The Matrix, gold and silver DVD (1 Viewer)

[Binh Vu]

I have a silver DVD, yesterday I saw another one gold color. I don't know if there's any different between silver and gold discs??? The packaging of both are "almost" the same.

Hmm... ALMOST the same? how do you mean?

Gold discs mean they're dual-layered, whci is the case for most discs. I heard that a studio (i forget whicih) got a new method that stamps doublelayered discs and keeps it silver, i dunno if its just a new pressing, or you got something fishy...

I still have both discs at home. Packaging "almost" the same, just one a bit darker than other. And in the back, there're some letters bigger than the other and one come with (something like) PC/, not on the other. Even numbers on barcode are the same.
I just wanna know which one is better to keep.

The silver dual layered dvds are supposed to be less apt to have technical glitches or laser-rot.

I would guess that the silver pressing is newer.

In the early days of DVD, Dual-layered discs, like "The Matrix" used to always be gold in color. That's no longer true; it's now possible to make silver-colored dual-layered discs.

I imagine that the discs in question are identical, content-wise, but the silver one was from a more recent batch.

Am I the only one who thinks Warner needs to release a new disc with higher bitrate/better transfer and a new DTS track? I love this movie, but technically the disc is no up to reference standards in comparison to titles being released today.

forget seeing a DTS disc. Warner tried DTS (and did it VERY poorly) and it didn't impress them

As long as the disc is in a snapper, it's 99.9999% likely to be legit if it's R1

I would love for The Matrix to be released in DTS. I would run out and buy it right away.

I would love to see a rerelease with DTS? How did Warner do DTS poorly? They released them in full bit rate which no one does anymore. For some reason Warner has recieved a bad rap for DTS but they still do support it.

Umm, no they don't. They released exactly _1_ movie with DTS since the 5 back in 2000, and that was a movie with a distribution deal

dts compression != better sound mix

I think the current AC3 track is fine; what would you improve? (besides a higher bitrate, which may or may not be noticable)
