SHAM029/SHAM200 - New York Ripper HD: The Tech Debate
 

We’ve set up this thread so that you can get your feedback to Shameless regarding their release of New York Ripper on DVD and BD. This is the place where you can give your opinions in the build up to the release: what you hope Shameless will and won’t do technically and why. When NYR is released on 25 April 2011 you can pass on your feedback on the technical aspects of the release here too.

Please note: this is not the place to review the film itself, rather a place to give constructive feedback on the release itself e.g. picture quality, audio, subtitles etc. Also, there are already (or soon will be) threads for discussion of BBFC decisions, special features and artwork so it would be appreciated if you refrain from discussing these particular aspects here.

All opinions are welcome as long as they are constructive in the sense that they are providing useful feedback for Shameless. Any members seen to be attacking others for their opinion (whether positive or negative) will have their posts deleted and will receive an infraction or, potentially, a ban.

In terms of what I would like Shameless to do from a technical standpoint on the Blu-ray, a big selling point and almost essential part of the release would be lossless or uncompressed mono soundtracks so either DTS-HD Master Audio or (preferably) LPCM should be on the BD.

In terms of the extras I would like to see an improved (picture quality) Shameless trailer park.
And an option to "play all". ;)

This is the major thing I can think of too. :)

The soundtrack as a CD!!

I'll second that emotion :pray:

They could add the soundtrack on the bd as well I guess.
However it would make the release more expensive for Shameless I think?

I'd be willing to pay top dollar.

Yeah a lot of us on here obviously love the films Shameless release and would like their releases to be collectable (e.g. steelbook releases / soundtracks on a seperate disc / lots of extras) and of high AV quality. I think this should and must be reflected in the price. And I'm sure most of us would be happy to pay a good sum for good quality releases.

Though I must say the price of New York Ripper is very reasonable!

Apologies for the delays in getting this info out to you. Shameless are in the process of authoring both the DVD and Blu-ray so I should be able to release this info reasonably soon once a decision has been made.
