To me it looks like LD captured those pics using PowerDVD on steroids. (i.e. using wrong colour profiles). And there seems to be much more grain in them than those caps over at KFF. (Some may be because of JPEG compression?) ... anyways, LD's caps doesn't really look like the caps from KFF.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!

What I did was resizing the BMP files to JPG with an 80% quality, which I guess isn't that bad as the dimensions are only 700 pixels x something.gojensen wrote:To me it looks like LD captured those pics using PowerDVD on steroids.

How do I set the correct colour profile in PowerDVD then? Before I do that, though, I should really take a few comparison shots from the CE as I really wanna see the difference on my own system.

I haven't heard anything about single releases. I wish as I have no interest in either of the Game of Death movies. But I suppose one could get the Box Set as cheap as possible and sell the remainder? But if you only want one title that's not very feasable.grim_tales wrote:Are Fox releasing them seperately Mark? I thought FIST was only available in the Bruce Lee Ultimate Collection on R1.

OK, just added the comparison shots from the CE.

I agree Gasteropod, and the "pink" isn't as strong as the CE. The colours in the shot of the garden on the CE (where the subs say "Master!") look awful in comparison to the PE which is much sharper with better colour all round. Check out the whiteness of Bob Baker's shirt in the PE too, much better.

I found a link with some caps from the Spectrum (Kr) and Fox (Ultimate Box) releases:

EDIT: I know it's a pain in the arse... but perhaps LD could make some comparison caps from the HKL for these... (and edit them into the first post somehow)?

Just my 2 pennies worth, but all LD's screencaps look miles off what a good DVD transfer should look like (colour wise). The contrast is massively high and is almost bleeding out of my screen. No offence, but I think there is some alteration occurring on your system.
Perhaps the colour calibration of your system is doing it. From what I've read, PowerDVD seems the best option. Is that something you could use to get a raw, non-post-processed image? Even just one to test the theory.

You never answered when we asked if this was available separately Mark?Markgway wrote:Does ANYONE have the R1 Fox release??
Two things:thelostdragon wrote:Well, all I can say is that it looks great in my opinion. I haven't seen it better before. But I also have not seen the IVL version.
* FOF CE looks nowhere near as bad on my TV as it does here
* Why because I'm watching it on a TV and not at screen captures + so are you so it's bound to look better.
Those look nearly exactly the same. I'd give the edge to the Spectrum though.Markgway wrote:I found a link with some caps from the Spectrum (Kr) and Fox (Ultimate Box) releases:

I did. It should be a few posts back. Unless you've deleted it?bradavon wrote:You never answered when we asked if this was available separately Mark?
They're virtually identicial as you say... but do you not think they both look better than the HKL PE?Those look nearly exactly the same. I'd give the edge to the Spectrum though.

So you did, thanks.Markgway wrote:I did. It should be a few posts back. Unless you've deleted it?
I very rarely delete other people's posts, mostly old sales/trades threads. If you did it I wouldn't have to
Yep based on SCREEN CAPTURES.They're virtually identicial as you say... but do you not think they both look better than the HKL PE?

Brad, stop being a knob. Most people I know dislike HKL's pinkification process. I don't want to see Bruce Lee look more caucasian than I do. He's fucking Chinese. The film is fucking Chinese. Yes, all the Fox films that should have Mandarin Mono do. So I would say buy the box... except it's got three films I don't really want and I've never seen it cheap enough to write off the waste.bradavon wrote:@ Mark don't they all have Mandarin Mono in the Fox box set? If so and I disliked the colouring like (only) you do then I'd plump for that.

I wasn't aware I was being a knob. I've only seen you moan about it. Many others on this forum bought said DVD and were happy with it.Markgway wrote:Brad, stop being a knob.
Besides overall it's the best out there IMO:
1. Mandarin Mono - which you moaned about for years, finally have and still aren't happy (a definite case of the Yi-long )
2. Fortune Star HD Print
3. A second disc of extras (NOT on the IVL or Fox DVDs)
I thought you liked all the Bruce Lee films? If you don't my bad ignore my comment.Markgway wrote:except it's got three films I don't really want and I've never seen it cheap enough to write off the waste.

hey,
1. Beforehand, Mandarin mono (or whatever is suitable Chinese language tracks) could be a downmix or out of synch. It has happened, it would happen again if IVL would continue their line. Hopefully Joy Sales have and will put in time getting audio right, it's not a science if Deltamac can do it on their budget rabge.
2. As detailed elsewhere, other HD presentations of FOF looked...umm...more natural and personally looking at caps even, HKL, or whoever tampered with the print, made a poor decision. IMO.
3. The last year I've really becomes less and less interested in extras as focus rarely is put on delivery the feature presentation in a correct enough way (for instance I can live with bad subtitles, have done so for years).
Personally, IMO, etc etc. Enjoy whatever others criticize if you like. I won't be in your way. I reserve the right to vent though.
Even if featured, knowing HK dvd's, Fortune Star, IVL and the likes, it doesn't mean it'll be as it should be.1. Mandarin Mono - which you moaned about for years, finally have and still aren't happy (a definite case of the Yi-long )
