Yeah, the Brazilian NTSC R4 DVDs is an interesting thing...

You can read up more about it here (although wiki is confusing) :

And explained better by others, as far as DVD format and such:

where that last link probably has the most extensive info about the subject. Long story short, Brazil had to be different, LOL ;)

Here's an example of a store selling the Brazilian DVD (not specifying whether it's PAL or NTSC but does specify the NTSC runtime of 112 minutes):

Anyway, back to topic...

I was thinking along the same lines as you were Andrea. I'll see if I can regrade the BD, but I doubt that it will be a "perfect" match and I might have to end up using the HDTV footage as many scenes are just so dark on the bluray that the blacks are completely crushed and, thus, the detail there is gone. I agree that the HDTV footage needs a very slight saturation adjustment and just slightly darkened in some scenes, but not all. I will be running some tests on this now and see what results I get. I'm really mad that they changed the color-timing on the bluray. Why are so many movies getting this treatment? Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to change the look of, damn nearly, every movie released on bluray. It's like rebuilding an engine in a car and then driving with no oil - what's the point? YAAY, I have better sharpness and detail but colors/blacks/whites/etc. are all messed up... Booo, not cool.
