MichaelAce Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Maybe someday I'll buy the complete set of DVDs to watch MV but I'd really want to have the highest definition possible with the right music (for example Cry by Godley & Creme instead of Definitely Miami by Jan Hammer etc) and the most extras If I have to buy the Blu-Ray version, this means that I'll also have to buy a Blu-Ray reader I guess Does the most recent DVD version have everything I need ?

Yes! @ivoryjonesdebunked this! He has a recording from the original NBC broadcast and Godley & Creme’s “Cry” was definitely there in the final scene. I believe somebody said that part of the confusion may have been because they play the album version which has a longer instrumental intro than the single version.

I bought the US DVD set in 2007 and the German Koch BRay set 1 month ago. I have to say that the visual superiority of BR over DVD is obvious, let alone that Koch has made the best HD Universal master encoding so far. I´ve never seen my favorite TV series like now with the BR. Colors, sharpness, contrast is as close to the original as possible. And with original I mean the 35mm Panavision film material VICE was filmed on which translates to 4K quality, provided someone will make a 4K master from the film material as opposed to the HD (1080) density Universal master there is now as the only source for all labels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a link for a BluRay discs set with all languages, subtitles and extras ? One that would allow me to watch with English audio and french subtitles for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as far as I remember the German Koch set released in October is the only one with subtitles and languages (German/English). All labels that released BRs before Koch made it pretty fast and cheap and dropped subtitles and other languages.

Jamy68 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) My early self made Christmas present arrived! It's the Mill Creek version meant as my first aid kit to serve the cravings. Goal is to buy the Koch edition once I finf out, if ever, if it works here in the US.

I am bilingual and would like to watch original or German without subtitles. I am interested in the Koch edition due to offering German language and their good reviews regarding quality. It seems to be the all around all inclusive package for me. Edited December 21, 2020 by Jamy68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two subtitle languages to select (German or English) or you can turn subtitles off completely - which is the default anyway. As with any other DVD/BluRay with subtitles.

By chance do you know if it runs with a US player or is it coded only for German / Euro ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the solution for me as a non tech person. The Koch set comes in a lot of packaging for the number of discs. It would not suprise me at all if it's the big box and digipaks which are exclusive to their shop and that, in the fullness of time, they want to get some revenue from their discs by selling them through other outlets like amazon. At which point, I'd expect, in order for them not to be reneging on their exclusive, the discs to be rehoused in more regular packaging and for the overall price to be lower. May never happen, but I think it's worth keeping an eye on, especially if you're looking at the price of a new player on top Edited December 28, 2020 by bodie spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
