QUOTE(aiman04 @ Mar 21 2010, 11:31 AM) You should already know that. All Dolby TrueHD tracks include a Dolby Digital 640Kbps embedded, it's been this way since the codec ever used on BD. This is also the same with DTS-HD Master Audio that has a core track of DTS 1.5Mbps. Oh, is that right? Didn't know this til I watched this flick thru my friend's DD receiver... |

QUOTE(ianho @ Mar 24 2010, 02:01 AM) Phuiyoh! Just bought Transformers 2 IMAX edition, came home n watched it immediately. The parts where it goes full screen is da awesome. How I wish whole show was like that. In fact, I wish all BluRay is like that. Hehehe Just curious... do you mean "the parts where it goes full screen is da awesome" as in:1. 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 ratio that fits 16:9 tv in general or 2. the jawdropping clarity of IMAX full screen as seen partially in TF:RoTF & The Dark Knight?  |

QUOTE(Coconut @ Mar 26 2010, 12:23 PM) is there any quality differences in terms of the bluray from amazon UK and US? No significant difference as far as technical features (or quality like you mentioned)... but having said that, there are some cases like the audio issues of Transformers (UK) became softer as compared to the US version; if not mistaken... or was it Iron Man? Can't remember.... Oh ya, menu design also may differ between the 2 region releases was looking at the dark knight, price difference is quite huge between this 2 sites, then i compare, one is Aspect Ratio: 16:9 - 1.78:1 vs Aspect Ratio: 2.40:1, is this why the difference in price?  For me, the apparent differences are more on the physical side of it like its packaging; eg. the nipple logo on the cover and/or the thicker plastic casing etc Dark Knight got 2 different aspect ratio releases? I thought both aspect ratios switching back n forth in one movie release (US & UK)? |

QUOTE(andy_lhc @ Mar 26 2010, 01:34 PM) Lord Of The Rings Theatrical Version BD review Wah, that was surprising....

Amazon US/UK info.: .......................................US Version........................................UK Version 1. Toy Story 1......................80 mins..........................................78 mins 2. Toy Story 2......................95 mins..........................................89 mins www.blu-ray.com info.: .......................................US Version........................................UK Version 1. Toy Story 1......................81 mins..........................................81 mins 2. Toy Story 2......................92 mins..........................................92 mins bluray.highdefdigest.com info.: .......................................US Version 1. Toy Story 1......................91 mins 2. Toy Story 2......................92 mins I think www.blu-ray.com give the most accurate info. since there should not be any different between US and UK version except packaging since distributor for both country is Disney. Whereas, for Amazon's info., well their always make mistake.  And for bluray.highdefdigest.com, I think there is typo error for Toy Story 1's runtime.

QUOTE(dirtrun @ Mar 26 2010, 04:12 PM) Tat bad ah.. I was disappointed because Godzilla looked awful for a big-budget film... no effort was taken in producing this film into blu-ray. It is unsharped, blurry, muddled and showered with grain! Roland Emmerich's flicks always look pristine on blu-ray, see UniSol, The Patriot, The Day After Tomorrow or 2012... how good & almost-reference disc these are! So I was puzzled with GodzillaMus b all de dark/nite scenes not being done rite.. I'd blame Sony for the poor transfer, they should've done better.... not that I matter much about this movie anyway, haha...  |

QUOTE(mikapoh @ Mar 26 2010, 10:55 PM) The SQ is what matters da most in this movie. For me, it'll be the opposite. If the audio is so-so, but the video is tip-top... I still rate it high.My scenario: if I listen to a moderate or so-so movie audio track without watching the video, I can still be impressed with the sound... but if i just watch the video without sound, I can tell straight away whether the transfer is good, moderate or bad! I must've been living in my own world I think, haha.... |

QUOTE(robinlim @ Mar 26 2010, 11:35 PM) For me, the movie is a bit boring, no climax at all Yup, we're all living in our own Pandora but if u like to see 'leng chai robert' or 'leng lui kristen' with fine details, than it's worth collection considering the PQ is good AQ wise is good also especially during the werewolves fighting scene Added on March 26, 2010, 11:40 pm each individual has their own preference on whether PQ>AQ or AQ>PQ or PQ=AQ so in the end, we are living in our own world QUOTE(low98944 @ Mar 26 2010, 11:42 PM) Just finished watching "Drag me to Hell". Not a bad scary movie Agreed. This is one hell of a scary and yet funny movie at the same time.... scored high on my 'dark humour horror' movie!! especially watch it at night, in the complete dark room and alone...   QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Mar 27 2010, 12:40 AM) Just finished watching 'Ghost Rider'. The following is what i feel about the disc & film. A 5 star PQ & AQ... all deficiencies are forgiven! This movie was presented in 2.40:1 widescreen 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 transfer , does not disappoint. The film has a vivid, striking visual look, with rich blacks and no print issues. Fluctuating grain levels can be distracting, though a minor problem which only pops up a few times during the film. Overall detail to the image is also truly excellent Film was presented in dual uncompressed PCM 5.1 surround (48kHz/16-bit/4.6mbps) and Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround (48kHz/20-bit) mixes. The reproduction was flawless, with no distortion or other common problems. It's only too bad that the script to the film wasn't as impressive as the audio that accompanies it. This disc has some solid extras, all of which are presented in 1080p, which is a big plus. A bad comic flick but technically awesome disc with reasonable goodies. |

QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Mar 27 2010, 09:18 PM) Well, if they are based on dvd, does that mean they actually resemble in terms of region code? DVD region code is usually labelled with numbers; eg - Region 1 (US, Canada), Region 2 (Europe, Japan, etc), Region 3 (SEA) etc etc... til Region 6 (but there's actually 8 regions in total)Blu-ray region code however, labelled with alphabets; eg - Region A (US, SEA, etc), Region B (Europe, Australia, NZ, etc) & Region C (Central Asia, China, E. Europe, etc)... or even Region ABC (multi-region) Amazon's labelling of region codes on their products are either them being lazy or have no knowledge of it...  |

QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Apr 1 2010, 10:22 AM) Watched Transporter 3 this morning before Arsenal v Barcelona ,the film was good! A lot of action! Agreed! TP3 rocks.... so did the first two. Jason was believable as a martial artist. Overall, a great action low-budget film... I particularly like Robert Knepper, he's on my top 5 actor who plays villain!! Though this movie is not as good as first 2 Transporter movie but has acceptable transfer. PQ: Amazing video! Max High Def AQ: The Audio is awesome! DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1, is a great audio track for the movie that is loud.. |

QUOTE(robinlim @ Apr 1 2010, 11:28 AM) You've already made the point there For me if the release is a total 'bare-bones' but with exceptionally good technical features (ie PQ & AQ), I'd probably consider if the price is right... but this release came with dissapointing transfer, so a total no-no for me... unless I got it for free Unpreferred version mah, less demand so have to include something to push the sales lor btw, looking at the poor review don't know want to cancel my order or not I'm surprised that a movie with this stature and huge fan-based; can release such below-par quality. Even if it's meant for a movie-only release, QC la sikit.... |
