Accidental Spy (HK DVDs) - DD5.1 v DTS

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 27 May 2006, 12:39

Hey,

If I want the uncut version, is it best to avoid the "DD5.1" DVD because the sound goes out of synch? (I think Tom said this). It is very cheap at DDD House though, however HK Flix have the DTS DVD in stock for 11.95, so more expensive but its about to go OOP/OOS.

Does the "DTS" DVD only have DTS?

Course not.

I think I did. I'll check anyway.

*Checking*

Actually the DTS track is out of sync too during the airport/fireworks scene, but less than the DD 5.1 track.

The DTS DVD is the one to go for then? (for the uncut version anyway?) I liked the film but the US version was too short IMO.
How much is it (the DTS or DD) OOS by, secs or minutes?

As it's very cheap and out of syncness in my experience is often not noticed by me I'd opt for the cheapo and see if you spot it.

If its only a second or something than thats OK I guess, if it was more than that I'd worry.
I didnt notice the out of synchness on Police Story IVL for example.

As far as I remember, it's several minutes.

EDIT: I mean it lasts several minutes. It's not several minutes out of such

So its just 1s OOS or whatever for a few mins? I can live with that.

Someone please tell us which DVD has the uncut Asian version.

The Hong-Kong DVD and Japanese DVD both have the uncut version.
All western releases are cut AFAIK.

If the out of syncness lasts a few minutes, how much is it OOS, something I'd notice?
For the cheapo DDD HOuse price I'm sure itll be fine.

I'm sure all HK DVDs are uncut.
