Lourdes, lemme know if you do Kwaidan. I've got the R4.

I've bumped it up my list. I can probably get caps from the Criterion as well but I believe it's the short version so probably not worth the effort.

Is there anyting worth comparing the Macross+ remaster to?

The R1 OVA (not the R1 Movie Edition) and the old R2J releases.

Not sure I'll bother actually, same goes for most of the new BD's because there's no decent existing release. But if you're interested I can get some screens and details.

If it's not too much trouble, could you please do a MacPlus comparison? Cheers.

Do any of you guys in Region Two have Phantasm R2? I just got R1 AB special edition and would like to do a comparison.

I have the UK Phantasm set, I can do no.3 as well if you like. Could you please take the caps one frame directly before or after a scene/shot transistions (a lot easier to match this way) and upscale them to 1024x576 (PAL has added resolution so it makes sense to upscale NTSC sourced stuff, rather than downscale PAL stuff)? You easily do using Lourdes' alternative method listed here.

Thanks.

Anybody up for a "Laputa: Castle in the Sky" and/or "Kiki's Delivery Service" comparison ?
I've got the non-windowboxed R2FR versions.

I'll see if I can rustle up the R2J of Laputa, I'll PM you when I have caps. No interest in Kiki so I shan't bother with that.

I'll probably get some captures up in the next few days or so. Keep an eye out.

Req: ROAD HOUSE R1 SE.

Just wondering how it compares to my MGM R2.

The extras alone aren't worth the upgrade.

Hey, has anyone here got the R2 Optimum 2-disc of Mulholland Drive? I'd like to see some caps to see if the picture is any different to the original Universal release.

Thanks!

They're highly likely gonna be the same, since they're both sourced from Studio Canal masters.

The film is in my rental queue, if I get the Optimum disc I'll take some caps.

Thanks a lot, much appreciated

...and I can provide R1 caps.

I received the Universal one.

I suspect the transfer would be identical though. There are Studio Canal logos and Optimum are part of Canal. They've taken over the distribution of lots of titles without doing anything new or precious little.

Ahh right, fair do's! I might leave it anyway and wait till I get an HD version, it's not like my DVD has anything to complain about.

Takashi Miike's Black Society Trilogy (Shinjuku Triad Society, Rainy Dog, Ley Lines): R1 vs R2UK please

and if no comparison available any UK comments / caps would be appreciated

Three Outlaw Samurai R2J caps please

How to include the Average DVD Bitrate of each DVD, added to Tom's "How to make a DVD comparison" thread:

https://www.bulletsnbabesdvd.com/forums/ ... php?t=2428

It would be handy if we could start adding this to our comparisons. It takes seconds to find out.

Bitrate is really very meaningless and that application tends to show the combined bitrate of all streams and even then it's rarely accurate. I usually check bitrates with calc.exe but it's only a way of possibly explaining the visual differences we already see....
It's even more pointless than comparing audio tracks with a spectral analysis.

Agreed they should be taken with a pinch of salt but it does give a rough idea. For example Manhunter MGM is around 8Mb but only 5.5Mb from Momentum, that's some difference.

N/A

I'd love to see a proper SD to BD comparison of Infernal Affairs if you don't mind.
