Re: Tai-Chi Master: HK Vidéo (R2FR) vs Universe (R3HK)
Tom: Is this the Re-release (I refuse to call it Remastered) or Original Universe Tai Chi Master DVD? Any chance of adding the other one?
The subs with those instructions work a treat. They forget one step: To tell you to change the tagname for the subs from the default English to Chinese. I forgot to do this and didn't notice until I burnt the DVD I couldn't be bothered to re-author the DVD again just for that one VERY minor error (it says English when I turn the subs on).
Also oddly despite choosing to have them ON by default they're not.
I now have a glorious Tai Chi Master DVD with English subs, anamophic and Cantonese Mono.
I'll upload them to my webspace tonight if Hung doesn't do it first. I'll wait to add instructions that link you provided until then so it's all in one post.Tom2681 wrote:Tai-Chi Master.

If that was all that is wrong with it I wouldn't be that bothered with it. The 5.1 remix is atrocious.grim_tales wrote:The Universe is crap, way too dark IMO.

It is the so-called "remastered" edition.Is this the Re-release (I refuse to call it Remastered)
The original is brighter, but also softer (it's not even watchable AFAIK).
I'm not sure that HungFist actually wants to "release" his subs.I'll upload them to my webspace tonight if Hung doesn't do it first.
He'd rather give them to those who want it (one by one).
He doesn't want his subs to fall into the wrong hands.

Right. I did Jailhouse 41 subs, and soon after found my subs from places I didn't post them to... probably being used by internet bootleggers... no offence Tom). I don't want that to happen again.Tom2681 wrote: I'm not sure that HungFist actually wants to "release" his subs.

Isn't it best to let everyone have them? If you don't want them posted publically I won't upload them here, no worries. I've not uploaded them anywhere.

BTW, why has the Universe image been blown up in resolution (and then masked into 16:9 ratio)? That's not really fair and it loses quality (not that it has any lol). I won't be blowing my images up in resolution.

Feel free to crop the black bar away should you add them but I honestly do not see why these images have to 'match' the others, just leave them as 'nature' created them. Just like a flower, you don't it it just because it doesn't match the others. Otherwise, there is no comparison.

Nope, you've done even worse:I won't be blowing my images up in resolution.
You've downsized it to 640x480.
1. I agree with you about the resolution thing.
If I had been allowed, I would have resized all caps to 1024x576 to ensure that there is no loss of detail. Unfortunately I was overruled.
2. You can't compare two shots of different sizes (or different aspect ratios) because the bigger one will always look better.
3. We (they)'ve agreed on 720x and correct aspect ratio.
720x480 -> 720x540 (4/3)
720x576 -> 720x404 (16/9)
4. Stop complaining about this in every thread. I know we shouldn't downsize, but there's nothing I can do about it. The people have spoken. The people are stupid.

Yeah that does look weird.tom2681 wrote:Nope, you've done even worse:

Not always but otherwise exactly.tom2681 wrote:2. You can't compare two shots of different sizes (or different aspect ratios) because the bigger one will always look better.
Agreed here, if it's non-anamorphic show it as such but then many people will be zooming so it could help to give an idea how it would look.chenlung wrote:and then masked into 16:9 ratio
IMO we don't have to use this resolution but:tom2681 wrote:3. We (they)'ve agreed on 720x and correct aspect ratio.
720x480 -> 720x540 (4/3)
720x576 -> 720x404 (16/9)
1. Whatever resolution we choose we STICK to it for 4x3 and 16x9 respectively no messing around because "you" feel like it
2. I seem to remember members using resolutions far greater than 1024x576. To the point where you could only see half the image without scrolling.
This makes it a NIGHTMARE to be able to compare which is better. Which lets face it is the ENTIRE POINT!
Sure you may lose quality by resizing but then it affects all the images equally so they'll all end up looking the same anyway but at the end of the day I don't have a problem upping the resolution but lets keep it under 1000.
1024x576 is too high, by the time you post it and the left of the Bullets is taken into account you'll be scrolling left and right like no one business.
p.s - Like I keep saying if it really bothers you USE LINKS! Why is no one listening?

Besides 1024x576 will mean you have to enlarge the capture. They natively capture at 720x480 or 720x576.
All I do is resize the height to 404 (or 405) so it's not like any resizing should be happening anyway. This is purely to allow for a non-distorted image.
If it's non-anamorphic then unresized should be 720x540. This is purely to allow for a non-distorted image.
Every time I've done it that is what the default resolution has been, to enlarge it will give an inaccurate view of the image.

@Brad:
Resizing all caps to 720x404 causes a 76 vertical pixel loss in NTSC and a 172 vertical pixel loss in PAL.
That's the only problem I have with it.

It's such a shame the same can't be said for Fong Sai-Yuk or Fong Sai-Yk 2, not even HK Video have released those.
Why are they distorted btw? They're not this way when watching the DVD.
Fair enough but IMO a distorted image is way worse.tom2681 wrote:@Brad:

What do you mean "distorted" ?Why are they distorted btw?
What caps are you referring to ?
