To be honest, I caps I posted are not good quality.. they're just for preview purposes, not really for serious comparisons. That greenish tinge in the first shot is actually not present in that scene, it's probably some result of jpg compression.


Whew

I agree with that statement. My ANH disc sits on a single-layer DVDR (I used CCE 3-pass VBR with an average bitrate of about 5060kbps), and there is no discernable difference between the output at the end of the filter chain and the image stored on the DVD.

I have a question, how does uncompressed video compare to compressed video?

Please PM for address to send the free dog shit to.

It depends on a large amount of factors....

like...what the source video looks like before compression. What kind of compression scheme you use. At what bit-rate, q level etc etc.

There are all these factors that determine what your video will look like.

In a nutshell, MPEG compression will in most cases create "blocky" artifacts. To see these artifacts, look at the black areas on a DVD. You'll notice these "waves" so to speak of boxy mosquitos floating around. The source material won't have these.

What’s the internal temperature of a TaunTaun? Luke warm.

The biggest difference if you are encoding at a high enough rate to not get blockiness is the colour, but yep, it totally depends on your source and the encoder and the bitrate and so on, so there is no definitive answer.
In short though, if encoded properly at decent bitrates, there will be very little difference even on stills.

I have a confession, I only asked the question for the free dog shit.

Who is giving away this alleged "free" dog shit and how do I get me a piece of the pie? Is this Original dog shit or Special Edition dog shit?

Has the dog shit been compressed and if so does this make it in anyway noticabley different from the source dog shit?

HARMY RULES

I've been watching the forum here for a while, and one thing that I've not seen much of, with a few exceptions, are screenshots of the DVD menus on fan-produced preservation of the OT. I've started a thread under the "Preservation And Fan Edits" heading in hopes that people might post screenshots here just for comparison purposes. Hopefully, I am not the only person interested in the stylistic directions that the folks working on these various productions take, so please, if you have a completed fan preservation, post a few screenshots of what your menus look like, as many of these are often little works of art in and of themselves.

Nope, because I haven't been able to mail them due to a problem with a media vendor. It is now resolved and I am planning to send out the first batch after the holiday weekend is over.

Are you planning to send a complementary copy to George Lucas ;-) ?

Will the ordered discs have official cover art and/or disc labels? Sorry to ask but OCPMovie spoiled us with his beautifully printed DVDs.

As I recall, the movie was scheduled come out on July 3, but then it got pushed ahead a day to the 2nd. As you may (or may not) recall, the movie starts 2 days before, on the 2nd, ending on the 4th of July.

May I also point out that a post made on Saturday, July 2, could also be referring to the Canada Day long weekend...

(...in which case the discs could have been en route as early as tomorrow.)
