La Poste is pretty good, says I. Posta Romana are really terrible. Now that they are in the EU they ought to buck up their ideas.Kinsayder wrote:How frustrating! But it looks like you'll beat me to it. My copy's still passing through the bowels of the French postal system.
Fucking annoying when that happens. Just bung the DVD through the letterbox and fuck off in your van, drongo.davidhare wrote:My copy of Gueule d'Amour arrived today but FedEx left a fucking message card so I can't post caps until tomorrow nite.

Yes, it's an interlaced transfer. Anyone knows a deinterlacing program for the Mac that reads VOB files directly? I could deinterlace by going throgh DV but that recodes the frames AFAIK. (OTOH so does the JPEG )denti alligator wrote:Dunno, those Satantango caps are jaggied all over the place. See especially the fourth cap. I hope that's a result of the capturing.
So the jaggies go away in the normal playback. BUT there remains another problem: the DVD compression is constant-rate and now and then ugly shimmering and sort of "periodic flickering" familiar from cheaply compressed home videos can be seen. Let's hope AE do their own compression of the original whatever-format-it-is-in. The source element, BTW, has reel change marks. Couldn't Bela Tarr insist on a better source? I guess it's a money problem.

Yes, it's annoying. I'll try to deinterlace those frames tonight, it's only fair to Clavis. OTOH their (is it theirs?) compression is firmly in the Kino and Facets leagueKinsayder wrote:You can choose Deinterlace from the Video menu in VLC.

Something is funny about either VLC or the disc. No matter which deinterlacing algorithm VLC uses, it produces ugly, blurry, double-image freeze frames. This doesn't make sense since Satantango is a film-derived DVD (obviously) so each interlaced pair correspond to THE SAME film frame. Hence, there can be no ghosting and blurring, by definition. So there is a bug somewhere. Any clues?JanPB wrote: Yes, it's annoying. I'll try to deinterlace those frames tonight, it's only fair to Clavis.

A quick note added: it must be the discs because the bad interlacing is seen on freeze frames from Disc III but not on those from Disc II (e.g. Estike with the cat). And on Disc I it changes off and on.

Ok, here's caps from Yume Pictures UK DVD. Jeez £14.99 for this?!? Interlaced, NTSC->PAL transfer. Still watchable and at least you get white subs.
Latter three captures are obviously with force weave (#4 with the true horror of shattered image) if someone likes to watch interlaced combing, and the first three are without.
Great Madcap later today.

Screen captures from Criterion's Fires on the Plain:
see Matt's post beneath for captures in the correct aspect ratio, as presented on the Criterion disc
Most of it is absolutely stunning, but the print does show a lot of age and damage in parts (I'm not the kind that gives a damn about a little dirt and scratches, just mentioning it.) Here's to hoping that Enjo and/or The Harp of Burma are released along with it.

It might be me? It seems that I always have issues capturing with PowerDVD, or maybe I'm just really sensitive to a static capture versus film motion.Matt wrote:Maybe it's just the scope lenses, but the proportions in those caps seem all out of whack.
edit: RE: aspect ratio - let me mess with the program and get back to you.

No need to apologize for uncooperative technology. I think the caps look really good (certainly better than the Pandora's Box caps that have been popping up), but people should keep in mind that they've been adjusted in Photoshop, so there's some pixel interpolation going on there that obviously wouldn't appear in the actual DVD.Steven H wrote:Matt, yours look more like what's coming up on PowerDVD. I was using a program to change them to JPG which was squeezing them, apparently. Apologies.
