Thanks sknath for the links.
Before ordering, I would like to verify if what I have, is really different than the genuine EVP release or if the new release is better.
DRAGUNR2, (or any one else) CAN YOU HELP me in this.
ARADHANA:
What I have is,
- Single Sided Single Layer DVD and therefore Bit Rate is bet 2 and 4.5.
- EVP is imprinted during the whole length of the movie.
- Menu shows Main Feature, Chapters, Coming Attractions, Songs Video etc but only the “Main Feature†and “Songs Video†are accessible.
- Step-by-Step, it flashes STEP 30 times in one second but the picture changes only 24 times. 6 repeated frames do differ from the repeated frame in term of noise.
My EVP Aradhana:
-Single Sided Dual Layer. I don't know what exactly the bitrate is but I'm sure it is higher than 2 to 4.5.
-The EVP logo is imprinted throughout. It is translucent and it is stored on the disc as a subtitle track, not on the image itself. There are no English subtitles.
-Main menu shows Play Title, Coming Attractions, Chapters, Cast, Songs Video, and Songs Audio. Coming Attractions has the original theatrical trailers for "Amar Prem" and "Mera Gaon Mera Desh." All are accessible. The chapters aren't "real" chapters, but some weird encoding thing. All the EVP discs (and DEI "Anand") have this type of chapter encoding.
-It takes 24 steps to advance to the next second. Using this crude method, it is indeed progressive.
