Screen caps are used to look for problems like DNR, EE, aliasing, etc. They are completely accurate for finding these problems. If a movie uses DNR it usually looks awful so it's quite easy to tell from screen caps whether a movie looks good or not. There really is no argument, it is a fact.

How can I say Eric's screens are accurate? I can't say they are and I can't say they aren't. I am not omniscient. That's why I can't answer your question. |

You might enjoy "Unfinished Tales". There are some stories related to the Hobbit and LOTR. One is supposed to have taken place around the time Aragorn gets crowned. Gandalf is telling the hobbits how he met Thorin and how that fit in his plan to oppose Sauron. There's lots of good stuff in that book.

Right, I just see the last 10 pages or so are going round and round in circles... We can all agree that the screen caps posted really look like crap... (I think we can) We can all agree that not everyone trusts screen caps, we can also all agree that whoever wants to judge for themselves by renting/buying the films on blu, can do that too... no reason to keep going round and round in circles, sorry, but I just don't see the point, so if something gets brought up that lightens the mood, I don't see a problem. Although, if a Mod does because its off track, I am sorry and I will end my discussion of the books if I am asked to.

I can appreciate the dilemma with which Jackson was presented. On the one hand, Bombadil is an interesting character and represented something very important and rare to Tolkien: a powerful individual who had no desire to dominate or control others, only to appreciate and understand Life. But (length of the movie notwithstanding), how could you film such a character?

I never accused the Digital Bits of being "anything," I honestly have no idea why you and that Mr. Pink keep saying I did. I have no idea of how being a professional reviewer or an industry insider works or the politics of it, and I don't pretend to. I know a lot about A/V and that's what I talk about. He gave Fellowship a positive review. That's a fact. There are serious issues in Fellowship, that's a fact. DNR issues, issues that cause it to look absurdly soft, issues that cause it to look older than it should. Some people aren't bothered at all by these issues; some people even prefer the look of DNR and artificial filtering. I've read plenty of very glowing Gladiator BD impressions. I can only assume whoever gave Fellowship a positive review, there or anywhere else, wasn't as affected by its issues as someone like me would be. I don't think Bill Hunt is involved in some ridiculous conspiracy or anything. I can't deny that he enjoyed the presentation, that's a purely subjective evaluation how it appeared on his display to his own eyes... it's like arguing whether or not he prefers the taste of chocolate ice cream. Things like the application of DNR to the transfer is a factual reality though, and very evident. It can not be denied - it isn't subjective, how much it bothers someone is. Eric's screens are accurate, sorry. It's obvious this presentation has serious technical issues. If that doesn't bother the person watching it they are very fortunate. I wish I was one of those people. I'd love to be able to watch a bad transfer and think "This is great!" You can argue it looks fantastic until you're blue in the face, but for anyone he knows even the slightest about A/V it's obvious it isn't. Last edited by Stinky-Dinkins; 03-25-2010 at 08:16 PM. |
