Nah. One disc for the film alone = more room for a higher bit-rate transfer. 2-discers sell better anyway, even at zillion dollar Criterion prices.

Just sold my old versions D time to get the new ones, still quite some wait and hope I can get em cheap

it doesnt say 2 dvd above? or am I blind (Acctually I am by the way, almost)

1 dvd per film sadly it looks like to me. As long as the sounds good and the picture top I dont mind too much, better not be messed up sound like the new Seveen Samurai 5.1 poo track!

There's no 5.1 on the new SS, 4.0 or Mono (same as the old dvd).

I'm sure both are under 120 minutes so with just the one extra 2 discs isn't needed.

5.1 / 4.0 same thing, a crap remix which sounds like crap as its done badly. The Mono was perfect.

It was on the original release, it was released in the cinema in some weird 4.0 mix (it's not a remix, except to transcode it into Dolby Digital) and if it sounds weird it's because the 4.0 mix was made in a now very much defunct quadraphonic format.

Oh and they've included Mono so big deal. Provided Mono is included I'd prefer a bad remix than none at all. I can then decide for myself.

Nope the sound, sounds shit for one reason, its shit. The white noise in the background everytime someone talks is beyond a joke, its pathetic it was no cleaned up.

Fair enough then.

I was shocked Criterion let it thru, all the dialogue is nasty on the ears

pity, but good job there mono to revert back to, clean as a whistle no white crackling noise.
