A good studio film has experts in all of these areas and you can tell its a professional movie, and the medium actually makes little to no difference.


watch Miami Vice or Collateral on HDDVD/BluRay ... dark scenes have an unbelievable amount of noise from being shot in HD.

bluray releases from new movies always look good.

but if its a movie from the 80s it all depends on how much work they did on remastering it.

It's got nothing to do with the format, that's the point. Miami Vice is a professionally made very expensive movie, but even that shows noise artifacts in a few of the low lighting night scenes. An except from a review:

Quote:
Anyway, the 1080p, VC1-encoded transfer is impressive: undeniably, it shows all the flaws of the source material, but the compressionists have done a stellar job with the often poor quality footage with which they had to work. The daylight HD scenes look incredibly smooth, and the smattering of 35mm footage is most impressive, making me wish that the entire film had been shot that way. The night scenes, predictably, showcase virtually every single artefact of digital photography known to man, and it is in these instances that the encoder occasionally slips up, with the minutest traces of artefacting visible in the backgrounds during hand-held scenes with a prevalence of noise. In a sense, it's very difficult to review the image quality of a film like this, given that there are moments that are going to look absolutely awful no matter how they are treated. Therefore, given the lack of edge enhancement or any signs of digital tampering (barring the original photography itself!), and given the obvious high quality of the 35mm elements, I'm going to err on the side of caution and assume that the HD DVD looks more or less as good as it possibly could have.

Wow, saw it yeseteday and what a movie. Very, VERY dark. Im really surprised that they got pg-13 rating, two-face alone should be an R. Now im starting to think what could rated R batman be. Amazing performances by Bale, Heath, and Aaron. Action is nicely paced, and the movie is just the right length. Very haunting movie, and the transformation by Aaron was great.

Lossy compression algorithms should only be used to convert a final master to a DVD/Blu Ray for end users.
If you want to cut scenes together after filming (which you obviously must) you need do decode and recompress the movie. Want to add some CGI effects? Decode and recompress. Need to recut some scene? Again decoding and recompression.
Every editing step with digital video reduces quality and adds compression artifacts.

Usually Huffyuv is used, because it's fast and offers OK compression.

Lucky us then. I was under the impression that MPEG4 compression is used like in HD camcorders.

Those ratings go down (a lot) with time in case of new movies. It's just the over-zealous viewers who queue up for hours/days for movies. No wonder then that they have only two ratings when it comes to movies. It's either the 'best move evah' or 'sux balls'. Razz The majority of the fans watch it much later and are less extreme in their opinions.

I love the bigotted fucks who take the majourity opinnion as fact and bandwagon ride instead of waiting to give their own opinion Rolling Eyes for all you know you may hate this movie.. until you see it, you won't know. Obviously you are a fan so you will enjoy it at least, but maybe not as much as some fans are hyping it. I never judge a film or take an opinion as truth before I watch it, I watch the trailer, see whos directing and take a look at previous work then make a judgement if I want to see it or not even if it has 0.00001 / 10 on imdb etc.

he's overwhelmed by the movies achievement and jealous by Heath Ledgers godlike performance that he decided to bring some popularity back to him by making a bad boy scene against his mother and sister.

Dude, relax, I was laughing at the stupid post by Eliz, not yours. Of course I choose movies by what people say, how else is there?

The thing is that, I'm not so socially retarded that I can't consider others opinions as a valid factor in choosing what movies to watch. Smile If I were to form my own opinion about every movie I'd have to watch every fucking movie in existence, including the shitty ones.
And using trailers and directors/actors previous works is not any more reliable than other peoples opinions.

P.S. Please dedicate your next post to telling me how great your social life is because I honestly couldn't care less. Rolling Eyes

EDIT:
@Leo
Sorry, I didn't get you dude Razz . Im just really getting tired of those pretentious "Ooh I TeH cool cuz i don't agree with the crowd" fucks

Bale went to the police station on his own to clear things up, I don't what qualifies as an arrest in the UK but that sure as hell isn't arrest in Finland.

probably because of it not being packed with winrar?
some nukes can be really stupid , and some not
for me if it works it works I don't care about scene rules
the ts looks quite decent for a ts actually great quality ts
but I think I'll wait for the dvdrip or R5 , even if it takes 6 months or more

yeah man. Mind you, the dvd(rip) will be better. But for a TS, its totally watchable. But of course when the dvd comes out, im gunna grab that too. But if you really wanna see the movie, its for sure watchable

@fire

my thoughts exact;y. cause nothing is wrong with it at all.
