View Full Version : Babylon 5
Anyone who ordered Babylon 5 on DVD received it yet. Just got it yesterday, and was not impressed with the picture quality at all.
If they do start releasing the series 1 to 5, I hope they improve the quality.
Yes i agree if it looks better on TV then why the lower quality on DVD?
The Gathering though is crap but In the Beginning is thankfully Widescreen and better quality!
The gathering and Season 1 was crap anyway! Sinclair bah

The Gathering was filmed on Super 35, this tends to have grain etc, especially with limited budgets.
In the Beginning was filmed on 35mm
Both were converted to NTSC video for post production and the CGI was added to the NTSC masters. (note: the cgi for the first tv movies and first couple of seasons was rendered on a network of about 8 32MB Amigas, this limited the quality of the CGI)
Both tv movies appear to suffer from over compression due to limted bitrate used.
Yes but what i'm trying to say is that on TV they appear near perfect.. but the DVD is Crap quality surely you'd get better or at the least the same quality..?
