Doesn't look good to me... but then I'm starting to wonder whether I have a fucking clue what I'm talking about as almost every Hong Kong film capped looks like smudgy no-detail pants. :?

And what's with the compression?

They're not that bad IMO. Soft image with obvios DVNR that has lost/smudged finer detail.

Not terrible, but they've over-processed an already unremarkable image.

They aren't jpegs,they are in PNG format,captured and uploaded straight to imageshack.clicking on them gives you the full 1920 image (i think)...anyway PNG format is what i see a lot of BD caps taken in...

Well it obviously beats a 3rd gen boot or those compressed youku streams that fusubs decided to boot. For a Bluray, id expect much better. Does anybody have the Siren Visual DVD? I wouldn't be surprised if that dvd looked better.

I noticed the caps were PNG, which should mean lossless, right?

So how come the image is compressed like that? :?

I really wish ALL Shaw Bros movies were handled by Media Blasters.

Yes, and at this size it shouldn't even matter if they were jpg. If you see compression problems, then it should be the disc, not the caps.

Below is a comparison I made using my Yatterman BD. The png caps are the original versions. The first pair is png vs jpg at normal size. The second is png vs jpg at 400% zoom. Can you tell any difference at all between the caps?

Now, which one of those 4 png caps was originally jpg and then converted back to png with all the quality lost? :D

Number 3, but it's barely noticeable :D

Lol... but I did notice compression on Hung's PNG caps as well.

So I guess it affects all caps.

I only stumbled on these screenshots after I ordered the Blu-Ray and don't think I would've placed the order if I saw them first. Was hitting myself over the head I bought the disc without waiting for a review. However - the disc arrived today and it looks much better than the screenshots suggest. Looks comparable to Opium and the Kung Fu Master's HD transfer. Had the Australian dvd release by Siren - which was progressive PAL and most likely better than the IVL dvd - and the Blu-Ray really looks a LOT better. I'm well pleased.
It's a region free release, by the way.
