haven't bought any version yet, but I'd like to see direct caps-a-holic comparisons first.FrauBlucher wrote:The Big Heat...bluray.com Sell your TT, then buy this region free version.

Maybe one bluray has better encoding than the other.

David Mackenzie is currently the most skilled BD encoder worldwide so you're unlikely to find any compression issue on any title he worked on.Costa wrote:and this means that...?
Sorry, I'm not familiar with names in the Bluray manufacturing world.

I just popped the blu-ray tonight and I am noticing the same. Personally it only bothers me on brighter close-up shots of faces/skin. I am not familiar with what causes this noise (or grain) and the details on the blu-ray show that the master was an older one by Sony.DeprongMori wrote:I’ve now bought two copies of the Indicator release of “The Big Heat”, and in both cases the Blu-ray disc was incredibly mechanically noisy. The DVD doesn’t exhibit the problem, and I haven’t had problems with the Blu-ray discs on other of their releases. Is anyone else running into this, or have I just been spectacularly unlucky?
I’ve got an inquiry in to the company to see whether they’ve had other complaints, and whether this may be a problem with the entire run.

In the past, when I had some cases with some noisy DVDs, I was told it was because the disc wasn't perfectly flat, thus the sound when spinning at high speed.
Out of something like over 1200 disks, I only rarely run into the problem myself. When I have it's mostly been out of print discs that I've bought used. (Damn you, Bob le Flambeur!) This one I thought I'd ask about because it was two new, sealed copies of a new release that I bought from separate sources, both exhibiting the same problem.PianoMan88 wrote:After 5 dvd players and 3 blu-ray players, I have never experienced such a problem with any discs.

So, if no one else has experienced this, it's looking like maybe I just had spectacularly bad luck with "The Big Heat".
Oh, I didn't know there's a sync issue.Lowry_Sam wrote:I picked up Indicator's The Big Heat after all the rave reviews, but have only just gotten around to watching it (after having already unloaded my Twilight Time copy). I'm regretting I did now. Has Indicator fixed the sync issue in later copies by any chance? I don't remember the Twilight Time's audio being so out of sync. It's probably less than a half second faster than the video, but I'm finding it very annoying.
I watched my copy tonight to see if I had the same problems and I did notice sync issues as well, but not consistently. During certain scenes it's incredibly obvious and irritating, but in most scenes the syncing matches up, or if it's slightly off isn't noticeable (and I was actively looking/listening for it after reading your post). I'm more than satisfied with the edition, but if the issues have been addressed by the company I'd happily trade in for a fixed disc.Lowry_Sam wrote:I picked up Indicator's The Big Heat after all the rave reviews, but have only just gotten around to watching it (after having already unloaded my Twilight Time copy).
