We might post some short previews at AMPSdeux. Check there for details.

 I checked there, there were no details :(

Oversaturated colours. Boosted contrast. Blown highlights. Cropped.

Idunno, I thought it looked great.

Looking at Caps-A-Holic, it looks like a huge improvement over the Anchor Bay.

But I guess that's just me. *shrugs*

I have TONS of notes and have re-watched the entire thing and have been trying to assemble a faster paced story but not to the point where everything feels rushed and sloppy.

A lot of season 4 already feels rushed and sloppy =) For instance...I'm not sure how to word this without spoiling anything, but the two sisters, the comic characters that they're based on are there almost from the very beginning, so you really get to know them...but in the show, they're revealed so quickly that their storyline really has minimal, if any, effect on the viewer.

I know I'm talking about apples and oranges here, though.

I had a funny idea where you could take all of the material you're excising from the show, and make a "boring edition" fan edit out of it @_@

That's what kills me-I haven't yet been able to devise a capture method that works with my PC.

 I use PowerDVD v.6 to take screen caps.

Gosh, that sounds like a real big mess of a project. Even the creators of the show have been struggling with that.

I haven't seen season 5 yet, but in season 4, they were trying awful hard to get back to stories from the comics that the previous seasons had skipped, and to flesh out characters who had been in the comics since the beginning, but in the show, had only just been introduced. Seems like it would be a nightmare to try to rebalance the first three seasons, and it would be impossible to slow down the new characters' storylines to a sensible pace.

Also, I would think you'd have to pull a LotR and change where each season begins and ends, since IMO season 2 has the most "filler".

What's wrong with the latest Shout Factory release?

I don't see blended frames/fields in the rutracker or on the youtube link above.

I get them in the YouTube clips, but this machine isn't set up to run YT at an optimal framerate, so maybe that has something to do with it.

satanika said:

Why don't you grab it yourself from rutracker since I can't convince you?

It's not that I'm not convinced, I was just seeking clarification ;) If the only thing wrong with this DVD is PAL speedup, I'll have to try to find an ISO of it or something. I haven't seen this movie in ages, and the Disney disc is near unwatchable to me.

Was this supposed to be a DVD5?

I know this means absolutely nothing, but the NTSC release is less than four gigs.

I think that guy posts here ;)

 But I'm glad that you're not bitter about it.

Me? Never :)

...I guess they've lost some SW credibility by announcing rapid development with "spin off" films.

They also may have lost just the teeniest, tiniest, smallest, most insignificant amount of credibility when they threw the Holocron into a blazing furnace meant for biohazard waste, and maybe just a fraction of a fraction of a percentage of credibility when they kicked LucasArts in there with it and slammed the door shut behind them.

I can't remember what it's called, I tried looking it up real quick and felt like I was wasting time finding no answers...it's where they simply blend the frames instead of separating them first, when deinterlacing.

Like the middle example in this picture:

Speaking of wasted time, I'm real glad I didn't spend very much of it trying to stabilize the NTCS version.

Change "Sorted by" from best to new (it's just above the comment box). This only works on a thread level as Reddit is really not that well suited to a forum style dialogue.

That just sorts it so the most recently created threads are at the top. I'd like to be able to see new replies without having to open up every single thread and skim it.

How do I make it so the Reddit threads are sorted with the newest replies at the top?

Also, filming fluorescent lighting produces beat, like filming off a TV screen.

Ah, okay. I've never noticed that before, I've only noticed that it always looks very green in 70s movies.

The GOUT of Empire has such bad DVNR, anything would be a significant improvement =|

PDB said:

Asaki, I agree that the BD doesn't look bad outside the blanket green added.

The only green I notice is in the shots where everything is illuminated by tons of fluorescent bulbs in the floor, which is something you'd expect from a film of its era...they also happened to be the pinkest of the LD shots, so it's hard to really compare them as-is.

Aside from that one shot where everything looked way blue, the BD really doesn't look that bad. The only shots where it's drastically different, the LD has a lot more pink to it.

But maybe that's just me.

I barely even noticed the dirt, and the grain is supposed to be there.

There were a couple scratches that were distracting, but they only lasted for a few seconds (I've seen movies at the theatre that had a big scratch down the entire length of several reels).

The pink tint was pretty distracting, but now I've got FFDShow installed so I can tweak it to my liking.

Weird that it's all over the YouTube video, maybe it's something YT automatically applies to PAL videos?

AntcuFaalb said:

The JSC is so much sharper than the Technidisc SWE, as expected. It's crazy.

The sharpness of the JSC feels very artificial to me, and the chroma shift gets really annoying.

Every transfer has pros and cons =(

No interlace issues?

Oh =(

...I don't think ANY of us could've imagined Lucas suddenly cashing out of Star Wars altogether and selling to Disney.

A black shadow of sadness crept over me the other day, when it occurred to me that I will be bitter about this for the rest of my life, and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it.

I think your avatar needs a drop shadow, now.

I stand corrected...I already had an account at Reddit. Weird.

Zero posts and one karma.
