Hi again
Yep, all my films were copied to broadcast quality spec some time ago, I just don't trust the DVDs to hold it. Needless to say, there's only just so much data on old film, but you can see the film defects really clearly now.
I have one copy - done at the same time - of Cecilia Bartoli's
making of her Vivaldi DVD. It was a wonderful production and much more fun and, dare I say it, better sound, than the final DVD. Sadly, one of the most moving pieces, started to glitch for a few bars, at the worst possible time. I'm hoping that it's on the Pro tape if not, its back to square one.
So our threads on DVD reliabillity really have some meaning. It happens, and is obviously designed to pick out the most crucial moments.
Back to pixellation.
I loaded Photoshop onto my laptop, and put said pretty girl on that. It was worse! Zooming in to just her head, her jaw-line is made up of about 30 saw tooth jaggs. Again, it begs the question of how XP viewer was so good.
One is intrigued, but having got me irrigation system going, burdened with mowing the lawn. I shall read posts carefully,
Personally I much prefer the image viewer,
noted, and then return.
