VC1? In this day and age?

It's essentially the same disc as the older US release. They just added audio and subtitle tracks for several foreign languages.

So which is the better version to get? The digibook or the 2019 version (with the darker cover)

Jompa · 02-23-2020, 08:51 PM

The German BD looks good. Higher video bitrate too: https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?go=1&...=36744&i=0&l=0

Looking at DVDCompare, the Warner release has better audio and The SharkTank Redemption parody short film, but the ITV release adds 2 hours of interviews with the cast. So depends upon your priorities.

The current transfers are all 4K-sourced from the same Darabont-approved master. I personally like the current German steelbook best.

Krizzle1 · 02-24-2020, 07:01 AM

Thanks guys, so any Warner release would be fine

So is the newer darker cover version a better quality picture to the original ITV release, or are they pretty much the same? I see that the newer one has HD sound unlike the originals DD5.1.

Also, I recently spotted that the iTunes version of this that I bought is listed as 136 mins and yet the darker cover on iTunes is listed as 142 mins. On this site both blus are listed as 142, yet my blu states 136 mins on the back.

Is the original release edited slightly? I didn't think PAL speeded up thing was an issue when it came to blu-rays, but maybe I'm wrong?

You'd think this would be a no-brainer big seller on UHD.

All versions appear to have the same runtime.

I have the older US edition with a Dolby True HD track. The newer English disc has DTS HD MA track unlike the old ITV release which was lossy. Strangely the old ITV disc is also the only one which uses AVC as opposed to VC-1. I’ve never seen this though so I cannot comment on quality.

^ Thanks for that. I keep meaning to add that dvdcompare site to my go-to list!

CelestialAgent · 08-29-2020, 08:49 PM

Always interesting with films that have changed distributors for their production company/library, and then having Warner Bros print a Columbia TriStar poster.

I’m fine with my ITV Studios Blu-ray, don’t feel the need to upgrade.

An “Ultimate Collector’s Edition”?
Come on Zavvi, booklet, poster and postcards do not an ultimate collector’s edition make.
