Recommended Posts

Just making random different Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro BD comparison here.
 
Compared BDs are:

  • Japanese 2008 (JP-2008)
  • Japanese 2014 (JP-2014)
  • Japanese 2014 Hayao Miyazaki Collection (JP-2014-BOX)
  • United Kingdom 2012 (UK-2012)
  • United States 2015 (US-2015)

(I plan to delete some of the BDMV files to free my HDD, so I want to make this comparison while I have all the materials)

Note: Both Japanese 2014 versions use MGVC technology, which is not (currently) supported by any software available for consumers (at least to my knowledge).

I don't really have time to look but I'm wondering which is the best? How is the new US release?

 

The new US release is pretty much the best. Video is the same as Japanese 2014 releases (based on screens and bitrate) and it is dual-audio. I have not checked audio and bonus content, but not everyone cares about bonus that.

 

 

EDIT: US release has 2 different dubs - 1992 (probably Streamline) and 2000 (probably Manga), but I am not familiar with available dubs (I watched it subbed).

Yeah I just looked at it quickly but does the lossless even matter for those tracks? Those have to be artificially created channels as the original was 1.0 and that's in DTS-HD MA, right? I'm not downloading it to encode or anything anyway. Just probably going to throw it up on PTP.

I don't know what the source is, but I assume it is analogue, so depending on processing that was done, 2.0 and 5.1 might sound decent (or at least better than upmixing 1.0 on playback). As I said, I have not compared audio tracks, so it is only speculation.

Still, most of Funimation's releases are upmixed from 2.0 to 5.1 and most people are (probably) pleased with that.

You can do a remux of existing encodes (there should be several). Also, I have no idea what is PTP.
