I have noticed at amazon that more and more vintage, but public domain dvds, are appearing on off labels and possibly on dvd-rs. Does anybody own any of the following titles, and how would you rate the remastering quality?
Of Human Bondage -(1934) Createspace Label
Penny Serenade -Digicomtv
Topper/Topper Returns - Triad
The Count of Monte Cristo (1934) - Henstooth Video (release date, Feb 2012?)

Re: Vintage films on off-label dvds
According to the Classic Flix announcement, the forthcoming Henstooth The Count of Monte Cristo (1934) and The Man in the Iron Mask (1939)
There is a recent Amazon "review" for each film (perhaps by someone at Henstooth?) also mentioning they are from 35mm fine grains.are officially licensed releases and both have new transfers from fine grain elements as well as English subtitles.
Re: Vintage films on off-label dvds
Hen's Tooth Video is a quality company. They have released two of the late Powell & Pressburger collaborations Ill Met By Moonlight and Battle of the River Plate, both of which have have very good quality transfers. They have also released a nice edition of Sam Peckinpah's Cross of Iron.
