OVERALL: Draw
Identical releases bar regional language variations.
General Note:
Because the Babylon 5 visual-effects shots were archived as 4:3 NTSC and the purely live-action shots were archived as High-Definition, there is a noticeable drop in quality whenever a shot containing CGI occurs (since the 4:3 NTSC image had to be blown up to fill and cropped to fill the 1.78:1 DVD). This drop in quality is much worse on PAL DVDs (were the shots had to be then transformed to PAL). -
CUTS:
- R1 The Complete Fifth Season America- Warner Home Video - No cuts
- R2 The Complete Fifth Season United Kingdom- Warner Home Video - No cuts (933:02 PAL)
- R4 The Complete Fifth Season Australia- Warner Home Video - No cuts (933:02 PAL)
