Where does your screen name come from?

Mine is a portion of my last name.  Real first name is John.  In high school, we had about four Johns in the class so everyone - including ourselves - took to calling us by our last names or some variation thereof, mostly out of necessity to avoid confusion over who someone was talking to or about.  It stuck.

 Waitasec! Johnny Zizheimer?? From Mountainside High? Wow, small world! It's me, Jon Hagenboost. How are you?

Do you still talk to John-John Bingowingstein or John Jeditrayson? I wonder what happened to those dudes.

"u know ur a? 90s kid when u watch fantasia" -youtube. Oh the stupidity

Wow.  That is just wrong on so many different levels...  Let me count.  Let's see...  I found at least 8 different things wrong with it in the fields of syntax, punctuation, spelling, and logic.

That's how you know you are a 90's kid.  

-70's kid

Info: a Smear-free '93 ?

Darth Mallwalker said:

You might remember not too long ago Harmy wondered if he'd found a grail when he noticed less smearing on his PAL THX compared to GOUT.
Harmy's thread is here.
I suggest opening that thread in a new browser window so you'll be able to compare many of the same frames.

Maybe I follow Harmy down the same dark path . . . or maybe I'm onto something heretofore unknown. I hope you can help figure it out.


So anyway ... I was at Disneyland the other day, and a serious preservationist turned me onto this.
The disc was mastered on 1993-08-21. DC project was already in pre-production by then Shirley [RIP]

Wow!   A two-eyed trooper!  That find is awesome.  The possibilities give me hope.

Will breaking this story earn honorable mention on TV's listing Who's Who Among Darths ?

I think the fact that your post is crammed with insider jokes ought to put you on Fink's list for that fact alone!

Years ago I was trying to come up with callsign to use in Wing Commander.   I just couldn't think of watch to use.   So I flipped at random through my mom's bird book.   It happened to land on Warbler.   I've been using the name ever since. 

I still like my story that Warbler is your last name.  "Hello ladies, I'm Warbler.  James Warbler."

And just for your eyes.. the 2 avisynth scripts i used

First i use this to deinterlace and encode into avi without compression

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

SetMTMode(2,8)
mpeg2source("holiday_special.d2v")

SetMTMode(2)

ConvertToYV12()
QTGMC( Preset="very slow", NoiseBypass=1, NoiseRestore=0.0, Sharpness=1.8)   
selecteven()

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

 

After that i used this one for post processing on the uncompressed avi

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

SetMTMode(2,8)
import("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Stab.avs")

avisource("Holiday_special_pre_01.avi")

SetMTMode(2)
ConvertToYV12()

mergechroma(aWarpSharp(depth=20.0, thresh=0.75, blurlevel=2, cm=1))
unblend()
stab()
decimate()

SetMTMode(2)
Convolution3D (preset="animeLQ")
FFT3DFilter(sigma=2)
warpsharp(10,1)
LSFmod(strength=220)
GradFun2DBmod()

ColorYUV(gain_u=3)
Tweak(sat=1.3,  hue=-8, cont=1.4, bright=-2)

FastLineDarkenMOD(thinning=0, strength=80)

crop(12,2,-8,-8)
lanczosresize(704,528)

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

 

Too bad i still can't encode , i need to reinstall Windows on my PC and im planning to do it soon.. stay tune :D
