The DVD doesn't have an altered picture but it only has the altered 5.1 track and not the mono that is on the Blu-ray.

Funny, people are praising the DVD which only has a 5.1 or stereo re-mix of the film. This Blu-ray includes the original Oscar nominated mono track. There are no editorial changes to the picture, just a different color palette which the director prefers. The re-mix done had all sorts of replaced...

The original series set will be awesome with the original effects in HD and the mono tracks.

The only non-Trek music in that trailer is the music used in the beginning. It's "Neptune" from The Planets, by Gustav Holst.

The previous DVD was about 10db over reference level if I'm not mistaken.

Is the sound still too loud, like the DVD?

Too bad they still can't find the deleted footage that Frankenheimer talks about on the commentary.

These are the same deleted scenes ported over from the current DVD. Scenes from the longer version of the film (Spock crying, ordering the self-destruct) are not included here, as both scenes were included in The Director's Edition.

Where's Star Trek?

The restored 35mm prints will be playing at the Aero in Santa Monica later this month. mastercalendar

Two completely different divisions that more than likely never ever ever talked to each other. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

Because they are minor and inconsequential.

And the same composer.

StarTrek.com has this mp3 commentary track with David C. Fein, Michael Matessino and Daren Dochterman talking about Star Trek: The Motion Picture and "The Director's Edition". Perhaps that will answer some of the questions asked here. STARTREK.COM*:*Article

I'm told that when the Ilia probe first appears in the sonic shower, Robert Wise asked something to the effect of "Why do I care about the temperature?". That combined with the male computer voice talking over the first mention of "V'ger" led to the removal of the computer voice. So yes, Wise...

It wouldn't surprise me also if these discs came with free passes to the new Star Trek movie.

I love Starship Troopers. I saw a 35mm print of it and Total Recall the other night. See the connection?

Nice that Sony are issuing a replacement disc, but there really should be a total recall on Starship Troopers. ;)

So has anyone else noticed that the 5.1 mix on Thunderball is different from the previous DVD UE release and is in fact much closer to the surround mix on the 1996 laser disc and later AC-3 LD and first DVD? The overly loud sound effects leading to the SPECTRE meeting room heard on the UE are...

Could the title of this thread be updated to show that this is the 2005 version and not the 1933 (or 1976) versions?

Well it's not a problem, so I guess you'll just have to deal with the way a 46 year old movie was made.

That is a deliberate creative decision made in 1962 to speed the scene along.

Did you get to compare the sound in the YouTube clip with the 2.0 track on the DVD yet? YouTube - Vertigo - mono opening scene

The promo code is on the back of the sticker that is affixed to the shrink wrap.

Nothing was done to lighten up the clip. It's from "The Masterpiece Collection".

Here's the opening scene in mono. You can compare it to the DVD 2.0 track and this should convince you that the new DVD is incorrect. YouTube - Vertigo - mono opening scene

It is a matte painting and I noticed it long before the Lowry transfer.

Yes, I do.

Wouldn't the sharper picture also be an indication?
