I’m getting the impression this Flintstones remaster might have been a very large effort to reassemble film elements to create a new master similarly to how Star Trek The Next Generation was done for HD. And the earlier DVD sets were mastered from earlier existing elements as it was edited for...
I watched The Swimming Pool last night on my larger plasma display. It’s just amazing how good these look!
Since I feel like the later episodes are more ingrained in my memory, like what Howie is saying above about the theme music, I really am finding these first season episodes much more of a...
Eric, I am still getting into this set, I’ve only seen The Flintstone Flyer and Hot Lips Hannigan. And I have to wonder if my display is set to the vivid setting! The colors are so saturated and strong! Really amazing. So I’ll be curious to see these errors you’re finding. I’m very interested to...
Now that I got the replacement disc, I finally watched an episode of The Flintstones. Wow! I say that without hyperbole.
I have not seen the last DVD release in some time, but I have seen the recent airings on Decades or MeTV. I was very surprised by not only the clarity of the image, but the...
Thanks Thomas! I’m going to keep the old disc as well. The replacement disc will go in the blu ray case. I’ll keep the letter in the box as a souvenir. :)
Congratulations Thomas! I must really bad luck, I sent my request in a week earlier then you did and I’m still waiting. I wonder if the UPS driver knocked on your door? I’ve been working from home and I’ve not heard anyone knock or ring the doorbell. Maybe they stashed mine under a plant. Does...
Hey Thomas, thanks for the update.
Just for your information, I had sent in my email to get a replacement disc way back in November and I never received the replacement. So I re-sent a new email to request the replacement last weekend. To my pleasant surprise, I received an automated reply...
As you guys might remember, I posted that I’ve been waiting for the replacement disc since submitting my request in November. I just had a moment to resend the request, and I got a auto reply this time saying they got my request and will send me the replacement in the order it is received. So...
It’s been another week and I still have not received a replacement disc. I hope it’s still coming.
I also hope it wasn’t left on my doorstep without any notification and a crook took it. I’m home all the time, and I check If I hear anything.
That’s great you guys are getting your replacement discs. I’m wondering if I’ll ever get mine. :(
Thanks for the photo, now I know how they are being sent. I’m still waiting to watch the set as I won’t watch until I get the disc.
Thanks guys! It looks like you guys receiving discs are more Midwest and East coast so far. Or as you said, it’s first come, first served. I made my request later. So maybe I’ll see a disc arrive later. I just hope I’m in the system for a copy. I’m waiting to watch the discs until the...
Are these replacement discs all coming via DHL? Do you have to home to accept the delivery or have discs been placed in mail boxes?
I’m still waiting too.
Scott, that’s true about the experts, they still don’t know everything like the audio bits you mentioned. This is better discussed in the Star Trek thread, but the theme music thing is an odd thing. Likely due to it being standardized for syndication or something at some point.
I saw yesterday on the news a report of a woman who was a contestant on Wheel of Fortune. To solve the puzzle, there was enough letters to figure out the last part was David Bowie. But she was too young to know who David Bowie was. It only got on our local news because there is a TV news...
I recall when the first season of The Twilight Zone on blu ray came out there were several glitches and playback issues on a couple of episodes and it took several weeks for Image to acknowledge it and then two or three months before we got replacement discs. I recall I was particularly vocal on...
Has anyone heard anything about the replacement disc? I got an email from Universal for the Hitchcock Psycho replacement request and they asked me to send shipping info and a photo of the discs or receipt. I haven’t had a reply from Warner.
