Yes please.

I have yes T, And watching Aliens on a web stream and comparing it to the disc I see and hear a difference. I always do. sometimes I notice it more than others,, visually, but sound wise I always notice a difference so does my wife when she's upstairs slamming on the bedroom floor asking me...

ahh. Excellent point. I never stopped to consider that And now it seems pretty obvious. 👍

May come down to the equipment content being viewed on, and listened to with.

Yes, for myself, I use bitrate as an example My wallet has felt the effects of 4K disc sizes also. ugh But with all of that data on the discs Especially now that they are coming out in larger sizes, the FILM files, it’s yielding a better picture… A better image. One that is superior to a...

Ahh yes. Very true.

Agreed, wholeheartedly agree Mr. Harris changes the movie entirely, it alters the visual aspect of the movie greatly I’m pretty sensitive to it

Very true I just prefer my sources to be physical I want the highest spit rate ability to see all the details possible and no, I have an excellent version of the film in 4K But that’s me, I get the same way about audio (I’m a snob…I freely admit it). Can’t do MP3 More of a 96kHz/24bit hi-res...

I have found that movie prior to 2020 were mainly between 50 to 55 GB… 4K UHD that is Blade Runner, the Empire strikes back they were not utilizing the full 90 GB size for their movies but if you look at the movies released in the last year or two, you will notice more movies are being...

In my opinion, you cannot do better than the physical disc. I don’t spend tons of money on grabbing every 4K out there because I’ve done that with DVD and Blu-ray, OK with getting a Web download from apple If I’m not that interested in the movie But otherwise, the first few discs I purchased...

Depends what sequence you’re showing them

Hey Ron, oh agreed...I think Apple 4K looks great and Movies Anywhere tgey look and sound great. I think HEVC codec and faster int speeds have allowed for streaming videos to look as good as they do, the math is for example... A film streaming in 4K (depending on the length and content of...

Ron, I actually altered this number before you responded to it from 15% to 25% to be a little more accurate but as I stated above, I've also just changed it again to half the quality

Well, I’m saying roughly because the physical disk can carry up to 90 GB web download is approximately 20 GB so based on that math, the video bit rate is much less and you're not getting a lossless Dolby Atmos track Just an approximation but I will correct that for you and readers (I’ve...

I don’t know, man. you’re on the Home Theater Forum I think I can safely say we all enjoy seeing films, presented in greater clarity with the newest innovations in technology It’s true that 4K is not selling like Blu-ray or DVD, but then streaming wasn’t available on that level. It is now when...

I can’t say I know much about the Terminator 2 release date or the Terminator release date but my understanding is both are getting released in 4K. The Terminator should look outstanding, and Terminator 2 should look beautiful in my opinion we’re gonna have to wait to see…. However, I’ve been...

Nailed it. He confirmed. 👍 right on.

Yes, thanks @Malcolm R this was the point I was trying to make he never wrote a word, he wanted his script to get done He didn't want to play the game Sigourney Weaver was holding out for $1 million which Fox did not want to pay. And from what I can remember from the interview James Cameron...

Oh totally agreed she crushed it. She absolutely crushed it. She said when she received the script, she was surprised because it all revolved around Ripley's character, I heard the big debate was that she wanted $1 million to do the role and held out for that before she signed on. And if I...

I am completely feeling you, @Colin Jacobson Lucas reimagined Star Wars, Francis Ford Coppola, reimagined the outsiders, and the Godfather part three Steven Spielberg did some tinkering with ET I think the difference is that these are alternate versions of the films where the content has...

That's awesome @Noel Aguirre That laserdisc box sett of Aliens the Special edition is still sitting in my closet 20 feet away from me, but I don't have a laserdisc player anymore.

Probably just a Cameron thing I’m thinking, and a Peter Jackson thing if he chooses to do so, I do imagine it’s expensive as you stated.

I watched an hour of true lies on the web, download version and the disc the other night. not sure what your Soundsystem is like or what television you're using, but all three releases look 5 times better on the physical disc. Very little if any compression, and you're getting the full Dolby...

Ah. Makes more sense now. I love this site and I love that we for the most part all want our films to be represented as perfectly as possible and if that’s not possible restored to perfection (thank you @Robert Harris ) I also love how die-hard we all are about movies and television here...

Who's JF and what's FC?

Understood and understandable.

Here Here.

Agreed Colin. So say we all.

I love it Tony.
