A Robert Harris Bits Extra - Lawrence of Arabia: Superbit (1 Viewer)

[Craig Beam]

Tom, I had the same problem... until I joined Columbia House, that is.

jim.vaccaro,
Could that be where the layer change is? I know superbit's use seamless branching to eliminate the layer change.

 

[jim.vaccaro]

Hmm, I don't know. It's a puzzler to me as why this is there, and why this one file has the same scene in it twice. Weird.

 

[Travis Brashear]

Yup, it went out of print about 3 weeks ago.

I hope they reissue a new disc with the Superbit color correction, but with the Intermission on Disc One.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

As I recall reading, the people at Sony along with Robert Harris thought long and hard about where to split the discs, and in the end decided that the higher image quality was worth having the disc change somewhere other than the intermission. Since that was intentional, I'd kinda be surprised if they went back and changed it.

 

[ScottR]

I'd rather have the Intermission split where it is supposed to be. Maybe I'll just pick up the original disc.

 

[Travis Brashear]

The Superbit looks way, way, way, waaaaay better.

 

[Robert Harris]

The original discs make wonderful coasters.

Simple, elegant and shiny, they look right for any occasion.

RAH

To be fair, as I mentioned before, the "Archives of Arabia" DVD-ROM supplement is the only DVD-ROM supplement that I've ever wanted to look at twice. It is very cool for fans of the film looking for historical background and production information. I keep the Superbit release near my HT at all times and the original 2-disc release near my computer.

Plus, who wants a coaster with a hole in the middle ruining the finish of their furniture, anyway. The single disc movie only release makes a nifty mini-frisbee, though.

Regards,

After seeing in this thread that the Superbit was OOP, I saw it was still listed at BestBuy.com and quickly put in an order. It was backordered, and I figured, oh well, eventually they'll just cancel my order, but what the heck.

That was the beginning of August. Late last week, I got an e-mail that it was shipping, and today, it showed up in my mailbox in all its Superbit glory!

Unfortunately it no longer is listed at BestBuy.com.

I completely agree - I do this as well.
