Does anyone here have an ATI Theater 550 Pro?

I only have one film to go by, but I have to agree.

Don't see the other two. They're worse.

I have NO problem with motion smearing, checkerboards or the like (scenes changes are also not affected in any way). I use very lets say "convervative" approach on filtering inside the 560. Setting are all set to "minimum" or "full motion" (no temporal smearing). I think Pioneer used all their experience from the high-end Laserdiscs players and put them into these things. The combfilter is great.

Checkerboarding is a common 3D comb filter artifact. Most 3D comb filters exhibit it on sharp shot-changes.

It looks like this...

(Hint: Look at the weird pattern on the dancer's arm.)

Are you positive that you don't see this at all with the 560H?

I hate you all.

I have the 750 card, but it keeps crashing. I'll have another go sometime and see if it has AGC issues.

Do you have a copy of Windows XP lying around?

Asaki said:

IMO, ESB and RotJ are better.

They've still got their brightness and color timing tweaked with for home viewing, but they don't have the chroma shift/bleed/smear/whatever that ANH has.

Are you sure that's not a 3D comb filter artifact?

I haven't seen any smearing with my JSC ANH and my eyes are pretty sensitive to that kind of artifact.

I'm among a minority, but I think TPM has a lot going for it, ruined mostly by Jar Jar and the bizarre pacing.

I agree with you. Despite its flaws, I believe that TPM feels more like the OT than the other two.

I forgot to include the DVD-ROM folder with the original torrent. It's now available as a separate torrent at a MySpleen near you!

My questions are: Where the heck did the source come from? Where did it go? Why did they do a new 1985 mix?

I believe that a sans-Greedo-subtitles IP print was made prior to doing the IP prints for the theatrical run.

There's a lot of evidence besides (a lack of) Greedo's subtitles to support this. For instance, the JSC lacks the "Tantive Orange Errors" (http://tx0.org/6jd) that were present in every theatrical print, including the IB Technicolor prints.

captainsolo said:

And are the ESB and ROTJ JSC releases as impressive as SW? If so...my wallet is disturbed by lack of contents.

IMO, yes!

Ady's workin his butt off to finish things up....still tryin' for the end of this year. Probably no new video clips...though he HAS been dropping the occasional still photo of his model work on FB. This IS more or less the final stretch.....just a question of how long a stretch it will be. 

I wish there was some way for me to help out... :-(

Oh, I almost forgot: I have qBittorrent configured to require encryption, so make sure you have it at least enabled before downloading.

Now seeding at a MySpleen near you.

Come and get it while Freeleech is ON!

Por fin!  Hey man, your PM box is full.  Can't write you back.  It'll be nice to have these and compare with retarted's set.

It shouldn't be full anymore. Shoot me a PM!

Does anyone here have an ATI Theater 550 Pro?

OK, I'll be putting this on MySpleen either tonight or tomorrow. I'll update this thread when it's done!

I'm sorry for the absurdly-long wait!

Can we assume that C1AB00002379 > C1AB00001979?

Is there a list online somewhere of every DVD recorder Panasonic ever made?

There are many pre-BD HDTVrips of this floating around Usenet and RuTracker.

Should I start downloading them to check them out?

So this is the one you guys are talking about correct?

http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-Theater-PCIE-Tuner-Card/dp/B003F8O690/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3FNYQ0DFNN1CP&coliid=IWESQTQ8WK53Z

also will this capture audio as well, and if so how does that get hooked up? always need audio for sync jobs lol.

Thanks

Yes, that's it.

It looks like it uses a 1/8" stereo connection for audio.

Thanks

No problem. Let us know if you decide to buy this card.

All of the links in althor1138's post are dead, but I have his MP4 downloaded and I'm not convinced that this digital PLUGE Pulse would actually trigger bad AGCs. I seem to recall playing it through the USB stick without it freaking out.

Your PM box is full BTW.

Interesting. Can you think of another test for bad AGCs?

I deleted some PMs.

pat man: Are you calibrated yet?

drngr said:

No '90s player* has a comb filter worth using, so go for the TVW750PCIE if you are more interested in capturing LD than native S-Video, YPbPr, or digital formats.

*I would just say "no LD player" but I don't know anything about the units made in the '00s when good 3D Y/C tech could have been incorporated.

By the way AnctuFaalb, when you get a chance could you edit this post to note that you're referring to the different USB version? Or have you seen AGC problems with both TVW750USB (no 3DYC) and TVW750PCIE (has 3DYC)?

I've seen it with my TVW750USB.

For the TVW750PCIE: check out althor1138's capture of the "Pluge Pulse" test pattern and compare it to what's on DVE. http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Comb-Filter-Testing/post/636069/#TopicPost636069

Yay!

So, have a set of color correction values been come up with for each movie that will correct the 2006 Star Wars trilogy DVD's about as close as one can get to the original theatrical colors within the limits of that DVD source? After all the adjusting and fine tuning, wondering if there is some agreement among the experts here on what provides the best overall correction?

Check out You_Too's work with DJ.

His color-correction (primarily GIMP curves files loaded into Avisynth via GiCoCu) is probably the most accurate we can get with the GOUT DVDs.

The Old Poppins HDTV master was filled with the worst DNR I have ever seen it looked like this:

Wow, man. WTF is that?!

It has an effective resolution of like 2x2.
