This DVD-R edition has been likely mastered from 16mm and/or 8mm reduction print.
The films are likely accompanied by soundtracks compiled from preexisting recordings.
We wouldn’t recommend this below-average disc but just a few of the films are available nowhere else on home video. Most of the films are available in better-looking editions elsewhere.
