A note about a disc replacement for the Blu-ray from the BFI:
After the release of our Dual Format Edition of Yasujiro Ozu’s An Autumn Afternoon we became aware that the Blu-ray Disc was encoded at a lower bit-rate than we would normally insist upon. In response to this, we have re-authored and re-pressed the project, and replacement discs are now available. If you are dissatisfied with the quality of the original Blu-ray Disc and would like a replacement, please contact Ben.Stoddart@bfi.org.uk giving details of your name and address and a new disc will be sent to you.
The original disc was 14GB in size. The replacement disc is 24GB in size. -
Special thanks to Rewind user Daniel_Rudolph for providing these specifications.
