I don't know why they didn't do the special editions in the full resolution of the negatives? They could have then just compressed it to fit a dvd then as home video mediums come and go gradually make each release less compressed. It would have saved work and MADE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAPPY. George is supposed to be some genius a true pioneer of film quality yet he thinks DVD is as good as video will ever get. or as gary kurtz explained George's attitude towards film "Good Enough" GEORGE THIS ISN'T A FIFTH GRADE SCIENCE PROJECT. It is something many people enjoy. Hell, we built you ranch show some courtesy and give us a high quality version of those wonderful films that made you a household name instead of "that guy who directed American Graffiti"
