Idea: 'The Shadow' - a Widscreen DTS version?

Pretty much all films in 1.85:1 are shot open matte. This doesn't neccesarily mean that the full screen dvds are open matte though. There could have been microphones and dolly tracks under the mattes. Also, there is no way you can compare matting off a full screen dvd image by yourself, and comparing that to a professionally made anamorphic transfer.

No, there is no DTS track on the r2 dvd. You could do as you said, but since the r2 dvd is in PAL format, you need to slow it down 4% for it to match with the american audio track.

I couldn't play this back in my standalone pioneer dvd player. Same thing with the Behind the Scenes of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade disc. The menus worked, but as soon as the player got to the mpeg, it just froze. Works fine on my computer though. Anyone else have this problem on their standalones?


Strange considering they were authored by two different people. Methinks maybe it's your player. which are you using? do you only have one?


I'm using a Pioneer dv-535 (it's a European model). I have never had any problems with it before or after. The first Se7en disc works so-so. It gets to the menu, but then locks up. I can still click enter though, and when I do it seems to play the film with the commentary fine (I haven't watched the whole thing yet). The second disc locks up once the intro gets to the "A digitalfreaknyc production" bit. If I stick it in my computer, it plays the intro fine, but the menus are messed up and you can't tell what you're clicking. It's the same both when I try to run it from a burned dvd and when I try to run the files I downloaded directly off the hard drive.
Are everyone elses copies running fine?
