Clone Wars Season 1 Aspect Ratio

[spcamaj]

Ive watched the whole season on blurry. Its a amazing show and i did not catch what your saying. Audio and video are amazing on this set.

I have seen others mention this but I havent gone back to check. Definitely an error on someone's part.

I don't remember it being mentioned here... but people were all over this at TheForce.net and other sites.

Yes, there's a few seconds of that episode where the ratio shifts. It also happens for a few seconds in "Destroy Malevolence", (when Obi-Wan is running, I believe).


Seems to be a mastering issue with the discs that no one caught. It has not been fixed (or widely reported on BD sites) to my knowledge.

Well, now you've got me intrigued. I'm gonna have to check my set now. So it's Cloak of Darkness and Destroy Malevolence, huh?

EDIT: Just checked Destroy Malevolence, and yep, it's a short ~3.5 second clip of Obiwan running through the corridor towards the appetured airlock back to the Twilight. The time stamp is 1:29:32 - 1:29:36. Funny how I never realized this before. Now on to check Cloak.

No problem for me.

No problem or you didn't notice it? Those are two different things.

To my knowledge, this has never been corrected.

I mentioned this in the main thread for this release but it never really got much attention. I'd love to contact someone about it but I'm really not sure who I would contact. I made a broadcast/Blu-Ray comparison for the Obi Wan shot and it seems like the mattes were open for this shot showing more image on all sides and it somehow made its way to the Blu Ray. The part with Ventress is odd because it doesn't quite fill the whole screen so I'm not sure whats going on there.

OK, just checked the Cloak of Darkness episode, and yep again, it occurs at the 0:40:03 - 0:40:05 mark. Except in this case, the "matte" opens up, but only on the bottom. In other words, the bottom black bar disappears, but the top one stays. So I don't know if this short ~2.5 second shot is not only opened up to full 16:9 frame, but misframed as well. And yeah, it occurs just as when Asohka and Luminara are about to run out to get back to the cell block and Ventris interups them with a saber clash.

When someone asks you what time it is, don't give them the history of clocks. (You didn't answer his question...not even close). And what's blurry? How can it it be amazing and blurry all at once?
