Lost : Disney vs Buena Vista - Blu-ray Forum

Nicolas554 · 02-02-2009, 11:26 PM

I bought Lost season 3 and 4. I bought the season 3 from my local store in Quebec, and the season 4 on ebay, from a seller from Ontario.

I think the canadian release is from Buena Vista, and the USA release is from Disney, is there any differences in the PQ or AQ ? i've noticed they are listed with the very same specification, so i guess there is no difference at all from those studio release ?

Thx !!!

Buena Vista and Disney are part of a conglomerate. I don't think it matters which company logo is tagged onto the packaging. Both companies would be using the same company to encode/program their discs. So, the end result should be identical.

Buena Vista and Disney are the same company.

That's not technically correct but, with respect to the OP's question, I wouldn't be worried.

Buena Vista is under Disney's umbrella.

Disney owns Buena Vista. So they are one in the same.

the cdn version is superior, better PQ and AQ, i imported from US to prove this.

Yes it is.

Walt got pissed off by RKO's high handed treatment once too often, so he and Roy formed their own distribution company, Buena Vista, named after the street running by the new Disney Studios. The first film released under the Buena Vista baner won an Academy Award (Walt's nature film Seal Island)

Buena Vista = Disney.

RKO = historical cinema factoid.

Yeh I always thought Buena Vista was owned by Disney.
Didnt know about the renaming tho.

You've proven my point. Disney and Buena Vista are NOT the same company. A distinction without a difference? Maybe.
