This video compares LaserDisc, DVD, and Blu-ray releases of Ben Hur (1959) from 1983 to 2011. The initial LaserDisc releases featured slightly squeezed images, which I have left distorted in this comparison.

This has been mastered directly from the 1990 LaserDisc release, not from VHS like most of the other copies floating around the internet. I authored the 13-part series onto 4 dual-layer DVDs and one dual-layer Blu-ray (all 11 hours and 20 minutes encoded as standard definition but in the H.264 codec with a max bit rate of 12mbps, higher than possible on DVD).")
