Which Studio Makes the Best Transfer (Video/Audio)?

[PaulDHolloway]

There are a ton of companies that produce the blu-ray so I am listing the big ones but if there is one you would like to point out go ahead. What studio makes the best blu-ray in your option with audio and video both providing both good video, good surround sound.

For live action: Sony
For animation: Disney/Pixar

The Criterion Collection

[bhampton]

Disney.

I think they all make the most of what they have though.

edit = The criterion is a real laugh. They have some of the worst transfers but that's due to the source material mostly.

This question was asked twice already before, but thats fine.

And yet you nominate the studio that released the original Gangs of New York disc and a mis-framed POTC.

Source material will limit any release. Criterion consistently releases very good to excellent discs including some of the best Live-action releases available.

Question:

Why aren't Criterion or Kino on your poll?

and how many similar threads do we have discussing the same subject?

Sony and Disney.....

If this is a joke, then I don't get your humor. In other words, you couldn't have said anything more wrong.

Okay, I wasn't aware of the fact that POTC was mis-framed. Which part? and has the problem been corrected?

[bhampton]

Yes,... the PotC problem was corrected.


Yes, My Criterion Blus and DVD often look a bit poor but that's because of the source material they have to work with. The Criterion DVD of Walkabout was pathetic (amazingly bad, non-animorphic widescreen, sourced from Laserdisc) and the Blu Ray is better but doesn't compare PQ-wise to Enchanted or Dead Man's Chest or just about anything from Disney actually. I have a handfull of Criterion Blus and the movies themselves are great but the Picture and Audio quality is often sad but likely the best they could do with what they had.

If you want to think otherwise then that's fine.

Disney, Sony, Universal are all great but I say Paramount over all of them just becuz they're back titles look so much better than those of other studios.

[Brad1963]

Of the major studios I say SONY. Criterion and Kino are awesome and the B-Movies out Shout Factory are ending up being quite better than expected for PQ.

[Dubstar]

even though Fox had it's problems with 'Patton', they seem to take their time with their releases - even if it's on the slow side.

Disney

Universal - even though 'Spartacus' should have more time and attention to it's hidef transfer

Sony

[RyRyMcNizzy13]

disney never dissapoints, well they did twice but i never purchased the bad gangs of new yourk and the POTC never bothered me, other than that they've made the best catalogs and reg releases thats i've seen

[Canada]

Sony when will Das Boot be available.
Universal except Mulholland Drive isn't out.
Disney
Paramount could have been higher if they didn't have made the audio mistake on Saving Private Ryan or the fowled up the PQ on the first Gladiator disc.


Fox releases are usually pretty good the only reason they are not on my main list is the price of their catalog films and the lack of special features on a lot of discs, and the disappointment that was Predator UHE PQ.

Disney and Universal Studios.

You're joking right? Universal is about the worst culprit of DNR and EE.
