| Schawn: There are a set of YCM sep masters that were made in 1953. We scanned them at 4K as well, and then digitally recombined them. They were used as the secondary source for picture restoration. |
| Then I put in the DVD of DEMETRIUS AND THE GLADIATORS. Augh! Now we need to push for that to get a digital clean-up. Hard to watch it after the pristine quality of THE ROBE. |

. But I guess I'll check it out when the disc has arrived.

Even if I'm very impatient, I think I rather wait until you receive your Blu-ray. Please let us know, whether it is Region Locked or not! Thank you. |

Hopefully this is the first of many classic releases by Fox without region locking.

Don't despair! Your posts may take some time to appear when you're a relatively new member. That's how the forum works. Soon they will be visible to all much faster! (Just believe that it is there, no need to repeat, trust me. And I just removed your double post.) Cees |

Then choose "Main Menu" and the Blu-ray starts with the main menu. I tested it on a Panasonic BD35 from a friend, too, but it doesn't work. Seems to work only on the BD30 and BD50 machines.
