Thanks man, I hope so. I just keep getting automated email responses.

I also encourage anyone else who bought this to do the same.

Any other flawed disc reviews you guys have would be great; I would be glad to make this a campaign.

I voted "helpful"... i assume that's what you mean in "voting it up".... Shame. If it's worth doing... it's worth doing right. And that flick does bring back H.S. Memories...

On a few of my disc's I get this wierd Motion Blur with things like faces or people moving. Would this be a flaw with the transfer or maybe something more likely wrong with my set?

i have the Enter The Dragon blu-ray and it does have a few scenes with some poorly mastered details. But for the most part, it looks amazing! the colors are impressive and it's a great deal as you can usually find it for around $15.

Check out these direct screengrabs of Enter the Dragon at full size on a digital monitor:

With the noticable amount of jaggies, the transfer falls very short of "amazing."

i also said there were several scenes that didn't look that good. but for the price, and the unlikelyhood of a double dip, i doubt we will see a better version anytime soon.

As with the Lionsgate titles where this happened with the effective resolution was cut in half (like Enter the Dragon) I consider these titles critically flawed.

The thing is, the entire movie is 960x1080, not just parts of it - and the whole thing is aliased.

IMO a superb DVD upconverting player like the Pioneer BDP-51FD Blu-ray player w/latest firmware would do a better job with the latest DVD edition of Enter the Dragon than we see with the Blu-ray. The detail may not be as good, but at least you don't get stuck with the pixelated-jaggies look.

I see, thank you for informing me. Good thing I didn't pay for this Blu-Ray! =p

Is there a thread like this for HD-DVDs?

If not there should be, the newest version of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow refuses to work in the 360 HD-DVD player. I'm sure there are others like the above.

I couldn't get past the title screen on two different copies of babylon ad. I don't need to watch anymore vin diesel movies anyway

I'll rewatch it but I noticed in the first 30 mins of the movie.

Is anyone else experiencing the sound being off in Hellboy 2? The entire movie looks like it was dubbed over in English from Chinese or something like in the old Godzilla movies.

Hmm, i didn't have any audio issues with my hellboy 2. in fact, it's one of the best mixes i've heard!

Same here. It might be an issue with you getting lag from your receiver.

Yeah so far all of my blu-rays have played just fine on my PS3 (probably should have mentioned that's what I was using before). I'll try it again later.

Update on my Hellboy 2 audio sync problem. It seems that the issue occurs on all discs with Ucontrol (Incredible Hulk, Heroes). Seems to be a little better when I change the settings of my ps3 to bitstream from linear PCM.

Anywho, it's not the disc (I had my brother test it in his blu-ray player and it played just fine); guess I need to take a look at my settings.
