...and why would we want to do that? As good as DVD-Basen is, it is still hosted by a certain asshole.

I just got the Ace Ventura collection so if anyone wants to make a comparison with me between the new transfers and the previous ones I'm all up for it.

Our comparisons are too idiosyncratic to be recorded as reference.

I always assumed they were just rough guides for us (and anyone who happens by).

Hey,

Can compare R2 Dumbo (SE) with the R1 "Big Top" Edition?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 11 May 2007, 21:57

Go ahead.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 12 May 2007, 10:27

Huh?
*Reads post again*
Doh! I meant "Can anyone compare?"

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 12 May 2007, 13:15

No. 8)

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 12 May 2007, 13:17

I just looked at DVD Compare - it seems to compare all the regions - R2 "SE" looks pathetic in comparison to the recent R1. R1 wins 8)

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 23 Jun 2007, 15:28

200 comparisons in the database.

And the latest DVD-Beaver comparison (The Searchers) contains screencaps made with a digital camera.

That's what I call "digging your own grave and burying yourself in it".

Ours is the best DVD Comparison forum ever.

I hope to add a Love & Pop comparison soon. R1 vs. R2J vs. R2JSE but I'm having a bit of hassle comparing cuts and presenting them at the same size.

A digital camera classic

, it gets worse, from the comparison:

"We will make the assumption that the Blu-ray DVD of The Searchers, has the same color scheme, framing and supplements as the HD-DVD."

Right okay it's always wise to assume

Looking forward to that. But since the orig. R2J is the only anamorphic disc I'll be keeping that and hoping the new edition isn't a big improvement in other areas

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 30 Jun 2007, 04:45

If Lourdes is keen, we'll do a Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door comparison.

Anyone have Mei Ah's remaster of Jet Li's The Hitman?

I'd like to compare it to the dubtitled and mono(!) HKL.

Can anyone compare the R2 Rarescope version of Born To Fight (1986) with the Brentwood R1?

both companies use the same print.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 02 Jul 2007, 20:02

Thanks

Are the subtitles the same? They seem about the same extras wise as well.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 02 Jul 2007, 20:12

Could anyone post a few Death Trance R1 caps?

Lourdes · Post by **Lourdes** » 14 Jul 2007, 16:43

I'll do Love & Pop some other time, I'll need to re-rip all three DVD's to my PC. With just the m2v's it's impossible to check times and compare cuts. Not to mention the hassle of cropping & enlarging.

Does anybody have Guns and Talks ?
I'm terribly disappointed with the quality of my french DVD.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 21 Jul 2007, 22:55

I have the Korean double disc edition.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 21 Jul 2007, 22:58

Great !

Could you post a few 1024x576 pics in a dedicated thread, please ?
I really want to know whether it's my DVD that's screwed-up.

Thanks.
