cropped picture:nono:
I hate cropped pictures and limited editions!! it like saying only the first 5000 people deserve to watch this film!!!! i dont care about bare bones dvd's as unlike some i buy films not extra's!
Cropped.
Cropped picture for me as well.
Cropped Picture gets another vote and Censored edits (BBFC).
poor transfer.....i dont see the big deal with widescreen? if a film id available in both widescreen and fullscreen, ill buy the fullscreen:-S my tv is enourmous, but it isnt widescreen, and its not as if u miss much with a 4:3 picture........a bit of scenery perhaps? not that i mind widescreen, 9/10 of my collection is widescreen.....
Cropped, without a doubt.
But, why DD 2.0? Surely unauthorised and inappropriate 5.1 remixes of mono and stereo soundtracks is infinitely worse.
As for Criterion's prices, they provide a perfectly legitimate explanation on their website:
Why do Criterion DVDs often cost more than other DVDs?
Criterion DVDs generally retail for about $10 more than average, and we make every effort to make those extra dollars count. We've made a commitment to presenting each film looking the best it can, and wherever possible, we are scouring the world's archives for additional materials that will elucidate the process or significance of the film. That work is extremely complicated and expensive, especially when the films are not all located in a single vault (as at a major studio) but scattered around the world. Our films are drawn from an array of film libraries in about two dozen countries so far. Many of the filmmakers whose work are included in the collection live thousands of miles away. Others are no longer living, making the archival project that much more difficult. And, especially with the older films, the process of making a master -- first finding the best available film elements, making a high-quality transfer, and then rolling frame-by-frame through the picture and sound fixing scratches, tears and dirt, as well as audio pops, crackle, clicks and hiss -- requires the use of very expensive equipment and personnel for long periods of time.
We appreciate the support people show when they pay a little more for our discs, because that is what makes it possible for us to keep striving to meet the standards of our most demanding and well-informed customers.

You are clearly a man of great intelligence and wit and so I will leave your rational, carefully thought-out decision unquestioned.
I can't single out a single one, but anything that prevents me from watching the film as it was originally inteneded really annoys me.

Criterion are able to sub-licence their films to a korean distributor for them to sell at cheap ($10 Less, normal) prices. While sub licencing is just a way to recoup costs then why does criterion charge full whack ($10 more than normal) for transfers they sub-licence from someone else?
burnt on subtitles annoy me:smokin:

I have no idea what the arrangements of the deal are - all I know is that it cost them a ******** to make the transfers in the first place. Having fine-grain masters and interpositives struck is far pricier than just a low-contrast print, and the results are visibly smoother and less grainy.

Because they're "Criterion". It's like waiting to park your car at a valet for 10 mins, pay $20 as a tip, then wait 2 hours to get a table or waste another couple hundred to make it quicker, sit in a smelly loud crowd so that even if a gun goes off you won't hear, and then wait another hour for a $25 sandwitch or cup of soup that tastes like crap, but you're in a "prestige restaurant" :rolleyes:
Some of their releases are worth it though, but the main reason is that 90% of their catalogue no one buys but the a very small group of "elite" twitched up movie fans, so they gotta make money somehow.

:notworthy :clap:
Pure gold!
If you genuinely think that 90% of the films Criterion put out are pretentious highbrow crap, then I weep for you.
Just like some people pay extortionate amounts for the latest trainers with a logo on them, others pay extra for DVDs from Criterion. It comes to the same thing in the end, although paying an extra $10 for a DVD is arguably cheaper than the most upmarket goods from Nike or whatever. ;)
Cropped Picture (4:3)
Agreed. Cropping is the devil's work.
Non anamorphic treatment
Yes, I find that annoying.
DD2.0
What if the original audio mix was 2.0?
Barebones DVD
Agreed.
Price (criterion)
If it's good, as Criterion's DVDs tend to be, I'm willing to pay extra.
Limited Editions (OOP discs)
Not really, because I can be a smug git when I know I've bought something that was limited in quantity.
Poor Transfer (correct OAR)
Yep.
Single Layer Discs
Why? Quite often a with bare-bones releases, the film can comfortably fit on a single layer.
DVD - 18
Yep.
Snappers
I hate.
Subtitles
In what sense? Burned-on?
Re-releases (superbit)
Forget re-releases. Let's just say Superbit. I have nothing against re-releases which ADD features, but Superbit is just a scam.
Dubbed Soundtracks
Very true, but so long as the original track is there I'm happy.
Censored edits (BBFC)
The reason for many of my non-UK purchases.
Player Incompatibility
Haven't really had many problems, but yes, it could potentially be problematic.
Regional Coding (RCE)
Barely worth noting. It's so easy to get around.
Killed Off VHS and Betamax (R.I.P)
The best day of my life!
I'd like to add:
- All-digital transfers (e.g. Monsters Inc.)
- Pitch correction
- Remixed audio
- Cardboard packaging (e.g. The Silence of the Lambs R2)
- Listing "scene selection" as a special feature
- EIV covers
- Slow, unskippable menu transitions
- Menus where the same 10-second audio clip loops over and over
- The assumption that the label "THX" means you're getting the best picture quality
- Bilingual covers
- DVDs that default to 2.0 when there is a 5.1 track (and the 5.1 is the original mix)
Unskippable menus (thankfully rare)
Endless pages of text (stand up T2: UE and The Abyss)
Just a couple of quibbles really, DVD is a ******* miracle if you ask me:rocker:
Has anyone mentioned Flippers yet?

Thankfully no. What, you can't get off your ass once during a movie to switch or flip a disc? And don't start with that "flow of the movie" crap, you continue within the same minute, plus I bet you get up to take a **** or get something to chew on at least once anyway.

So i suppose you think a remote control is unneccessary?
Originally posted by philipn

No, remote controls are very necessary, I pause and scan back and forth all the time, plus DVDs have menus and you gotta navigate them.
One thing that gets on my nerves is when they lock the subtitle control and audio control buttons on the DVD, so you are forced to go to the menu and change things. The spanish version of braindead is one of the worst, the menu settings were all interlinked for english and spanish audio/subs and to get English audio and no subs I had to mess around with the menu for ages to find the right combination of button presses to get what I wanted. If they had just left the audio/su buttons unlocked I could have changed it from within the film in several seconds. What is the point locking it?
I also find it annoying when discs start playing the film as soon as you put them in instead of going to the menu.
Those Disney DVDs (thankfully rare - the R1 Saludos Amigos is one) which have a number of trailers at the start of the disk and don't let you skip past or select Menu.
Thankfully most chipped players override this setting, but I pity those folk whose players won't let them do that and force them to watch ten minutes of trailers everytime they put the disk in! :eek:
Incorrect packaging and website info really get my goat, like when it says on the box Dolby Digital 5.1, and then it's Dolby Surround, coz some dork in marketing doesn't know the difference (e.g. Stereophonics Performance and Cocktails Live, also letterboxed to add insult to injury). Mind you the reverse can be true. Bon Jovi Crush Tour was down as stereo and 4:3 on all websites on release, and was even reviewed as such (how can that happen?) when it's actually anamorphic 16:9 and glorious 5.1.
A full credit card/ empty bank a/c ? :eek:
Cropping and Flippers (if I`d wanted to change disks half way through a movie, I would have bought laser disk.
Limited Editions that AREN'T limited - Stand up MIB.
Menus that take forever to navigate - this one's for you X-Men.
Menus that giveaway the plot - Shawshank, this means you.
Special Special Collectors Editions released 2 months after the original - O Brother, Amelie joint winners.
Dvd cases that simply refuse to let you get the disc out. :oh-hum:
A few 'evils' that I hate off the top of my head!
Pan and Scam transfers
Bare bones on modern films - no excuse bar laziness from the Distributor
Snappers - god Warner, just give up on them!
Heavily cut movies - I can accept 2-3 seconds but not minutes (I'm looking at you DISNEY with your abysmal treatment of The Killer and Hard Boiled amongst many others!)
Re-editing a movie simply to suit the Western audience (Disney AGAIN!)
Forced trailers at the beginning of the film (it works in the cinema cos they change when you go again you fools!!!)
Releasing several versions of a DVD within a very short time frame without telling customers! (Columbia Tristar being the very worst culprits!)
Releasing sub-standard video and audio on a disc without doing any sort of remastering
:thumbs:
Cropped picture - even though I've got a pretty standard 28" 4:3 TV I'm obsessive about OAR.
Also, DVD companies listing the likes of "Scene Access" as a special feature. It isn't a major problem, but annoys the crap out of me :mad:
You didnt mention Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment!
From official release to Special Ed. to Superbit. This annoys me no end!!!!
Just release one decent disc and be done with it!
Didnt mention DVD Silvers. These are evil
I hate "remastering". Usually it means some idiot has become anal about every single fleck or hair and has applied excessive filtering to hide it, destroying all the detail in the picture. I'm looking at The Lord of the Rings here. I can't understand why everyone's been singing its praises: I think it looks dreadful. I'd prefer a sharp transfer with negative damage to a completely clean but smudged-beyond-belief transfer.
What about unnecessary 'sharpening' as in Star Wars Ep I?
