Trends of blu

[aggienader08]

Ok, so after being a member and watching the forums for a short while I have noticed a trend in the business of converting blu-rays. Some companies do a horrible job while others do a surprisingly fantastic job. You can add some to the list because I don't know every single production company. So here we go from greatest to worst in PQ/AQ.

1. Criterion Collection (of course)
2. Universal (they know what they're doin)
3. Disney (well duh.)
4. 20th Century Fox (some great looking transfers)
5. Paramount
6. Sony
7. Lionsgate
8. New Line Cinema
9. Warner (a lot of disappointing titles)

I would pretty much go out on a limb here to say that all of them do a pretty consistently good job aside from numero 9 on this list. While Warner owns pretty much most of the blu rights out there and there are a lot of good Warner transfers, overall they have done an unfair and poor job on a lot of good movies. Please add your thoughts.

Opus Arte
The BBC

I have several live Ballet performances and they are beyond sick live. The sound is incredible and the visuals are jaw dropping.
The first two or three releases were only in 1080i and they were still better than anything released in the first 14 months of Blu.

In my (limited) buying experience so far, seems to me that Disney, Sony, and Warner Bros. are consistently top-flight with their transfers.

IMHO I think that Warner Bros. has had more disappointing transfers than any other studio.

1. Warner has been excellent in recent months and anyone who hasn't noticed the massive improvements they've done isn't paying close attention to the market. They belong in the Top 5.

2. Any chart without Opus Arte at the very top and Eagle Rock Entertainment right next to them is questionable...at best.

In very recent months, yes! But I'm looking at the overall or average picture. You're right though. Like I said add to the list.
