Michel Hafner Review from Zulm
Quote:
One problem is the lack of image sharpness despite 16:9 enhancement. A modern telecine coupled with a good MPEG encoder produces considerably sharper results than we see here. Not that the image is very soft, but it's not as sharp as it should be. Another problem is severe aliasing that makes individual scanlines very visible and adds an ugly pixelised look on many occasions. This is typical of an outdated telecine without proper antialiasing technique. In addition the grain and noise level is too high for a new transfer. A constant veil is over the pictures that need not be there. Finally there are some noise reduction artifacts visible and some edge enhancement as well.
According to Michel Hafner it is a progressive dvd but because of outdated telecine with out proper antialiasing technique it is showing combing and other defects.
Michel is your dvd player indicates it's a progressive dvd?
I think according to Rana it is psuedo progressive?
Although I have the songs from this movie I have not checked with my dvd player, But most of the Indian dvd's I have checked shows an improvement in PQ (varies from 5 to 30%) with my dvd player vs HTPC (either powedvd or ATI Player). But as I said before in other thread the improvements are only on the static close up image not on the aerial or long shots or when moving .
I think when you use forceBob in PowerDvd it shows some improvement over smartdetect for the this kind of movie dvds, which may be similar to the improvement we see with a good dvd player.
Michel your review of KNPH does not show any rating, how would you rate or compare this dvd with KNPH?
