Breaker Morant | R1 |
The Region 1 is a Fox Lorber release. I have a few of their discs, and they are not always top quality - they seem to specialise in films that are less than blockbusters, often from outside the US. This seems to be a typical Fox Lorber release - it is widescreen, but not 16x9 enhanced. It has only 9 chapter stops (the R4 disc has 20) The Region 4 disc is missing:
The Region 1 disc is missing:
There's no question - the Region 1 disc is vastly superior, and this from a distributor not renowned for fabulous discs. How embarrassing! Even without 16x9 enhancement it comes out far better - I blew up the picture to fill the screen, and the quality is still superior. It is far sharper and much cleaner - there are still some artefacts, but far fewer. The sound is still Dolby Digital 2.0 mono, but recorded at 448kbps. I can only recommend buying the Region 1 disc. |
