DVDBeaver is a site I'd highly recommend checking out; in addition to reviews they do frame captures and compare ...

... versions of films released in different formats, regions and zones. DVDbeaver reviews are more objective than most since their primary focus is image and sound quality rather than content.

While this site probably won't answer every question related to a specific title (they overlook many films and versions of films based upon the sheer volume of releases each week), they do provide a valuable service to collectors frustrated about the cost of double dipping to get better mastered copies of their favorite films. I always do a search through their current reviews and archives before deciding whether to replace DVDs with the same titles in Blu-ray.

Their screencap methods are a joke. If you want true screencaps of blu-rays go to blu-ray.com NT - Jazz Inmate 22:01:39 02/01/09 (6)

- DVD Beaver is fantastic - TK421 06:08:03 02/03/09 (2)
  These guys are operating on a shoe-string budget and continually provide some of the best comparisons on the net. Plus, they review a wide range of DVDs, not only the mainstream stuff.
  
  I'll take their reviews over the nut-jobs at Blu-ray.com any day.
  - That's fine if you don't like the editorial content, but DVD Beaver simply has less accurate caps than these - Jazz Inmate 12:25:28 02/05/09 (1)
    You can even click on each image to get the full resolution. DVD Beaver can't compete.

    - You miss the point. It isn't JUST the screen captures in Blu-ray, it's the comparisons. - Audiophilander 13:44:57 02/09/09 (0)
      If the comparison demonstrates a night/day difference, then it's more obvious that the Blu-ray would be a worthwhile upgrade over existing DVD; if not, then the consumer has enough information to make an informed decision. Blu-ray screen shots, by themselves, do not always tell the whole story; furthermore, you aren't going to get an evaluation of European versions of releases in both formats at the Blu-ray site. Capice?

  - I didn't want to see you in your skin tight black leather getup, but that didn't stop you from posting that NT - Jazz Inmate 12:26:24 02/05/09 (1)

    - If photos of men wearing tailored leather turns you on then that sounds like a personal problem! My suggestion: - Audiophilander 13:54:33 02/09/09 (0)
