Got the check disc today and I'll be working my way through all the Besson titles so it'll be a few days before I review Leon, but first impressions are postive, transfer seems solid and I think the audio is DTS-HD MA although I wasn't paying attention. The Theatrical Cut is also choosable from the Extras menu.gasteropod wrote:The UK BD of Leon will contain the theatrical and director's cut. Let's hope Optimum don't fuck it up.

I meant of the new batch of releasesgasteropod wrote:What are you talking about? They didn't even release 'They Live' because the check disc got such a bad review on DVD Times or DVD Active, and their BD of 'Escape from New York' is apparently an upscale. Not to mention the discs with the sound pitch problems and whatnot, Optimum are shite. I'll still never forgive them for the worst DVD encoding ever on Spirited Away where she's running through the hedges, fucking dicks.
I never knew that was the actual reason.gasteropod wrote:What are you talking about? They didn't even release 'They Live' because the check disc got such a bad review on DVD Times or DVD Active.
You can blame Studio Canal for that. Sure Optimum should've rejected them but Studio Canal are to blame.gasteropod wrote:Not to mention the discs with the sound pitch problems
I've not seen the UK DVD but the Madman R4 is an NTSC-PAL messs. R1 all the way.gasteropod wrote:and whatnot, Optimum are shite. I'll still never forgive them for the worst DVD encoding ever on Spirited Away where she's running through the hedges, fucking dicks.
As you say Optimum have released "plenty" of very good BDs and HDs. More than their rubbish ones.romerojpg wrote:I own plenty of the great/perfect discs.
It should be. My German BD does.Shingster wrote:Got the check disc today and I'll be working my way through all the Besson titles so it'll be a few days before I review Leon, but first impressions are postive, transfer seems solid and I think the audio is DTS-HD MA although I wasn't paying attention.
You said earlier in this thread you thought the audio on the German was DTS-HR, which matches up with info posted on the AVSforums. A chap over there has posted BDinfo on the French and German releases and the Optimum transfer has a slightly higher disc capacity than the French (which has a DTS-HD MA track), but a lower disc capacity than the German.bradavon wrote:It should be.

I've now watched Nikita, they're proper subtitles.bradavon wrote:This is probably hard for you to check (as French PCM 2.0 is only included) but can you check if Nikita has subtitles and not dubtitles? I'll probably plump for the (barebones) Sony USA BD as it has French TrueHD 5.1 but it's nice to know. I'm pretty sure "only" the original USA BD had dubtitles and the SE has subtitles.
