@Moth3r
Some devices may upscale incorrectly, but not all of them. The most noticeable is when you try to feed 480 to the TV is when you may get some overscan because of the DVDs PAR and how the player handles it. But if you have a decent 1080P upconvert, and a decent TV with options, then you should be able to get 1:1 without any overscan, especially the amount described by some in here

@Chewtobacca

They should be viewed in Wide/16:9 mode even on a set with a 1:1 mode, or a small error in aspect ratio will result.

I think you are getting non anamorphic dvd output confused with anamorphic dvd output. Yes, non anamorphic DVDs are tougher to make display properly correctly on some HDTVs.....but this isnt going to be the case with these encodes, obviously

Needlessly resizing the video horizontally will lower quality. The script could easily be adjusted to remove the horizontal resizing.

If you dont want to resize it to the full area afforded by the anamorphic enhancement.....you want him to take out the resize all together and just make a separate non anamorphic for you? cmon now its call working with what you got

Yeah Chewtobacca. It's 2010. Poor people don't exist anymore. Shesh. Get with it already.

I was ready for this dumb response and here is the correct reply

IF you dont have the appropriate display device to view these encodes/transfers, then what does it matter to you? You are the same person who cries that the OT isnt on Bluray but yet dont even have a Bluray player or HDTV.....

Edit: Next time, please understand my posts before you respond with a obvious dumb answer. If you have an older TV, then the GOUT is perfectly suited for such

With all do respect Chewtobacca, this is 2010
You should as well as most people on this board should have a TV/monitor that will accept/do 1:1 pixel mapping

(since they are demanding the best possible GOUT transfer, 4k scans, and digital prints sent to their doorstep.....why the hell would they ask for such if they have a shitty TV that doesnt even do 1:1 pixel mapping?)

You cant. You would have to build the subs with the "grain" or "haze" in them and then hardcode them in

If you put in "perfect" looking subs and then added a grain filter and if you limited it to a vector box around the subs, that would also be noticeable

The best solution, if you are not satisfied, is to create the subs, and "degrade" them separately and then add them while encoding

In order to do this it would have to be a re-encoded 1080P since the sources are not the same format (one being MPEG2 and the other H264)
It cant just be a simple cut join of the sources

I believe this might have already been done

Personally, I have no interest in dealing with groups that waste Usenet resources by posting password-protected files, but someone else might want to search out where these guys went to.

I totally agree with you

At least there is a system to their madness where you can find out the password for the posts

Since Alien seems to be screwed up (opinion), I think Ill stick with the dtheater, just wondering what I should do the awesome HDTV of Aliens (that looks great) if Aliens BD is going to be even better

My bad, I thought the CGI scene was actually in the DVDs but I guess I was wrong, I hadnt seen them in a while....as for the subs, they only appear in scenes where working in on the screen

0:02:37 South America, 1936 (in picture)
0:13:55 Love You (below picture)
0:23:23 Nepal (below picture)
0:29:53 Channel logo (in picture, top right)
0:33:58 Cairo (below picture)
1:50:34 Top Secret Army Intel (below picture)

Guess no update to this means that it most likely is abandoned, not to mention OPs "site" I think is down

Anyway, heres the comparison you guys might like to see if you hadnt already, both look great but I think the JPN might be the ones used for the BR, both also have flaws (JPN has hard subs (partly) and shifted picture to compensate for them, BBC has watermark and soft look, each has its own crop/frame differences)

old master = BBC Sky HDTV
new remaster = JPN HDTV.
The DVDs are based off the old master.

Raiders: JPN 20mbit MPEG2 vs BBC SkyHD 16mbit H264
Temple of Doom: JPN 20mbit MPEG2 vs BBC SkyHD 13mbit H264
Last Crusade: JPN 20mbit MPEG2 vs BBC SkyHD 16mbit H264

Star Tours closed?!  That sucks!  I didn't hear about it.  Why did it close?  Are there plans to re-open it after maintenance or something?  Or is Lucas going to SE and Prequelify it?  :-(  Time to start the Star Tours preservation efforts!

Its closed, ST 2 is coming, it will be SE'd, preservation is made

for everyone,

you do realize that you cannot judge "correct brightness" levels from a theater projector right? You have absolutely no idea how many hours are on that specific bulb they used in that projector.....and yes, the brightness in the projector bulbs do deteriorate with time....so that makes that comparison irrelevant

I lol'd......just alittle bit tho

There is a more obvious space saving solution...bunk beds.

That way everyone could lie down through the flight and they could be stacked one on top of each other.

If everyone stayed off beans it would be ideal, just like those lovely battery farms that chickens just loved to die on.

I think you are on to something.   The only other thing is that all passengers need to be put into some kind of stasis.  Everyone who flies gets a nice nap, they dont need to worry about the expense of meals or in-flight movies and everyone will be locked in their own cryo-tank, so no more airline hijacking.

The Fifth Element anyone?

Rad
ST VI
Aliens
Robot Jox
Monster Squad
Terminator 2

Anything from the 80s that could be categorized as cheesy or awesome

Well, damn.  By that logic, I never posted a picture in the first place and shouldn't be on warning. 

But you did post a picture.

Gaffer Tape said:

I knew I broke the rules, but I was just trying to make a weird, weird man happy on his birthday, so I was hoping CMG would give me a mulligan on that.  That's like giving a guy a ticket for running a red light to get the littlest cancer patient to an amusement park.

And if he didnt get that ticket, he would run the next red light and die in a traffic collision. But its ok, because they were both wearing their seatbelts

Apparently Not.

Hey, I wasn't told that I had been put on the "Permanent Asshat" list!

So, let's see, I started without being on a list.  Then I was bumped to "Unreasonable," skipping the "Warning" list.  Then I was bumped from "Unreasonable" to "Permanent Asshat," skipping the "Total Asshat" list.

How did I jump up that list more quickly than Frink?  He made a stop at every point on the list, didn't he?  I contend that YOU are the "Unreasonable" one, CMG!

You can go back and count how many times in a row you broke the rules in such a short span of time, then there will be your answer. This is also the answer for everyone wondering who is on the list. All of them got at least warnered once and told the rules, after that if you decide not to abide by them, then you know what happens.

Id assume if Alek decides just to do raw caps and share those, then the subtitles will obviously be on the output files. However, if he decides to take on this project in full and do everything, then obviously those subs should be cropped, no questions about it
