But it fits on one disc with the DTS track! DTS doesn't take up all that much space. A half-bitrate track (which I would guess they used on the R1 edition as well) takes up about the same amount of disc space as a pair of reduced-bitrate Dolby 5.1 tracks, and less space than a pair of...

Just a quick added note that this one's been available in R4 for quite some time. Check the usual review databases for review links; to me, it looked of pretty decent quality considering the age and status of the film, but then, I'm not an enormous fan of this particular bit of Woody Allen's...

My post from a little over a day ago obviously got nuked along with the database, but thankfully a copy was still in my Internet Explorer cache, so... here it is again :) I've just reviewed the region 4 version for the Australian site for which I write, and you'll perhaps be surprised to...

Here's another early review of the R4 (Australian) version of the disc: http://www.dvd.net.au/review.cgi?review_id=1953 (Disclosure: this review is on the site for which I write DVD reviews; however, I did not write this particular one :) ) - Anthony

The R2/R4 version might have an average bitrate of 6.87Mbit/sec, but I don't see why that's "watered down". Aside from the fact that it's only marginally below the average rate of many so-called "superbit" discs, the bitrate graph for this disc shows that the data rate often gets up to...

You may not be able to see the alternate ending of Pretty In Pink, but you can hear the song that went with it. The song, Goddess Of Love by OMD, is on their later album The Pacific Age (though re-recorded, not surprisingly). OMD's Andy McCluskey told me years ago that while both songs were...

It might not be called DV, but is still is DV - as in "digital video". (My mistake - I wasn't referring to DV-the-format :) ) - Anthony

Terrell, I understand your point, and in an ideal world DVD customers would have a choice of both (now THAT would be an interesting multi-disc set!) What I was saying though is that I'm not surprised that the producers and Lucas wanted the "film look" with its distinctive characteristics...

The average bitrate of the R2/R4 comes up as 6.15Mbit/sec using Bitrate Viewer, but that's being computed with the multi-angle, multi-language opening title crawl included, which is nearly 2 minutes' worth of seriously high total data rate. When Bitrate Viewer runs into multi-angle material, its...

Just a quick heads-up for Australian fans of Say Anything... - the region 4 DVD of the film (released in Australia at the end of March) contains none of the extra material that the US disc has, and also appears to use an old video transfer of the film. I've had a rant about the disc (and offered...
