However, the sound is not just bad, it is like listening to a cheap transistor radio--totally tinny and with zero stereo separation, as shown on my spectrum analyzer, even though the disk is billed as having two channel digital sound. (This is a problem with the DVD standard: You can record a telephone call onto a DVD, and if you use two channels to do it, you can claim two-channel digital sound.) The picture is not just bad, in many places we're left looking through a dim red fog at a bunch of unidentifiable dancing figures. It is bad, really bad. The worst I've ever seen on a on a commercial video in any format. Instead of an honest, straight forward interview with Aykroyd, we're given a way-overproduced "mockumentary," within which we are asked to separate the real from the imaginary. The only honesty surrounding this disk, as limited as it is, comes in the disclaimer in 4 point type at the bottom of the back cover: "There may be some slight visual variances due to the state of the original master."--The understatement of the century.  Comment | Permalink |  function showYesNoCommunityResponse(uId,result,value) { var msgLayer = getElement("thanks" + uId); if ( result == "SUCCESS" ) { msgLayer.innerHTML = "Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided to other Amazon.com readers and reviewers.
