Asian Vision (Scandinavia) on top
HK Video (France) on bottom

Caps from other versions would be appreciated too

HungFist:
Just a little word of advice...Try to find static frames to avoid combing.
Your first 2 caps are a mess.

Sorry HungFist, but I think your AV DVD is seriously screwed-up.

Too dark in some caps, contrast-boosted on the last one.

Combing/blurring happens on my DVD player (say on the IVL OUATIC or Police Story sets or The Simpsons sets) if I have the video set up wrong.

Yup, I thought it was good, but the only time I watched the film was years ago when I rented the dvd. Bought it later without watching it and only now realized the quality.

That's intentional, I wanted to make sure everyone notices what a mess this this disc is. We're not trying to find caps that don't show the problems, right

The combining is noticable on my 28" TV. There's also some pixelization during some scenes (didn't show up on screencaps). Other than that Asian Vision looks better to my eyes.

Agreed. Brad, please post caps of your R1 Tartan.

I wonder how the upcoming R4 Madman release will fair?

According to DVDBeaver the Tartan R2UK is even worse.

Sometimes the picture source has to be set to "Video (Active)" on the picture source menu of my player, in the case of The Simpsons and the IVL Police Story/OUATIC movies, (*playing a DVD with video elements with a lot of movement*) instead of the normal "Auto" (*for playing a DVD with video and film elements*)., to stop any combing.

Sorry if that didnt make sense

Its what my DVD manual says

I don't own it sorry. I went off the idea, no reason I just never got around to buying it.
