About the disc, yes. About why that is : not so much. The same score could be obtained by a fugly release because a perfectly good scan has then been ran through layers and layers of digital filtering (say, the Austrian UHD of The Blood on Satan's Claw). In the first case, it's a clear cut case...

I understand that, I just think those usually makes good study cases (which then, yes, can generate possibly longer discussions that clear cut cases), beyond the "okay transfer of a 60 year-old film", but more largely about the limitations of what can or shouldn't be released on UHD. We won't...

You mean, the intellectual capabilities and time constraints of people routinely giving tech feedbacks on home video releases on a dedicated discussion board ? That looks actually like exactly the kind of insights that should be available here, and such places look like the exact kind of homes...

I certainly can appreciate that context, and it wasn't a jab at you or anything. I just wanted to emphasize how such affirmations can be sourced from informed elements, thus allowing to be more than views on things, and more of a technical diagnosis. Of course, if some are happy with what they...

These aren't subjective. A/B comparisons can be done in an objective factual manner, and a conclusion be formed. It thus can't be "if one says so", but based on facts, based on what is on those discs. And then, either people are right or they're wrong regarding whether discs are pretty much...

Aside of everything else, the ARs seem a bit more complicated here : https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.php?p=22281738&postcount=515 So while the ratio is one thing, it can be obtained with a variety of content within the frame, and seemingly a variety of geometry too.

And my answer remains that it's only looking at the label side of things, but does it make sense from a consumer and technical standpoint ? If one thinks it'd sell, would it warrant, idk, a UHD sourced from an 20 years old HD master AI-upscaled to 4K ? And then, how long before labels doing...

I do get all your arguments accounting for a re-release, but that wasn't my point. My point was about : why not just releasing this on BD instead of also doing a UHD when the source barely takes advantage of it ? If the source isn't good enough, it's just not good enough. It's fine, it happens...

Which I get, but there's probably only so many mediocre UHDs you can do before your public starts to approach your releases with more caution. It also kinda sets a low bar of quality about what a label is willing to release on a given format, which I believe never really was a service to the...

I guess the question then should be why Kino deemed it a good candidate for a UHD release considering the material available for it.
