TIER 1 - GOLD (ABC)

 

Demo Material, but minor artifacting may be present which the untrained eye may not necessarily spot. Little if any visible compression. Sharp image that has a lot of HD-POP effects. If you are thinking about buying a movie in this tier don't hesitate. Show someone one of these films and they'll want to join the Blu side!

how is the dark knight not on that list?...I thought the IMAX scenes alone made it a reference title...

probably because they havent finished voting on it since its new :wacko: that list is compiled by many members that watch the movies and then they do votes and discuss them...i am sure if its as good as you say it will end up tier 0

 

edit: just see that you found it....you can do a search for it in those forums and I am sure you will find the discussion as to why it was rated where it was...also as more people see it I have seen them make cases for a movie moving up or down in a tier and it being moved

Can you get Blue Ray from Netflix or any of those other subscription plans?

 

Yes. The majority of movies we get from Netflix are in Blu-Ray format.

 

Blu-Ray is nice. The picture quality is better. The surround sound is better too IMO. But the movie load times are a PITA. My wife hates Blu-Ray. I have learned to live with it because I appreciate the quality. Overall, I was disappointed. B-R is better...no question. But the load times and price really make you wonder if it's worth it.

I'm in the video business, and I know all this.

 

I also know that I can't tell the difference between a 6 megapixel image and a 20 megapixel image with my bare eyes unless I zoom in considerably. That's more pixels, but you wouldn't care unless you're a pro.

 

may be true, but it's beside the point. I'm certainly not a pro, and I can tell a big difference between a bluray movie and an upscaled DVD.

 

My LG upscaler doesn't create an actual HD image. What it does is minimize and mask the symptoms of playing SD video on an HD monitor, and I think it looks great. Plus, I don't have to rebuy my whole video collection. I think it's a totally viable alternative unless you like to spend money and brag to your friends about it.

 

umm, a bluray player will play all of your DVDs every bit as well as your upscaling DVD player. why would you have to rebuy anything? also, why would you feel compelled to brag to your friends about a $400 purchase?

We have a Sony. I should have done the research before buying it. It's apparently one of the slowest. The updates have helped it though.

 

I bought my parents a Panasonic BR player for Christmas. Supposedly it's much faster. We'll find out.

I'm envious. From the time I turn the BR player on, it takes around 30 seconds before I can even eject the tray. Then it usually takes another 30 seconds for the BR movie to load. Not a huge deal for me...but it drives the wife crazy.

Anyone dumb enough to purchase a movie which was famously shot on standard-def digital video on Blu-Ray deserves what they get.

 

You know what else looked lousy on Blu-Ray? Hoop Dreams. Also Season One of Mr. Belvedere.

yeah, I've seen the Sony and Samsung models in action and they are definitely the slowest......and Sharp isn't even an option right now....

 

I'm not sure about the newer Sony or Samsung models.....but I think Panasonic and Pioneer probably offer the best players aside from the PS3...

I don't know how any movie was actually filmed in "SD" since they were filming in HD quality back in the 1940's even....it's just that the masters are probably not in the best condition after all this time and the technology wasn't all there...

 

but believe it or not, the resolution available has been far beyond what we've been able to watch it at....and the older James Bond movies are a perfect example of this since they are probably the oldest movies I own on Blu...

 

nowadays they are filming with HD cameras that makes the picture more vibrant and crisp...but I don't know how any movie in the past 50 years or so can't be in HD (aside from a few beat up masters and other things that I may not know about)

I wish Avernus and Keggerz would fight to the death for the right to wear that avatar since I can't be bothered to read the names of the posters. Seriously, I thought Keg was talking to himself for about 6 or 7 posts there. :wacko:

It was shot on a standard res DV camera. Digital image with 640x480 resolution. Not film.

I have the Sony BDP S350 and load times are extremely better than the first gen of Sony players. Not sure how it compares to other branded players though. Also, never had a movie yet that won't play on it, or needed a firmware upgrade. Heard stories of some movies not playing on the PS3 and Samsung players, The Dark Knight being one of those movies.

what about hoop dreams and mr belvedere? :wacko:

 

not saying it's the case with that movie, it probably isn't, but I am sure there are things that can be done with post-processing that would take advantage of a higher resolution video output. I know this is the case with audio recordings, where they can take old mono recordings and split them into 2 channel (or 5, or more) stereo.

 

I mean, you're the one in here pimping the capabilities of your $100 upscaling DVD player....I'm sure the studios have equipment that can wring even more out of that 640x480 image than your DVD player.
