| Dr. Mabuse Member 261 Posts 4/02 |  Posted - May 28 2002 : 6:43PMHas anyone checked out Extreme Associates' DVD for Thomas Zupko's Abyss ? I can't believe how terrible it looks...well maybe I can. I experienced the same pixelation problems with Extreme Porno Boot Camp . Just check out this screen capture...
The pixelation looks just like that whether it's on my DVD player or on my PC with Power DVD 4.0. I have the movie on VHS and it looks much better than this. The image quality improves a bit on the disc's second layer. Any ideas? Does Extreme have a tech support e-mail address? They really need to work this thing out. I just don't want to see the same thing happen to In the Days of Whore whenever it makes its way to DVD.  [Link] |

And still can't find one. I would like to email them and tell them that they need to release more Whack Attacks and Flesh Pot on DVD!!! I've had no problems with any of my DVDs from them, but I only have Lord Byron's work.

Compared to other studios they are not nearly as good, The titles I listed above are watchable but Abyss was the worst transfer from a so-called major studio I have ever seen, fuckin' terrible. I threw mine out, in the garbage where it where it belongs. I try and rent their stuff before buying or at least read a review to check on video quality. Of course Byron's are going to be done well seeing as how he's part owner of the company. [Link] |

| Dr. Mabuse Member 261 Posts 4/02 | Posted - May 29 2002 : 1:26AM It seems like they'd want viewer feedback...because they obviously don't invest anything on in-house quality assurance. If this is the best they can do they should really cut their prices. I've seen $7 discs that look better. From now on I guess we shouldn't assume that the DVD will look better than VHS. [Link] |
