BitWel Seven Days and Voice

[demers_60]

Can someone here tell me about the PQ of these two blus? I really want to add them to my collection but have heard that some bitwel blus are not very good quality. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

These are both SD upconverts. I posted a review for both.

Seven Days

Voice

the voice dvd is totally unwatchwable, so i think the voice blu-ray should be much worse than voice dvd. i would like to study the dvd upconverting, it would be very nice if you can post voice blu-ray screenshots. it's very hard to find out dvd vs blu-ray screenshots to do video quality comparison.

Why do you say that? I have the Korean disc, and it looks fine.

it looks fine? are you kidding? you should be able to see lots of smoke effect everywhere. the special effect applied, then the fading color effect combined with the special effect, the scenes looks terrible. you should be able to capture some screenshots to prove that.

the scences with the two girls faced each other, the color turn to brown, the background color turn to brown, smoke effect everywhere, with those scences, we can easily find out how dvd upconverting should be much worse than original dvd.

Thanks for all your replies. This sucks, though since I really wanted both these movies.

Huh?

Maybe some screencaps would help. I popped it in, and thought it looked fine. Most of the film has a sepia tone to it, and there are some grainy shots, but that's obviously all intentional. I didn't see anything wrong with the encoding, much less anything that looked "terrible."

If anyone here is really disappointed with their copies of either of these movies, I'll be glad to take it off your hands for a decent price.

I'd rather have them in blu. Regardless of video quality.

Here,
Are you using the Cinema Service DVD? I watched it again last night (thanks to this thread ) and, again, didn't see anything wrong with the transfer.

I look forward to your screencaps. Perhaps they can show me visually what you're talking about.

[demers_60]

I guess I'll pass on these titles for now, then. Unless I can get them at a cheap price. I will be getting "Invitation Only" cause that actually got better reviews as far as PQ. Now if anyone can tell me please, are Wolf Creek and Turistas also bitwel releases? Does anyone have any reviews on those? They are on ebay for about $18 each. Worth the price? Thanks again everyone.

[xradman]

I have Turistas. It's real highdef and I thought it was pretty good. Why get it from eBay? I got it from JSDVD for ~$8 including shipping (with around 10 others).

$20.59 is just for the Blu-rays. JSDVD will send you a separate invoice once everything is ready to ship for shipping charge. It won't be much (~$10 or so).

Still a great deal either way. I would have paid lots more on ebay. so thanks anyway.
