Yeah, the StudioCanal BD wasn't very good ether, but at least they didn't use an old 4th gen VHS master and scrub/crop it to hell like #1 on my list (http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDReviews44/gullivers_travels_blu-ray.htm). Also, wasn't the SC/Optimum BD sourced from a unconverted PAL 576i master bumped to 1080p? (seemed more like number 6 on my list) I don't remember any ghosting, but I think that the audio pitch was higher than the NTSC masters. Even the U.S MGM BD, despite its problems, was at least from a true HD source and bearable (even if the studio digital master source was 1080i and deinterlaced/detelecined).


The new Sparticus BD looks promising. If they say its a new transfer, I really hope its true and Universal dosen't slap the old disc/transfer onto the combo pack.
