\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

All 12 movies are shown in their original respective aspect ratio. Each one of these look okay but I did notice some significant interlacing, probably because there are 2-3 movies put on a disc. There\u2019s none that look particularly good but they are serviceable considering the low price.<\/p>\n

This goes for the audio as well. Every movie just has a standard Dolby Digital 2.0 track which I found satisfactory enough, nothing amazing, of course but fine.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
