Have they mentioned yet when we can expect the rest of The Sweeney on BD?

I ordered the US set from Amazon and had it shipped to Norway. I asked if it was possible for them to ship to me in the first mail I sent. That was promptly ignored in the form mail I got as a reply, asking me for my address and the ID numbers of the discs. I sent them that and asked again, but...

The review over at blu-ray.com mentions that a section of Murder on the Links looks noticeably worse than the rest. Could you check to see if it looks like they used an upscale of the old video master?

All of the original BSG was posted on film, so it should cost considerably less to release on BD than The Next Generation.

Perhaps it was a prototype without safety precautions? :) The whole plot with the magnet from the first episode was worse. Hell, there already are magnets in the header construction in mechanical HDs.

Do you think they'd be willing to ship replacements abroad? I asked about it in the e-mail address that was provided, but just got the form letter in return.

8192 x 3706 = 30359552 pixels. Each pixel is made up of a 24 bit colour code, so 30359552 * 24 = 728629248 bits per frame. 24 frames per second for 60 * 222 seconds gives us a total of 232928198000640 bits for the film. Divide by 8 to get 29116024750080 bytes and then divide that by 1024^4 to...

More like 26.48TB. That's a raw 24 bit file, and it's probable they scanned at higher colour depths.

This is the sort of thing for which BD-Live would be useful. They could just release a patch to fix the menu logic.

Network recently posted the following on their Facebook page regarding future releases of The Bill: Sounds good. I was getting tired of the 13 episode sets.

The show may have been shot in 1080p25, but it'd have to be converted to 1080i50 for broadcast and UK BD release since neither support the 1080p25 format. My guess is they simply took the UK BD master and ran it through a cheap converter to get 1080i60 video to release in the US. They had the...

Anyone got any comparisons between the 2.35:1 and 16:9 versions of the first film? Sucks that you got it on BD-25s, the Scandinavian BD-50 release looks a lot better. :)

So, as I understand it, the TV version is now on one single-sided BD? Hard to believe they could put over 5 hours of HD video on one BD without compromising the picture quality. Looks like they lost the rights to the introductions Bergman did to his films for SVT.

Haven't seen this anywhere so if anyone else is wondering.. The 6 videotaped episodes have been upscaled to 1080i60 meaning the fluid look of the field based video has been kept. Before the release, I had only seen references to the video being in 1080p so I thought they had done something...

The trilogy was originally planned as one theatrical film and two mini-series to be shown on TV. Because of the success of the first film, the minis were cut down from their original 3 hours versions and turned into films as well. Since they were originally TV productions, perhaps they were...
