RE: ***The NEW "official" Screenshots thread ***

Images from LeeThorogood's transfer are now up for comparison: LINK

Interesting to compare the four PAL transfers (Moth3r, Citizen, Grinder & LeeThorogood). Moth3r and Citizen are obviously sharpened a fair bit - for better or for worse. Grinder and Lee have a softer, more natural image; very similar to each other although Lee's are a little darker.

Cool! Thank you for including my release Moth3r! :D

As you say it's interesting to compare the 4 PAL releases although it has kinda got me worried comparing mine to the other three that I might have cropped off too much at the sides! I will have to check this when I get home.

Update: laserdisc screen comparison page now renamed.

Now working on a custom DVD comparison; need to add DJ's V1/V2 and g-force's release. Can anyone send me raw untouched BMPs of the 6 shots for these?

Will add DJ's V3 and Lee's Technicolor project when available.

Don't think that's possible, and also we wouldn't have the chance to make fun of you for it.

Fresh new batch of shots from msycamore's Technidisc SWE transfer.

Hi guys - I don't know if it's of any use to you but I have a 1986/7 VHS of ANH. Let me know anyway as I can always record it and upload it :-)

Are you sure it's from 1986?....It's more likely to be from 1984.....maybe?

What would be the acceptable method of grabbing frames from Harmy's v2.1 AVCHD?

 

I am aware that the frame reference page says this:

Notes on Screenshot Capturing
Every effort was made to ensure the images are as close to the actual DVDs as possible. All screenshots are in JPEG format at 100% quality.
The method used to create each image: Load the DVD VOB file into VirtualDubMod -> Copy the screenshots into Photoshop -> Save to JPEG

 

But as far as I can tell (after using VirtualDubMod and some quick Googling), VirtualDubMod is old and not under development, so it doesn't support .m2ts nor does it play well with the MKV which I muxed.

I want to have Harmy's DE project added to the screenshot comparisons, but I want to use the method which is most acceptable. I can find the individual frames using Media Player Classic, if that is allowed. If so, what render settings should I use?

Also... why ought I to save the files as JPEG and not PNG?

It's like it's quite possible that Picasso would have loved to use Photoshop for some of his paintings if it was available back then, but if you take a picture from Picasso and recreate it in Photoshop, it's not going to be the same picture and it can hardly be used to demonstrate Picasso's brush techniques.

These stickies are really overdue a revamp.

Even though the thread title says "new", this is a legacy of a time when laserdisc captures were the main push of the forum.

There's not really much point of creating a comparison for Harmy's project as there is nothing to compare it against. (Although if they were to be a downscaled DVD version I could add it to my Custom DVD page.)

Haven't seen anything from Zion for a few years so I doubt that his site is still active.

VirtualDubMod has never been recommended for taking screenshots, even for DVDs, as it alters the colours. The latest VirtualDub with the MPEG-2 plugin, or AviSynth with DGIndex/MPEG2Source would be my recommendation for DVDs. For MKV I'd try AviSynth with ffmpegsource. Not sure you could trust MPC not to apply any processing to the video that may affect the screenshot.

JPG is used because the file size is smaller than PNG, thus the screens are quicker to load.
