right i've never done this before so if i've done it wrong i'm sorry

Can someone rearrange all that ?

1 post with all the pics should be enough.

I'll post some HK Vidéo caps later.

@Sam:
You probably got it right.

The only problem is that you put 1 pic per post, that's all.

Just edit your first post and put all your pics + mine in there.

Notice Tom's smilie he wasn't being serious.

Thanks Salty. It's good to see more jumping on board.

I've rearranged the thread if you could add Tom's in. You just need to edit your first post and paste in each link between your ones. Are you still editing it Salty or did you mean to just put Tom's links in the thread instead of actual images?

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 13 Aug 2006, 16:51

how's that look now sorry i am clueless

don't know brad tom's caps appeared as links to me

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 13 Aug 2006, 16:52

No need to apologise. Almost you just need to edit the thread and insert Tom's between yours but as images, such as:

[img]Yours[/img]
[img]Toms[/b]
[img]Yours[/img]
[img]Toms[/img]

Etc... That way everyone can see each corresponding capture next to each other. You will note Tom's order isn't the same as yours so that will need to be fixed also.

p.s - I suspect Tom will disagree but boy the HK Video is a mess!

how do i get tom's caps to appear as images

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 13 Aug 2006, 19:00

@Sam:
Edit your post, select the links one by one (the ones that don't appear as pictures), click on the IMG button.
Simple.

EDIT: and don't forget to write "HKL"/"HK Vidéo" before each picture.

I disagree... to some extent.
The HK Vidéo uses an old Media Asia print.
The HKL probably uses an HD FS print.

In most regards the HKL is superior. Slight but: The French image is sharper on the first cap.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 13 Aug 2006, 19:24

the colours seem much better on the hkl imo-cheers for the help tom btw

and brad

FR HK is slightly cropped. HKL as Marks says is superior.

I told you silly

. Stick [img]at%20the%20start%20and[/img] at the end, it's easier than faffing with the IMG button.

How do you disagree exactly? So what if one is from an older print. I'm going by how it looks now.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 13 Aug 2006, 20:47

You said "The HK Vidéo is a mess".
That's what I disagree with.

I think it looks great *for what it is* (a Media Asia print).

BTW: I've always preferred the rough look of MA prints over the washed-out squeaky-clean FS remasters.

Cap by cap analysis:
-The HK Vidéo is a little bit cropped on the sides, but shows more information at the top and bottom.

Cap 1: The HKL is soft and lacks shadow detail. HKV wins.

Cap 2: The HKV is much sharper (look at the character on the left). Don't know about the "blue vs green" tint.

Cap 3: HKV is softer. HKL looks more natural.

Cap 4: Hard to tell. HKV is contrast-boosted, HKL lacks shadow detail.

Overall, I agree that the HKL might be marginally better in daylight scenes.
Still, I'd be happy with either version (and I already am

)

Tom please don't take English lessons from Romero one word jpg

. It certainly doesn't look great nice maybe but not great.

FS Remasters "washed out" WTF!

I seriously reckon when it comes to "French DVDs" you're biased. This is not the first time you see sharpness etc... in a French DVD where no one else does. The HKV is far to bright and looks like a VCD. The HKL is better in every way, including sharpness.

Well that told me

:drunken:

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 14 Aug 2006, 11:06

The French one looks sharper to me as well, though (provided the French disc is the bottom picture). Just look at Kwan Tak Hing's face in the first cap.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 14 Aug 2006, 17:35

Okay agreed it looks a bit better in that way but boy overall it's a mess. The HKL is overall far better.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 14 Aug 2006, 18:03

is it me or does the hk look kind of purpley

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 14 Aug 2006, 18:37

It does have a blueish tint.
Don't know if it's supposed to be there.

Wait, he said HK.
Did he mean HKL or HKV ? :bom:

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 15 Aug 2006, 14:33

can we declare HKL the winner then :twisted:

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 15 Aug 2006, 14:50

Yeah, sure.
