Since the September 25, 2007, Warner has put up for sale no less than five different editions of 300 on DVD: simple (1 record), special (2 discs), steelbook, steelbook with book and an exclusive edition with a disc fnac Extra. Además, también se han editado las respectivas versiones en formatos de alta definición Blu-ray y HD DVD . In addition, there have also been edited versions in the respective formats of high definition Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD.
All the alternatives that Warner has released on DVD have in common the first disc-which contains the film-and therefore the assessment of image quality is equal for all of them. The high definition versions, both the HD DVD edition as the Blu-ray Disc edition are virtually identical as part of the same master encoded in VC-1, with similar bitrates media over the 20 Mbps. For this reason, have been included in this comparative catches of both formats interchangeably.
Comparing visually standard definition with high definition, the reality is that even though the DVD 300 is a very good image quality-within the limits of both the format HD-DVD as Blu-ray are far above. It is well known that the photograph of this movie is very unique, with abundant grain, sharp contrasts and turn sepia. The DVD reflects all these issues so close to the original, however formats HD DVD and Blu-ray and bring something more complicated range of intense colors digitally manipulated played a magnificent way, it is virtually a carbon copy of the master film.
The colors on DVD without so many shades and compression tends to unify creating a pastel effect characteristic of the format, in addition to saturation something more than normal. By contrast, high definition can enjoy the full range at its maximum splendor, with a colorful rich, less saturated and more natural. Moreover, the excess will become apparent contrast prevents certain elements of the picture in DVD format, while both HD DVD and Blu-ray levels of black and shadows are extraordinary.
As expected, thanks to higher definition, the level of detail is much higher and the sharpness is superb; helmets, the texture of the layers, land, wrinkles in the skin, Jerjes of thousands of beads, etc. . everything is displayed with great wealth of detail. Sometimes, given the importance it has given the visual aspect of this movie, one cree be watching moving pictures, with magnificent landscapes and frames that seem postcards.
Furthermore, thanks to advanced codec VC-1 and the high bitrate means of scanning, there is no trace of compression defects that appear on the DVD in the more complicated sequences (the sinking of ships in the rain or any scene with many elements on the screen). For against the grain, with increasing definition, it becomes more evident and can become annoying to a greater or lesser extent.
In short, even though in general the DVD has a very good image quality, those who have the opportunity to enjoy the high definition should not hesitate a moment or because the superiority of 300 in either format, Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD is really significant. |
