Moulin Rouge? (1 Viewer)

Is Moulin Rouge really a non-anamorphic widescreen DVD?

I this day and age, who would but out a widescreen DVD that is matted in a 4:3 window?

Edit:
DVDempire has it listed as non-anamorphic while Amazon has it listed as anamorphic - so which is it?

 

[Tony-B]

Paul, as far as I know Moulin Rouge is anamorphic.

no

 

[Matt Stone]

MR features a supurb anamorphic transfer.

der...edited for spelling.

MR features a supurp anamorphic transfer

LOL

I'm assuming your swapping of the 'b' for a 'p' is in refference to Pauls swapping a 'p' for a 'b'...

 

[Matt Stone]

Damn, I gotta remember to use that-ther' spell check function more often

...damn typos!

 

[MarkHastings]

Aw! I thought you making a joke since Paul said "who would but out a widescreen DVD that is matted in a 4:3 window?"

Replacing the 'p' in "put" to a 'b'. Oh well. It was funny in my head.

 

[ThomasC]

It's still not spelled right, Matt. Superb, not supurb.

I recently saw a one disc Moulin Rouge and a two disc version of Moulin Rouge for sale - are the transfers the same?
They seemed to be...

 

[Dave Mack]

I believe so... Curious if DTS synch issue was ever solved.

 

[Tino]

Same transfer, same dts problem.:frowning:

 

[Kevin_M_M]

what supplements are lost 2disc to 1disc and are they worth it?

 

[Angelo.M]

Same transfer.

 

[Malcolm R]

Isn't the single-disc package simply Disc 1 of the two-disc package? If so, then you're losing everything that's on Disc 2.

 

[Michael Martin]

what supplements are lost 2disc to 1disc and are they worth it?

From what I understand, the only "extras" on the single-disc version are the commentaries. Disc 2 of the 2-disc set had the great bulk of the extras.

I think it is absolutely worth it. Disc 2 is simply loaded with extras - BTS, marketing, Easter eggs, you name it.

If you're only a mild fan of the film, the single-disc version might suffice. If, like me, you love it, the 2-disc is a MUST HAVE.

The 2-disk set is going OOP, so grab it if you want it.


Peace Out~

Another enthusiastic vote for the 2 disc edition, one of the finest DVD's ever produced IMO! It's still one of the best film's in my collection even after a year and three months!

 

[Aaron Cohen]

What is the DTS problem? I have heard about this for months and months now and have asked several times but never got an answer....I have a reciever (STR-DA4ES) but have not bought speakers yet so I am unable to test out the track yet. What's the problem?

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

Aaron,

there is a slight delay in the lip synch on the DTS track, the actors voices don't match with their lips, kinda like an old kung fu flick only not as bad.

 

[Ron-P]

Aaron, it's not a problem with the disk alone, but a combo of the disk with certain players. I have a JVC and have no lip-sync problems.


Peace Out~
