Bump.
Any news on a North American release?

It sounds like Warner did a new 4k scan of the 229 min version and the restorers cut in 22 min of very rough looking deleted scenes. The Italian BD sounds like a heavily compressed mess of a disc.

For me it's very sad, when film like this gets poor BR transfer. BR has 1080p resolution and Warner Bros is using DVD master for BR. As I can see, theres no need for 4K BR's, because these film companies dont even use BR resolution
![]() http://www.caps-a-holic.com/hd_vergl...ess=#vergleich This comparison tells everything. Well there is also extended version, on VC-1 encode. That one use proper master (scaned in 4K as it should be for BR) so film has good resolution and theres much more details... but unfortunately someone has decided to give it old appearance. Colors are almost washed out... http://www.caps-a-holic.com/hd_vergl...ess=#vergleich This comparison shows much more details on VC-1 (4K scaned) encode, but because they put 4h movie on one BD, compression is very noticable. So now anyone has to choose, poor resolution (theatrical AVC version), or good resolution (VC-1 version) but with washed out colors and compression artifiacts, not good at all ![]() Last edited by pawel86ck; 12-17-2013 at 10:27 PM. |

I bought the Italian one a couple of days ago. It does indeed have much finer detail, but the compression is awful and it's got a very flat, washed-out appearance. Not just the colour - which I accept may be intentional, to give it a sort of sepia-toned feel - but also the blacks, which are very thin indeed. The newly added scenes look even worse, with very little in the way of tonalities or detail, however that was to be expected given that they've come from less than optimal sources.
Still, my TV has a processing mode called reality creation, which does an outstanding job at filtering high-frequency noise while retaining detail, and it works brilliantly with the compression artefacts in this case. |

For what it's worth, I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting Once Upon a Time in America by way of the Blu-ray a few weeks ago. The picture quality is not consistent, because several scenes look stellar, while others look almost like standard definition quality. None of the scenes are unwatchable, though, and the film content alone makes this a good value for the price.

![]() Compression isnt good in VC-1 BR, but it's acceptable after proper tv setup. Because this BR use 4K scan, entire picture is very sharp without any additional sharpness. Now, almost everyone prefer to use additional sharpness on their tv to some extend, but something like that would make already sharp picture very noisy (compression artifacts will be 10x times more visible).

Is it true the Italian version colors are completely screwed up? I thought the U.S. version had the correct color (despite softer/older transfer).
