Pressing Notes

DiscoVision did quite well with the video transfer on Love Story. The contrast and brightness are well balanced, even in the few night scenes. There were no concerns by the wardrobe department in 1970 to watch what types of clothing their actors wore when it came to these films. While Ryan O'Neal dresses up quite nicely, the suite from Botany 500 didn't transfer well into video and create awful aliasing problems. The color is rather bland, but it appears to have been shot that way, rather than being a fault in this video representation. The audio is clean and clear, with only minor errors.

The replication period began in December 1978 and the last piece of software left the warehouse in February 1981. The discs are clean and nearly speckle free for the entire 100 minutes of the film. The review copy had some minor audio static on side 1, which is a fault of the individual disc and is not an indication of a mastering error.
