Which DVD?
I've seen talk of the version included in the 4-Disc 1959 package as well as talk of the standalone DVD imported from Asia. Assuming they're the same prints, which has better quality?
shareYou might try checking DVD Beaver, which specializes in comparing different releases of movies: http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/dvdcompare/ben-hur.htm
(this box includes both the 1925 and 1959 versions)
Disclosure: I have NO link to / interest in DVD Beaver beyond reading it from time to time.
