Universal Soldier: Regeneration

Wow, that framing is just completely different!

I own the UK release which is the same ratio as the US one and I have to say I prefer that one. The AUS release seems to have way too much information on the vertical and not enough on the horizontal which to me makes it feel a little cramped.

Kind of interesting that both are still showing more information in their respective ratios - more picture information on the vertical with the AUS release and more on the horizontal with the US/UK releases. I wonder if the framing has been changed automatically with a one-size fits all approach. I'm thinking it might be considering the way it's been cut in this frame.

KaiGusto: I'm assuming this may be due to the jpeg compression based on the small file size of only 77kb, but when capturing did you notice the loss in detail shown in these caps also? The only reason I ask is because the AUS release is a fair bit darker (look at the lack of discernable detail in Andrei's face in comparison to the US release) and it also seems to have DNR applied if it's not the result of your capture process and/or jpeg compression (see the lack of detail in the strap thread pattern of Andrei's chest armour).

I'm hoping that's just due to the high jpeg compression. If not I would definitely recommend the UK or US release between the change in aspect ratio and detail loss.
