Did you know there is a site for Blu-Ray quality?

Jan 29, 2013 4:11 PM

This stems from the @fusion44 question about the conversion quality of Big Trouble In Little China. Since there are so many Blu-Ray deals posted daily I figured I would link to the site below. It will give you a review and a rating on how good or bad the quality of any given Blu-Ray is. As you can see below Big Trouble In Little China scored 3.5 stars, not too bad. You can find a lot of other movies on there as well.

Thanks for the heads up! There have been a few movies I've wanted to upgrade/ get on BD instead of DVD, this can help me know if it's worth it.

@jsoko: Oh man, you are absolutely right. WTF is wrong with me? My pet peeve is there/their, to/too, your/you're. I'm that guy that corrects everyone else.

What a failure I am..........

I like this site much better:
http://www.blu-ray.com/ is another great site.

They use high-res screen grabs from the movie to help inform your purchase decision.

Helped me avoid some bad transfers of old movies and the original LOTR blu-rays.

Here's a good example page:
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Its-a-Mad-Mad-Mad-Mad-World-Blu-ray/25491/

Yes - the example Blu-Ray isn't even on the highdefdigest site. I think this is a much more complete site.

I've posted links to this site numerous times in multiple BR threads.
I use it before I buy any BR now. They are on the ball here.

What's blu-ray quality and how can I get it?

@hizzo87: there are many ways to achieve blu-ray quality. one way is to store your discs in the freezer. this keeps your peaks and troughs fresh instead of letting them degrade (causing the peaks to be read as .9999's and the troughs to be read as .0001's respectively).

@omnichad: Agree -- blu-ray.com is a great site. It's where I typically go for ratings.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
