Tom Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 For those who haven´t seen it in the DVD thread already; A German label, Koch Media, will release an unbelievable MV Blu Ray box set on 1st October with all uncut episodes including English and German language and subtitles. The unique thing here is that they encoded the US Universal master competely new and got rid of the wrong gamma shift on the US box sets and did lots of manual corrections, even corrected dropped frames of the Universal original (e.g. the cemetery limo scene in El Viejo where some frames are missing). The video quality is unbelievable and much better (contrast, darkness, colors) than any other release before. Some comparisons are posted in the DVD section. They also put lots of efforts into professional art work and bonus material and an episode guide. The box unwrapping video is down below. The box can be bought on 1st October onwards exclusively on Koch Media´s new online shop but can be currently shipped only to European destinations. https://bluray-disc.de/blu-ray-news/serien/137433-gesamtedition_der_kultserie_miami_vice_erscheint_exklusiv_im_onlineshop_von_koch_films KochMedia BluRAy MV Ultimate Box.MP4 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) @Tom I’ve been following along about this. Looks amazing! Did I overlook the USD price? also: maybe already mentioned, but will the full original 4:3 aspect image be seen? The Mill Creek blue rays chopped a tiny bit from the top and bottom.

Price has not been published yet. Will be a EURO price as they sell to Europe only at the beginning. They chopped nothing on all the episodes I saw up front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Okay. I’ll probably wait for an international shipper to offer a set on eBay. This is very exciting news. Many thanks to you and anyone else who has contributed to sharing all the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glades Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) I´ve got the Koch Blu-Ray as well, but unfortunatly I really can´t read anything. Maybe Tom is luckier. Edited November 15, 2020 by Glades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Tom is luckier. funny that Matt´s pic (seems to be taken from a TV screen) is sharper than the still from the Koch BluRay. I haven´t had the time to look at it myself but from above screencapture it looks like a NW and 39 or 89 to me. But I will try to look at the BluRay myself tomorrow ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted November 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) After watching the BluRay I would say the street sign says NE and 19 or 39 (I am very sure about the NE as both letters are slim as is the first digit) the street has a very long straight stretch followed by a soft left bend. This and the buildings we can see plus the width of the street without any „island“ between directional lanes should match up somewhere with a long broad main road like Biscayne Bvd. I could not find anything fast but will look for it. UPDATE: haven´t found anything on Biscayne Bvd that fits. But the road we see here is clearly two lanes in each direction and very long, thus not many candidates left to match....
