[MikeWill]

Just got home with my copy and nope there's no DTS track to be found :frowning:

 

[Esten]

The DTS track is there in the setup options. DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete

Oops, nevermind. Mine's not canadian.

For the first time in a LONG time, I didn't have any problem with the price sticker or the one from New Line about remastered video and sound. Came off incredibly easy and didn't leave any residue behind.

 

[Voranand]

Jack, What version you're talking about? I've read that NoES's Infinifilm edition has a new modernized color timing. So if the version is truer to the color timing of the film I watched long time ago, I'm gonna order it instead.

 

[mike kaminski]

the other editions also had full-screen versions that were open-matte versions.

The original DVD's transfer was supervised by Jacques Haitkin. The Infinifilm disc is different but I don't think it's bad. That being said, Haitkin knows better than me.

 

[Voranand]

Since the transfer of the infinifilm's version is new, I guess it will be with us for a while. What I'm afraid of is the old transfer (which Haitkin approved) will never see the light of day again.

Do what i did then , own a copy of the infinifilm and dont get rid of the older version, if youre afraid that transfer wont ever resurface.

 

[Voranand]

I plan to. Just not hurry to buy the new edition.

 

[Xenia Stathakopoulou]

You do realize you are missing out on some great alternate and deleted scenes, and tons of other stuff this edition has right ?

 

[Voranand]

Yes. That's not important right now. For now I just want to see the film itself the way I have seen it before.
I will miss director's commentary though. But that, too, can wait.

 

[TravisR]

They kept the commentary from the LD/original DVD on the Infinifilm disc too.

 

[Jack Johnson]

The original release from Newline's definintely a keeper; hang on to it like you hang on to the supervised transfer of Halloween (not the Divimax edition with botched color timing).

To my eyes, the re-jiggered timing on the Infinifilm is as dramatic a change, as significant a distortion of the original look of the film.

 

[Voranand]

They tint some scenes differnetly and look like contrast level get boosted too much from the screencap. Overall it look like a modernized version. Not sure how much I can trust screencap though so I plan to buy Infinifilm edition also but will get original first 'cause I don't think they'll use the old transfer anymore.
Now just can't order from Amazon. it's out of stock. All the buyers won't ship to my country. :frowning:

 

[Esten]

As I've said before, get the Infinifilm for the extras, not for film presentation. They messed that up BIG time in my eyes.

 

[Xenia Stathakopoulou]

Voranand, youre in luck ! If youre looking for the old nightmare 1 dvd, its in stock brand new at play usa! They ship to almost anywhere in the world !

 

[Voranand]

I believe it's a case of too much button at your hand. You're bound to use it eventually.
Just saw Warner's Bullitt and the transfer is extraordinary. Warner is the one who know something about original look of filmstocks. Bravo to them!

 

[Voranand]

Many thanks Tony.

I guess this is the one?
