    Mastering errors on legacy bonus features on recent Warner Archive titles (King Solomon’s Mines, The Boy With Green Hair, One Way Passage, etc.)

    You make a good point but these old titles don't sell a lot of copies so it is nice to have them on Bluray even with the flaw you note.

    Is Paris Burning? (1966) restored in 4K

    I purchased the Japanese version and it is the full length 173 minutes with very good video. It is the audio that presents the biggest problem which has always been the case. The Blu-ray is dubbed in English which is awful. I would much prefer the audio in the language spoken, English, French...

    4K even worst not including Resume Play,Its like they don't care

    One good feature the 4K players include is subtitle shift allowing you to move the subtitles to the bottom of the screen. (For the French Blu-rays with forced subtitles you can move the subtitles right off the screen) Panasonic allow you to change the subtitle luminance but not the color.

    The Blur-ray is on back order and considering a Pal dvd is 576i versus NTSC 480i the Pal DVD may look decent. The dvd comes with both versions so maybe I will order the dvd for now.
