Member kungfusamurai Posted May 20, 2009 Member Share Posted May 20, 2009 Who's the target market for these releases? If they're still putting out kung fu flicks on VCDs because HKers don't want to buy DVDs, and now they're expected to leap frog to Blu-Ray? I don't see these things being in print for very long.

Member kungfusamurai Posted May 24, 2009 Member Share Posted May 24, 2009 I am the target market. Eat me. Sorry, I don't want to get food poisoning. Still, it doesn't really answer my question. If there are so many people in HK wanting to buy VCDs instead of DVDs, then what are they expecting with Blu Rays? Limited Edition 100 copy pressings? The excuses I've heard for VCDs still being put out is the cost factor for the consumer over there. They just don't want to spend money on DVDs. Unless they're planning on selling Blu Ray discs at the same price as VCDs, not to mention selling Blu Ray players for dirt cheap, this will be an extremely short-lived fad.

Member Raul4510 Posted May 27, 2009 Member Share Posted May 27, 2009 Agreed. How much better can Fortune Star's prints look on Blu Ray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted May 27, 2009 Member Share Posted May 27, 2009 I've bought all the BL flicks THREE times over!!!! And im not even a BL fan! Once on VHS, Once on early dvd, once on HKL version dvd.......THAT'S IT!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Dragon Posted May 27, 2009 Member Share Posted May 27, 2009 Agreed. How much better can Fortune Star's prints look on Blu Ray? Don't believe that negative bull$yte! I played my FS version of FOF and BB on my Sony Blu-Ray 550, and it looked almost like glass! No artifacts, at all. ETD's BR disc is a so-so transfer, which I believe they really cut corners on. I can only imagine how much I'll cream when I see the real 1080P's. TibetanWhiteCrane, you'll buy, and enjoy buying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member froffeecoffee Posted June 1, 2009 Member Share Posted June 1, 2009 My question regarding blu ray is just how good can a movie shot 40 or more years ago look before it's no longer the original image? Depending how much they put into remastering, it can look just like the original image seen in theaters. Will blu ray look much better than dvd? video & dvd don't look much different well for me videos get fuzzy & dvds skip, squares. ? It look a 100 times better. But you must have a high def television and theater sound system. I'm not a technogeek, but I know someone will understand the importance of having the HD equip. It makes all the difference. Plus you can still play your dvds on a Blu-Ray player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like you might need to calibrate. Go to youtube and type in HD t.v. calibration, there are alot of good tutorials. Find the tutorial in which the instructor uses The Incredibles dvd. My brother used that one to fix his HD television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
