Superior Screen Quality,
I just purchased the new DVDs and could not be happier. I prefer them much better than the older 2004-2005 versions which I also own. Anyone who claims the video quality of the 2010 DVD-Rs vs the original 2004-2005 DVDs have provided no examples of this disparity. I have owned both and scene for scene the DVD-Rs appear superior to me based on the depth of the color. I think those who have reviewed to the contrary did not purchase the new DVD-Rs. They may be confusing the effect of compression when someone attempts to cram a 7 or 8 GB movie onto a 4.5 GB DVD-R. Compressed video on a DVD-R may be inferior. This is not the case as both the previous version and these new version come on 6 discs, there is no compression. As stated by Amazon, the video is the same quality and why wouldn’t it be. How would your DVD player tell the difference between digitized data on a DVD-R vs a DVD?
The big advantage of these new DVDs however is that they are offered in a 16X9 aspect ratio instead of the orginial 4X3 format. In other words the video fills the entire screen on a modern tv and do not have the black bars on the sides that the earlier versions have. So unless you own a square tv or are a Zim Zealot, save the $100 it would take to purchase the older DVDs or paying 10 to 12 X as much to get an extras disc and a DVD box (and a GIR doll) and purchse the new DVDs. If you are lucky enough to own the original boxed set (with the GIR doll) consider treating it as a collectible and purchase these new discs for the better aspect ratio, which will appeal to a much wider audience.

|really happy just wish there was more,
I’ve been wanting to own invader zim for a long time, but the old dvd set is REALLY expensive, so I was really happy when it was released again. I just wish they also had special features, but it is just the episodes.
Oh well, the quality is great.
