Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Original Series DVD's

Hello,
Did they use video master sources or transfers for teenage mutant ninja turtles original series of complete series set?

The consensus on the board is Lionsgate was extremely lazy and just digitized the old VHS tapes without any type of restoration, and it shows.

I know that the DVDs in the van are from the same sets that were previously issued, only with a set number on each disc!!
Personally, I find the mastering to be fine. I've watched these on the big screen via HD projector, a 42" TV and a computer screen...even the iPhone ( I watch these a lot :) )
I don't notice any color bleed, in fact the colors are bright and vibrant. There are sparklies going on, as they haven't been frame by frame cleaned up, but the framing remains stable throughout. And the sound is crisp.
All in all, I have no complaints with the release at all.
I'm watching the Mondo Gekko ep just now. Good stuff.

They were actually preserved fine over the years.

The problem with the quality in most of the early volumes (2 through 6) was simply for having far too many episodes on the discs, having 12-13 episodes on them and thus they lost a lot of quality. Then of course they rereleased Volumes 3-6 into a Season 3 set, yet changed none of the issues with the original volumes, so very frustrating. The later season releases they put out are better since they reduced the episodes per disc, but again with the Final Season then having 11 half hour episodes on one disc, the quality suffers per result again.

The DVDs were exactly the same as the individual season 3 releases. They just put them all in one case.

They just took it from the tapes straight to disc. I watch them all the time on my 40" HDTV and I have no problems. Good product.
