Transporter 3: Video Issues (Color)

[rileyparrish]

I have tried two discs now and they both have the same problem. Whenever there is a mid-light or darker scene with lots of color you can see waves. It's hard to explain but you can see the color moving. For example, paint on a wall you can see the color moving and its very distracting. In the daylight scenes its not noticeable, and the PQ is stunning throughout but has anyone else noticed this? It can't be my setup because every other movie to date has looked great and not had this problem. I tried playing with saturation settings and that didn't change anything. Any ideas? Thanks.

I haven't had any PQ problems but... I noticed that the rear audio is backwards or flipped in the True HD mix.

I'm not sure whether it's my copy or if it's happened to anyone else. It's annoying because I had to swap the wires round to watch it properly.
All my other BD's are fine for this so I know it's not my setup.

Can you please give me a few examples. Pans or crashes or anything...I want to check it out.

Thanks

This movie is DTS-HD MA 7.1...not TrueHD

And IMO the audio was one of the best tracks on BD.

little off topic...but anyone notice in transporter 3...when transporter kicks the glass out of his car window...the next shot he is closing the door and the window is back? and then a couple shots later he is rolling the window up?

lol just something to watch for.

Yeah the window just magically replaced itself...I noticed this right away as well.

First, the original question: It sounds like it's an issue with color banding and it's most likely your TV. You said you messed around with the saturation. Also try tweaking with the contrast/picture and turn down the sharpness on your set. In your sig it says you have a plasma and PDP's are usually better with color banding but if it's a crappy brand...

I noticed this too, but go back and watch it. After he kicks out the window, they have the car in a shop and there are people walking around. I'm guessing he took his car to the shop to get the window repaired ASAP. You know how picky he is about his clothes. Of course he's going to take care of his car.

sounds an awful lot like colorbanding. not much you can do with that except get a better tv.

Is this just such an insanely high quality movie that it happens? Like I said, in no other movie..and I've watch almost every blockbuster on BD in the last year, does this happen...odd.

My TV is a couple of years old and it's really easy to see color banding but I never saw any when watching Transporter 3. My guess is that your settings on your TV aren't calibrated and probably set too high.
