Comments |
Both DVDs have very good image
quality, but EuroVideo is slightly sharper. Optimum Releasing is slightly
cropped both on the left and on the right. Both have Finnish stereo sound,
EuroVideo also has German 5.1. None of these DVDs has any extras worth
mentioning. Big thanks to Gregory Meshman for the Optimum Releasing DVD. |
