I've seen it for $5 for quite some time now and am wondering how much better the picture quality is.
It's $5. Less than a Wendy's combo meal.Rob Kilbride said:Thanks for the info guys. This doesn't sound like a resounding yes from the responses but am I correct that the transfer is definitely better on the Skynet Edition? Also, are all the bonus feature from the first disk on the Skynet Edition? I'd like to sell the original if I do get the Skynet Ed.
I don't have an Oppo, but in most players, you need to either have the player do the audio processing (PCM rather than bitstreaming) or turn on secondary audio (one player I have uses this approach, I think).Johnny Angell said:I just fired up the Skynet edition on my Oppo 93 for the first time. I had played the disc previously on the BD player I had before. It it still the longest loading disc I own. Sheesh.
I tried to do the PIP and I do get the PIP, but without sound. I vaguely remember there's something in the player setup I have to change. Anyone remember what that is? It's pita to have to go the the player setup just to use all the features of the disc, wish it could have been one of the selections on the disc's menu.
Yes agree the picture colour is sheer mess up and they shouldn't have released the bluray a few years ago waste of time. Same botched colour as the VHS tape and yes that was in the early '90's same as the Laserdisc the DVD and even the HD televised one I saw on Channel 4 last Christmas, only it seemed they where trying to lower down on the colour issue, but not enough,Paul_Warren said:Not worth it the PQ is horrible it never got a decent HD transfer so wait until Cameron revisits it at some time.....
A comparison here, doesn't look that great, i have the HD DVD edition which also isn't great but is a tiny slightly bit better and that's not saying much.I've seen it for $5 for quite some time now and am wondering how much better the picture quality is.
Yes, supposedly there is no difference in sound quality between bitstream and PCM. Those who like seeing the readout of DTS-HD MA or Dolby TrueHD on their receivers choose the former. Otherwise, there shouldn't be any difference.Johnny Angell said:Is this something that can be turned on and left that way? Can I still get the best audio out of the player with PCM on?
