David Lynch's 1984 - Dune

[polygon1371]

Australia has generally been pretty good with releasing Lynch titles on BD, much better than the US. In fact I think we were one of the first countries/regions to get Eraserhead, Lost Highway and Wild at Heart along with Japan (FWW was pretty huge there, while it bombed everywhere else). I know we still haven't got Mulholland Dr., but I'm hanging out for the Criterion release, so I'll probably order that when it becomes available. Can anyone get some high-res screen captures to compare Dune with the older US release?

After some quick comparisons, it looks to me to be the same encode. The only differences are the inclusion of a French DTS track and D-Box enabling on the US disc. Both VC-1 codecs and DTS-HD MA 5.1 Audio, same extras and looks to be the same master/encode. Similar stream sizes, around 300 megs difference, but that could simply be explained by the French DTS track included on the US disc. Different menus however and the AU disc is a very nice picture disc!

YMMV as this is a quick comparison from a non-professional cinephile.
