Dead Set - Uncut? - Blu-ray Forum

Nocturnaloner · 06-12-2014, 04:54 AM

I just want to make sure that there are no cuts to this "unedited" blu ray of Dead Set: http://www.amazon.de/Dead-Set-UngekÃ.../dp/B008DQM8N0

Can anyone confirm?

Can we agree that whoever created that cover art deserves full zombie mob body part separation?

It is uncut but lacks the "Play all" function of the UK DVD. You have to start each episode via main menu.

Thanks for that! The Spanish blu ray seems to be very hard to come by, so the German disc is my next best bet.

Is the German version also 1080i like the original Spanish release?

Wait a minute...you mean this post isn't about the classic Grateful Dead live album of the same name?

No forced subtitles. Extras are a few interviews, making-of-featurettes and deleted scenes.

The 2016 digibook re-release has the same but offers the option to view all episdodes as one feature film on a separate disc.

German BD vs UK DVD

I finally got this in the other day and was curious to see if there was much of an upgrade so popped the DVD and then the BD into my PC.
I took a few comparison shots from the first episode. There's definitely an upgrade. How much depends on what camera was used (BB house cams vs main rig I imagine). See the comparisons here. Both captured via Potplayer, which I've found more accurate than say VLC. DVD pics were upscaled via XnView.

A cropped sample:

It's 1080i/50 (and looking at it's listing B locked) so most US players will refuse to play it, but that likely would have been the original framerate (shame the BD spec didn't include 1080p/25). The picture seems less vertically stretched vs DVD and while it has no English subtitles, due to framerate you could sync up an srt of the UK DVD subtitles.
