4K Blu-ray

Arrow includes three audio tracks, matrixed stereo, discrete 4.0, and a 5.0 surround remix. Unfortunately, only the first one is usable. The 4.0 desyncs partway through. The 5.0 has incorrect (lower) pitch. Fortunately, the matrixed stereo track sounds great, but it is still a major disappointment.

There has been no replacement disc announced. See nicwood's BR post.

But their grade doesn't exceed 100 nits, it's just SDR.

> Sony International, both a huge step up from old Blu-ray, but Sony international applied additional filtering: https://slow.pics/c/Cba9eFdD

Also they are cropped to 1.78 from 1.85

Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray or France 4K Blu-ray for the extras?

(slightly better than the old 4K)

DTS-HD MA 5.1 (to 4K Blu-ray: -125ms)

Britain Blu-ray has an exclusive extra

Universal has burnt-in English subs for Germany dialogue, slightly different HDR and color grading to the StudioCanal.

> Criterion US, better encode on the UK disc

Paramount/Universal 4K Blu-ray but: it has a few shots that are blurrier than the older Blu-ray, for unknown reasons see BR post.

Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray is a poor new master with digital anomalies like smearing, flattening etc.

The DTS-HD 5.1 from some of the international Blu-rays and the TrueHD 5.1 on the 4K Blu-ray are similar.

(original is missing LFE)

Old Sony DVD has an isolated score

Sony Pictures US set 4K Blu-ray has DV

Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray is a disaster. The compression on the base layer is horrid, and the oversized 18 Mbps FEL barely helps.

Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray includes original matrixed Dolby Stereo mix, albeit lossy, and a 5.1 surround upmix. The stereo track on previous BD and DVD releases is also lossy and sounds about the same.

Missing extras on the old Blu-ray trilogy box set
