How is Alliance's releases of both District 13 movies? Is the doule feature two discs also?

I was also wondering this as well as on this as well as:

I am a bit confused, maybe someone can clarify this for me, but on the back of the packaging I saw today, it said Ultimatum was only 1080i. Not 1080p. Where as B13 was 1080p. Was this a mistype? Can someone confirm this? From reviews I have read on the Magnolia US release they are both 1080p. So did Alliance screw up this release?

They also state that only the French Language tracks are Lossless DTS-HD. The English is only Lossy Dolby 5.1.

Is this all correct?

Both are French films, so I'd expect the French tracks to be HD audio... Dubbed is always crap!

These Alliance double features typically have both films on a single disc without extras. So naturally, the transfers aren't always the hottest things around. The 1080i thing may not be a typo, since the transfer may be an HDTV file/transfer put on disc.

Agreed regarding the dubbing. Plan to watch in French DTS-HD glory, with english subtitles of course.

But the 1080i does have me a bit worried. I picked it up anyway, because for $12 using trade and save at FS it's a pretty good deal for these 2 films. Which I have heard good things about. Especially the first. Which is 1080p thank goodness.

Anyway, if anyone who bought this set could chime in. I would appreciate it, before I open the set and become disappointed.
