Video Notes:

Geoff D review.

Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray disappointing - Avoid. Terrible release. Another Kino-grade encode with a huge DV layer. The Lionsgate Limited Steelbook has a different disc with exclusive bonus discs and apparently another poor encode but they also messed up the DV metadata and made that disc unwatchable with DV enabled.

Best Audio:

US releases for the original audio

Pay per view version audio is on the UK Entertainment in Video Blu-ray and the France M6 Video 4K Blu-ray

Sony 4K Blu-ray vs UK Entertainment One 4K Blu-ray vs France M6 4K Blu-ray?

Director: Joshua Oppenheimer

Best English-Friendly:

UK Dogwoof Blu-ray vs US Drafthouse Blu-ray: see below

Best Video & Audio:

DE Koch Media

Video Notes:

DE Koch Media is presented in the correct 25fps and is likely better compressed than UK Dogwoof (29 vs 14 Mbps), but it doesn’t have English subtitles.

US Drafthouse is in 24fps for Region A compatibility, and is encoded at around 30 Mbps.

(Although bitrate does not solely determine the quality of the encode, the difference is large enough here and there are no publicly available caps.)

No info on the JP VAP Blu-ray.

Audio Notes:

DE Koch Media and US Drafthouse feature a lossless 5.1 track. Dogwoof offers only AC-3.

Director: Roman Polanski
