Superbit
 

Has anyone else viewed Superbit Digital Transfer? The image quality and detail is good. My first Superbit film purchase, which I just finished watching...Leon: The Professional Unrated Deluxe Edition was great viewing. The image was pin sharp crystal clear with no grain. The last time I watched Leon was on a borrowed worn out vhs tape. I'm going to search for other titles.


have a look here for some info.

i have Panic Room on superbit ... didnt blow me away or anything - compared to other DVDs.

they leave off the special features to lessen the compression .. in all honesty i'd rather have the special features - my eye doesnt appreciate the difference ..

Leon was a two disc set, film on 1 and extras on 2. I prefer it like that. I dont know if many get released as a 2 disc set, as the couple of sites I buy from, only have a limited amout of SB titles.

i could like that .. but what about the commentary ??


the funny thing is .. most superbit titles dont warrant it ... its usually a waste...

(i.e. Carpenters : Vampires ???)

a missing commentary may put people off buying, but to me it's not a problem... infact I've never even watched a film with the commentary running, so wouldn't miss it.


Hopfully more titles will get an SB release.

i usually watch the film, alternate commentaries, and then the features; i prefer infini film

the commentaries are my favorite part .. get a good speaker and its sometimes as much fun as the film.

get a bad one (william freidkin on the Exorcist dic) and it almost ruins it for you.


I also wanted to kill Roger Ebert 5 minute sinto his Dark City commentary.

same goes for The Vampire one .. with Malcovitch and Defoe .. cant remember the name ..

had to turn the commentary off - it was dry and terrible ..


and there was 2 guys on the evil dead trap ...

if i ever meet them i might just push them down.
