Comments:

The Eureka has been brightened and I see edge-enhancement. Because of the digital processing it is less sharp than the Image Entertainment DVD. The aspect ratio is the same and the damaged spots on the film are the same, so it appears that Eureka have just done some contrast boosting in an attempt to improve the image quality, but in essence their manipulations have only lessened its clarity. I don't have any reason why the times are slightly different and Ole who owns the Eureka disc did not some "ghosting" prevalent when the production is from one standard taken to another. Bottom line: Stick with the Image Entertainment for now.
