I am anticipating a response of "well, the
laserdisc/VHS copy of Movie X has
much better quality than the DVD release", similar to the "my LPs sound
better than my CDs" debate. ?To both arguments, I say that whatever digital
copy you experienced was not produced properly, and should not reflect as a
limitation of the format.
My first horror movie (at a very tender young age of 6 or 7) was
"Squirm" on a CED VideoDisc. I recently saw the film again on DVD,
and it just wasn't the same. Not nearly as realistic or
terror-inducing. ;)
