PAL to NTSC, sigh. Guess I'll pass on this one then, or try to find a cheap used copy since the review says it is watchable.


Again, I will ask? how come Parsad did DHP , Direct NTSC PRog transfer?

UTV have done a decent job with the transfer, although it has its share of problems as is inevitable with Bollywood discs. Colour, contrast, brightness and darkness levels are all wonderfully rendered and image steadiness is fine, however a small amount of dirt and speckles crop up from time to time and there is a lot of edge enhancement going on. The original cinemascope aspect ratio of the film has been maintained and anamorphically enhanced at 2.4:1, but rounding off the disc's flaws is the video itself, which is an interlaced PAL-to-NTSC conversion. Despite its many negatives, Swades is still actually one of the better looking Hindi DVDs recently released.

Swades is being released in France by the same guys who distributed Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Whether they'll do a fresh transfer for the DVD is questionable though given the version of Kabhi Khushi they released was a repackaged one of what Yashraj produced. Well, here's hoping...

The UK and US version is made from digibeta tape master, supervised by the director and encoded by Prasad Labs.

Expect a better release from Prasad Labs for the India 2 disc release (in mar/apr 2005) made from a HD source, and a documentary on the making of the film.


Where is this version?
