I've stumbled across this DVD ... beautiful movie ... not many cars present but I also want to see if my cut/crop/resized skills (?) are improving

One-star

- Corvair convertible?

- car on the left (if possible)

- two 'classics'

- this wagon 'should' belong to a character, but it's seen only in the background of this shot, so I put it in the one-star category

- a lot of nice cars parked here, I got a second shot for something that appears to be a Ferrari?

I think the white Rolls Corniche reappears here, always as background

- car in background on a film daily ... background car nevertheless?

Two-stars

- Chevy Belair '57, this vehicle is used by the main characters but only in one scene ... for me is a two-star, you guys decide

- same happens with this Porsche 356 ... seen in two shots, here

and here

- and for this Mercedes ...

- and this SL which we only see in this shots


- VW Trasporters?



- vehicle used only in this shot by a secondary character

Three-stars

- Bruce Lee (main character) rides the bike in more occasions, I believe is a Triumph Bonneville. These are the only shots in which it does not blur and/or gets a full frame


I got a couple more but I a m facing multiple problems... hope latter before the site goes into maintenance

It is only the site that will be under maintenance, not the forum
Picture seem good, except a ratio problem
It is especially visible on these two pictures:

... wheels are not round!

Maybe I have some tips for your 'ratio-problems'....

I have had some troubles myself, but now it seems to be OK.

I make screencaptures with Media Player Classic. This provides me pictures of 720x576 pixels.
Mostly on the DVD is written what the ratio is, 4:3, 5:4, 16:9.

4:3 = 1.333333333333
5:4 = 1.25
16:9 = 1.85

I make this sum (I don't know a good word for it, sorry).

720 / 1.33333333 (depending on the DVD ratio) = 540.
Then I make the picture 720x540 pixels.

You can also do this with a width you want (640 / 1.333333333 = 480, so 640x480).

P.S.

If I have time tomorrow, I will upload them (if imcdb is up...)

aha ... very interesting ... it's a long and complex road
I've tried the resizing of one of the pics with trouble .... is this better?

if not I don't know what to do ... I'll try WinMediaClassic ...


Haven't you heard Germans are at the cutting edge of technology? Revolution is underway

I'm seeing now ... is worst ... aaargh

Anyone know why I get these ragged images (check some pics)?
This is the 1st time I see 'em and don't understand why it happens ... DVD problem? The device has only a couple of weeks ... video card?
Tks.

Nope. Studebaker Lark. I'll name the rest later on.

Looks kind of Chrysler-ish. Then again, it's in the dark.


The red & white wagon is a Rambler, and the white one is a Ford Falcon.

I think you DVD-ratio is 2.35. I had nog mentioned that option above.

The image is 720 wide.
Do: 720 / 2.35 = 306, the new hight must be 306, then it looks OK and the wheels are round...

So:

4:3 = 1.333333333333
5:4 = 1.25
16:9 = 1.85
?:? = 2.35 *

* I don't know that scale, but if it's not one of the others, it's 2.35

let me re-size all to 2.35 (720x306) and we see ... thanks

OK. You do the resize?

I cannot get it right
I'm going to install Win Media Classic and check it again.
Of course if you have free time

Please someone tell me if this is right?
To me it looks good ... if so I can remake the others ...


ciao!

This one seems to be right.

Yes, I think so too.

Good. As soon as I can I'll re-post the pics in the right shape.
Thanks for the patience

OK.

OK, so after some time I've managed to se-size all pics to the (I hope) correct ratio.

One-star

- Studebaker Lark


- car on the left (if possible) It was mentioned it looked Chrysler-ish


- two 'classics' .. one is a Rambler


- this wagon probably belongs to a character, but it's seen only in the background of this shot, so I put it in the one-star category
It was suggested is a Falcon (US Falcon, that is )


- a lot of nice cars parked here, I got a second shot for something that appears to be a Ferrari?



- I think the same white Rolls Corniche reappears here, always as background


- car in background on a film daily ... more background than this it cannot get, really?


Two-stars

- Chevy Bel-Air Convertible '57, this vehicle is used by the main characters but only in one scene ... for me is a two-star, you guys decide


- same happens with this Porsche 356 ... seen in more shots, here



... and here


- and for this Mercedes ...


- and this Merc SL which we only see in these shots



- VW Trasporters? Both of them get 2-stars
one ....

and another ...



- vehicle used only in this shot by a secondary character


Three-stars

- Bruce Lee (main character) rides the bike in more occasions, I believe is a Triumph Bonneville. These are the only shots in which it does not blur and/or gets a full frame



There are some other shots, but they are very fuzzy and/or veeeery background. Plus I believe they 'recycle' some of the cars which seem to re-appear at intervals as background ... for me is all.
Hope I did right

It looks OK! Thanks.
