Oceans 13 is here (PICS) Blu-ray

[MrVorhees]

Hello Blu-ray m8's

I just picked up 'Oceans 13' on Blu-ray last week!







(i apologize for the bad image quality, i used my cellphone for this pictures )

The FACTS:

-Warner Bros is using VC-1 videocodec.
-Unfortunately its only a BD 25 GB
-Mbps are sometimes down to 4.9mbps (result of it: VERY soft picture)
-Maximum mbps 29
-Blu-ray got the same copy transfer as the HD DVD
(so actually its a HD DVD , since its optimized for HD DVD specs. and not fpr Blu-ray specs.)

Its the german release, yes, but there is no doubt the US version will get a different transfer, i can promise that!
And AUDIO, i cant tell what audio the US version will get, the german version dont have any uncompressed HD Sound, no Lossless Sound just a simple Dolby Digital Track , pretty SAD

DD English
DD German
DD French
DD Italian
DD Spanish


Well lets go for the picture quality.

Since it is an Day&Date , a absolut new transfer, i have to say honestly its the worst transfer i have ever bought!

I can tell HONESTLY there is not a single scene in this movie wich is HD reference. The Bitrates are between 12 - 22 mbps. In some scenes even 4.9mbps. The result very unsharp image, maybe its done by purpose? I dont know.

The movie shows alot of grain, but not normal film grain like on other movies like '300' for example. More a grain with litle artefacts in it, very annoying.
hard to describe.


Yet another poor Warner Transfer unfortunately.

But i think you will agree with me, when you all get the Blu-ray
