J'avoue que je suis sceptique sur cette nouvelle edition. Les screens me paraissent aussi plus flous

[David Banner]

Les captures sont peut-être mal faites... Sur la capture2/cliché2 y a un zoom sur l'image et quand on agrandit on voit des pixels bref à refaire...

[Corrade Cattani]

Et pourtant, David, sur cet autre forum, ils trouvent que toutes les captures de la nouvelle édition sont les meilleures. Ils ne comprennent pas pourquoi vous trouvez certaines anciennes captures meilleures.

Oui carrément !!

[zappaien]

De toute facon, le mieux c'est qu'elle sorte et qu'on la regarde !
Le truc c'est qu'il y a eu un tel lever de bouclier sur l'ancienne edition, je suis hyper surpris que les screens de la nouvelle ne soient pas tout bonnement flamboyant ... dès que ca sort je prends en tout cas et on pourra en reparler

[Riton]

Bah la nouvelle est bien mieux je trouve.

Et quels sont les screenshots de la nouvelle édition?

Là clairement ça vaudra peut être le rachat, le traitement photo semble plus bleuté mais l'image a bcp plus de détails on voit que c'est de la HD.

[Subzero]

Je plussois, le gain HD est évident, jamais les poils de Gracchus n'ont été aussi visibles.

Il me semble que le directeur photo a supervisé ce nouveau transfert, donc ce serait du tout bon a ce niveau là. Sinon j'ai l'impression que l'image a été légèrement recadré. Problème aussi a ce niveau sur l'ancienne édition ?

Aux États-Unis, La Paramount propose un programme d'échange, contrairement à Universal qui oblige de racheter.

L'info ci-dessous provient de "The Digital Bits"

All right... now for that awesome Gladiator news. If you've been reading any of the A/V enthusiast forums in the last 24 hours or so, you may now be aware that Universal has just released the new remastered Gladiator Blu-ray in Holland. Fans will know that the previous U.S. Blu-ray release - a DreamWorks title distributed by Paramount, with elements provided by Universal - featured a (shall we say) somewhat disappointing and recycled high-def transfer. Let me rephrase that: It was an extremely disappointing transfer. Well... the good news is that a brand new 4K transfer of the film was done several months ago with fresh elements, and the title has been re-authored to include it. It's this new transfer that's now available on Blu-ray in Europe, and early word is it's spectacular. Here's a link to a good online screenshot comparison of the new and old Blu-rays. (The first image that appears is the old Blu-ray - roll your cursor over it to see the same shot on the new Blu-ray). As expected, the difference is pretty shocking. You see? There IS a real quality difference when a studio spends a little extra money on the A/V presentation of a Blu-ray to get it right.

Anyway, word (and visual proof of) the new transfer appearing on Blu-ray in Holland has resulted in hundreds of concerned U.S. Gladiator fans e-mailing us in the last day or so, understandably hoping/pleading/begging for any information as to when they might be able to get their hands on the new disc here in the States. So here's the AWESOME news: Paramount Home Entertainment is about to initiate an exchange program for anyone who would like to swap their previous Gladiator Blu-ray for an otherwise identical disc with the new transfer. Here's their official statement:

"We are implementing a limited exchange program. This program is only for those consumers that may have preferential issues with some of the technical DVNR (digital video noise reduction) and EE (edge enhancement) choices made in the original source transfer, and so would prefer to exchange it for one that addresses those preferences in a different manner.

While the version that we originally distributed was of the highest quality, some enthusiasts may prefer to view it without the Edge Enhancement and DVNR implemented as standard process in bringing the film to hi-def. This new master resolves those issues."

[Editor's Note: You can call Paramount Home Entertainment's customer service hotline number (323-956-5711 - give them a couple days to get things together) to arrange the swap. Replacement discs will be available soon. For those in the U.S. and Canada who don't yet own the disc, a running production change has been initiated, so future copies shipped to retailers will include the new transfer. Rest assured, we'll post details as to exactly how you'll be able to identify the new discs (likely via some kind of packaging marking) when they start becoming available in stores in the coming weeks. And for those of you in other countries around the world, the new disc is being gradually rolled out in each region, so contact your local distributor for the details.

On behalf of Gladiator and Blu-ray fans everywhere, I'd like to send out a big Bits THANK YOU to everyone involved in the decision to do the new transfer, to those talented mastering wizards involved in the actual work (for a job well done!), and to the folks at Paramount for implementing their exchange program. THAT'S how you do right by your customers, and it's very much appreciated.]

C'est toujours uniquement au USA ce type d'échange ou de remboursement, jamais en Europe, et encore moins en France.

De temps en temps mais c'est rare (Danse avec les loups, Stargate, The thing, La grande vadrouille on a eu des échanges sans compter les dvd rot comme Terminator, Rocky...) Faut se souvenir qu'il n'y a eu aucun échange pour les versions zoomées de Retour vers le futur...

[Corrade Cattani]

Pour Retour vers le futur, il y a eu un programme d'échange en Belgique.

Mais c'est normal pour le DVDRot, c'était un défaut de fabrication qui empêché la lecture du film.

[Corrade Cattani]

Un programme d'échange est également prévu en Angleterre. Voici la preuve d'un mail. Pour le moment, ça chauffe sur les sites au Benelux. Le studio risque d'être bombardé de mails de mécontentement.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your e-mail. We would like to thank you for taking the time to write to us regarding Gladiator blu-ray.

Universal Pictures UK has been pleased with the success of Gladiator on Blu-ray, which has resulted in a high level of customer satisfaction. However, whilst there was no technical fault on the original Blu-ray master, a small number of enthusiasts have expressed a preference towards slight technical alterations. After careful consideration, we have revisited the mastering process to address those concerns.

If you wish to exchange your original DVNR (digital video noise reduction) feature disc we ask that you send us just your disc 1 in an envelope with your name and address enclosed. Please keep your original packaging and we will post you out a new disc 1.

Please note new discs will not be available in the UK for approximately 1 month.
