After being at the right place at the right time, I gave a look at EBGames friday night before they closed and luckily they had one.
I get home and hook it all up to my TV, audio, etc. Popped in X-Men 3 before anything else, booted up pretty quick, had some great picture quality!! Then I wanted to try one of the earlier BD movies released like Italian Job and the Punisher and noticed a lot of grain ![]() Also, has anyone had any problems with Gone in 60 seconds? (shows POTC in previews in HD)While watching it last night, my PS3 froze around the middle of the movie then i had to restart it it did it again later on towards the end. ?????? ![]() It has only happend to this movie so far, but I haven't watched anything else to their entiredy yet so I'm not sure. I hope this is a disc prob and not a PS3 issue because I remember my first PS2 having the same problem with some DVD movies. Other than that, I am in love with this thing!! ![]() ![]() Last edited by Blu-ray San; 12-18-2006 at 02:40 PM. |

i was so anxious to pop movies and games into the thing as soon as I brought it home, but after reading so much stuff on the internet, i made sure i had the update, and all my video settings were top notch and exactly how they should be before attempting to watch a movie. Ive been happy ever since.

I've seen some scattered complaints about Gone in 60 Seconds.
Probably some bad discs got out there. Get it exchanged. |

Are you seeing grain or compression noise? There is a critical difference. One is showing transparency to the film source (grain) the other a failure of the compression (noise). Peter M. Bracke at highdefdigest.com gave both the HD DVD (VC-1) and BD (MPEG-2) versions the exact same PQ score for the Italian Job. And saw the exact same issues in both. Perhaps, as also has been talked a lot about, you're seeing inherent issues in the underlying master, rather than a problem with the MPEG-2 codec? Gary |

![]() ![]() Oh another thing: most LCDs and rear view DLPs today are set very bright, things like 100% white at 100 ft.L or even more! SMPTE mastering CRTs are set to 100% white = 35 ft.L or so, while on movie theaters, films are projected so that the maximum white (transparent film base) is about 12 - 14 ft.L Why do I bring this up? Because due to how the eye works, it's more sensitive to change in motion (film grain, or noise, boiling away is motion) so even if the BD transfer had exactly the same amount of grain than the film, on a brighter LCD it would be more noticeable, even tho the transfer is being 100% accurate ![]() ![]() |

Thanks for the input, although I did try all stated above but no real dramatic change. Both the Punisher and Italian Job have the same grain on screen. Even Superman has a bit but not much. I say all of this after watching King Kong on HD-DVD which looks great. It's not too big of a deal to me because I still prefer blu-ray over HD-DVD and my Playstation 3 is an amazing player!!! ![]() Next is the silver (with glass frame) 46" Sony Bravia XBR 1080p LCD TV |

italian job is available on HDDVD in VC-1 and looks like crap there too.
The punisher is a dark, grainy experience. to date i feel it's the worst presentation I have on Blu-Ray. I rate it lower than House of FLying daggers. get some mi3, tears of the sun, black hawk down, click, swordfish you will be happy. i'll try Gone in 60 sec on my ps3. it didn't miss a beat on my samsung though. I have had one freeze on superman the movie, that was it though. |
