There has been a very good 4K on iTunes for quite a while.

That Spellbound disc is well known to fail.

In the meantime Hail and Morgan's both have HD digitals which are definitely superior to the DVDs.

After watching the opening scene of “Kiss the Blood off My Hands” on the Criterion channel, the great cinematography of Russel Metty prompted me to order the Kino disc. So glad I did. Excellent commentary by Jeremy Arnold - someone new to me. Hope to hear more by him. Well done Kino!

There's a 3D edition of Terminator 2?

Superb film. Amazing transfer. What a privilege.

Criterion flash sale live.

Also a DVDPEDIA user. The only thing I use Windows for is Harmony software. Perhaps I should add Profiler, but I use Pedia so often that I can’t imagine booting into Windows that often.

Appreciated. Even better, because that 1080 was very far superior to the DVD. A lot of ripping going on. I envy you guys. Need to get myself educated.

Thank you. I based that comment on the following post from Feb 7

This is great to hear regarding this restoration, but I can’t understand why it’s not being released. World premier three years after the work was done? Its’s wonderful the work was done for preservation, but If it’s not going to be released, who was this restoration for? If a film is restored...

Yes long time coming indeed. And I’m not sure why as I think this restoration is well over two years old now. In the US this version streamed for a while when the HBO max service first launched with a ton of classic films. I was lucky enough to catch it. It looked magnificent.

Unless it’s another To Catch a Thief.

Much appreciated explanation. Thank you so much for not eq-ing it to death.

Maybe I missed something. Is this an improvement on the Classic Flix disc?

I agree that the music track is very distorted. It is a shame with such great music. I wouldn't know where the distortion got introduced, but I doubt it's due to any cranked up speed. You're correct that it is sharp, but only by 13 cents - well within pitch tolerance for the time.

Glad it’s in a museum, even if it is a private one.

Amazing!!! Value? Maybe 10,000 pounds??? 50,000 pounds easy. These billionaire watch guys will pay anything.

What I’d really like to know is how does the 4K look compared to the HD.

Much appreciated as always, but under $19? The Blu-ray is under $19, but the 4K is over $26. I already own Kino's previous Blu.

Darn you! I almost resisted double dipping, and then you had to go and mention the McBride commentary. :)

I wouldn’t know.

Maybe I missed something, but is there an obligation regarding Captain Blood?

That is interesting.

Quite possible, but whatever they did, the two look very different. I much prefer the Kino.

I just checked my iTunes Fistfull and Few Dollars. They both appear to be indistinguishable from the MGM Man With No Name trilogy BDs

Thank you!! I just checked and you are absolutely correct. As iTunes is the only other 4k version, and as it became available more or less the same time as the Kino 4K, I assumed this was the same transfer, but it is not. The iTunes is the old MGM, just in 4K instead of HD. There are several...

I doubt there are any valid screencaps. As they are the only two 4K versions, I strongly suspect they’re the same transfer. I’ll try to take a peek.

I just watched Far Country. Unfortunately I must disagree with Capt D. I never saw the DVD, so I can’t speak to that, but this Blu-ray is one of the worst BD images I have seen, undeniably worse than a high quality DVD. Watching with the commentary on a 55” flat panel was fine, but for...

There is an iTunes HD of Tin Star. I haven’t looked at it yet, so I can’t comment on the transfer.
