Lol I was referencing the surround setting on a legend of Zelda game for n64 that used very good matrixed surround. Sorry for going massively off topic.

Hey poita, this might be a strange request, but would you be willing to release an anamorphic video? (Determine the correct x264 SAR for stretching the image to the proper AR). I’m just curious how the result would look in comparison to prestretched.

Preferred Saga:
1/2: Hal9000
3: L8wrtr
4/5: Adywan
6-9: Hal9000

The correct SAR would be 2:1. All scope films have a 2:1 “squeeze” which would equal a 2:1 pixel aspect ratio assuming you didn’t resize the scan at all. There’s not much point in doing that though as people will either have HD or UHD devices, neither of which would benefit from extra resolution thrown at it.

I’m not sure if any current monitor can benefit from it.
I haven’t looked at the 21:9 monitors, but even if there was one that could potentially take advantage, what would you play it back with?

The only situation I think it could work would be a 4K projector with a scope lens attached.

That’s kinda a long time. Has anyone here had contact with him outside of the forums?

I heard from him in late August. He’s taking a break from things.

Hi guys, I had some surgery a little while back, it didn’t go great, and I’ve lost use of one of my arms from the shoulder down.

I’m awaiting an appointment with another surgeon to see what might be able to be done. I don’t want to get it into it much here, but I am considerably slowed down by this.

I will be offline for a bit longer.

So sorry to hear that, Poita. I wish you a speedy recovery. As Neverar said, take all the time you need.

Dear Poita,
I’m a newbie on this forum and I just discovered your work recently… I hope you’ll be fine and I wish you all the best.

Seconding all of this… although my first thought was something more explicit than “cow.” Hope you get better soon, Poita. This community can’t afford the loss of your arms, much less the loss of you.
