Matt Chapman wrote episodes of Gravity Falls?
I'm definitely gonna need to give the audio commentary a proper watch. Listen?
"There was a bit of a concern that I'm referencing the 90s, is this gonna be, by the time this airs will anyone even know what boy bands are? And I remember it came out it was like 'oh what a great spoof of One Direction!'"
At least now my ps3 is reading what I actually intended to watch today.
single layer blu-rays aren't that common are they?
@onfy kinda funny that they opted to go with two discs for the Tomb Raider 2-disc "collector's edition"
@noiob How old is it? I usually only see really old releases do that, but maybe Europe gets shittier versions?
@noiob hmm, looks like the American blu is also single layer. https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Lara-Croft-Tomb-Raider-Blu-ray/61879/
Pretty weird for 2013.
@noiob German release is even older? This is more typical for 2010! Dual layer movies became dominant in the early 10s.
@noiob And it may or may not be an HD DVD port as well in this case. Nice.
@noiob ASSDAFSDFSD IT USES MPEG 2 I JUST NOTICED??? OH MAN.
@noiob Ah. The American release is MPEG-2 but the German release seems to be VC-1.
...what the hell!!!
@noiob It feels crazy that a German disc that apparently is originally from 2007 is using VC1 but an American disc from 2013 is using MPEG-2 like some fucking cave dweller. I'd expect the German release looks way better...
@onfy it looks good to me at least. Better than the DVD (which I also own, of course)
@onfy funny thing: the first movie comes with the TR5 game as a bonus, the second movie comes as a bonus with TR: Legend
@onfy since I'm already digging: https://www.blu-ray.com/dvd/Lara-Croft-Tomb-Raider-DVD/38986/
@noiob I keep forgetting they have DVD listings...
@noiob Quite a bonus.
@onfy Arrival isn't single-layer but they still don't have the whole movie as one file, wild https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Arrival-Blu-ray/169125/
2001: A Space Odyssey puts 10GB onto a dual-layer disc https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/2001-A-Space-Odyssey-4K-Blu-ray/219171/
@noiob I usually see this splitting being used (particularly by Disney) for internationalization, so when the title comes up there's one file for English, French, etc... and seamless bridging is used to combine the different pieces together.
Silliest blu I've ever seen was The Polar Express, it was around 10GB iirc and the movie was VC-1. Yikes. Oh well, it's also a terrible movie...
@onfy it's the end in that case, I guess they could've done it for the credits?
@noiob Yeah, usually they have translated credits too. Also some anime uses this so they can have the credits in Japanese as well as translated to English.
@onfy most anime I've seen just doesn't care
@noiob Yeah, it really depends.
It seems like Germany is getting quite a bit of anime on blu-ray these days actually, pretty impressive.
@onfy yeah the local electronics/media store has a small shelf full of all kinds of stuff, mostly parts of box sets lol
@noiob They come with firmware updates? Wow! Thanks!
@onfy handy, isn't it?
@noiob Yeah, there's a few stores I like to go to when I have money.
Kicking myself for passing on Rescue Rangers, they had copies for $15...
@noiob I'm specifically talking about commercial pressed releases of movies / TV shows / etc... and yeah, I have a few too. Sorry that wasn't more clear. I'm pretty sure Gravity Falls season 1 disc 3 is single layer, which is why I popped it in to the my ps3 to cooperate... it seems to specifically be picky with dual layer discs. But most movies seem to prefer dual so they can offer a higher bitrate, and TV shows to put more episodes on the disc.
