I am hoping to hear from fellow members in order to compile a list of defective Bluray discs for the UK/Ireland (Region B). I purchased 'The Reader' last week and to my disappointment have found out it is encoded in 1080i, not the correct 1080p. In its raw 1080i state, jaggies and other motion artifacts can be visible even though after being upconverted either through a Bluray player and/or an HD monitor, the image may exhibit little discernible difference between 1080i and 1080p.
Still, I feel after shelling out 25 euros I should be getting the best transfer possible. Warner Brothers in the US made the same mistake with the initial pressing of Terminator 3 when it was released stateside in 2007~ and they immediately admitted the bloober, fixed it on the next pressing and offered an exchange program.
The main culprit seems to be EIV (Entertainment In Video). I have several Blurays by them and after checking them all have also found 'Bangkok Dangerous' to be 1080i, not 1080p. Also, the back of their cases always state "Full HD, 1080P"...
anyway hope nobody thinks I'm being too picky!!...now that I am building my Bluray collection I just want to have the best picture quality possible so I don't have to replace the disc again...well I guess until the next generation of 4k transfers (UltraHD??) comes along
