Clearing off my Sky+... taa for the info.

Were getting all three Indy films every Wednesday night in HD on channel 7 until the release on May 22 in Australia....Raiders looked great.

Sinner · 05-04-2008, 01:05 PM

Ya lucky punks... so its really in HD and not just upscaled?

Kirsty_Mc · 05-05-2008, 10:19 PM

It was in HD, not upscaled. The BBC apparently have strict rules about what they show on BBC HD.

The transfer looked pretty clean, not as much grain as you would expect on a Spielberg film. I did notice that from time to time the image appeared to momentarily go out of focus a bit. Maybe this is a problem with the encoding or transfer, but possibly on the original. Sound was OK, but not exactly brilliant... then again it is a few years old. Some of the effects looked a bit dated and cheesy, but hey... that's HD for you!!!

Of course this was 1080i... I would expect the 1080P version to be s further step up in quality.

I read on AVS that it was pan and scan.

No... It was letterboxed with lovely black bars top and bottom. Whoever wrote that was clearly not watching BBC HD, or else they hit the zoom button to fill their screens.

What you got was what Mr Spielberg intended

So these guys all saw a different version?

Pan and Scan Raiders

I don't know what they were watching, but it certainly wasn't what I was watching. I wouldn't take too much notice of AVS... they have had a reputation for BS (remember the format war

)

I have attached a couple of pics showing "Raiders of the Lost Arc" replaying off my Sky HD box.

Is there an SD channel as well? Maybe they watched the wrong channel.

It was simulcast in SD on BBC One... BBC HD is pretty hard to miss with the Channel ident. in the top corner. BBC HD is only available via satellite, so if they got them confused it shows what the typical AVS crowd is like (and why they were mostly HD-DVD fanboys).

what about us U.S. loser, don't we get some HD INDY

BStecke · 05-06-2008, 04:02 AM

Aside from the format war, AVS is usually a very viable source.

All I have to say is:

PS. Every time I read about Lucas holding this back from Blu-Ray I weep.

Lucy Diamond · 05-06-2008, 04:27 AM

I can't say enough about BBC broadcasting.

I have A midsummer night's dream and it's only 1080i and it is completely, FREAKISHLY sssssick.

Yeah i just wished i had a bluray dvd-recorder with a hard drive so i could've recorded it

syncguy · 05-06-2008, 01:16 PM

Will the original of this transfer used for the blu-ray or would it be a new transfer?

dieheart · 05-06-2008, 01:20 PM

I'm sure someone recorded the Raiders in HD 720p, and is putting up a torrent as we speak. They already have Starwars in HD, and I've seen a few samples, and Jebus, if it looks that good at 720p HD. I can only Imagine when Lucas officialy releases it.
