question, I dont have R1 METRODOME asoka that went through Pal to Ntsc conversion..was it pseudo prog or what?


There is no R1 Metrodome ASOKA.
PAL ASOKA says R2 on the cover but is R0 really. You can watch it on PAL capable player display combos. No Region restriction.

R1 version of ASOKA, if I remember correctly, was by 'First Look'. It is PAL to NTSC conerted Field Averaged.

Are you sure Urbanlegend that these shots are from full fledged dvd and not a compressed dupe?


If you live in Canada you will know of Rogers Video which is the same as Blockbuster Video. I rented it from there so its 100% original not dupe. I was also not impressed by the video it felt as though something was lacking in the color department. This DVD reminds me of Ero$ quality .. doesnt seem upto Hollywood Standards.


Ok, Guys, Rana, Urbanlegend ali and all other gurus!!

Here where plot thickens and things become interesting!!

I captured 2 screen shots from Original R1 Miramax dvd that I rented!

I am sending to UL and Ali for posting.

Rana you check your mail too!

I checked again (also check confirmed Force Weave setting), Mine has no combing in these two exact scenes (and around) as well as elsewhere. Can't believe, US product will be inferior to Canada's. Alliance has a plant in Montreal. Where is US B&P manufactured??

B&P is selling for $ 27 plus Tax ($32 total) Cdn. In about 3 weeks expect about $ 15 for previewed one.

--------------------------

Just listened to that Ashanti song again with PC's DD 5.1. Believe it or not, it blasted the whole room. 5.1 and .1 effects are as good as, or may be even better than T-2.

BTW, extras that includes full version of all songs are 2 Ch audio and not 5.1.

Well, rana I never knew HOLLYWOOD Progressive 24fps will comb too?

I knew EROS progressives were BAD though!

Even If seperately authored by Miramax for US and CANADA( does not seem plausable though?) You description/impression does not seem to gell well with URBAN LEGEND screen shots posted here! :roll: :?: :idea: :?
While the shots with combing seem to compliment well with PQ presented by his screen shots? :?

There can not be TWO differently authored dvds in Canada, One for TORONTO and different for your place :lol:

I am not honestly trying to defy your impression and claim! I saw dvd, it is 24FPS, generally does not comb, have all those attributes that you said! but Combs under my TORTURE TEST :wink: :lol:

Either it combs or does not comb, torture test or not.

But, are yoy saying that your disc gave combing in just a few occasional shots?? I can see a possibility of every 25th shot giving combing if PAL to NTSC converted and made Progressive. But, I did not see that combing in any of the frames within a few minutes of those scenes (1 min = 1500 frames).

Sometimes in defective (incorrect flags/ missed field while encoding or recording), yet 24 fps, DVDs complete chapters may have combing in each and every frames and yet none in the subsequent chapter. (Remember EVP's Patthar Ke Sanam) I did not see that either in B&P.

-----------------------
I'll send you my disc. Try to find combing in that one. Will take about a week for it to get there.

I was advancing to count frames, in forceweave mode!! No combing on my PC! in power dvd! unless the picture got enlarged! and I start seeing jaggies, combing around edges that I did not see in regular small picture..I got suspicious!

Now in same mode! paused instead counting frames per second i started changing chapters and what I saw I captured!!! :roll: to my surprise!

There is no PAL to NTSC that I am doing on already NTSC dvd!!! :?: :idea:

as you might notice those two shots are indeed Chapter marks!

That's possible.
So, it's just an occasional shot that gave combing?? I too flash noticed combing in the first shot (girls Bed Room scene) but the Power DVD software took care of the error in the later runs when I tried to repeat it.

If proper care not taken in chapter markings, If one chapter ends with the first half of the frame and the next chapter begining with the second half of the frame, naturally the first shot in that starting chapter combines 2nd half of 1st frame to the 1st half of the next frame. And hence the combing. Later Power DVD recognizes this problem and fixes it so as to combine proper half frames.
