Added The River Wild.

HD Goofnut · 02-01-2018, 07:44 PM

Updated Cross of Iron and American Psycho. It's a close call between the UK (15th) and new DE uncut disc on American Psycho.

HD Goofnut · 02-02-2018, 02:12 AM

Added The Arrival.

Got the UK one and was wondering if Koch new DE disc would top it. Had hoped for a newer master. UK seems to have a little bit more picture on all sides but DE has slight warmer colors. No need for me to exchange this time.

I have the UK disc as well and am happy with it. There's also some compression issues on the DE disc at the top and bottom of the image.

That F.I.S.T. listing is kinda strange. European versions are usually the longer, unedited versions with all the stuff they had to cut from the US version, right? But here they got a 15-minute cut version? Anyone know what that's all about?

No clue there my friend. All I know is that is has better colors and compression.

x5gb · 02-04-2018, 05:49 PM

The German Koch bluray of F.I.S.T also has the full version on the same disc, both individual files, not seamless branched. The gamma setting is correct on this unlike the US Kino Lorber disc.

Which one has best transfer, best cinematic audio, English subtitles, and all bonus features?

x5gb · 02-04-2018, 06:00 PM

As you can see from the bdinfo the sound has a higher bitrate seems superior on the US. How that compares in motion I don't know.

Not sure on audio. I would give a slight edge to the UK disc for PQ.

Higher bitrate doesn't always mean best but it's ideal sometimes. For video it's the transfer with adherence to source and for audio it doesn't need to sound a shit. Main reason I care more about monoaural or stereo OG cinematic mixes compared to 5.1 remixes. More than likely I'm getting the UK 15th Anniversary release eventually from Amazon UK.

However, the US disc has better compression and colors on the US theatrical cut.

Even though it's a BD25 and in my "Owned 2" section of my collection. Kino is overpriced as it is for their BD25 releases.

Yeah, in those you're right. I think it's safe to amend the entry.
