would love ur comments too, on this pathetic release mike!
Tell me, what do you hate about it in addition to the watermarks and some image cropping top and bottom?
You can use the stills as examples to make your point.
ok! I understand you are a bit touchy about Farhan Khan's products lol.
I wholeheartedly respect your caliber of expertise in this matter!
going by SS, only diff I see with Devdas that Devdas was only 20gb, and extensive blocking, mute colors, and no detail.
I tried my best to me generous with these SS, none of them whatso ever show any detail in the picture, it all seems matted , subdued presentation though.
I hope the one you guys were working on for ages might turn out lot better. But if master is limited , i would not expect any wonders or magic either!
If you have original, and these SS were not grabbed right, then would be happy to see some!
PS: I do not have bluray on my hand, and is only going with what SS are showing to my eyes!
Who is Farhan Khan?
Is the master limited? As far as detail and resolution is concerned not much. The transfer was made from the camera negative on a Spirit telecine. There is no better source. And a Spirit is a good telecine. What is limited
is the sharpness of the original photography. It varies from shot to shot. Going from VHS detail (some really poorly done shots) to fairly sharp and detailed shots with beyond 720p real word detail. The clarity and detail you are used to see from the latest DI based Bollywood/Hollywood Blu Rays DCH can not offer. It was not shot like that.
But that does not mean at all that you get a DVD quality picture. That is complete nonsense. The difference between DCH on DVD and HD is substantial. The additional resolution is very apparent. The picture is very film like, often has a creamy and silky appearance that is simply beautiful. Grainy shots show well defined grain and not the horrible mush a DVD shows. All the digital rubbish of the DVDs is gone (sharpening artifacts, compression artifacts, poor color grading with clipped highlights and crushed shadows, and film issues like plenty of dirt, scratches etc.). Stills are fine, but watching it in motion is the relevant final test. And DCH in HD looks as it should and was made, often very yummie. Naturally I'm talking about the upcoming Cinedrome BD.
