Great video Sean! As for why the Magic Railroad Blu-ray is region locked when most Blu-ray releases aren't, I haven't the foggiest idea. I don't own much of anything from Shout Factory so I'm unsure if that's standard practice from them. You're 100% correct about picture quality, it's a major difference between Blu-ray and DVD. Your comedic timing always improves with each video, keep it up my British brother!

I actually found out why it doesn’t work but I forgot to mention lol, shout factory don’t have the rights to distribute in the UK at all from what they’ve said via twitter, so I’d have to buy a hacked blu ray (probably 4K at this point) player. But I really appreciate the… appreciation! I’m glad people enjoy this style of video with all the technical terms etc (:

@@LegoLover117 From what I heard. Shout Factory doesn't appear to have a UK branch. In my opinion, a simple work around, could be that since Warner Bros. owns the home media distribution rights to TATMR in the UK (whereas the US rights belong to Sony), maybe Shout Factory could approach the UK branch of Wanner Bros. and be like "Hey! Can ya put this out in the UK?!".

Sean, say no more. You had me at "We have cookies". It's the good kind too, straight out of Sainsbury's! See, I get why people like Blu-ray. A lot of people really really want Hi Def quality. People never complained about video quality before Blu-ray, but regardless... I think the problem with Blu-ray is that you require a specific player for the discs, which means spending a fair bit on just a player, never mind the discs. That being said, I don't really mind the lack of HD quality. I grew up back when DVDs were brand new, and were practically witchcraft because of the technology (smaller laserdiscs!), so the lack of high definition never bothered me as long as the movie entertains me. I prefer convenience over fancy design in this case... I don't think I owned a Blu-ray until 2015, when I bought the 25th anniversary of Back to the Future... The one show that deserves a Blu-Ray release that I will pick up in 2.8 seconds? Ed, Edd n Eddy. As for Magic Railroad, there was hype for the Blu-ray release because they thought it would be that godforsaken original cut. I remember that much... If the movie lost hype, it'll be when the fans discovered it was only the theatrical cut.
@ElliottEntertainmentChannel3 жыл бұрын
Yeah…I was disappointed when the original cut was only in the bonus features and It wasn’t even reconstructed with the other scenes in the movie it was literally just the deleted scenes and nothing else. The picture of the blu-ray did not look that good at all. It looked like the DVD as someone else pointed out. That movie deserves a better blu-ray release. No matter how bad it might be
@JAProductions4942 жыл бұрын
8:25 (geek talking here) Technically it CAN qualify for a Blu-Ray release. It won’t look as good but it can still be upscaled a bit. I say that because the older episodes of Doctor Who were shot in SD yet it’s been getting Blu-Ray releases (and it still does look quite good - I certainly noticed a difference)

Great video! Your videos keep on getting better and better. You’ve been one of the main Thomas content creators I’ve watched since I got back into the the franchise, and you’ve inspired me to get some Thomas DVDs again (mainly the full season dvds and the specials). I know this isn’t exactly related to the main subject of the video, but I remember getting a box set about 7 years ago that had Misty Island Rescue, Day of the Diesels, Blue Mountain Mystery and King of the Railway. I believe it also had a full version of that nice art on the King of the Railway blu-ray. Do you know anything about it? I tried looking on the internet but I couldn’t find any info.

1:00 This statement frustrates me because resolution is probably the least significant factor when it comes to video quality. Bitrate and compression are far bigger factors in video quality. The only reason people think that 480p looks bad is because that's what KZfaq want's them to think. KZfaq is very biased towards 1080p and 4K when it comes to bitrate, which leaves 480p looking terrible on the platform. However, DVD generally has a high bitrate and is less compressed, which allows a higher quality image that can look just as good as blu-ray. TL;DR 480p is actually good, and it only gets a bad rap because of how terrible KZfaq's compression is.
