Blu-ray.com - watching "The General" on Blu-ray (Amazon.com:
http://xrl.us/GNRL ) is an absolute pleasure. As the first silent film
to make the jump to high definition in the United States, I�m sure a
lot of people are looking toward "The General" as a litmus test for
how well films from the �20s will perform on Blu-ray. Of course,
quality will inevitably vary due to print damage, etc., but I can say
that I was consistently impressed by the 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer of
"The General" that Kino International has delivered here, a transfer
sourced from a 35mm archive print of the original camera negative...
