Tenebre
Sazuma Productions Austria RC0
Medusa Italy RC2

 
The non anamorphic transfer from Sazuma Productions (which is based on the same master as the almost identical USA transfer from Anchor Bay) provides us with a more detailed picture (pic#5) and less cropping on the sides (e.g. eyebrow pic#1). The Sazuma transfer has fewer compression artefacts than the Medusa transfer (pic#4). The Italian DVD suffers from combing effects when deinterlaced in WEAVE mode, probably due to incorrect progressive flagging (pic#5).
