A similar parallel are the songs Metallica "The Four Horsemen" and Megadeth "Mechanix". Mustine was credited as the songwriter on both versions.
Metallica - The Four Horsemen
Megadeth - Mechanix
The first officially recorded version was "The Mechanics" on the Metallica 1982 demo...
In early-mid 2018, Sony DADC Terra Haute's previous clients signed agreements to outsource their disc manufacturing to Technicolor's giant disc manufacturing plant in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Similar sentiments here too. Most of my disc purchases are gereric network tv shows, which are rarely ever released on bluray. If dvd ever dies for generic tv shows, it will likely be the absolute end of the line for me in terms of regularly buying optical discs.
The only titles I insist on...

I was using the MadVR renderer with media player classic. The developers behind MadVR went all in hardcore into driving the hardware of cutting edge graphics cards (which the hardcore videogamers and cryptominers buy) to do upscaling 480i -> 1080p or uhd. Though it...
The only definitive sign that the dvd/bluray market is dead, is if hardware manufacturers stop manufacturing new dvd/bluray players and discs. Especially after all the relevant patents are expired. (Over the next year or so, a standalone dvd player will be largely patent-free in most of the...
According to official American government mandated SEC 10K and 10Q filings dating back to 2020, the final price Disney paid for 21st Century Fox was around $69.5 billion. Of that $69.5 billion, Disney paid $35.7 billion in CASH (ie. cash-for-stock transaction) while the remaining $33.8 billion...
It is not even hidden. The profit motive is in plain sight, especially for the C-level suite upper management.
Below the upper management in the hierarchy, everything more likely resembles "throwing spaghetti against the wall" to see what sticks.
Great conspiracy theory here ! :popcorn:

A symphonic heavy metal band from China, doing a cover of a theme song from an early 1990s wuxia movie "The Swordsman".
The band's english name is something like "Mysterain", while the song title is something like "A Laughter In The Vast Sea" (approximately translated to english)...
Hmmmm ......
The season 4 bluray amazon listing appears to have disappeared (linked in the first post of this thread). Though the complete series bluray amazon listing is still there.
Very strange.
It appears each of Technicolor's disc pressing plants, were all run independently of one another. The IFPI 2U** plant (in Olyphant, Pennsylvania) which was pumping out all those defective cd and dvd discs, no longer exists.
A lot of equipment from the Olyphant plant was auctioned off in...
The term "catalog" has not been precisely defined in any official manner by Disney, Sony, etc .... (At least not in any legally binding manner).
So "catalog" can mean anything, in our wild speculations.
For example, is the "Oppenheimer" film considered catalog today ?
(On a more general tangent, as a long offtopic rant).
The Technicolor (formerly Cinram) plant at Olyphant, PA with IFPI 2U** mould code, was also pumping out crappy audio cd discs. Not just Warner mid->late 2000s era dvds.
There is a list of just about every audio cd disc manufactured with...
This brings back memories of the early 1990s when this song was played repeatedly on music channels/shows.
Another Soul Asylum song from that time period, which wasn't overplayed as much is "Somebody to Shove".
The soundtrack to the VH1 movie "Out of Sync" from y2k. (This film was later released on dvd under the title "Lip Service").

Going back several decades, there was the inexpensive handheld calculator. Since its introduction, mental arithmetic is a lost art to many folks under age 50.
Hmmmm ..... 4Kbluray-mod for final season.
If I had to guess, it is a small run of pressed 4Kbluray discs from Paramount's standard go-to disc manufacturer (ie. Sonopress/BMG in North Rhine Westphalia, Germany), and not burned 4Kbluray-r discs ?
Has Paramount done many recent 4Kbluray-mod titles?
(This is likely buried in the archives of a record company, if it even still exists).

Nevertheless, my remote interest in this show is to see how Jack Ryan was turned into a silly "Jason Bourne" type of action character by the show's writers. :popcorn:

Just like my first response on this thread, this assertion also reads like idle speculation. (I don't know whether Bill Hunt has any significant reliable insider sources at Paramount Global in the home video division).
In contrast, the seasons 1 and 2 4Kbluray sets were released in 2022, much later the original dvd and bluray variants in 2019-2020.
As to why the final season 4Kbluray and complete series 4Kbluray sets' listings have not appeared yet (officially), is not entirely clear at this point. Though...
Unless Bill Hunt has very good insider sources at Paramount/Viacom in the home video department, otherwise this assertion sounds like idle speculation.
