Hi,
since this thread was coming up a few months ago (I think)... the question about the Caballero re-releases of some Blake stuff came up.
Saki said that he planned to order a few DVDs and then see for himself.
So how do they compare?? Is the quality as bad as the David releases, or is it really 'remastered' ?
Thanks

Sorry, I did say that I would post reviews on them. I'm severely backlogged on the discs that I have to review.
To answer your question, in my opinion, Caballero did a worse job at mastering the re-releases. The image quality is slightly better than the DaViD versions, and the frame misalignment problem with House of Dreams is fixed, but there are the same video distortions that look suspiciously like VHS dropouts. And there might be an audio problem on Night Trips.
But what takes the cake is the way that Caballero had the discs mastered. Rather than encoding the movie on one title with chapter breaks, they put each scene on a different title. That will trigger a pause on just about every DVD player equivalent to a long layer switch between every single scene. It's painfully distracting to the point that I'll live with the crappy DaViD release just because it doesn't have the pausing between the chapters.
Save your money...it's too bad that Andrew Blake doesn't have the rights to his early movies, because I know he would go back and do the DVDs right.

Saki, nothing of great importance, so I didn't start a new thread. I read your review of Decadence. I only saw it on VHS at that time and I wonder if in that extra-scene/film "Private Property" AB captures the Concorde or is Draghixa simply sitting at her seat (and this could have been filmed anywhere...).
Also, if anybody else has the answer...

Having never been on the Concorde, I can't say for sure. The seats and window configuration in the shot looks pretty similar to the photos of Concorde interiors that are on the Internet. Personally, I just assumed that AB used stock exterior footage of a Concorde in flight and then used pickup footage in the interior of a private jet.

Probably. Thanks, Saki.
