America- The Wizard of Oz (1939) - 75th Ann./2013 ADDED

[Paul_Rudoff]

The is the current release of the movie widely available here in the U.S. It isn't already on the site (only the 3D version is listed for the 75th), even though it's almost five years old. Sadly, because of that, I made the mistake of buying it to replace a damaged copy of the 70th Anniversary Edition. It loses a LOT of bonus content from the 1-disc 70th Anniversary Edition, and only gains a new documentary and 2013 re-issue trailer.

In America, this release has no special title, so "2013 Re-Release" might be appropriate. It seems that it's a "75th Anniversary Edition" in other countries. Front and back cover art is seen here:

English Dolby DTS-HD??? TrueHD 5.1

I'm pretty sure there is a copy/paste error here. Could you correct it?

* Soundtracks (LANGUAGE, 2.0 MONO/STEREO/SURROUND): English Dolby DTS-HD??? TrueHD 5.1, English Dolby Digital 1.0, French Dolby Digital 5.1, German Dolby Digital 5.1, Italian Dolby Digital 1.0, Spanish/Castellano Dolby Digital 1.0, Portuguese Dolby Digital 1.0.
* Subtitles: Chinese (Traditional), Danish, Dutch, English HoH, Finnish, French, German HoH, Italian HoH, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish (Castilian), Spanish (Latin), Swedish.

Also, are there no Japanese audio/sub options on this 2013 release?

[Paul_Rudoff]

Corrected. BDInfo reports the main English audio as "DTS-HD Master Audio / 5.1 / 48 kHz".

No Japanese audio or subs. I have no idea why they dropped them, but they did. I can photograph the menus off my TV if you need proof.

You followed the instructions here, I assume. http://www.dvdcompare.net/forums/phpbb3 ... =9&t=33789
In that case you don't need to photograph it if Japanese menus don't appear at all.
A picture of the BDinfo report would be great, but if "Japanese" is not displayed in the report then we know it is not there.
Japan also released a reissue in 2013, so wondering if the same disc was used.

[Paul_Rudoff]

Looks like they might be hidden, as per that post you pointed me to. Here's the BDInfo report for the main movie file. Do note there were issues due to the copy-protection on the disc, so there's no bitrate data.

Looks like Japanese is on there. Thanks for checking.

Also seems the 75th AE Blu-rays are actually with the specs you posted above. I updated those as well. Thanks!
