    Do studios duplicate/replicate their Blu-rays in house or do they use a separate company?

    I am late 70 but am not the least bothered by "black-bars". I feel that much of the public is DUMB. While I live in Germany , I am not typical Germany or American but am educated retired programmer.

    Did I buy a blu ray meant for another country and the US?

    According to the 1st post, the disk is a Blu Ray and it is therefore NOT PAL or NTSC. It appears that this BR disk is a region free Blue Ray disk

    Did I buy a blu ray meant for another country and the US?

    I agree 100%. IF the disk plays on your "region 1" player - you do not need to replace it. IF it doesn't play then of course it should be replaced. What really counts is does the disk play? It doesn't matter what the package says. - a "US Release" means that is will play on a US machine. I have...

    International BLU-RAY DISCS FROM GERMANY

    I think my question brings up a point. IF someone has information that IS NOT NEAR the post making a comment, they should state WHERE they are quoting. In my case, it was NOT even in the current thread. When someone quotes something that is not near the current post. then they MUST state where,

    Upgrading from DVD to blu

    I have a Loewe TV with circa 32" PAL screen. BR gives me a slightly better picture. I could have gotten a slightly bigger screen but I didn't due to the $$$ or €€€. The bigger the screen will also give more problems.My TV being that it is made in Europe can do more than the US made TV. PAL or...

    Rear Window, Vertigo, & The Birds Arrive the Same Day!

    If All your disks do this, I suspect the player. IF only 1 disk has this problem, I suspect the disk. I would also suggest a neighbor trying your disk. This is not a normal problem I have normal DVDs which I can play on my PC and also a BR player (region 2) and I have never had this problem.

    Rear Window, Vertigo, & The Birds Arrive the Same Day!

    What film are you talking about? I don't understand "RW". I think "RW" stands for "Rear Windows". I tried it and it takes a few seconds after the logo display, the options start. I don't seem to have your problem. I suspect that it is your player. I have a modified LG BP325W player that I got...

    Rear Window, Vertigo, & The Birds Arrive the Same Day!

    I tried this on my PC with the 2 JPGs and found them both the same with the full screen versions.

    Rear Window, Vertigo, & The Birds Arrive the Same Day!

    Since the pictures that I see on my TV-screen is "OK" and what I would expect - I see no need to "calibrate" my TV as The picture is OK. If someone gets a picture that is not expected - they should do it. By me on my TV, "The Man Who..." and "Family Plot" both look good. Therefore I see no...

    Rear Window, Vertigo, & The Birds Arrive the Same Day!

    I realize that Blu-Ray is not NTSC or PAL but why are there differences then- I still believe TV set quality may be a factor. There are differences. One person say something is bad and another disagrees???? I don't understand the statement "TV quality is irrelevant as it is a source issue"-

    Rear Window, Vertigo, & The Birds Arrive the Same Day!

    There may be other factor. My TV is a German company "Loewe" which according to the germans is (one of) the best brands sold in Germany. It may be that I am in "PAL land". How do other people in England and in Germany get this film? The TV quality may be a factor.

    Rear Window, Vertigo, & The Birds Arrive the Same Day!

    I live in Germany and have gotten a "Hitchcock" box from England. My only comment is most of the things that many people complained (but not all) of such films as "The Man That Knew Too Much" and the Family Plot. The subtitles of Marnie was bad. I liked the Man and Family Plot. I found no films...

    Opera & Classical Music on Blu-ray

    I am a real big fan of Classical musik. I live in Munich and am lucky to have the Bayerische Staatsoper and the Bayerische Rundfunk orchestra. About half on my DVDs/BR are classical. Due to lack of T I M E and will write more. My first opera at Bayreuth was the Parsifal but sad to say it was...

    I am sure this a coding error. One should check the location of the people having this problem. I am sure that where I am in Germany I don't have this problem. Perhaps in the code where this check occurs, if someone is a member exit immediately. Maybe this test is done in a subroutine and can be...

    As I have previously stated, I am in Germany and don't get this problem. Perhaps the problem is where the person having the problem is ,located since it seems that many do not have this problem. I would check into that logic.

    International Region free Blu-ray

    I am not familiar with the Oppo 103 or the Oppo DV-981.. I assume they can read "region Free" DVDs and Blue rays BUT can it read and play on a US TV a 50 cycle region free disk. See my post earlier (post 5). The 50 cycle has nothing to do with "a good quality" player and many region free players...
