Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, The | R4 |
The Region 1 NTSC release (also coded for Region 4) is a dual-ratio disc, with both widescreen and pan & scan versions of the film crammed onto one DVD9 disc. Add NTSC formatting to this, and one would have to question the picture quality of such a presentation. Their only audio option is Dolby Digital 5.1 (384Kb/s), in addition to the commentary. There are no other extras. The small scratch (film artefact) I mentioned in our transfer is also present in the Region 1 NTSC transfer, which indicates they are derived from the same source. The Region 2 UK disc omits the dts audio in favour of a single disc while the French Region 2 release includes dts audio and an additional French soundtrack. The transfers seem comparable, so I think the local package might be the way to go. |
