So I wanted to start a thread dedicated to just bluray steelbooks with poor bluray transfers that include poor picture quality and or poor audio quality.
This list is ONLY for STEELBOOK BLURAYS not regular blurays. This way we know which steelbooks have blurays inside them with poorly transferred content be it poor picture quality or poor audio quality.
Im really-really hoping people will contribute to this thread and the mod's will hopefully make this thread a sticky please!
Reason I have started this is that I have regular amaray versions of movies that I now have on steelbook and since I don't keep doubles for the most part I don't wanna end up selling or giving away the regular amaray if it has the better transfer over the steelbook. Also this thread would serve purpose for those that just want the best transfer and obviously as an informational list for steelbook fans when making future steelbook purchases.
We can mange a list in the first post that will be continually updated for neat organization. When submitting a possible bluray steelbook for this list please try and remain objective and consider the technical aspects only of the transfer. Were not trying to put transfers on here that for the most part are okay or ones with a minor flaw here and there. Were trying to put transfers on this list that are just outright poor. If you object or think a bluray steelbook has made the list in error please post up and voice your reason why it is in error. We would like to keep this list as accurate and objective as possible.
When posting a bluray steelbook with a poor transfer please specify the following:
-Title of bluray steelbook
-Country of bluray steelbook
-If multiple releases then which release is the bluray steelbook
-A small description of what is wrong with the transfer
THANKS HDN!
I will start:
1) Fight Club DE. Poor picture quality and audio. The regular amaray version is much-much better.
2) Gladiator Worldwide before the recall. Way too much DNR used. Studio did a disc swap program for a new re-mastered transfer. All new releases since have the re-mastered disc.
3) Resident Evil 1 CA (Worldwide?). Just looks like an upscaled dvd picture quality wise.
4) Highlander UK. Varying degrees of picture quality from scene to scene.
5) Shogun Assaisan UK. Poor picture quality.
6)Red Cliff NL. Theatrical cut is shorter then other releases and poor audio.
7)Casino Royal DE. Poor audio quality (Dolby 5.1)
8)Tears of the Sun DE. Poor Audio quality (Dolby 5.1)
9)Faster DE. Poor Audio quality (Dolby 5.1)
10)Dusk Till Dawn CA. Poor picture quality
11)Sucker Punch DE 1st edition. German audio problem with popping noises. Disc swap program offered for replacement by studio.
12)Flash Gordon UK. Poor audio and picture quality.
13)Blade Worldwide. Wrong aspect ratio & poor picture and audio quality.
14)Kick Ass IT. Poor audio quality for English (only Dolby 5.1)
15)Equilibrium CA. Wrong aspect ratio. Cropped to 1.78.1 when it should be 2.35.1
17)The Patriot DE. Poor audio quality (Only Dolby 5.1 for English)
18)Polar Express CA. Poor picture quality (newer remastered releases have fixed this) and loss 5.1 audio quality
19)Superman Returns CA Poor picture quality (newer remastered releases have fixed this) and loss 5.1 audio quality
20)Memento CA. Newer re-mastered version was releases with better picture and audio quality
21)Akira UK. Poor picture quality
