Does anyone have the out of print French Blu Ray? From looking at caps-a-holic the German release has better colors and the French release has extra image so a combination of the two could work well - but the French disc is not easy to find.

I don't have the full BD but I have cut-down 12GB version if that helps.

Stay away from the French disc. It's junk. I got it from a friend in the hopes that it's better then the German BD. It's not. The video is very smeary. I was warned about this and I didn't believe him until I saw it myself. You may want to check out the Disney+ version, if it's available in the wild. It looks better then the German BD on first glance. But without a proper rip I can judge it.

I think this is a pick the lesser of two evils choice, but I'd lean toward the German release. The French release has a pretty hefty contrast boost and a bit of a yellow tint. This makes some of the darker scenes maybe look better than the GER, but it also makes a lot of other scenes look terrible. There's also more smeary noise reduction on the FRA disc which is never a good thing. GER disc also has English titles.
bendermac, you see The 13th Warrior available for streaming in GER D+ right now?
