Got my copy of The Thing Hd-dvd from a website a while back for $0.75 with a few dollar shipping, best investment ever.
-
-
i accidentally won two bids so i ended up with a US and a UK copy of it lol, as well as already having my blu-ray
-
thats actually a p good idea seeing as how all of the hd-dvd stuff will probably be dirt cheap
any other films that have a better hd-dvd than bluray
-
army of darkness i think.
-
Peter Jacksons King Kong.
-
I wonder if the predator HD-DVD looks better then the blu ray.
I mean look at that shit.
-
DNR is the cancer of video.
-
what are you talking about, barbie doll arnold looks great.I wonder if the predator HD-DVD looks better then the blu ray.
I mean look at that shit.
-
He's very close to looking like an anime
-
It will be the same as the orignal blu-ray, if not worse. The original blu-ray was on a 25gb disc and suffered from a low bitrate and mpeg2, meaning scenes with fast movement were noticeably artifacted.I wonder if the predator HD-DVD looks better then the blu ray.
I mean look at that shit.
since hd-dvd's are even smaller than 25gb, it will most likely be worse. the only saving grace about the new transfer was that it was on a 50gb blu-ray and a much higher bitrate.
Edited:
more like oil painting of wax figure
if you think that's bad, take a look at oil painting wax figure airbrushed moustache carl weathers
original blu

as much as I don't like noise and grain and can't wait till the day movies are just like looking through a window, that's horrible
-
i like (NATURAL) noise and grain
-
Another one I own on HD and not blu-ray, and I think it looks amazing!
-
I prefer it not being there but if it is I'd rather they didn't cover it in DNR.
-
I recently boguht I blu ray player, well earlier today for £40 damn good price for one too.
-
Well as rusty said, natural grain looks pretty good, like in Fight Club for example. But i do prefere it's not there like every new film.
-
I recently bought Contagion on Blu-ray.
Not happy with the ultraviolet bullshit but the film does look more cleaned up overall.
-
what do you mean ultraviolet shit and 'more cleaned up'
-
DVDs were the same with noise and grain - they could be hit/miss. I watched Bronson on the UK DVD last night and was fairly impressed with the way it looked. Fantastic natural grain transferred well.
-
it's usually because most dvd masters are scrubbed of grain before they're compressed to such a small resolution. that's why a fair few people complained about grain in blu-rays stating 'there's no grain on most dvd's why is there grain here that's unacceptable'
made me sick
either that, or at such a small resolution the grain becomes too fine to see.

I think he means this:

Just watched my first bluray on my own TV (always watched it downstairs on the big TV) and damn, I wonder why I haven't got a lot of blurays. Trying to start a collection now by buying atleast 1 bluray per month. Any recommendations ? (I haven'T watched a lot of movies either so just suggest me some good ones!)
-
Do like me and get every movie you consider really good. Then on occasions get some reference movies just for the look and sound, like Avatar, Transformers movies and such.
-
Go to www.blu-ray.com and see if any of your favourite movies are worth re-buying.
-
Thanks guys.
www.blu-ray.com is really great, just found out that Fight Club has got two versions over here and the first one had very bad picture quality. Going to buy the second version next week as my first Bluray of this year.
-
yeah the german fight club is awful. even the hdtv rips are better
-
Yeah, I saw screenshots of the first one, bought the remastered (second version) now, gonna report back on the quality soon.
Bought these three today. Haven't watched kick-ass and Fight Club before and Shaun of the Dead is just so great that I just had to rebuy it on blu-ray.
-
the fight club blu-ray is fantastic
-
And it's an awesome movie too!the fight club blu-ray is fantastic
-
Yeah, I watched fight club a few minutes ago. It's fantastic in terms of everything, movie itself, the audio, the video. Damn happy I bought it.
-
Yeah me too, i think it was the second bluray i bought.
-
Getting Drive tomorrow. Haven't seen it yet.
-
Godzilla Blu-ray is coming out tomorrow from the Criterion Collection.
Of course I'll be getting it.
-
Tomorrow i'm getting the Millenium Trilogy and Deer Hunter, i haven't actually seen that movie yet so i'm looking forward to it!
-
-
Amazon is having a sale now
Lots of good titles under $10
-
I work at Sony where we package most of the blurays in the US and the godzilla case is pretty damn cool.
-
Sooo I tried skimming through the thread to find an answer, but didn't find a definitive one. I understand the reasonings for reissuing a Bluray; what I want to know is when this generally started happening. And is it caused by consumer uproar, or general desire to master a movie as best as possible?
Also, how exactly do you tell if a Bluray has been re released.....err actually I'm gonna kinda assume I should just google it, but still, how do you tell?
-
www.blu-ray.com is usually a good resource
-
Is there a easy way im not seeing to add your blurays on bluray.com? I dont wanna click on individual one on all the movies.
