Author Topic: I {heart} my XD10. John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-13-2009 10:38 AM                     Well, aside from this particular issue, this print was certainly better than BD quality (though not pristine). And I think that's generally the case for most of the "Swank backslash" prints we see from TES. Not always, but probably 70%. And the of that remaining 30%, many of them are toss-ups, where it's hard to say if a scratch is worse than a pixel. --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-14-2009 10:09 AM                       Wouldn't it have been easier to just count the footage marks and determine the missing frames from that.. or aren't footage numbers even ON film these days?  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-14-2009 11:02 AM                     Umm, footage marks, Tim? What planet are you on? Release prints have not carried footage marks for decades, if ever they were common or consistent. And print-through of negative edgecode footage marks went out with SDDS using that space, and of course, that's not terribly likely on a computer animated film. --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

It takes only a handful of missing or damaged frames worth of data for Dolby Digital and SDDS to drop out to analog. But with no backup analog soundtrack on the black slug any viewers watching the movie in Dolby Digital or SDDS would be greeted by the deafening sound of silence. quote: Bill Enos If you're going to rent the BluRay just run the BluRay, it'll look better than one of Swank's hacked up prints. Finding Nemo isn't available on Blu-ray Disc™ yet. Monsters Inc. was supposed to be released on BD the same time as A Bug's Life, but it has been pushed back until Fall or some time in 2010. Some rumors suggest Finding Nemo may come out on Blu-ray in 2010, but with the third Toy Story movie in production the previous Toy Story installments may move to the front of the line for Blu-ray release. Anyway, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles will probably be the last of Pixar's catalog titles to make it to Blu-ray.  |  IP: Logged
