[knifethrower]

One from before that got lost in the shuffle.

I can get bitrates for the Canadian disc later.

Different movie with a similar name.

Surprised to see Blade 2 (U.S.) is listed as having dnr, I can see moving grain all over the place (guess it could be barely intrusive dnr). Are there any comparison shots?

As far as Inferno is concerned the German disk uses the same master as the Arrow disk, just without the dnr. It's a brighter version of the film with different color timing (less spooky looking), so I wouldn't say it's the best looking version (the difference in bit rate between it and the BU disk is minimal).

They were talking about Sin Nombre from 09 not Los Sin Nombre. Although neither have US releases.

Oops sorry

[JimDiGriz]

Watchmen - a UK DC has been available for a while now but isnt listed on the front page, better PQ than US apparently.

Strange Days isnt listed - not available in USA/UK, got mine from Germany, I could provide more details later if needed?

Why isnt Lost Highway listed? Not available in the USA but there are two German ones, a dodgy UK one, Australian one, French one etc...

and Mulholland Drive! Probably more Lynch ones unlisted too...

Think Watchmen was here before, this is what I have

Watchmen
US - VC-1 22292 kbps, Dolby TrueHD 5.1 1636 kbps 24-bit, BD50 (Ultimate cut 3:35) Advanced Profile 3 (Warner)
US - VC-1 18484 kbps, DTS-HD MA 5.1 3869 kbps 24-bit, BD50 (Director's cut 3:06) Advanced Profile 3 (Warner)
UK - AVC 27236 kbps, Dolby TrueHD 5.1 3512 kbps 24-bit, BD50 (Director's cut 3:06) High Profile 4.1 (Paramount) Best PQ (better compression)

Yes add Strange Days specifications so it can be added. Thinking of buying it now when the price have dropped

Blade 2: There was a pretty big difference that we all agreed on, I'll see if I can find the screens (think it was from screenshotcomparison)

[Torrente]

I remember about that too.
Plus there were some frame alterations on the US BD (cf Caps-a-holic)

Rambo Extended Cut

USA - 25 GB BD - DTS HD-MA 7.1

Netherlands - 50 GB BD - DTS HD-MA 7.1 - very little better in detail than the US release (also brighter than the USA release)

Finland/Sweden - 50 GB BD - DTS HD-MA 5.1 - very little better in detail than the Dutch release (brightness same as US release)

Does the French release of Crash, have burned in French subs?

I just ordered it for the better encode and lossless audio. Should arrive this week, I'll let you know but I am pretty sure they are optional.

Ok, thanks. I myself am pondering on ordering it.

[BluProofie]

You should probably update that Halloween 4 and 5 have US discs from Anchor Bay now.

Trainspotting

AU (Universal) - not uncut version. Similar to the US Lionsgate version with same extras.

You have a comparison for this? Would love too see it

[casspir]

Is there a version with English or German dubbing, or all versions all over the world have the original Dutch audio?
Do the different versions have the same PQ?

[Torrente]

The french BD is open mate (not pan & scan, "just" open mate)

And there is a french dubbing in addition to the original audio track.
