Member Fanboy1991 Posted December 10, 2012 Member Share Posted December 10, 2012 Upon comparing my ivls and French dvds to some media blaster and dragon dynasty releases I think all pal and ivl feature a cropped image no matter what the fIlm. Even the French 36th chamber bleu ray is cropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member spannick Posted December 11, 2012 Member Share Posted December 11, 2012 well, proof that "all" are cropped? i don't see screenshot comparisons. but i can assure you that all uncut Versions are heavily cropped when compared to the framecut Versions. (HEROES TWO, HEROIC ONES, BLOOD BROTHERS, KILLER CLANS, MAGIC BLADE etc) i don't think 36th CHAMBER is "heavily" cropped though as the above-mentioned ones, as there is no framecut Version of it (strange enough!) and i don't see ANY Logic saying "PAL" as proof that they are "all cropped". the IVL crap is converted FROM PAL Masters in all cases...

Member Fanboy1991 Posted December 11, 2012 Author Member Share Posted December 11, 2012 There's the french Blu Ray http://www.imagebanana.com/view/nbm640uv/36chambersus.jpg http://www.imagebanana.com/view/tb8zv6ww/36chambersfr.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member spannick Posted December 11, 2012 Member Share Posted December 11, 2012 yeah, that's quite a bit. not as much as uncut vs framecut, but it reminds me of BLADE RUNNER FINAL EDIT (cropped) vs old US Edit (much better framed). too bad the French Disc is the ONLY HD Version that's tolerable... also, would be interesting to compare the French DVD to the French Blu.

Member Killer Meteor Posted December 11, 2012 Member Share Posted December 11, 2012 The older releases basically matted out the splice lines, later ones actually cut the shots with the splices in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I'd rather have the sharp French crop than the awful US uncropped travesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
