I saw some minor combing, but for a non-progressive transfer this doesn't look too bad at all. Contrast and shadow detail are quite good, looking de-saturated, and the image is fairly sharp. The big bonus from those previously owning the VHS is the commentary by Herzog and Hill. It's a good one! Hill is essentially posing questions and Herzog does most of the talking in response. It flows very well and is quite illuminating for Herzog fans. His recollections of past events is quite detailed. Although the image has weakness, mostly unnoticeable for tube owners, we still recommend the DVD for the bonus commentary. Subtitles and original audio are both adept and discernable.

NOTE: A word to the wise of New Yorker Video - I'd get a new graphics designer for your covers which are identifying themselves as the worst in the business (see Xala and Mandabi for further proof!).
