Audio/Video Quality: Like most Vivid compilations, the picture quality varied a bit more than I'd prefer but it was still presented in the usual 1.33:1 ratio full frame. The color was a bit off in several scenes too with the dvd transfer not the best Vivid has made of late. The audio was in stereo English and a bit hollow at times. I did notice that there tended to be a layer switch at Chapter 6 of Title 1 that sometimes froze the picture and rendered the disc unplayable unless I started it over from the beginning too.

Body of Review: Having as big a fan base as Briana Banks is probably one of the reasons Vivid offered her a contract and as her body of work for them grows, so too will the number of compilations made featuring her. Having just watched several of her features, and another compilation centering on Briana, I came to the conclusion that Vivid might do well to ease up a bit on the compilations unless they're prepared to offer new scenes along with the old. In Young Briana Banks, there were 10 scenes from her various recent Vivid features including, but not limited to, Bankable, Where The Boys Aren't
15, and Shape Of Sin.

To be fair, if you haven't bought a lot of Briana's Vivid features, you might do well to buy a single compilation of hers-buying more than one will likely see you turning red as the scenes are re-used a lot in them. In all, some of these scenes were very good although they all used condoms and there wasn't a lot of extreme sex. Without wasting a lot of your time, if you like the look of Briana on the cover of the dvd case, and can accept the limitations they represent (we're not talking about Red Light District releases, if you know what I mean), you can consider this one as a strong Rental. If you've seen Hollywood Orgies: Briana Banks, consider this one nearly as good.
