    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Pinocchio -- in Blu-ray

    I think there's probably a bit of a double standard here. Interestingly (that you should bring up Dr. No), I *do* think something's not completely right w/ the Dr. No BD -- and have mentioned it once or twice somewhere on this forum (probably on one of the review threads). Honestly, I do think...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Pinocchio -- in Blu-ray

    "No pain, no gain..." I guess. Let's just try not to immediately demonize (or whatever) the folks who are at least ambitious enough and put in the hard work and resources into advancing the state-of-the-art in HT presentation of these cinematic classics. Yes, Disney (like most any non-profit...

    Too much back-and-forth (and escalating nastiness :eek: ) now. I just want to throw this possibility out there that might potentially help reconcile the conflicting issue at hand: Is it possible that the video compression is at fault here for at least some of the PQ issues? That is, are we...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Pinocchio -- in Blu-ray

    I think it's all (mostly) good to know. Just consider them all evidence to be factored in w/ appropriate weightings. However, one shouldn't lose sight of one's actual goal in all this. It's not good to miss the forest for a lone tree (or two). And yeah, I guess somethings are indeed better not...

    I haven't actually seen any of these cleaned up titles in action yet, but yeah, I too have some reservations about how much cleaning they did to them (judging from the frame grabs). Still waiting for Amazon to send mine out... _Man_

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Pinocchio -- in Blu-ray

    While I agree that sometimes the nitpicking can become excessive, I'd think how much any particular issue bothers each individual will vary. We all just don't experience these movies in exactly the same ways, to the same degrees, etc. etc. Some of us will find certain tiny flaws distracting...

    Gah! I knew something like this would happen as soon as I update the software on my PS3 (despite what other HTF-ers say). :angry: I had kept v2.3 (the earliest one w/ Profile 2.0, DTS-HD/MA, etc. from last summer, IIRC) and not bothered to update since I didn't see a need until I decided to try...

    All very confusing here. But I took the plunge anyway (in combo w/ the Sleeping Beauty BD) when I saw the excellent Amazon combo deal today, so hope I don't regret this one. :confused: _Man_

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Pinocchio -- in Blu-ray

    That's one of the problems w/ screen grabs shown on the web. That wise old saying about NTSC absolutely applies here. With these things, you can only observe differences, but you canNOT really tell which one is more accurate, etc. whenever color is involved -- unless the web site presenter is...
