Fifth Element, How Do I tell if it is Remastered? - Blu-ray Forum

vilgan · 03-15-2008, 05:09 PM

Recently acquired a copy of 5th element on Blu-Ray. However, there is no obvious "remastered" label anywhere on the case. How do I tell if it is the remastered copy and not the regular copy? Would prefer a way to tell 100% rather than just watching it and guessing that it is or isn't depending on how I like the PQ.

Thanks for any information!

Where and when did you get it?

Mine said it on the security/sticky label.

That's what I used to identify it but I'm pretty sure a few of the threads here tell how to identify it by something on the actual cover. Can't recall what it is though.

Not sure but, I heard that the Remastered has TrueHD and the first one does not.

I was told just watch it. If your socks aren't knocked off then it's the orginial version. Someone actually told me that.

That makes sense too. It was remastered because the one was horrible

Yep, this is the exact way to tell....

Look for the TrueHD logo on the Back, the first only has a PCM track, this one has a TrueHD track and a PCM track.

You are correct, I have them both and the remastered one has the TruHD audio track, the original does not.

If I buy it from Amazon now, would it be the remastered version?

Should be.

the original release have a matte grey "higher definition" label on the bottem... the remastered version has a glossy/metallic silver look to it.
