This DVD edition of the Biograph one-reeler The Mender of Nets (1912), directed by D.W. Griffith, looks as though it has been mastered from an older video transfer, probably those utilized for the 1990 Image laserdisc The Griffith Biographs. The appearance of the films on DVD (both being slightly soft of image detail and a little flat, with greyish highlights) is virtually identical to the laserdisc.
