so am i right in saying that the newest dil se dvd, although it does not have any dei logos, is done by dei?
if so, is there any difference between the two prints?
has anyone compared the two?
No! if it doesn’t have the DEI logo it's most likely not done by DEI. Eros probably had it 're-mastered' i.e. reprocessed the DEI mastered DVD and made it worse! Eros did this because of their dispute with DEI – as I understood it, Eros couldn’t use the DEI menus – so they had them redone – by doing so ruined the video that DEI did in the procedure – hence the DVDs Eros re-released under the Eros/B4U label nearly always had inferior picture.
The two DEI versions of Dil Se I refer to are the original ones released under DEI/Eros label; it was released a second time labelled ‘Platinum Edition’ – I think the end credits were missing on the first version and picture is alleged to be better on the Platinum.
Having said that – ones without any DEI logos on might well still turn out to be a DEI mastered DVD – only that they have mixed up the packaging or done some dodgy replication business. I’ve had few different DVDs on the Eros label alone (or Eros/B4U) that have turned out to be DEI mastered DVDs. One of them, Deewaar, has the Eros/B4U logos on the cover and disc –if you play it, you find it’s the original that was mastered by DEI. It’s just pot luck which you get.
If it still can be sourced the Dil Se Platinum Edition on Eros/DEI label is the one to have.
