It couldn't happen here ltd edition back at BFI

[Gabby]

I haven't watched the BluRay. Is it really noticeable?

I remember having the Results videos on VHS and everything was out of synch. I never checked the DVD to find out if it got fixed.

It is noticable because all the songs you know and love are a tad slower.

Yeah, you don't spot it in the dialogue but the songs all sound like your Walkman is running out of battery - weirdly it's more noticeable on some than others, I think West End Girls is the worst because it's already quite slow so it starts to exhibit ballad-like qualities, even with just that 4% reduction in speed. It's actually quite beautiful, just not the way the film was meant to be watched.

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but did anyone else get the BFI hacking email?

Apparently if you bought from their shop your details (passwords, username, payment details) could be at risk.

Just trying to offer a public service.

Me too. I bought PSB & KLF blu rays from them. Sadly, there's far too much of this slapdash security with our information on the internet.

it's not so much a matter of quality control but rather a choice of preservation. Do you want to digitize all the frames but have a slightly slower version of the movie or do you skip one frame to have it at the right speed? I would choose the first one, preservation is more important for me.
And as you said, you can rip the disc and fix it. This makes the disc the main source.

I'm pretty certain the method I followed kept all the frames, but just sped up the rate at which they play back - to match how it would have originally been. That's the ideal version. The Blu-ray has been restored at a slower frame rate than it should have been - hence the slow audio that accompanies it.

Yep. You don’t need to drop any frames. It’s well worth doing for my ears and picture remains completely smooth.
