Fifth Element Remastered - Blu-ray Forum

Palanthian · 07-06-2007, 02:21 AM

Considering the new version is going to be using the exact same case and such. How will I be able to tell the difference in buying the new one and the original version? Cause, if I'm not mistaken, some of the stores around here still carry the old version.

It should say 're-master' somewhere on the case, at least thats what Sony told me when I signed up for that replacement program. Also I think the stores will be sending their stock back as well for replacement.

I'm sure I read that they were pulling all the old ones upon release of the new one.

coolwavepic · 07-06-2007, 02:59 AM

I cant remember if Sony does this, but dont they list on the back which codec the movie has??

The old one was MPEG-2 and the new one is going to be AVC.

Palanthian · 07-06-2007, 03:01 AM

That's good. I was slightly worried about ending up with the blah version. :P

I haven't seen anything on any of my blu-ray discs where it lists anything about the codecs used.

gumpaholic · 07-06-2007, 03:10 AM

I don't know this or anything, but maybe the UPC number on the back will be a different number thyan the re-release. That's what they did with the Ultimate Superman Metal Box Set.

Nothing wrong with mpeg2

Nothing at all. The problem was with the master, not the encoding.

Also the remaster has Dolby TrueHD and the original did not.

That's the easiest one to look for - if it just has the PCM track, it's the old version.

Penton had posted the B&W pix of the back of the cover. Somebody else have posted a full color pic. So you can definitely see a difference.

MODS: I think this is worthy of being moved to the Fifth Element sticky thread.

I've not seen any reviews per se, but someone over on AVM$ posted a couple of screen shots, comparing the two editions. The remastered version looked *MUCH* better.
