so...the 2nd disc aka the DVD...is just extra features?

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

yup.

Pretty good review. Dont know why he refers to the mandarin track as the original language. Sounds like a good release to me.

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

....so...why not just keep them on the BD?

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

It's a 25 GB disc, the movie likely takes up most, if not all of the disc.

I watched Ip Man 2 a few days ago, does anyone know if the entire audio mix is a dub? It seemed that, even the English speaking parts were slightly off with the video. It kinda irked me, anyone know?

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

they're doing 2 separate BD releases: standard edition with some extras & Collectors editions with all the extras. I think they simply took the standard edition BD and packaged a DVD with the remaining extras and slapped a "collector's edition" cover on it.

unsmiley face :(

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

LOL...I know. But according to the review, the extras on disc 1 are presnted in 1080i. I dont recall anything on the HK or UK discs being in HD. (maybe the UK disc.)

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

This is correct according to the DVDActive review. After reading this, I'm glad I opted for the Universe release.

Here's the DVDBeaver review as well:

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

I found this release to be lackluster. Sure, WellGoUSA finally put a movie in 1080p, but there are some problems with this transfer. The colors seem muted and unnatural, especially when it comes to skin tones. There are some jaggies to be found and some disturbances whenever the camera moves make a move. I am very disappointed in this release and think that the 1080i transfers they did for the Shaw Brothers movies are better than this one.

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

It doesnt look that bad to me. I never picked up the HK disc but for $20, i think this is a better deal anyways. mine should be here any day now. beaver's review states that BD extras are HD but dvdactive says thery're SD? wierd.

BTW, just ordered Ip Man 2 from DDDhouse. I thought about waiting but Winter limited theatrical release then DVD/BD in the Spring 2011....waaaay too long.

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

I just watched a friend's copy of the WellGo version and it doesn't look as good as the Universe release. I thought the review here was spot on.

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

Well mine just came in and Im FURIOUS!!! its got scuffs and stains all over the movie disc and its completely locked up on my player!!! can I get some suggestions on cleaning the disc or whether I should just return it? (i got it off amazon)

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

Interesting...Mine was exactly the same way. :(
(I haven't watched it yet, so I'm not sure if it locks up though. But its likely, the disc looks terrible.)

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

We're not alone. a few ppl on another forum r complaining as well. I just cleaned mine but nothing happened. it still locks up. I have a feeling it may just be a bad batch of discs. what should I do?

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

i'd email this guy: [email protected]

that's the address i used during the shaw bros. fiasco

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

I'm working on my review of the Collector's Blu as we speak for the site I write on. My findings were fairly consistent with the consensus here, but not quite as harshly. The transfer isn't amazing but it is very watchable. I loved the movie though and I'll certainly be keeping this one, btw I didn't have any problems with my copy. The review should be up this evening sometime if anybody wants a slightly different view.

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

Thank you. I've done just that!

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

Crap. Well, here's hoping I find a good deal on the HK release. :(

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

Yeah...HK release for me.

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

wow. couldn't they have just taken the universe transfer and maybe did a little tweaking here and there? As I have the universe dvd and there is no ghosting/motion bluring during camera movements at all. Sounds like they used a pal sourced transfer

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

breathtaking!

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

I have the Universe DVD too and there is some blurring particularly when master Jin comes to challenge Ip Man at his house. I noticed that on Well Go's BD as well.

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

I watched this over the weekend (Well Go release), and there was horrible ghosting/smearing in all the dark scenes. It was incredibly distracting. Really disappointed.

Re: Ip Man - 7/27/10 from Well Go USA
 

the HK (and I think the UK one too) is region A. As far as I know...they don't have that issue.
