I knew going in these films might not look good, but I didn\u2019t think most of these transfers (most were in 1.33 full frame aspect ratio) were probably taken from VHS sources. They don\u2019t look good at all and is filled with scratches, dust marks and everything under the sun in terms of flaws. The Dolby Digital Stereo tracks themselves also aren\u2019t great though at least the dialogue does come through decently enough but in a few of the films, there were discernible hisses and pops.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
