DVD advice needed
Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 9:36 pm
Hi All,
This is my first post, after lurking for some time. I've a question, which I don't think has been specifically asked before, though please forgive me if it has!
Finally, after being a fan of MWC ever since it first aired in the UK, I'm getting around to buying the lot on DVD, but what's the best way to go about it?
I don't own any MWC DVDs at all yet & am well aware that there are various issues regarding edited, syndicated shows on the region 1 season #4 set, replaced title music, etc.
I have a multi-region DVD player & am happy to import whichever DVDs are best overall. Should I go for the German Bundy Box or perhaps the US (cheapest!) or UK Complete Series sets & buy an additional, uncut season #4 set?
Although collecting the episodes themselves is my first priority, it would be cool to have all the currently-available extra features, interviews & documentaries too. Where necessary, am happy to pick those up separately though.
Finally, editing issues aside, in terms of audio/video quality, are the US/UK/German DVDs all on a par? Has anyone ever done any side-by-side comparisons? I realise that even a future blu ray release isn't going to improve the A/V quality hugely, but I'm a big fan of the DVDBeaver & DVDCompare websites & always buy the best looking & sounding discs from whichever source, based on their recommendations...
The more internet trawling I do, the more confusing it all gets - help!
