Someone needs to change this site's description because the listing has the wrong films.

I know that at least one site (dvd-forum.at) lists Witness, Dead Poets Society and The Truman Show but it is wrong. Product page at Koch Media site explicitly states production years for the movies: 1974/1975/1977/1979.

The Plumber, Picnic at Hanging Rock, The Last Wave, and The Cars That Ate Paris, all are pictured on the blu-ray's cover and are listed on the linked Amazon.de page which makes the listing very weird.

Received it today.
Despite what the box says Picnic at Hanging Rock is in 1.78:1 ratio. It has three lossless DTS HD-MA audio tracks, 5.1 English (around 1,600 kbps), 2.0 English (high 800's around 900 kbps), and 2.0 German (around 900 kbps, German subtitles also available). The video looks fantastic, it's around 26 mbps.

The Cats That Ate Paris has 2.0 English and 2.0 German DTS HD-MA audio tracks, both around 1,600 kbps. It looks really good as well, has the original 2.39:1 aspect ratio, video bit rate around 30 mbps.

The Last Wave is the same as the single disk I provided caps and info for here. It has 2.0 DTS HD-MA English and 2.0 and 5.1 DTS HD-MA German audio tracks, video bit rate around 24.5 mbps and it looks excellent.

The Plumber has DTS HD-MA 2.0 English and German audio tracks. Video bit rate is around 32 mbps. The video quality looks true to source; it's a low budget Australian tv movie from the late 70's. It looks similar to how a 16mm drive-in/b-movie film from that era would look.

The Cats that ate Paris? That, I'd like to see.

Mind you, I'd like to see The Cars that Eat People too! (see post 1)

I've only seen The Cars That Ate Paris. Which, frankly, was a bit of a disappointment.

Thanks for the mini review. Sounds promising this will probably get an official review.
