How is the DVD?
Can anyone tell me how the warner archives dvd is?
shareALL Warner Archive DVDRs are CRAP. It's a legal way for a big company to rip off and make fools of consumers. You'd be better off buying old VHS tapes and burning them to recordable DVDs yourself, because that is exactly what these companies are doing and then charging full price as if it was an official factory pressed disc.
Don't buy DVDR movies - don't support these greedy thugs.
THe image quality on the DVDR is actually very good. It looks way better than I remembered it on VHS.
I do agree that the studios shouldn't charge the same amount as they do actual factory pressed discs. But so far, all the ones I've purchased from Warner & MGM look awesome.
I purchased this from Warner Archives and it is remastered and looks like a regular DVD. I was satisfied with my purchase as I continue to expand my slasher collection.

Spoken like the uninformed moron you are. The Warner Archive DVDs' quality is great! I own several of them. share
The quality isn't going to matter when they don't play on anyone's equipment. They are cheap perishable DVDRs, they are only playable on computers, and they are junk.
It's a huge scam and should be shut down. When I make my own DVDRs they play on all my equipment. Warner Brothers and others are making theirs not play on certain equipment purposely to cause consumers to have to buy new players, and probably getting a kickback from the manufacturers.
Misinformed 101. I have multiple Warner Archive DVD-Rs and they ALL play perfectly on my Blu-ray player. I've had several of them for 4-5+ years now and they haven't "perished" yet. The sad truth is that all media— DVDs, Blu-ray, and DVD-R— degrades over time. Fortunately, you and I will both be long dead before the discs ever get to that point.
shareI just got a new blu-ray player and they do play on that one. My other player was maybe too old. It was from 2006. I'd still rather have real DVDs though because you get extras that can be interesting.
