Question about Lost on Blu Ray

[Vid]

So I was watching Lost Season 4 on Blu Ray the other day (which looks great btw) and I noticed something. When I was watching I kept noticing these "white specs or dots" that kept popping up during episodes. My question is this, are these white dots or specs normal? are they part of the film? Or are my disks defective or something? Any help is much appreciated.

most likely "digital noise" happens alot which high-def content.

Lost is shot on fillm so it may be dirt/dust from the original negative or on the telecine machine during the transfer.

Sounds kinda.. lame.. though.

I was planning on getting a Blu Ray player next year, after downloading Watchmen in HD on the XBL movie store and being blown away by the awesomeness of it.. But if there's little scratchy dot things on playing actual Blu Ray discs, I might wait until the standard gets higher

Any film that has to be transfered to a digital format can have these sort of marks if done poorly. Watchmen on XBL is probably the same transfer as the Watchmen Bluray. It isn't the format that is the problem, it just sounds like a bad transfer of Lost.

Cool, thanks. Hopefully they'll sort this out for the Complete LOST on Blu Ray then

I've got the first 4 seasons all on Blu-Ray (and getting season 5 for Christmas ) , and none of mine have had these issues. You might want to check the disk(s) on a different player with different cables. The problem could be anywhere in there.

And hopefully bring the price down. £44.99 each on Play.com.

I'd check the cables as well. I've never had that prob with blu ray though...
