Video: How Do the Discs Look?

This documentary looks just about as good as one could expect in standard-def. Presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.33:1 over two discs, King: A Filmed Record is filled with wall-to-wall archival footage that looks sometimes good and mostly bad, but that's due to the quality of the original material itself - it's not a fault of this transfer. Having been hard to find for years now, it's simply a treat to be able to see this wonderful doc at all: it may not be significant in terms of seismic detail quality or high-def brilliance, but it looks like it should, and that's all that matters.

Audio: How Do the Discs Sound?

The Dolby Digital sound mixes on these discs also present the movie accurately. Some interviews are more clearly audible than others, but overall, the doc comes to DVD with firm audio quality. No major complaints.
