It’s on iTunes on 4k
The last year was very disappointing for catalog titles on 4K disc. The studios ignored some pretty big anniversaries for movies like Gone with the Wind, Ben-Hur, North by Northwest, Sleeping Beauty, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Mad Max, The Abyss, Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, Speed, Fight Club, and many more which would've seemed like no-brainers for 4K releases.Where is the 4K UHD Disc for the 50th Anniversary ???? It's Not one of my Favorite westerns, but still No upgrade ? The Wild Bunch is a Favorite and No 4K UHD 50th Anniversary release either ! ?? : (
Vinyl isn't all that big. It's on track to sell about $500 million this year, compared to about $7 billion for music streaming. For movies and television, physical media sales are around $3 billion, versus $13 billion for streaming services.I can’t understand how turntables and vinyl records are being sold everywhere but movies are struggling
vinyl is a monumental pain in the arse . Cartridges are expensive and have to be changed every 2000 hours . Records themselves are plagued with issues : I used to return at least 30% of em for various manufacturing defects such as warps, off centre pressings, non fill , dished records (except Japanese pressings which are physically perfect but don’t always have original master tapes as sources)
sure analog mastered vinyl is trumps for sound quality but it’s an expensive hobby and it seems to be thriving
It’s on iTunes on 4k
He’s talking about “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” being in 4K without any HDR on iTunes. We all know that “The Wild Bunch” is only in HD on iTunes.Sorry, but iTunes does not have The Wild Bunch in 4K.
I double checked
Tested on a gigabit connected 4K AppleTV with 4K display.
There is no indication of anything beyond "HD"
iTunes has what looks like the same (sad) transfer used for the 2007 VC-1 (18 Mbps) blu-ray disc
...and it includes the white border line at top bottom left right edges of the picture area.
The low bitrate might indicate a simple port of the HD-DVD release.
I've seen the bright, beautiful 70mm print twice, and it's clear that
a new release could be so much better
I'd like nothing better than a great 4K release but at this point we have nothing close.
cheers
