Well, if we know anything about "HD Cinema Classics" now, it's that no amount of criticism will keep them from cranking the hell out of the DNR filters on what might have otherwise still been perfectly acceptable transfers.

Yes, the DNR is applied pretty heavily, but there's still a decent amount of fine detail. It's a little contrasty, with the brightest spots in any given shot tending to look a bit hot. I saw some strange artifacting happening in a number of shots; it looked kind of like posterizing. It tended to be along the left side; it may be a not-entirely-successful attempt to compensate for light leaks on whatever element they were using. So it's not up to the standard of the major labels, but above average for a title that has falled into p.d. hell.

I ask because I do not have a BR player as yet. I have no idea; one would assume that the content on both discs is identical, but then again, they are packaged together exclusively, so maybe the DVD is bare-bones, who knows? I don't have the disc myself yet, since I was waiting for reviews/screen-shots, before taking the plunge. "I say ALL you scientists are CRACKPOTS! Nothing is going to happen..."

May 4 12 5:30 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	My "Red house" Bluray + DVD arrived today - here are my observations . Firstly it would appear the Blu ray is multi region , although it says region A on the disc it played on my Sony blu ray player which is Europe region B ok . The picture quality was excellent as far as Im concerned and as good as I expected considering this film has been kicking around in the public domain basement for years and was never going to get a "Citizen Kane " type restoration . The extras are thin on the ground but both the Blu ray and the DVD appear to have the same extras , a trailer , before and after restoration comparison and a commentary track . The DVD states it's a region o disc . All in all ,easily the best I have seen the Red House look and good value !
