Okay, I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but it's the most appropriate one that I could find.
Viz has licensed the entire original Sailor Moon series (all 200 episodes, the three movies, and all of the specials) and will be releasing them in North America, complete with a brand-new, uniform, English dub.
First up will be a limited-edition collector's set for the hardcore Moonies. It'll be a Blu-ray/DVD combo (three discs each) of the first half of season 1 (23 episodes).
I'm assuming all of the discs are single-sided and dual-layer.
23 episodes breaks down to 8, 8, and 7.
I have the "Saved by the Bell" DVD sets. On disc 1, they put 8 episodes. It's a dual-layer disc, and the episodes look compressed. It's pretty bad.
A single-sided, dual-layer DVD has a capacity of 7.95 GB. At 8 episodes, that works out to 993.75 MB per episode. That's roughly 10 MB more than what was allocated to a "Saved by the Bell" episode on a SS DL DVD that contained 8 episodes (most of which were syndication masters that ran 22:17).
Moving on to Blu-ray, a single-sided, dual-layer Blu-ray has a capacity of 50 GB. Full HD video has 6 times as many pixels as SD video ((1920x1080)/(720x480)), and, yes, a realize not the entire screen will be used for a '90s series. A SS DL BD is slightly bigger than 6 times a SS DL DVD, but I doubt those extra 2 GB are gonna help much.
SbtB has only one audio track, and it looks bad. The Sailor Moon episodes run longer, and there will be two audio tracks (possibly lossless on the Blu-rays?). Not sure if there will be any on-screen extras (maybe only on the last disc?). I'm concerned that both the DVDs and Blu-rays are gonna look bad. I'm worried about compression artifacts.
