Don't be discouraged Dave, keep up the good work. It's appreciated.:)

If it's on the studio master then it's not a flaw of the disc and if it's "introduced at the point the original film was scanned in to do the effects shots", then it is an historically accurate reproduction.

It maybe useless, because your not sure if it is accurate, so you can make a judgement Doug, but I have to verify that it's exactly the same artifact I saw, when looking up close at that same frame on my theater screen. Paul

If this "EE/halo look" is actually CGI artifacting on the film, then the half a star HighDef-Digest took off , because of an EE/halo authoring effect, should be put back, giving the Video a perfect score.:rolleyes Paul

Good point Cees!:cool: This 1997 CGI artifact may very well be the norm for this type of master. With 1080P, maybe we just now, can see it.;) Paul

From Dan Ramer's review: While the disc is in "pause mode", you have to literally walk up to the screen to see this, which should make it a NON-issue. From a proper seating distance, it is invisible to the eye. I applaud Dan Ramer for reporting it.:emoji_thumbsup: Paul

All discs should be critiqued, remastered or not, improvement or not.:rolleyes: How else will we get the closest possible replication of the master? Hopefully, the studios and their disc authors, will learn from these threads. Practice makes perfect.;) Thanks Dave, for posting where the...

That was the point of my last post. HighDef-Digest took off half a star because of the EE and halo effect, but I didn't see it anywhere and I watched the whole movie. "Electronic harshness", without the studio master to compare, would have to be a matter of opinion.:rolleyes If someone finds...

The movie looks wonderful and I can honestly say I've never seen it look better. Sony has done a great job with this blu-ray disc.:emoji_thumbsup: Viewed the remastered copy this afternoon and I didn't notice EE or halos :confused:. The sharpness of the film looked natural to me, but I guess...

Yes, as far as I know. The watermark/signature "xylon@avsforum" is located in two areas - the upper left and the lower right of the frame. Paul

Link to toggle the Blu-ray MPEG-2 and the Blu-ray AVC frames: http://www.mbmg.de/hd-discs/thefifthelement_bd-vs-bdremastered/01.html The sharpness of the signature looks the same to me also, though I had to toggle both pictures several times to come to that conclusion. The only thing that...

Why would they put both English 5.1 (uncompressed) and English Dolby TrueHD 5.1 on the same disc?:confused: Are they both the same "lossless" English tracks? Paul
