Yeah, I know it was done in 24fps film (the title wobbles a bit and has some specks, telltale sign for being film). I've seen it on both my 1994 VHS reprint and a 1998 USA channel airing when I was 5. I know the DVDs (2002 Trilogy batches and the 2009 reprints) and the BD of all three films use the negative prints (where it is not on). The reissue thing I mentioned because I think the first film was in a double bill with select screenings of II when it came out, same with III (for BTTF II). So its possible it appeared on those if one came across 35mm reissue prints of ether film. I know its a somewhat minor thing that everyone is talking about, but if something on a film existed at one point that was cut from later release, its worth inquiring upon and preserving.

Having off-topic with no moderation whatsoever was a dumb idea.

Well, there is still (I think) moderation on SW spoilers and links to torrent sites even in off-topic. Yes, I've read all the rules before singing up and I want to make good impressions instead of pissing people off.

I do have to say though, some of the moronathons here (from the trolls and elbows) are LOL worthy!

Last movie seen was Foodfight. Trust me, its far more painful to watch without NC's gags inbetween (which had way more thought and creativity than what Joel "Bat Tits" Schumacher put into that mess). Makes "The Room" look like an Emmy winning comedy. 

I see. Guess there's really no rules here, except for posting of illegal downloads and SW spoilers; maybe a couple videos of Alexis Texas here and there ;)

No need to be rude, links tested and fixed. Kept having 500 errors when posting the damn thing so something went wrong in copy pasting the links while trying to repost.

If the TBC card was done on film, there's a chance that they also appeared on double bill and/or foreign reissue prints. If they were for the video releases and TV airings only, they would've been edited on video at 30fps. That's something to think about.

You guys should check some of those Asian bootleg DVDs and VCDs. The cover art and translations on those are WTF treasure troves!

Hello all! While this my first post here and hopefully i'll make more friends than foes, some people may know me from a few other sites (CLG wiki, Toms hardware as "Jim and Evil", Amazon). I mainly joined this site for the "Other Preservations" category, as some interesting restorations are a brewin'. I was going to post this there, but this topic is kinda OT and I want to have "good impressions" with some of the higher ups rather than being slammed by them.

Anyways, this thread is for listing Blu-rays with bad transfers in your collection or have viewed/rented. Lowest number being the worst while highest being the least evil of them all. This'll be fun, so lets hear 'em!

Here are mine:

#6 - The Killer (Dragon Dynasty release)

-Horrid 1080i transfer made from PAL master converted to NTSC WITH GHOSTING! The Fortune Star HK Blu-ray, while supposedly an upscale, looks ands sounds better by miles... and... miles (get the song reference).

#5 - The Sword in the Stone

-DNR'd, has wispy "lines" to amount up to an overall over-cleaned digital look like Disney's current fare of blandness. While other Disney BD titles such as Alice in Wonderland and Oliver and Company have similar treatment, TSITS is easily the worst of them.

#4 Predator: Ultimate Hunter Edition (and 3D versions)

-Heavy-handed DNR and has (faint) macroblocking... FOR AN H264 ENCODE!! Original 2007 BD with MPEG-2 encode smokes it in terms of picture quality (not just because it has the original grain intact).

#3 - One Eyed Jacks

-Check my amazon review for a detailed analysis: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3CX94YIJ2ZXLG/ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B005GP7F8Y

Surprises me it's currently going for $130 (last I saw), FOR SUCH A THIRD RATE TRANSFER!

#2 - Max Fleischer's Superman: Collectors Edition

-Along with major sync issues (Clark having Lois' voice and vice versa), video quality is similar to...

#1 Max Fleischer's Gulliver's Travels  http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Gullivers-Travels-Blu-ray/3184/
-Ey yae yae yae yae!! Not only is it subject to DNR, but its culled from an old betacam master with colors bleeding like no tomorrow, cropped and stretched and manhandled to 1.75:1 along with a choppy frame rate. The production of this release has an interesting backstory of Koch Media staff defending the product with nonsensical babbling and even one of their employees bribing amazon reviewers to give the product 5 stars for "something special", which alone is worthy of reading material. Luckily, the Thunderbean BD/DVD combo pack release (reviewed with it here: http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDReviews44/gullivers_travels_blu-ray.htm ) is a vast improvement and a much more faithful transfer. Its sad that a smaller company like TB (run by a single animation preservationist out of most of his own pocket) can do much better work than an established Indie like Koch/E1.
