Post by: bdc on 02 Jan 2011 - 12:49: I've ordered the two above,so will keep you updated Jonny. :D

According to their site they're dvd 9 and in an interview JÃ©rÃ´me Soulet (head of Gaumont's video department) states these are regular,professionally made dvd's but that these films have not had an extensive remastering/restoration.

No extras as well.
But Gaumont's plan is to release lots of unavailable titles like this.

Maybe the most popular titles could be released later remastered (according to JÃ©rÃ´me Soulet).

Price for these is 12-13 Euro.

Post by: bdc on 07 Jan 2011 - 20:12: Just watched some of Attack of the Robots and I would say it looks ok and it's definitely much better than my US tv-rip..

Gaumont warned us that the (digital I suppose) masters they used for these weren't that great and it shows.

It's actually mentioned on their site which ones have the better masters.

If you're a fan you need this though.

Btw the disc doesn't seem to be anamorphic so I had to zoom.

It's supposed to be a dvd 9,doesn't look like a dvd-r anyway.
