BTTF Picture transfer.......
I`m amazed that all you out there that have got your BTTF discs haven`t mentioned the fact that the video transfers are really disappointing.
I mean, they`re fine but for a release of this magnitude I was really disappointed. Universal have had years to get them perfect.
Bob Gale assured us months ago that they looked fabulous but the picture on all of the three films is undeniably grainy.
Still, for £18 I can`t complain too much. That`ll hold me over until the R2 release in December where hopefully the transfers will be much better.
The picture looked great on my t.v. No complaints on the soundfront either ...........nice dts soundtrack!!!
RE: BTTF Picture transfer.......
I`ll be playing it on a different player later tonight but don`t think it`ll be any better.
They`re good but not great.
I`ve had a browse around the net for people`s opinions but everyone seems to be raving about them. Maybe its just me; maybe it is my Dad`s player I played them on last night.
I hope so as I have waited for so long for them to come out as they`re amongst my favourite films.
I`ve watched them on a Sony 700 and thought the film and audio where first class concidering the age of the films!!

Ditto, comparing the transfer of other films from that time. (Ghostbusters was one year earlier, and the transfer there is abysmal compared to BTTF) I really cannot fault the films themselves. To take an example, the scene in Back1 where Doc is showing Marty his mock-up of the town (not to scale....) I could swear that the print was less than a year old.

I had no problems at all with the picture - superb transfer. What dvd player do you have?
great pic here too, even when blown up big on a projector
Agree with the general opinion - the picture transfer is great.
Maybe you have sharpness set too high on your TV, although it still shouldn`t appear grainy.
