It’s only for the 1st quarter and the audio issue doesn’t occur with Youtube replays of the GF (which I watch far too many times to my family’s bewilderment). The 3rd and 4th quarters are fine (didn’t check the 2nd quarter haha). Expand Is there a trick to get to the other calls ? If i choose aw i still get 7 Quote

Premiers21 1 Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 Has anyone got the DVD Victory Pack. Is the picture good if you use your Bluray player to upscale the DVD picture? Cheers Quote
Range Rover to the snow 146 Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) It doesn't matter whether you use the Blu-ray player or the TV to do upscaling - there's still only a 720x576i picture to work with. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear through upscaling. Far better to just watch the replays through afl.com.au (or through the AFL app if you need to AirPlay/Chromecast to the big screen) which are 1. free and 2. 1280x720p... (As an aside, the Herald Sun shop finally got my mug to me 😄) Edited December 29, 2021 by Range Rover to the snow Quote
Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 I thought the victory pack would include the bluray? Lucky I got both! The full season pack inludes the GF in both DVD and Blu-ray I believe Quote
Premiers21 1 Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 So it appears to be the consensus that it's no use buying the Victory Pack with only DVD quality. Probably wait until next year or after when the pack is discounted right down. I see the Tigers 2020 Victory Pack now sells for about $25 and their 2017 pack for about $5! I have the game(s) on my Foxtel IQ so have HD available at present 1 Quote

Not because we are not worthy but because the Jag group have lost considerable market share over the last two years. There sales have tanked substantially and I wondered if cost cuts might be the end of the MFC sponsorship. Obviously not. They are changing to all electric so perhaps they see us as a good vehicle to show off their new electric cars. Edited January 6, 2022 by old dee 3 Quote

Expand I've done the same as you, I was rather annoyed when I got the Victory Pack and when I played the GF the lines on the ground were shimmering and distorted.

picket fence 18,190 Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 As iterated elsewhere, I purchased the whole season package from Sanity which comprises EVERY ONE of our games throughout the 2021 season. The finals are in BLU RAY Format and at $ 144.95 to me it is the "Investment of a lifetime" Also with it is a retrospective "Highlights" package as well! I'm Happy!😁 2 Quote

I went and bought a blu ray player and it wasnt much better till I upped the resolution to 1080 (isnt that a poison?) My local Sanity has 50% off everything but the chance of it having AFL is very remote. 1 Quote

I found copies online of every game in 1080p including multiple commentary tracks for the QF and didn't have to pay a cent. It's only just over 200GB in total too so you could fit it on 4 or 5 Blu-ray discs (50gb each I think). Surely the AFL/distributors can give us some better quality asking us to pay in excess of $100. 1 Quote
