I have a HLD-X0 in great condition for sale Mail me at ninjur (at) gmail (dot) com

Why are there STILL people that have not got a region free player? It is rather stupid not to get it when so much good stuff are on R2.

I totally agree! To me it is almost like releasing a 1.85:1 movie in 2.35:1 just because "people like it better". BU have given us many great transfer but why on earth do they not incl the original soundtrack lossless? Now I must RIP my own BD to the computer and rip my old DVDs to sync it so I...

Great, I will pick it up.

With no original mono soundtrack this release it worthless according to me, nothing better than a P&S version. This really sucks.

So this release do NOT have the original mono soundtrack of the early films?

I hope it will have the original mono soundtrack too? In PCM?

Well, I think it is a big difference if speaker A color the sound "5%" and speaker B "64%". Yes, both color the sound but there is a BIG difference how much and clearly one is MUCH more correct.

This review say something else about the soundtrack. So what is right?

Well, I don't really know what you are saying here: "When volume matched, what is immediately clear is that the BD has a significantly lower noise floor. In fact the CD can’t even match it. The background of the BD is quieter, darker, and noiseless. The higher noise floor was audible when...

Seriously, don't this DVD have the original mono soundtrack?

Great news. What company is releasing it? Is the dutch VHS version also a R-rated version?

I don't agree with you Leo. All speakers are not coloring the sound as much as each other. Some speakers are CLEARY less colored than others and have a lot less distortion. So there are some speakers that are more correct than other.

Bob Ludwig don't master vinyl anymore.

Either you had have a really bad cartridge or your table had a really bad setup for the cartridge. And about the question, I would buy a turntable, if I didn't have one. But my VPI HW-19MK4 works really great and I listen to some of my 2000+ vinyls everyday.

I will look out for the LD then :)

Well, it depends. Do you want something that sounds good, or just some cool stuff? If you want something that sounds good, look for a Rega, Music Hall or any other good quality, cheap tables. That would be much better.

Only R-rated? Was the VHS unrated or the Japanese LD?

The criterion DVD (and LD) is the version to have. The right ratio, right color and no contrast boosting like the MGM version.

WHY are you thinking about buying a movie you hate?? Are you collection HD titles only or do you care about film at all?

Bruce, intresting that the DVD have so bad audio.

I have the LD, it looks really good. I would guess the DVD is in same quality?

Travis, I don't find it off at all. In most scenes I think the LDs are WAY better than the crappy dvd. From what I have read the director wanted a very colourful movie, almost as a comic. But that aside, the contrast boosting is crap and just that make the Elite going to the trash IMO. There are...

Howling 3 is maybe not the best movie in the world, but it is stupid fun and a must for people wanting to have the complete series. This is the versions I have tested: Japan CBS FOX - Laserdisc USA IVE/Image - Lasderdisc USA Elite - DVD They are some big difference...

I don't agree on that on some of the shots. 1,2 and 5 shot I vastly prefer the LD's better image over the murky and dark DVD.

I did a fast comparison test between the old LD and the new DVD screenshots from dvdbeaver. First you have the DVD then the LD

I prefer open matte transfer over a over matt transfer.

For example, both David Cronenberg and Paul Verhoeven are directors that prefer 1.66:1 ratio on many of their movies (Crash, Robocop, etc) but these are mostly seen in 1.85:1 in theaters and DVD's. So what is showed in theaters are not always that right ratio and I find it strange that theaters...

The CLD-604 is a american player and only plays NTSC disc. Look for a CLD-925, CLD-2950, for a NTSC and PAL player. I don't think there is any SECAM disc's and player ever release. I have to heard about it.

Just watched CoT and is it "only" when they are trown backward that are missing? This I just love this scene later on: Great little movie.
