Worst picture quality on DVD?
What's the worst transfer/picture quality you've seen on DVD? I was in Suncoast tonight and took advantage of their two $14.99 DVD's for $20.00 special and picked up several older titles for my library. Among them was "Uncle Buck". Which is the worst picture quality I've ever seen on any DVD. The film was so grainy and even out of focus in spots. Thumbs way down Universal!

Didn't the CE for Scarface hold the record for that? Or was it Highlander?

Ground Zero/NS Video's Shaw Brother's kung fu flicks. Awful, worst I have EVER seen!
I secomd the Last Man on Earth, I would love to see a restored version of that, such a great movie.

Of the thousands of DVDs I have seen and owned, nothing has ever approached the horrific quality of UAV's release of the original Invaders From Mars. Besides a wretched transfer of an awful print, the image actually has different contrast levels on each half of the screen throughout the film. The film was shot in color, but there are times you'd swear it's in B&W on this DVD.

over a dozen posts and no mention of the original Highlader release. Tsk. Tsk. Slipping. This has always been considered the worst transfer ever. For as long as I have been on this forum anyway.
