Really don't like the green tint on the Optimum.

COMING SOON: Azumi 2 - Optimum R2 vs Cinexus R3

I noticed that both have edge enhancement too.

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 08 Sep 2006, 22:49

I can post caps from R2J's (both films)

Maybe Tom could do Wild Side caps

There doesn't seem to be much in it. I presume the R3 is from HK? Could the countries be added to the title please.

I love that first pic. Girls with swords, lovely

That would be great Hung, only somehow I've lost the frame times for caps. :x

Brad, the Region 3 is from the Korean Boxset.

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 08 Sep 2006, 22:51

It's a Korean release, there is no HK release (wonder why)

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 08 Sep 2006, 22:53

Don't worry, no problem finding the correct frames, I've only seen the film 7 times so far (I think)

Ha! About as many as me! Just give us a shout when you got the caps.

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 08 Sep 2006, 23:12

Are you sure you have correct settings?

My Optimum (color profile set to "original")

Your Optimum

My Optimum (color profile set to "vivid")

Keung · Post by **Keung** » 08 Sep 2006, 23:16

Damn! I've never changed the settings on my player except for the cap size so I have no idea why it's on "Vivid"

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 08 Sep 2006, 23:24

nothing new when it comes to powerdvd. But it's okay, everybody makes mistakes. I've done the exact same screw up myself (not at bnb, though...)

Thanks Hung. I'll get round to sorting this out when I re-do all the caps I've already done with proper colour.

Huh ? I thought it was Studio Canal ?
Or maybe it was TF1 ?

Anyway, caps are coming...

From TF1 Vidéo (France), the director's cut:

Good work lads! I'm just on with fixing the Optimum caps.

Keung · Post by **Keung** » 09 Sep 2006, 01:15

Me too 8)

Sorry Tom, my mistake, I don't know why I thought it was Wild Side...

But your TF1 looks slightly better due to less edge enhancement. Just as I expected. But I think (I hope) I'm happy with my R2J

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 09 Sep 2006, 13:48

Still I am yet to get Azumi 2, so look forward to that comparison as hell I want the film, but there doesnt seem any good version out there.

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 09 Sep 2006, 13:56

Didn't someone just order EE Azumi 2? Should be a safe bet for those who need english subs. It really can't be as bad as Optimum.

Another option would be to wait for the US release.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 09 Sep 2006, 14:53

@Hungfist:

We could do a "proper" Azumi 2 comparison.
I think the only comparison we did was a couple of pics in the french DVD thread.

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 09 Sep 2006, 14:57

Of course. I was just waiting for Keung's caps
