Your least favourite distributor - Blu-ray Forum

Who is yours, and why?

Mine is G2 Pictures. Most of their releases are shoddy when it comes to PQ, and they rarely have (decent) extras, and they never have subtitles included!

Lets get a discussion going on this.

yep G2

Although most of their releases have great transfers, I find the pop-up menus on 'Lionsgate' releases to be very irritating. They take several seconds to appear, particularly with releases such as Cop Land, Pulp Fiction and The Bank Job.

EIV lot of their early releases are awful.

Warner Brothers - for botching my copy of THX 1138 so I physically cannot watch it. So frustrating (I have tried the USB trick to no avail).

I'd probably say Warner Bros. Picture quality is often subpar.

My favourite is Disney but as of the last two years their quality has slipped dramatically.
Barebones releases
No disc art
No slipcovers
Tarzan Transfer **** up
Expensive compared to other countries
Hit and miss picture and sound quality

So far it's EIV just their cases are so bad. It was always like that even on VHS and DVD. There there's no extras or less extras compared to the US release.

I also don't like releases without a menu as well

For me it's got to be Fox, especially after the Star Wars and Goldeneye releases...

Optimum Releasing and Universal....

Universal, it goes without saying, their record on catalogue releases has been, to put it mildly, a mixed bag all round.
