Do you prefer the VHS or DVD copy of Secret of the Ooze? - Page 2

I live in the 21st century and own it on Bluray so I watch neither

I still have the trilogy on VHS, but only for collector/sentimental sake. I haven't actually owned a VCR in 8 years. Simply put, VHS looks terrible on flat panel technology. I would rather miss out on one line and enjoy the rest of the movie with good quality audio and video. Although, as I said in another thread, I tend to not even bother buying video media now unless it's in an HD format. I now own 3 copies of the quadrilogy on Blu-Ray (long story) but have only watched the first movie thus far. I'll have to pop in TMNT 2 this weekend and see if the problem transferred. If so, that would confirm that all they did was upscale the existing DVD versions to HD quality for the Blu Ray release without doing an actual restoration like I have suspected.

I only have a DVD version and never watched it in VHS, so I can't tell. But to be honest, the only reason I have that DVD is because is a TMNT film and I want to have the whole set, but I don't remember watching it more than maybe once or twice.

You only ever watched movie 2 about twice? Usually people say they've watched it like 15 times.

I don't always watch movies, but when i do I watch them on DVD's. STay semi current my friends.

But seriously I have the first three on VHS and as long as they work i'll only have them on VHS. Then again I'm kind of weird that way.

Well, considering that we were already 5/6 years (depending on how you personally prefer to count it) into the 21st century when Blu-ray was released, this stands as a logical fallacy. The two do not equate.

Unrelated, but even though I have two Blu-ray devices I still rarely buy anything on Blu-ray. The DVD versions of most films are easier to find in shops and they're cheaper, plus my family who do not own anything Blu-ray based (since my brother's PS3 broke down) can borrow them afterward.

So back to the actual topic... I never noticed one little line was missing and to be honest I don't even remember that part at all. Haven't seen any of the Turtles films in like 4 or 5 years. So I'll have to stick with the DVD in this case.

*zkarlette* · 01-04-2013, 09:01 PM

I had not noticed that line but I do prefer the DVD since it has a better resolution. I wish there was a DVD for behind the shells tho'.

What, you mean Rahzar didnt say "Hey, Leo!" first? Cause thats what my SOTO Special Edition says... Kidding.

I have to admit I never noticed this either, I have both but usually watch the dvd version just out of convenience. It honestly doesnt bother me too much since it doesnt really add to the characters, unlike the Han and Greedo scene. kudos to you for noticing!

Yeah, I guess I don't like it that much.

*MrPliggins* · 01-05-2013, 07:32 AM

The VHS is the only copy I own, but it's been in a shoebox for about 10 years and I haven't owned a VCR in about that long either. I couldn't imagine watching VHS on my HDTV though...Even DVD looks like crap on it.

Frankly, this is probably the best these films are ever going to look. I hope not. I would love to see an awesome restoration of the first film.

Whoa! Goosebumps, i might be a noob for being surprised by this but who cares, this caps have awesomely good resolution quality. Are Blu-Ray versions always better than DVD?

Yeah, that's the point of Blu-Ray. DVDs have a resolution of 720 by 480 (480p). Blu-Rays have a resolution of HD 1920 by 1080 (1080p). That means that when the film is blown up on your TV, it looks a hecka lot better.

For instance:

That's pretty odd, haven't got either version but I am pretty sure the dvd is better.

On an odd note my Stargate season where they are on the Nox world it has no sound for Apophis the whole episode, I was going to take it back but was afraid the whole batch had the same problem.
