Video: How Do the Discs Look?

These aren't the best 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen presentations in the world. Color quality wavers from sequence to sequence (and episode to episode), and detail is sometimes not as punchy (even for standard-def) as it seems like it should be. There are relatively few instances of compression artifacting or aliasing/banding, but even so, these transfers disappoint a bit.

Audio: How Do the Discs Sound?

These are simple Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks, but they seem to represent their source material strongly. Dialogue is always audible, music has a nice feel to it, and atmospherics creep into surround channels relatively frequently. Again, these aren't marvelous mixes, but they'll do.

Spanish Dolby Digital 2.0 sound mixes are included, as are English SDH subtitles.
