EiV Blu-rays 1080i 50Hz?!
I never see reviews for EiV Blu-rays, so I've just been searching the net for some information on how they fare, and found this http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=987253
No surprises there, I wish EiV would just go away; why the hell can't New Line distribute here

I am not at all surprised :x . Good question. I wish New Line would
It seems people have decided to completely avoid them, you never see them in sales either. A fair few people have imported PS3s too which won't work with EIV BDs.
Also from that link:
EIV are an utter joke and make my blood boil. I wish they'd go bankrupt and stop taking the rights to so many films better companies could release instead. Let me see:
1. The only UK only studio to consistently use BD Region Coding.
2. A complete lack of HD Audio support, they re-use the DD5.1/DTS from their DVDs.
3. Sub-par Picture Quality.
4. Absolutely atrocious cover art quality. I've seen bootlegs that have a more professional cover.
Thankfully in most cases their films are already released by decent American studios. I only own 2-3 EIV DVDs (such as the uncut History of Violence, cut in America) as I despise them!

It's more reason for me to go Region A and stick to New Line releases instead, that isn't a sarcastic statement btw .cybersoga wrote:It's running time is 101m 18s. It's not running at 24fps, it's running at 50 fields per second, which equates to 25 frames per second or PAL speed. Assuming it was shot in 24fps it's speeded up, soundtrack voices and all.

Don't forget this about their Crow BD:
http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=13580I am not very happy as this disk will not play in 1080i, it will only play in standard def. This will only play in 1080 via HDMI and not component. Could this be one of those awfull disks that are encrypted so that you have to view it over an HDMI cable instead of component.
Also mpeg2 so image is really grainy and I would go as far as to say this is the worst looking movie I have on BD

More shit encrusted discs from EiV:-
sourceMy lovely girlfriend bought me Death Sentence Blu last week and I was well chuffed, however on viewing there was a 1080p menu with 1080i feature! Needless to say I was gutted so I'd certainly complain about Entertain video too, they're shocking for even contemplating such a transfer.

That's New Line's not EIV's fault though.

It is EIV's fault, they released it, they could have made a brand spanking new transfer if they wanted to spend some time and cash doing so, they went the cheap way and bought the New Line transfer.bradavon wrote:That's New Line's not EIV's fault though.

Both companies are scumlords mind you for putting such a transfer out.

Yup I hate the Dark City transfer, it's a damn shame that it got released before Warner took them over as I'd imagine Warner would have done a better job than that.
