i know that there are 2 versions by edko, one that has a crappy pal to ntsc transfer, and one that is fixed. is this the "fixed version"? i'd love to see this with dts sound and a correct uncut version of the movie

the korean r3 is the best version IMHO, full bitrate dits plus very nice picture.

The HK Edko disc is also 1509 kb/s DTS. The Korean and HK discs have different video transfers. The Korean version has better compression, but I tend to favor the colors and contrast on the Edko disc.

Rypro, yes that disc you linked to should be the right one. As far as I know, the original release with the terrible PAL-to-NTSC transfer should be long out of print.

There is of course also the domestic Blu-ray, which is notoriously crappy by current Blu-ray standards but nonetheless does still look a little better than any of the existing DVD editions. It is, however, just the US cut of the film.

The uncut version was released on Blu-ray in France, but unfortunately that disc is locked to Region B. Video quality is more-or-less the same as the American Blu-ray.

i dont' have blu (im cheap). I was wondering, how are the subtiles on both the korean and hk discs?

Re: is this the best version of "House of Flying Daggers"?
 

no issues with the korean disc subtitles, not sure about the Edko disc.

The English subtitle translation is the same on all of the versions of this movie I own, except that the Korean copies are mistakenly missing half a sentence in the first scene due to an authoring error. Dialogue in that scene is a litle confusing as a result, but otherwise it's fine.
