i just iewed the 1st color episode for the 1st time on dvd. i have all 4 volumes but im still watching volume 3! i think the picture and sound quality is excellent n both the color and b-w episodes. im watching on a 19inch set with a s-vhs input. if u have this input on ur tv u should use it with ur dvd player. most if not all dvd players have an s-vhs output and it makes a slight improvement in picture quality. anyway, the technology of the times does play a factor. bck then the color cameras had tubes and each primary coor had to be in registration. if u notice some of the shots in the blue whale of the 1st color episode show a lagging effect mostly in the far shots on the left side of the screen. it looks a little like watching a 3-D movie without the glasses. today, cameras have chips instead of tubes and if u look at the interviews on the same dvds(for example) u can see a crystal clear picture.
