only way consumers can change that policy is not to buy the dvds. Crawdaddy

John, If you think there is a PQ problem then don't buy them until you get confirmation that all is well. Otherwise, I don't know what else to tell you because it appears we are still wondering if there are framing and color issues. Crawdaddy

Let me say a couple more things here. I don't know if these discs are framed correctly or that the color is right? I'm all for taking a studio to task for releasing a sub-par dvd, but we need to be right regarding our criticism just like the studios need to be right in producing high quality...

As many can attest to, I'm not a big fan of judging dvd quality based on screenshots. I want to see the dvds run in realtime and on my display. Crawdaddy

I always hate it when somebody starts off a sentence "with all due respect".:) Anyhow, what are these horrible problems with the visuals based on? Also, this article was probably written before any of you have seen the latest non-Region 1 dvd release.

So we aren't sure there are problems? Well, DTS Digital Images/Lowry Digital Images are tooting their horn about these 20 Bond film restorations. Some of you might want to read the latest issue of Home Theater Magazine. Crawdaddy

Let me ask a dumb question. How do we know that the reframing is not correct? Just because you have more picture on a prior dvd release, doesn't mean the framing was correct. The same question applies to the color timing issue. If there are problems with color and framing, I think it's too...

So this isn't a Region 1 release? You know that different elements might be used for this upcoming Region 1 release? Again, I would stay away from this upcoming SD-DVD release, knowing that the James Bond films will be huge releases for Blu-ray and will probably be done using MPEG-4 and...

We don't have any chats schedule with MGM nor Fox and there probably won't be any in the future. Also, I still don't understand what issues you guys are talking about? Are we talking about PQ issues from prior dvd releases or something specific about the upcoming release date?

John, Report back on what exactly?

I'm with RAH, my next purchase of Bond films will be on a HD format.
