I know that some people can be very sensitive to certain quality issues, while other people (like me at times, apparently) remain oblivious to them. I have to look really closely.David32441 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 02, 2023 7:42 pmThe 1080p definitely seems like an improvement!
Yeah, slow audio makes them all sound like monsters
So you watched that scene in slo-mo too, huh? For quality checking only, of course.

Re: [REL] Gritta vom Rattenschloß (1985)
So your 1080p version (which looks quite crispy and amazing) is an AI.Upscale of the AmazonSD Version? Haha still boggles my mind that you don’t put sources in the file names, for example with this release I could think it was a BluRay rip cause it looks so good!
Re: [REL] Gritta vom Rattenschloß (1985)
That is why I myself don't worry too much about sources, because for the movies that I like I get spoiled by ghost's amazing upscales.
The one thing that concerns me in general is TV logos and how prominent they are, and I can see their presence or absence for FLM releases in screenshots.

ghost is the Amazon version uncensored? I notice there is a DVD release that says "HD remastered" so there must be a true HD version somewhere, hopefully it'll get a Blu-ray or streaming release: https://www.amazon.com/Gritta-von-Ratte ... B01MQZ6CPK
Re: [REL] Gritta vom Rattenschloß (1985)
AmazonVideo currently lists & sells it as SD. Ghosts version looks like re-scanned/remastered 35mm Film. DEFA films regularly get bluray releases or at least Hd Web..orangelamp wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 6:21 am ghost is the Amazon version uncensored?

Any movie shot on a common stock like 35mm could be released as a 4K bluray if they wanted. Basically, this includes films going all the way back to the golden age of the big studios in the 1920's and 30's. Why they remastered this film in HD without doing a bluray is beyond me. They did the same thing with another movie I posted here: Mérette (1982). HD remaster, no bluray. Only the studio could explain their logic.
Re: [REL] Gritta vom Rattenschloß (1985)
I think they mostly do it for vod/streaming release nowadays. But yeah, one of the most prestigious shows of the cable channel FX „The Americans“ only ever got it’s first season released on BLuRay. Likely because the demand & fanbase wasn’t enough. But it fascinates me because a show that was watched & praised by Obama, Stephen King and others didn’t get a BLuRay release while some ridiculous Horro B-movie will get one.deadman wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 9:51 pmorangelamp wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 6:21 am ghost is the Amazon version uncensored?

We can be very thankful for AmazonVideo and that it’s DRM is broken/can be ripped by the scene. Before Netflix/Amazon we mostly relied on the mediocre iTunes 720p WEB-DL‘s. Sites like AmazonVideo and also HBOMax, AppleTV provide much higher resolution and Bitrate these days. (I think higher than Netflix whose 4K isn’t that great)
