Hi all, I'm not sure if it's legal to bring up this topic. Is there a big difference between original Bluray vs BDR (ahem) for someone who is not a videophile? Lately a lot of places we can source for BDR as compare to 1-2 years back. Don't get me wrong I do buy original Bluray but usually for classic titles such as Saving Private Ryan or LOTR. But lately since it's easier (not to mention cheaper) to buy BDR, I've been stocking up on some titles.

The question here is, is there a huge difference in terms of video/audio? I've got a few titles to compare and to be honest I'm quite happy with the quality of the BDR. I know an original Bluray has a bigger capacity (up to 50G dual layer) as compare to a BDR (25G or 50G), therefor the quality is compromised. Maybe there's a difference for full hd tv as compare to HD ready? Even the audio for BDR we still get HD audio since my Yamaha amp could still detect Dolby True HD & DTS HD Master Audio.

I've even tested the 3d titles (50G BDR) which comes with 2 versions (2d & 3d) of the film. As ever I'm quite impress with the 3d effect. However for some older titles such as Jurrassic Park I notice a lot of grainy pictures during night scenes, perhaps due to the limitation of BDR capacity? What do you guys think?

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not in any way promoting BDR (ahem) over original Bluray. Just wanna see what would be the response for this topic. Feel free to share fellas! icon_rolleyes.gif

the "grainy" is in the content itself the film, and has nothing to do with the disc capacity.

Re-compression doesn't produce grains, in fact it reduces them.

So u mean if we could re-compress a few more cycles the grainy part will be reduce?

Yes, but lose details as well, its a process to shrink the file size.
