| I guess you don't support OAR, huh? I am not counting you as an OAR advocate. |
Damin,
Cut it out, stop stoking the fires here.

I can't accurately comment on the existing DVDs, as I have not watched them since obtaining my RPTV and have only viewed them on a rather shoddy TV.
But I'm always game for a re-dip if there is a significant improvement to the presentations.

I can't believe all these 1.78:1 vs. 1.85:1 arguments. Matting to 1.85:1 is not a golden rule, you know. The framing doesn't have to be cut to the quick. 1.78:1 is a lot safer.
Most DVDs that are stated on the packaging to be 1.85:1 are in fact, 1.78:1, just as most 2.35:1 transfers are 2.40:1.

Any word yet on when the new editions will be coming out? I will be curious to see A/B comparison screenshots when they do. I don't think there's anything that would get me to double dip, but it'll be interesting.

If they are a significant improvement then I will purchase this new release. Thank goodness I didn't buy the first release as there was a large group of disappointed viewers.

So does anyone know about the soundmix issue? Will the original mono mix be included this time around?

Who's to say you would've been one of them? There are several here that are very happy with the first release dvd presentation.

Gordy,
Once again, does this transfer 'technique', allow the DVD too be OAR?
Still thinking, an OAR DVD has to be the same as the film!
Am I wrong?

I sure hope you don't own any 1.33:1 transfers of 1.37:1 films, either.
|
I don't know.
Would sure like to find out more about this.
Funny thing I thought DVDFILE, had it wrong when they stated; Pumping Iron would be released in it's original 1,37:1 ratio.
I thought it was a misprint, of 1.33:1. :b
