Was looking for Airport 1975 DVD and found 2 listings.

One contains just AIRPORT 1975

and the other contains AIRPORT, AIRPORT 1975, AIRPORT 1977
and CONCORDE AIRPORT 1979 on a 2 DVD set (Airport Terminal Pack).
Each AIRPORT film is on one layer of the disc.

Both are at almost the same price.

If anyone has seen these DVDs, is there a compromise on quality
(as the whole film is fitted on a singla layer) in
AIRPORT 1975 feature that I'm interested in ??

I've also read comments that AIRPORT 75 and/ or others in the series
has/ have faulty picture (stretched a la some Indian DVDs style).
May be that was corrected later on ??

Any info ??

Thanks.

Yet Another Botched DVD Release From Universal, Jul 12 2004
Reviewer: Todd Erwin "dvdrevue" (Newport Beach, CA USA)

What is up with Universal Home Video these days?

Airport 75 on this set is not properly framed, resulting in a stretched picture.

Let's see..........

E.T. was botched only because no one knew exactly what each edition actually contained.

Back To The Future had framing issues on films 2 and 3.

Monty Python's Meaning Of Life has all the progressive scan flags set in
the wrong position. This is a major blunder, and should have
been recalled, as it will affect those who later upgrade their DVD
and TV hardware.

Schindler's List should have been a 2-disc set, with audio options
as part of the menu on side 2.

I could go on and on....
