Let's hope Genius will do a good job because I have not had any luck with their dollar discs.


I've never seen a Genius dollar disc, but it's a safe bet that a DVD made to sell for $1 is not going to be top quality.

Also, I hope someone will someday work on cleaning up the original Godzilla transfers.


I'd love to see Toho do that someday soon.

I too have a Simitar copy of the US Raymond Burr version which looks better than the Classic Media one.


That's interesting because both were sourced from the same material--UPA provided the materials Simitar used in 1998, and Classic Media now owns UPA's film library. The picture is identical with the same specks, etc present on both DVDs because it's the same copy of the movie... but the Simitar disc was transferred at a lower bit rate and has quite a bit of artifacting that is not present on the Classic Media DVD.
