FWIW I bought a copy of this on VHS on Ebay - turned out it was a bootleg that is barely watchable, contrary to the seller's description. Just a heads up to be careful. Anyway, I'd love this on dvd if it is ever released. It may be heresy, but I prefer it to the Sabu version.

I am debating whether to get the 5 disc SD. I have no interest in the toys etc., and was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to the informativeness of the commentary on the workprint, and the "All our Variant Futures" featurette. I am a fan of the film, but not obsessively so. I do...

Just got part of my answer. At least one other person has a track change problem at the change between track 21 and 22. Just saw this on Amazon's site. "It could jut be my DVD player (I have yet to check on another player), but playback of the DVD mysteriously stops at the end of "Back in the...

The dvd-audio 5.1 mix is unbelievable! I just wanted if anyone else had this problem: On the dvd-audio layer, my disc stops at the end of track 21 and does not continue to track 22 unless I hit the next track button on my remote. One other question, playing through my Denon 3802 receiver, it...

For what it is worth, I have been through three copies of The Best of Abbott and Costello volume 4 (dvd 18). I have tried it in five dvd players. It does not play properly in two of the five. One of the two it has problems with is my main player a Tohsiba SD5700, which plays all my other dvds...

I have the first three volumes, and love them. I needed to return one to get a copy that did not freeze. Unfortuneately I cannot seem to find a copy of volume 4 that works in my Toshiba sd5700. I have tried three different copies without any luck. It does work in another player, but I don't...

Witness is scheduled to be released in a special edition on August 23, 2005 - hopefully this edition won't be missing dialogue. It will contain a making of documentary and a deleted scene. Talk about an odd way to hear about a new dvd, I saw this release as a tie-in to a Pennsylvania Dutch...

Saw this on sale at Circuit City for $7.49. Any input on the quality of the transfer, or if a Special Edition is in the offing any time soon?

For what its worth this seems to have disappeared from the US Amazon site also. Very odd.

I was really looking forward to getting Bringing up Baby. I just scanned through it today and it had combing artifacts starting in chapter 17 around 58:43. Can anyone else confirm this potential glitch?

Did anyone ever do the comparisons? I purchased a Madacy version of Africa Screams/Jack in the Beanstalk - it was a cheap impulse buy at Best Buy, but the consensus seems to be that the quality is terrible. I plan on returning it. It the Troma release of these the best available? If so I...

I double checked and the video problems, in the form of severe combing, appear to start at exactly the start of chapter 18, and end at the very beginning of chapter 22. The combing problems disappear if I switch my player to interlace mode. I am not familiar enough with the film to know if...

As I posted above I saw problems starting somewhere in chapter 18 until somewhere in chapter 23. When I have some time later this week, I'll try to be more exact.

I just finished watching the deluxe edition, and there are definitely video problems. I do not have any other versions, but on this one there are severe combing artifacts that start around chapter 18 and run until aprox chapter 23. These go away if I switch to interlace mode on my Toshiba DVD...

I just saw a release of this film on a Disney DVD listed as widescreen 1.85:1 enhanced for 16x9. Does anyone know if this is really a new version, or just erroneous info on new packaging? I have an older version that is 1.66:1 non-anamorphic.

I believe that the out-of-sync audio is not a fault of the dvd. I seem to remember the commentary track pointing out that sometimes the film used audio and video from different performances. I agree though, this is my favorite concert film. It wasn't "just" a filmed concert. The visuals were...

Just got the Collector's Edition in the mail today. I haven't had the chance to watch the movie through yet, but initial impressions are that it looks and sounds great I had one very odd glitch on the second disk though. My Toshiba SD5700 freezes, and the tv screen turns green when trying to...

I'll third the request for (1961 Italian) The Theif of Bahgdad. I'd love to see this on dvd. I loved it so much as a kid that I bought an out of print VHS tape of it on ebay (which unfortunately seems to have been a bootleg). Watched it with the family - my children 8 and 11 loved it. I always...
