International Region B Inferno (1953) 3D August 10 (1 Viewer)

Why do you need 2 HDMI outputs?

Because it is the only way that those of us with audio receivers over 2 years old can have both 3D and lossless audio.on Blu-Ray.

Crap, it's region locked!

Buy an all zone/region player.I got a bluray and dvd combined for less tan $100 and it plays all zones. Otherwise just change your player's 4 digit code to enable it to play all zones/regions..There are internet sites that will give you the codes for your player or contact your local dealer.Check your player's menu and you may be able to do it yourself without knowing what the code is.. If you have a dvd or bluray burner on your computer then you will be able to download a free programme that will enable you (probably illegal) to copy the disc and remove the zones or regions while it is being copied. So very simple. It is because of this that most of the major studios no longer have regional coding on their discs.

Don't you (or he) mean Region B?

And don't you also mean ZONE B?. Region codes (there are about 8) are used for dvds and zone codes (4) are for blurays.

Someone has asked Twilight Time on their Facebook page about a possible release and they replied they don't have the right elements yet. Also wanted to note to Sam33 the US hasn't given up the ship yet...Dragonfly Squadron and a 3-d Rarities will come out this year as well as The Bubble which is from the 60s but from the director of the 50s Bwana Devil

THE BUBBLE was released in 3-D by Rhino dvd several years ago. I have a copy and they may still be available. This was a legitimate release and not a pirated one.

It's still regional coding, the world is split into regions or zones or whatever, at the end of the day it's just semantics.

This was released in 1999 and appears to have been an anaglyph version. If it was still around I'd probably buy it.

The older DVD release of THE BUBBLE used the inferior anaglyph (red/cyan) 3-D video encoding, and was also severely cropped on all four sides.

IMHO: Best to wait for the 3-D Film Archive's upcoming 3-D Blu-ray version, which is harvested from the original camera negative.

I wonder if the region 2 INFERNO 3-D blu-ray will be available to preorder via amazon.uk?

The only sellers who seem to sell Panamint blu-rays on amazon.co.uk is Panamint itself. And they don't ship outside of the UK.

The other Panamint titles are very enticing. Saw Night Train years ago at the now closed Museum of the Moving Image in London

Unfortunately, based on Kino's T&C so far, "The Bubble" is likely to be Region 1 and not shipped outside the US. Something for US 3D fans to think about whilst we're watching "Inferno" in the UK.

 

[SAM33]

So are you saying we "can't" get this release from them in the US?

Figures, the ONE 3D bluray I've really been waiting for, and I can't buy a copy.

I haven't seen everything on their site but they don't seem too keen on shipping outside the US. It may be a licensing thing they have no control over but it's still a nuisance. Lots of US companies do this and even if they'll sell it to you it may still be region coded. No wonder BitTorrent is so popular.

 

[Panamint Cinema]

What is the point of Region locking?

The region code is a restriction of the license we hold to release the Blu-ray and DVD.

It is Region B coded, and we are based in Scotland, UK. We can ship to private collectors outside UK. Outside Region B a multi-region player is required.

Panamint? Never heard of them. What kind of reputation do they have?

Good enough to be interviewed on BBC tv and radio many times, couple of examples:

Our Blu-rays and DVDs are all available to ship outside UK either from our own site or Amazon.co.uk. (There was a mistake with the Blu-rays on Amazon.co.uk, which is now corrected. Thanks for pointing that out. ) Blu-rays are also listed on Amazon.com. The odd DVD is UK and Europe only because of licensing conditions.

 

[Charles Smith]

Excellent! Thank you for following up on that and clearing it up. And now you know you have a bevy of private collectors here who are anxious to send you their money!

Sorry if I caused confusion. I was referring to Kino's release of "The Bubble" probably not being available outside the US when they finally release it.

 

[EddieLarkin]

What makes you think that? All of Kino's stuff is available from several retailers that ship outside the US.
