I still think the UK disc looks better. They have better compression and colors.

I'm in total agreement, it's just funny to see all the bickering going on

The funniest part is that most of the people arguing don't even have a BD PC drive or know how to take screen captures in the first place.

I can do both! But mine's an ASUS Blu-ray disc burner and I use PowerDVD 15, 16, and I don't have 17 yet. Used to use TotalMedia Theatre 6 to watch BDs, no idea why it's still installed on my PC. Also using AnyDVD HD to remove Region coding restrictions too. No need for a multi-region player.
It's because of this thread and many other sites I'm fully able to make my collection shine. As long as a specific title is still in print and a price I'd prefer to import at. Too many I want to buy and spread around too many sites. Patience is a virtue for being 100% region free.
(Especially when purposefully wanting to buy multiple releases of the same title. Easier when it's a flat-out definitive release.)

This thread is awesome, HD Goofnut!

HD, I thought the UK Uncle Buck used to be marked Best AQ. Am I wrong or did something change?

The USA release has the 2.0 track as DTS lossy whilst the UK/AU/DE releases have the same 2.0 track but as DTS-HD Master Audio lossless. So yes, the lossless track wins for Best AQ and always should, when comparing exact tracks. Lossless 1.0 wins over lossy 1.0, Lossless 4.0 wins over the lossy, etc.
Now, if it's an unecessary 5.1 remix and the OG cinema mix was 1.0 or 2.0 yet all were lossless/uncompressed on the disc, the OG cinema mix in lossless/uncompressed wins by default. NOT the 5.1 remix as some are led to believe. They are wrong. Yet if the film has both a 5.1 mix and the stereo or mono mix, as all tracks were present in cinemas, all would be correct if it featured them all as lossless/uncompressed. No downconversions since that goes against its score.
It's what I factor when I import.

Fixed.

I guess, the entry for "The Hindenburg" (1975) in the list needs updating. There is currently N/A for a US release in the list, but there is now a US edition out there as well:
https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-H.../93788/#Review

I don't know if this US release is better than the German one, though.

casspir · 06-20-2017, 10:15 PM

It seems that the German release has a higher video bitrate than the US one.
According to BRDC:
US release: 22.00 Mbps, audio: 16 bit (?)
UK release: 23.83 Mbps, audio: 24 bit

The German release (https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-L...lu-ray/103782/) has the following specs (from a BDInfo scan report, I have the disc):
Video:
MPEG-4 AVC Video 27989 kbps 1080p / 24 fps / 16:9 / High Profile 4.1

Audio:
DTS-HD Master Audio English 4116 kbps 5.1 / 48 kHz / 4116 kbps / 24-bit (DTS Core: 5.1 / 48 kHz / 1509 kbps / 24-bit)

Subs:
No English subs.

Based on the above, does it qualify for the list?
