I was thinking about buying this, but don't want to be "Bitter Buyer" if a new edition is in the works. How is the video quality? Should I go ahead and pick this one up?
Considering the source material, this may be the best this film is going to look.Sadly, word has it that this isn't true. It has been posted before that Pioneer apparently didn't actually use the finalized restored negative for the DVD transfer, and instead they used an earlier lower-quality transfer. It's unclear why this was done, but apparently there's much room for improvement over the current DVD's transfer. Hopefully Pioneer will revisit this sometime (or license it to Elite, as they did for LD) with a proper anamorphic transfer.
