Question about AFL Bluray quality

[Spagman]

Hey can any Doggies fans (or other teams) that picked up the Bluray of their GF win last year let me know what the quality was like?

Is it actual high quality 1080p bluray?

Keen to pick up the Tigers GF bluray, but if it's just the DVD copy on a Bluray that gets upscaled, they can cram it. I'm not wasting money on that.

The DVD quality has been poor. 2014 was particularly bad.

 

[Spagman]

I assumed as much. The majority of AFL merchandise is pathetic in terms of quality. Apparantly on the 2017 DVD some of the radio audio doesn't align to the game if you choose that option....

I wanna get the bluray for a Xmas pressie for my old man though, so hopefully the quality is decent at least.

LOL fair call. it is a serious question though, everyone I speak to says that the DVD's the AFL puts out are pretty shit overall in terms of features, quality and menus etc... so I'm hoping at at a bare minimum that the image quality is good and not just the standard crap bitrate used in the broadcast.

2015 was worse, depending on the dvd player and tv screen........ at its worse it looked like watching a late 90's .asf video file............ or watching it under water. The blu-ray was much better, pretty much as good/if not better than the 7HD broadcast.

Never got the Bulldogs blu-ray so I can't say if it the quality would have improved (or gone backward).

Quality much better than 1980 VHS

LOL - with the AFL though, you can never assume anything

Is the Tigers DVD really poor quality?

Didn't even know they did Blu-Rays... thought they scrapped it after 2011

Have never seen one at retail since... only DVD, do you order through the AFL or club these days?

They scrapped them for years. 2015 blu-ray was only available in the ultimate collection box set (which was basically the 3 finals series victory packs combined with 3 bonus matches from each 13 14 15 season).

The Bulldogs bluray was available separately AND re released not long ago in the Bulldogs reissued box set (box set contained every game of the season).

Yep it's rubbish. Almost unwatchable. I want my money back. The audio that matches with the radio stations and the vision is a good one and a half seconds out of sync too.

Yeah, they haven't had Bluray for quite some time. The Richmond one is advertised on JB's website, but until I see it as released, I won't believe it (they also had the Swans 2012 advertised, and that never materialised). The DVD wasn't much chop either (but still worth a watch ).

That's pretty bad. Might be worth sending a complaint to the company that published it.

It always is, they must be in a rush to send the dvd out or something.

Are you referring to the Tigers 2018 Premiership DVD?

2017. 2018 won't happen.

Don't you have the entire 2016 Bulldogs season?

It’s gotta be better than VHS. That’s all we have as Melbourne supporters to re-watch our finals on.

Maybe they'll release this picture in HD.

The older box set doesn't have the bluray!
