TOS Blu-ray menu screenshot request

[Extrocomp]

Can someone post an image of the TOS Blu-ray menu, specifically the part where you choose between the original and remastered effects?

I would like to know how how the process works. Do you have to select the original or remastered version only once, with the selection automatically applying to all episodes on the disc or do you have to select for each episode? Does the version selection screen pop up before or after you select the episode?

There's no play all, you choose between the two versions for each episode as you go. You can also switch versions on the fly using the angle button.

Ah yes, the angle button. It seemed like such a revolutionary idea back when it first came onto the home video scene with the DVD format, opening up so many interesting possibilities for the home viewing experience. But then hardly any titles actually made use of it!

I've never seen a single alternate angle in thousands of hours of video disk use.

I haven't used it to toggle TOS versions either. I watch the version I start.

Almost forgot... for OP's request for an actual screenshot of the menu where you choose what version of the episode to start playing, here's the one for TCOTEOF:

I see. So each time you select an episode, that menu pops up. That's convenient.

There were a few discs that I've seen use it for visual effects breakdowns and examples of multi-camera coverage. "Thirteen Days" and "Master and Commander," offhand (I've been ripping my discs for a home media server, so the special features I had to just put aside since I can't view them as intended are fresh in my mind).

Does the angle button work if you press it before the effects sequence or only during the effects sequence?

If you press it during the effects sequence, does the screen go black for a second or is the transition smooth like when switching audio tracks?

It switches the “branch” no matter what kind of shot you’re on, but you won’t see an obvious change unless/until it’s on one of the shots that was redone. On my Blu-ray player, after you press the button, it takes a second or so to switch between branches, but it doesn’t go to black or pause the audio.

Yeah, I remember it being more prevalent in the early days of DVDs. I vaguely recall watching a DVD of a sporting event where it was probably put to the best use, since that was something where there were a lot of camera angles recorded and easily synced.

 

[Kor]

Yes, it was used more for discs of live events like sports and concerts that used multiple cameras simultaneously. Having a movie scene using a different angle would require a new version of the scene to be produced.
