Poor Transfers Lots of BW Grain

"That's Entertainment in Blu-Ray 1080p. Should be wonderful. Should be sharp.

But it actually is an immense dissapointment on Blu-Ray. Most BW clips are incredibley grainy. There are several audio drop-outs. People have argued with me that it's because it is supposed to be there. Baloney. In this day of Blu-Ray, there shouldn't be any distraction from the art, because of technical problems. The same with the last release of Wizard of Oz, which was also incredibly grainy. I therefore watch the 1999 release, which has a sharp, but not grainy picuture. It is too bad because I expected "That's Entertainment", in Blu-ray to be altogether better than the DVD collection. This is my fourth version. (1984 Single TE Laserdisc,VHS, DVD) And the last. The DVD version is actually better over-all. But I will always love the content of "That's Entertainment.""

Thats Entertainment box set blu ray

"Very dissapointed in Warner Home Video, this collection, especially Part 111, which has a wonderful John Mauceri overture, just looks, and sounds flat. I own the laser disc box set, and I use it as a reference, the quality and dynamic fidelity of the above stated overture, is nothing short of spectacular, the video quality is first rate. Having bought the previously released dvd box set, mainly for the anamorphic enhancment of segments that apply, this transfer offers no improvement on video, perhaps even less,and the sound, well just imagine putting on a pair of ear muffs. To sum up, save your money."

Video Quality much less than expected

"Most of the earlier video especially the black and white ones look very grainy. The regular DVDs appear to look more natural than this. This needs several rounds of refactoring before it is ready for prime-time. Hold off for now."

WARNING DO NOT BUY - DVD is Better and Visually Superior

"What a Shame - I bought 30 Blu-Ray disks All of them SUPERIOR. What in hell happened to this 3 volume set of That's Entertainment? Grainy to the nth degree. I own the LASER disk set and the DVD - both better visual quality.



Will SOMBODY please publish the name and address of where we can get our money back. Will amazon give ue our money back because of "the product did not meet the stated condition of good use?" I noticed that amazon has this reason for RETURNING product. I wonder. . . . .



I also herd the Warner Brothers "Pulled" the disk from the shelves in Australia possibly for the same complaints you are reading from all of us. I wonder if it got "pulled" because of all the BAD comments of the new Blue-Ray release?





I have the laser and DVD versions which are clear- the BLUE_RAY SUCKS BIG TIME! and want my money back-

WARNER BROTHERS-GOD LOVE 'EM somehow allowed this grossly inferior set to get out to the public without checking it first-



Note to all readers: Please call and write Warner Brothers and pressure them to accept "RETURNS" and to Re-do this set."
