I just thought that I'd bump this up since the DVD was just released. I highly recommend it. The transfer (though not quite as good as "Vertigo") is very good (and anamorphic, if you care about that). Lots of extras, the best among them being a lengthy and quite interesting documentary on the film and Tippi Hedren's screen tests.

watched it tonite. pretty clean transfer for a flick released in 1963. mono sound but it still sounded pretty good. lots of extras although i did not get a chance to watch them yet. i thought that it might be cheesy since i have not seen The Birds since i was a kid but i was honestly blown away at how realistic most of the effects still looked. definitely let your kid watch it to freak him out.

Got my copy, but haven't had a chance to watch it. I was somewhat suprised though that www.thebigpicture.com was rather critical of the transfer, guess I'll know if they are right when I pop it in.

A fantastic disc of a fantastic film. Was waiting for this for two years. The print has flaws but the transfer is wonderful. If you love the film don't give it a second thought.
