Not exactly completely DNR and EE free. The first couple of minutes where Fonda's character is taking pictures. The closeup shots and the long shots have a very distinct look from each other. One has excessive DNR used and the other one mild or none at all. The transfer also need some more cleaning up. A minor nitpicking for me

But overall a much more pleasing PQ than the "remastered" turds we have lately.

Come on, Xylon, post those pics! It's been more than a day or two!

 

[eric.exe]

I really don't see what's so hard about creating the thread when the pics are ready.

 

[Kram Sacul]

I think he's testing the waters to see how much interest there is.

 

[FoxyMulder]

Bring on the pictures - I'm interested in seeing how this 2.76:1 super wide image looks on Blu Ray. I'd like to see Mutiny On The Bounty pics too.

total thread failure

 

[Matt_Stevens]

Those screen caps are so bad they are not viewable!

 

[DangerousK]

I watched this 2 weeks ago.


Nice looking movie...I thought I saw some light EE in a couple of scenes, but that might have been my imagination.

 

[Johnbutler]

well, before he posts the screenshots, does anyone know if this is a patton style transfer or something different?

The video was encoded at 0 Mbps. While there is no video, the audio is interesting. This BD is recommended.

 

[Geoff D]

This'll be the same encode as the HD DVD, right? I watched it (the red version) just yesterday, and it does look very smooth indeed. There appears to be a touch of grain (or perhaps just plain ol' noise) in wide expanses of sky, but apart from that it's very clean. Everything looks kinda waxy. . .


I would say that some edge sharpening has been applied, as the plane in the opening shots looks like it has a forcefield around it, and long shots of buildings also show the same symptoms. Thankfully these halos aren't the hard-edged variety, or this encode would've been ruined.

It must be too much DNR if the german tanks doesn't look like this:

Yes. The video was encoded at a great 0 Mbps as it's from Warner.

 

[Johnbutler]

Come on!

 

[msgohan]

It seems Xylon mostly posts on weekends. Our posts are sure going to look silly once he edits the top ones with pics.

 

[Xylon]



 

[Kram Sacul]

Doesn't look bad at all. A little bit of pastiness going on in the above shot though.


The anti-black bar people are going to go ape$#*! over this one.

 

[AmishFury]

i'd love to hear the anti black bar people if someone released something like Napoleon on bluray... with the full 4:1 aspect ratio
