Потому то я и относительно спокоен касаемо своей коллекции. Ведь большинство фильмов и сериалов либо считаются плохими, либо малоизвестные, либо независимые, и фиг знает когда, и если вообще, они выйдут в HD.

За сериалы можно быть вообще абсолютно спокойными. Кроме новинок будет очень мало чего выходить на БР, так что заменять фактически самую дорогую часть коллекции (я знаю, что Ленни не тяготеет к мегаизданиям с фигурками/бюстами/статуэтками) почти не придется.

ORIGINAL: Калигула

Относительно? Я думаю, можешь быть спокоен абсолютно. И надолго.
Если моя коллекция экзотична для одной шестой части суши, то твоя - для любого региона земного шара (в чём, собственно, её прелесть).

 
Не мог не сказать что каким-то странным образом было приятно слышать такой комплимент.
И вообще, успокоили меня на все сто.
 

Теперь все будут их выпускать :)
Посмотрим, что именно.

ORIGINAL: VLN

У немцев на 14 марта анонсирован выход аж 4-дискового Орешка-4:
 
Stirb langsam 4.0 - Recut - Century3 Cinedition (4 DVDs) 

 
Да, про него уже здесь говорили. Там должны быть две версии фильмов на 2х дисках, плюс бонусы второго диска Р2 UK, плюс четвертый диск к перевыпущенной трилогии ака второй диск на Р5 обрубке, с документалками к первым трем фильмам.
 
Если купили Р5 SE, Р5 Самое Крепкое Издание, и Р2 SE, то оно ненужно.

Интересно, "бонусы второго диска Р2 UK" - там тоже будут русские сабы, как на самом Р2 UK?

Ну, учитывая, что на "бонусах второго диска Р2 UK" есть и немецкие субтитры кроме прочих, то можно предположить, что этот же самый диск будет и в 4-х дисковом наборе из Германии.

ORIGINAL: VLN

Ленни, у меня вертелось в голове, что где-то проскакивало упоминание, но искать было лениво.
Думаю, напомнить о неплохом (ИМХО) издании не грех.

Тогда я точно возьму именно этого немца.

 
Да конечно, я же не писал это как претензию, просто вспомня-добавил инфу к ссылке.
А релиз, если ничего или почти ничего по этому фильму нет, хороший и удобный, все сразу и в одном.

Значит, скорее всего, таков исходник и наверно в NTSC будет все то же самое.

Сомневаюсь. Ни в одном обзоре Р1, что я читал, об этом и слова не было. А их пишут далеко не любители (Тотал, no offence)

Вот поднял ведь вам важную тему, а никто не отвечает.
 
Что лучше показывает: двд в пале с их более высоким разрешением 576 или двд в NTSC с разрешением похуже (480), но зато с 30 кадрами/сек?
 
Понятно, что качество картинки может различаться для разных фильмов и какие-то релизы лучше в NTSC, а какие-то - в ПАЛе. Но какова ОБЫЧНАЯ, типичная картина: собрались покупать какой-нибудь фильм или сериал - где будет лучше видно, в R1-NTSC или в R2-PAL? Большинство покупаемого, как ни крути, изначально произведено американскими киностудиями. Тогда, скорее всего, R1-NTSC лучше покажет? Или нет?
 
Народ, у которых многие сотни дисков! Что скажете? Проводили ли Вы сравнения качества картинки R1/R2?
 
У меня дисков тоже не знаешь, куда девать, но большинство в пале. Поэтому я пока не определился с данным вопросом.
 
Слышал, что, например, режиссерский полный вариант LOTR, 1-ая часть, по качеству картинки лучше в R1-NTSC. У меня этих дисков нет. Это правду говорят?
