The Terminator: US Blu-Ray vs R1US SE DVD
Blu top.
DVD bottom.
The BD uses mpeg-2.
Differences in hue should be genuine.

Oh dear. This isn't very encouraging.

Same fucking print. Zero improvement.

Slight increase in detail. Still catastrophic, though.

Doesn't look too bad. If you've got a good eye, you'll notice that there is more macroblocking on Arnold's cheek in the BD than on the DVD.

With the increase in resolution, you should be able to read every single name in there. But not here.
Kinda like Superbit DVD vs regular DVD.
Useless.

I used to be "the man who loves the movies you hate".
Now I'm just "that weird french guy with a cat avatar who comes to BnB once a year for no reason and then disappears again".

Yeah, seriously.
This is a movie that should be re-scanned at 4K and restored completely.
Come on, Sony. Give it a Blade Runner-like makeover.
I don't buy that "It's a low-budget 20-year old movie so it's bound to look like crap" excuse.

Massive genralisation there, some can look superb on the exact same compression method and disc. Its not the disc, or codec they use, its how they encode it and use the space wise. But I am sure you know that.bradavon wrote: 2. PCM + BD25 + MPEG2 = Shite!
Basically its becuase they are lazy sods, not becuase of the disc they used.

Kung-Fu Hustle looks brilliant apart from a couple of dark shots that show macroblocking. Is it a BD25, though? I'm not entirely sure.

The American disc is, so I guess the rest are too:

I never said they all look shit. What I actually said was, as a general rule it's not a good idea. As most know, except for Sony all the BD25s use MPEG4.
