    DYRL- Blu Ray format

    in Movies and TV Series

    Posted

    It will cost BW a lot to do it, but if they are smart they'll commission a sub and dub to be included with the movie and they'll recover their money through export sales in no time. They should also get a North American restoration house to do it. Experience will cost them less and the results will be far superior to anything an inexperienced Japanese company could do (hence the last release of DYRL on DVD!).

    Since BW doesn't care about fans outside of Japan, I doubt they'd do anything. They won't spend alot of money properly restoring DYRL? They don't have to. It would probably just be shovelware if they did release it. "Macross otaku will buy anything" is their thought process. <_<

    I dunno if I'd buy yet another copy of DYRL?...Old anime on Blu-ray has yet to wow me. The current DVD of DYRL? is a little over a year old, we probably won't see a Blu-ray for awhile or maybe never.

    And they seem to be doing something about it, considering there seems to be less and less breakage as its going on (going from TONS of breaks on the -1S to ONE for each subsequent release is a pretty good ratio from what I can see).

    Deeming the whole V2 1/60 line "not worth buying" just because a few have broken is EXTREMELY short sighted considering were just at the very infancy of the line itself. That's like writing off all SV-51s simply because a few Ivanovs had floppy wings.

    Sorry, floppy wings are not broken shoulders. The wing maybe loose but it's not broken. All of I've seen from this new line of 1/60s is broken shoulders and DIY fixes that the dopes at Yamato should have done in the first place. Screw that. I'll spend my entertainment dollar elsewhere.

    bandit29's probably gonna throw something out the window when he hears this... :ph34r:

    haha ya I have this...kill me.

    Coheed and Cambria's version of the Trooper is almost as brutal lol music isn't bad but...

    There's a few good covers on that Maiden Heaven CD. Metallica "Remember Tomorrow", Machine Head "Hallowed Be Thy Name, Dream Theater "To Tame a Land" and Black Tide "Prowler" are probably the best.

    Well we knew this was coming..

    Warner Home Video has announced that they will bring 'Batman: The Motion Picture Anthology' to Blu-ray on March 10th. This box set will feature the four Batman feature films made between 1989-1997 - 'Batman', 'Batman Returns', 'Batman Forever', and 'Batman & Robin' - in 1.85:1 1080p VC-1 accompanied by 5.1 Dolby TrueHD soundtracks.

    This five-disc set (one of the films will come a two-disc set, while the others will only be one BD-50) features the following special features:

    * 18 Hours of Must See Profiles, Documentaries, and Making-of Featurettes

    * Director's Commentary by Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher

    * 9 Music Videos

    One of these films will be worth it, one might be worth it and the other two, no matter what definition they are, will still be terrible..lol

    1. Iron Maiden - Live After Death

    2. Pantera - Far Beyond Driven

    So, does anyone still care about this series? Despite all the backlash and low ratings, NBC still continues to keep the show afloat. This month, the new season kicks off with three key characters being killed off. Yawn.

    This show is awful. Now there's going to be an evil transformer or some arch rival in the series..ugh

    A preview was shown during the NFL playoff games on Saturday.

    For what it's worth, I was about to shell out for a full-fledged home theater pc when I came across this:

    WD TV

    You just connect any usb hard drive to this thing, and it can spit video out over an hdmi cable in 1080p. It does read subtitles from mkv containers, but it isn't as nicely formatted as MPC can give you and it's kind of hit and miss with some codecs (particuarly DTS encoded sound ... hoping the next patch fixes that) ... still, for $99 I'd recommend it to anyone.

    Anyway, anyone looking to save yourself a LOT of trouble re-encoding these things just to watch them on your TV might want to give this a look. :)

    Ah so this does play MKVs. I was wondering when I saw this earlier. I'm kind of tired of converting videos all the time for the PS3. Does it show the stylized subtitles (that are usually in fansubs) or just plain white text?

    anyone that needs help converting

    I've been converting to M2TS files with hard subs for use on the PS3.

    That cover from Children of Bodom is so awful. Their version of "Talk Dirty to Me" is nails on a chalkboard too. Both of those are on the JP version of "Are You Dead Yet?

    COB do a version of "Aces High" and "Shot in the Dark"..that aren't good either lol

    Good band otherwise. They put on a good live show.

    Someone else already mentioned it, but often "special editions" like this are test runs. It is entirely possible that Oshii is working on a movie that will use a lot of the programs and/or techniques they used for the redone footage here.

    Ya you are probably right but the new intro with the Major looks so cheap. Reminds me of the CG from early PS2 games..I wouldn't want to see a whole movie like that..

    Just watched it.. thought it was ok. The added CG kind of sticks out but I've seen this movie many times over the years. The new soundtrack mix is done well.

    But why? Whats the point? I don't think fans were sitting around thinking " Yeah this movie would be better if it looked more like Innocence"

    Maybe Oshii should redo Innocence to look more like the first GITS movie..

    or should start work on the next GITS movie..one that has the Major in it for more than 10 minutes and in her normal body..
