| sir wankalot Member UK 904 Posts 5/03 |  Posted - Jun 4 2004 : 11:20AMI've noticed some of the older Rocco titles (Rocco ravishes Prague, When Rocco meats Kelly 2, Rocco's Intiations 4) have a grainy picture. As i recall it was the same with the videos. Why is this? Also Vivid discs are so annoying. I have some freebies from Fivestar that have literally about 10 minutes of advertising junk at the beginning that you can't fast forward or skip!!! If they were any good i would probably take the time to rip and burn them and get rid of the crap!  [Link] |

A lot of the picture quality was a problem of transfering it from a PAL/SECAM to the NTSC format. I think the newer stuff no longer has to be transferred between different formats and the quality and sharpness is better. DenverDon  [Link] |

| sir wankalot Member UK 904 Posts 5/03 | Posted - Jun 4 2004 : 2:07PM Thats is quite a technical discussion! All i would add is that i use to own some bootleg PAL Rocco videos and i always put the grainy picture and washed out colours down to them being copies. Now i have seen the original DVDs i realise they are identical in quality. This was before the days of commercial dvd-r so these copies would have been taken from vhs. These copies came from a Dutch company so were almost certainly Pal in origin. [Link] |
