I posted a review of the Panasonic DMR-ES10's excellent comb filter here: http://forum.lddb.com/viewtopic.php?p=33347#p33347
Enjoy!

Well, I have a Panasonic DMR-EA18 DVD Recorder here. I don't know if that helps any?
Let's try that one as well. Sound good?

So, is Conexant CX23881 bad?
No, it's a good chip and the TV2000XP Expert is a good card.
I just don't know if it has an excellent comb filter. I'd love to do some testing with you to determine if it does.
Since I'm unfamiliar with testing things proper like I'd probably need some guidance .... a nurse maid even, to try and get you some answers .... but I would consider trying.
:)
Awesome. What timezone are you in? I'd like to set a time for us to chat.
I'm in the U.S., Central Time Zone.
I found this .....

OK, cool. I'm in EST.
Do you have any other equipment we can test while we're at it? Any DVD recorders with passthrough (outputs as well as inputs)?

I don't know much about it, but the Leadtek WinFast PVR3000 uses the excellent NEC µPD64015 (D64015AGM, in particular) 3D comb filter that's found in the very-high-end Pioneer DVR-LX* series of machines.
I've got a Leadtek WinFast TV2000XP Expert, how does it stand up AntcuFaalb?
Unlike all other TV2000XP cards (e.g., Deluxe), the WinFast TV2000XP Expert is based on the Conexant CX23881.
I don't know anything about its comb filter. Do you own a copy of the Video Essentials LD?
Alternatively, I can send you a copy of the S&W pattern from Digital Video Essentials and you can burn it to a DVD and hook a DVD player up to your card using a composite cable to test the comb filter.

Gotta love being an English major. Ever since I decided I wasn't sure I wanted to be a teacher everyone's been telling me I'm doomed and should really switch. *sigh*
What are your career plans?
It's not necessarily about the major. I know of people who chose to earn a major in their favorite subject because their current job was funding it and just wanted them to have "Bachelors in X" on file.
The real question is: How do you intend to earn money when you're done with school?
If you can't answer this question, then I'd start working on answering it ASAP.
Thanks for this information, Ady. I love reading this stuff!

I want to buy a capture card with a better comb filter than mine's...
Have you checked out the Leadtek WinFast PVR3000 yet?

Seems you have a different mastering than Arnie.d's X9 cap
Interesting... I can understand that there was re-pressings made but you have to wonder why a new mastering took place of these releases. My JSC ESB proved to be a different mastering compared to Arnie.d's ESB cap as well.
It's stuff like this that makes me wary of TooT'ing three captures from three different pressings of the same LD release; e.g., TooT'ing captures from three different JSC sets, like what althor1138 wants to do.
Without a bunch of safeguards in place, you have to perfectly spatially- and temporally-align each capture. This usually isn't difficult, but how would you know if one of the three sets has a quirk (like the different mastering above) without doing a frame-by-frame scan?
I wish we had a good method for dropout/rot detection. I'd really prefer to do one excellent capture and fix dropouts/rot manually in PFClean.

Probably flying blind. People just assume that everything will work out if they work hard and follow their passions, but we all know that this is BS.
I think it's part of this whole "we aren't a vocational school" attitude that high school faculty/staff have nowadays. It's almost as if they're afraid to discuss careers outside of academia with students.
I went to an average public high school in New Jersey and post-HS plans were only discussed once or twice in prearranged meetings with "guidance" counselors.
I think they just assumed that everyone would go to some kind of college and figure out their future plans there. Unfortunately, many (most?) of those college-bound students fly blind during those four years and wind up in a situation like your friend.

Does anyone have the R3 or R2J GOUT release?
I've heard that the cropping is different, so I'm interested in comparing them to the R1 release to see if anything else is different.
If this is where you heard it: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Star-Wars-Trilogy-Original-Theatrical-Versions-2006-DVD-Flaw-List/post/594821/#TopicPost594821
It's because none was unaware of the additional cropping that took place in g-force stabilization script, hence the minor difference in his comparisons.
Thanks for this information, msycamore.
You saved me a lot of money! I was about to order it from an Asian online shop.

So, I'm back in the dating game, I guess. I'm not looking for a relationship, just someone to go out with, I need to take some time to heal.

The telnet thing was very cool, but the traceroute didn't work for me. Is it because my isp limited the hops to 30?
Probably, yes.

Two of my friends just graduated from a four year university, one got a political science degree and another majored in history. The political science major is in graduate school now for a degree in analytics, and the history major is working at Food Lion.
Questions:
1 What did your History-major-friend plan to do upon graduation?
2 What did he think he'd be able to do with his History degree?
I'm interested to know if he had failed plans or just failed to think ahead.
Was he flying blind?

I generally consider all undergraduate degrees useless. They are easy to obtain and the market is over saturated with them. Undergraduate education is the new high school diploma, and who hangs their high school diploma on the wall?
I know it's only anecdotal, but I make a six-figure salary + benefits with my useless CS undergraduate degree and I'm only 2.5 years out of university. This is not uncommon amongst computer programmers, IIRC.
Undergraduate degrees are only useless if you choose the wrong major*. I don't think everyone should choose to pursue a STEM degree, of course, but we should be preparing prospective undergrads for the reality of the job market that they'll encounter after graduation rather than filling their heads with the standard "follow your dreams" nonsense.
* None of this applies if one plans to pursue higher degree(s) and/or plans to go into academia.

If Mark is going to be the Obi Wan of the new trilogy, it's not the Old Indy scenario at all.
Agreed.
I saw that on HackerNews a few days (weeks?) ago. It's definitely clever.
Try telnet'ing into towel.blinkenlights.nl
Enjoy!

Lowered black level and increased contrast, colour saturation reduced slightly, cropped and resized:

Despite all the funky stuff going on, this looks quite nice (keep in mind this is a compressed version).
I think that does look really good. I'd like to do something like this and sync the audio and move on to ESB. I'm trying to follow the "less is more" mantra so that I and anybody else interested in having this will have a "raw" version without temporal or spatial filtering messing up any small detail.
Thank you for thinking like this.
I plan to do the same thing for my forthcoming captures.

What snowflake are you talking about?
I think he's trying to say that we're being overly-critical of small (relative to the entire film) color choices.

The blackmagic Intensity is a great capture card, except for composite video.
Its comb filter is hideous, you would need to use an external comb filter before getting to the Intensity.
I want to buy a capture card with a better comb filter than mine's...
So, maybe the ATI HD 750 will be a good choice... or not?
Althor1138 seems to have obtained good results with it!
I own an ATI Theater HD 750 and can verify that the AGC issue plaguing the 650 is still present.
