filmmusic 1,838 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 4.90 EuroYeah! Hmmm..I'm afraid if you bought the Bluray with this cover, it's the old release.There is a remastered one with this cover:The audio is now Lossless (DTS- HD MA 5.1) in comparison with the lossy Dolby Digital of the old release, and the video is encoded in AVC with a higher bitrate in comparison to VC1.Moreover the remastered film is placed in a BD-50, and not in a BD-25 like the old release..

A24 4,345 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I actually bought the blu-ray with this cover:It was cheap so it could be the old version. I'm going to check the IQ right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,345 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Okay, my Toshiba Blu-ray player won't play it. It says "Wrong disc"! Luckily, the PS3 has no problem with it.

Yes, it's the old release but as long as you're fine with it...I was thinking of purchasing the trilogy box, although i haven't seen the 2nd and 3rd film.Actually I had seen the first half or something from the 3rd film in my childhood. I don't remember anything, i just remember I liked it!But I'm not sure why i didn't see it all. Maybe it was late (after midnight) and i slept? something like this.

Mr. Brown 91 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Finally bought this, after reading that it'll be out of print soon:They go out of print quickly?Depends, I think. There are three versions of OBSESSION from Arrow: limited edition (comes with the poster, script book, reversible sleeves), standard and then some sub-standard version with no extras.The limited edition is on it's way out, but the other versions will still be available.Arrow's a pretty nice company, almost as good as Criterion.

Marian Schedenig 8,207 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 "Remote-in-hand clusterfuck" just means that it has dynamic range. Yes, it is difficult to watch it for that reason (at least if you have neighbours), but if you want loudness war style film mixes, just set the dynamic compression on your amp to max.

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yeah if I still had my little bachelor pad in town it'd be fine. I used to absolutely blast my movies with DTS etc back then, it was awesome. But now I'm down to me 2.1s and I have to try and keep the noise down a lot! Which is very difficult with the Master and Commander mix. There are no alternative mixes on the disc unfortunately, which is relatively uncommon.

Marian Schedenig 8,207 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 It's the reason why I haven't yet upgraded to the Blu-ray actually. But modern amps usually have a setting for dynamic compression, which should help you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
