Prospero's Books (2010) ISO

This is the 2010 release that was remastered from the same materials that horrible 2003 release was made from, and is the best digital copy I've ever seen and heard ... plus all of the books are chaptered.

Definitely not DVD quality. Ratio is off, and picture quality is not so good.

While I deeply appreciate the upload and the effort behind it, I generally agree with 'totsubo'.
Also available is the 1991 version found at :
A visual comparison between this version, and the 1991 (1.9GB) version: http://i.imgur.com/3UISsTq.png
I find the 1991 version superior in several ways.
======= 1991 version =======
PROS:
1) Much better detail in each frame
2) Correct aspect ratio (it is 'widescreen')
3) Subtitles in 4 languages
4) Smaller file (but still gives more detail (sharp), and gives you the entire picture (not cropped))
CONS:
1) Chapters are not marked
2) Somewhat higher contrast (but this can be adjusted pretty well in most players)
======= 2004 version =======
PROS:
1) Chapters are marked (so you can jump around)
2) Warmer color tones and lower contrast might be more pleasant to some (but that is a matter of taste/preference, and some of this can be adjusted in your player if using something like VLC, for example)
CONS:
1) Loss of detail
2) Cropped to "old style" non-widescreen ratio (the picture is basically 'square' more or less)
3) No captions/subtitles
4) Large file
Conclusion: I much prefer the 1991 version, but you can see the samples linked above, and decide for yourselves. Again, I appreciate the effort and the upload, I just wanted to provide some insight into the differences, so that some folks might be able to avoid 'double-downloading' just to compare these two versions.
