Kino Lorber vs MoC Blu-ray?

Kino Lorber vs MoC Blu-ray?

MoC and BFI differing restorations and scores

2006 Restoration: Eureka Blu-ray
1995 photochemical restoration: BFI Blu-ray that some may prefer

Eureka with Murnau institute restoration featuring score based on original score, BFI uses Photoplay restoration with James Bernard score

Both Eureka and BFI BDs are worthy of owning. Each restoration has unique positives and extras. The James Bernard score on the BFI is outstanding and the image tinting is different to how the Murnau institute official restoration was done. The Eureka MOC BD is stuffed with extras and remains one of the best made BDs of all time. Whatever you do: AVOID THE KINO BD!!! It uses the same Murnau institute restoration but drops frames for the whole feature-thus it loses a significant portion of the film! This was never acknowledged or addressed. The Kino BD remains one of the worst BDs of all time for this reason.

MoC Buster Keaton: The Shorts Collection 1917-1923 Blu-ray boxset

MoC or Kino Lorber Buster Keaton: The Shorts Collection 1917-1923 Blu-ray boxset (a newer restoration by Lobster Films compared to the older 1920-1923 boxset)

No comparison between MoC and Kino Lorber available

MoC boxset has more extras and commentary tracks, while also providing a 184-page book, a substantially better extras package compared to Kino Lorber

Kino Lorber vs MoC?

Kino Lorber and MoC same resto, no comparison

MoC or US Flicker Alley (unsure)

- Germany new 2k restoration, no subs
- US Flicker Alley not sure which restoration
