Friday the 13th: 8-Movie Collection (1980-1989) - Page 8 - Blu-ray Forum

Matt89 · 08-17-2021, 02:46 PM

I am curious to see caps from the new discs, as I've also been wondering how Paramount's encoding stacks up to SF's.

Maybe the Paramount versions of 2&3 don't have the zooms when Ginny is dressed as Mrs. Voorhees?

The new Paramount sets and the Scream Factory set use the same 4K masters just with different encoding.

Kyle15 · 08-17-2021, 07:04 PM

If they've got better encoding or a better representation of the master I'm gonna grab single part 1. Sounds promising!

I didn't pay attention to any zooms. I'm sure they're still there. I wish dvdbeaver or caps-a-holic would do a vs match soon. I can't take screenshots and I'd love to see how they compare in stills. But a big difference in the experiences are depth of reality. The shot of Alice in the canoe at the end. You can almost smell camp. Full expanse of the lake is felt and the shot looks suitable for framing on Paramount's release. The shame is, my first experience with it, was on a backlit lcd TV. I was thinking I was going nuts...there's no way Friday the 13th 1-4 look better on my friend's TV! My eyesight is deceiving me!

I still haven't had the chance to play pt 5-8. Despite being from older 2k origins, if they put those transfers through this same mystery pizazz process. You know, because they're charging more. Maybe those look better too? Probably not, because I'm expecting maybe now.

We have caps up comparing to Scream Factory, I am posting here until this inevitably gets deleted:

Thanks. I'm not seeing any significant difference between them.

captainjoe · 08-18-2021, 03:35 PM

They're exactly the same with the only difference being 1.78:1 to 1.85:1

rocknblues81 · 08-18-2021, 03:28 AM

Can't see myself buying these films again. I mean, I have the first 8 movies. FvJ and the remake on the original releases..... I have the digital of the first 8 movies, and now the the Scream set. At some point enough is enough.

Not everything has to be "the best release."

I have to agree 100% with both counts. Touché.

1) Jason Voorhees, and his mom, both disagree in this case, and wanna discuss with you at Camp Blood tonight....

2) Admit it, Paramount's likely not done with your wallet on this series. I can almost SMELL the hdr in the works, for the upcoming 4k uhd's of the first four films, once they've sold enough of these $50 8-packs on standard blu ray...You'll cave in, and you'll peel.....

cchhh ccchhhh ccchhhh

aahhh aaahhh aaaahhh!

Zillamon51 · 08-18-2021, 02:46 PM

I have the Scream set. I don't care what minor, incremental improvement the Paramount set might have. Until UHDs come along (in a collection, not singles), I'm done.

DaylightsEnd · 08-18-2021, 02:58 PM

I don't see too much of a difference, on the kindly-supplied and much-welcome caps, other than more information at the top and bottom of the screen on the Paramount disc, and a terse reminder that the Paramount disc unfortunately only has the 5.1 audio.....I'll check it out in motion on my Oppo, and see if I notice much of a difference on the fly....

Although, you're correct, there are several instances in a few of the movies that it really, really, reallyyyyy sounds like "Chi Chi Chi"

Thank you for the pt 1 screenshot comparisons, rbarb! Here's to hoping someone will post some for 2, 3 & 4 soon. Totally wasn't expecting them to look that identical! Disappointing really. In motion and at full size, there is a far more noticeable difference between them. Enough that, I don't understand how the screenshots could possibly look like identical twins. But cool to see an additional sliver of image on Paramount's. I hadn't noticed that.

We have all the others on the site, I don't want to push my luck with putting any more of our links on here because it is not appreciated by site admins. However if you search the site you'll find all 8 films.

1.85:1 is the correct ratio.

starsteam · 08-18-2021, 03:50 PM

Waiting on Part 3 comparisons. But I'm never buying F13 on Blu-ray again unless there's something new and significant included. The Shout Blus are as good as I need them.
