Dolls - R1US vs. R2BE vs. R2UK

Lourdes · Post by **Lourdes** » 03 May 2008, 13:11

R1US is interlaced
R2BE is progressive (and has no English subs)
R2UK is progressive

R1US Top, R2BE Middle, R2UK Bottom

Same extras and subtitles.

Hopefully someone can add R2J (and possibly other) caps.

I used to have the R2J but I think it was a bit soft. I also recall the colors being similar to those R1 caps.

I now have the Spanish disc. I don't have it at hand right now, but I think it's similar to the UK disc. Actually, wouldn't be surprised at all if it was a port.

I think Palm used the same master and then hired apes to do their own encode.

My God, the R1 is a hunk of shit.

Lourdes: Could you mention it's the USA R1 please.

The Canadian R1 is a DVD5 PAL to NTSC transfer and barebones too. The R1 I believe is Native NTSC but I didn't know it was Interlaced.

Palm Pictures: USA
Seville: Canadian

I used to own the USA R1. It was ropey but watchable. I ended up selling it on eBay.

Do you have the R4 Eva?

Hopefully it has a decent transfer as the UK DVD is only DD2.0.

I don't own any copy of this film.

Fair enough. I thought you bought it during a Madman sale.

Cheers Lourdes.

Belgian caps added.

Same as the R2UK, except there's more grain.
Based on cap n°7, I suspect that the bitrate is higher on the R2BE (there's more detail in the sand).

Video on the R2UK is 4.23GB. I wouldn't think that the Belgian disc would be much different, not that you can really compare bitrates unless there's a dramatic difference as encoders vary so much. The R2BE is sharper which is why there's a little more detail and grain but there isn't enough bitrate for this which translates into more artefacts and noise.
