    International Arrow Video Press Release: DUNE (1984) (4K UHD)

    It also played flawlessly in my Panasonic UB9000.

    International Arrow Video Press Release: DUNE (1984) (4K UHD)

    Thanks Josh. The problem appears to be related to Dolby Vision, but is it the authoring of the disc, the player, or the display that's at fault? Arrow is investigating on their end but I haven't heard back from them yet. I will say that I've never had a playback issue with my setup until this DV...

    International Arrow Video Press Release: DUNE (1984) (4K UHD)

    I received a replacement set from Amazon today and am seeing the same problem. Whenever I attempt to play the 2005-produced extras on the UHD disc, I get Dolby Digital audio but NO video at all. Just a black screen. Obviously not a defective disc issue unless they're ALL defective. So, I played...

    International Arrow Video Press Release: DUNE (1984) (4K UHD)

    I thought that the color grading difference between the 4K and the old Universal Blu was quite striking, with the win (IMO) going to the new 4K release.

    Thanks for clarifying. I thought it was a typo. ;)

    International Arrow Video Press Release: DUNE (1984) (4K UHD)

    I think that Panasonic issues firmware updates when necessary, especially for their flagship player. The fact that these supplements play fine on Angelo's UB9000 points to it being a defective disc. Unfortunately, I don't have a different machine to test it on. EDIT: I emailed Arrow this...

    Thanks Angelo. No bueno for me. Maybe I have a defective disc. I'll contact Arrow and see what they have to say.

    International Arrow Video Press Release: DUNE (1984) (4K UHD)

    I have the North American release, so I seriously doubt it. Still not showing any video for me though. Weird.

    Thanks for the info Angelo. What player do you have? I'm using a Panasonic UB9000.

    International Arrow Video Press Release: DUNE (1984) (4K UHD)

    I watched my copy today, and IMO the 4K UHD is a huge improvement over Universal's Blu-ray. I doubt that Dune will ever look any better than this. However, there are problems with some of the supplemental material. I get audio only when I play the following extras on the 4K UHD disc: Designing...

    International Arrow Video Press Release: DUNE (1984) (4K UHD)

    I agree. My comment was pretty much tongue-in-cheek.

    International Arrow Video Press Release: DUNE (1984) (4K UHD)

    That's correct, but the Blu-ray of bonus materials could be region-locked. I'm just wondering how much this film will lend itself to 4K. Every iteration I've seen of it is fairly soft and grainy, and it contains LOTS of opticals.
