DVD Picture Quality Question.
Hi guys,
About two years ago I bought Married With Children Season's Seven through Ten on DVD, Two disc Sets released by Mill Creek Entertainment and as I was watching the first few Episode's I found myself being disappointed with the Picture Quality, as it's more Grainy and Pixelated compared to when it was on TV. I thought it was odd that the quality was that subpar for a show that was produced between 1987 to 1997! I was reminded of this just today when I was going to attempt making a Katey Sagal Photo Collection. Anyway, last year I saw that the series was released in Three Disc Sets as well. Does the bad picture quality have to do to the fact they condensed the seasons to Two Disc's on the versions I bought, with 12 episodes per disc? Would I benefit more if I bought the Three Disc versions? Thanks! |

They lower the bitrate substantially to fit more video on the discs.
It is quite noticable I made a bad purchase trying to save money and picked up Nightmare On Elm St. 8 movies on 4 discs. The bad part is, each movie included Widescreen and Fullscreen. So technically it was 16 movies on 4 discs. The picture is horrible. It's unbelieveable that they didn't include eight discs with side A and B for Fullscreen and Widescreen. You gotta watch out for thos condensed Seasons on only a couple of discs.

Back in 94 to 97, the should would have been edited on BetaSP tapes, and delivered to the broadcaster on D-2 or D-3.
All of these formats are now obsolete, and low quality compared to today's standards. Also, on DVD you would get a resolution of 640x480, and the old 4:3 aspect ratio. When watching it on a modern wide-screen television all of the technical shortcomings will be more noticeable than if one viewed it on a CRT TV, no larger than 32" (and very few people back then had televisions that big).

Try to stick to official releases, there are some on Amazon that are not that legit.

From what I figure Mill Creek release cheaper Two Disc Set Versions of TV Shows that are available from bigger labels. I found the Married With Children DVDs at K Mart in the Bargain Bin for about 6 dollars. At the same time I found Seasons One to Three of King of Queens and the Picture Quality is excellent on them! When I bought M*A*S*H Seasons One to Six, I bought the Cheaper Version in the Slimmer Packaging, but they're all Three Disc Versions and the Picture Quality is better on those than the Married With Children's I got! When I buy Three's Company Season's Four to Six, I'll be sure to get the Three Disc Sets.

Jason,
Yeah I noticed this too, the US versions of KOQ were less compressed than the UK editions.

Getting to my point .... if you see BLU-RAY versions, you won't be getting better quality because of how the show was natively shot. |

In the case of show that were shot on video, it is possible to go to the original camera tapes and re-edit the shows, then use some digital trickery to achieve some upscaling, but the end result will never be as good as what was shot on film. Another problem, is that some DVD and Blu-ray are simply a digitization of the shows as completed and delivered to the broadcasters back in the day, and these are what looks bad.
