Technically it's been a heatwave here as well, on Friday at 3PM I measured the tempreature in direct sun at 44°C, the official tempreature for that day was 38° which is about what I measured in the shade. My sheets dried completely in about an hour in full shade.
Anyone know where to get some samples of good quality Laserdisc rips? Testing a scanline shader and want to see how it looks 
Now it opens, but do not allow image uploading, nor sign up... it happened few other times lately, but after hours, it was ok, so, let's wait!
Is PostImage not working? Because I couldn't upload my Blu-ray cover of THX-1138 to grab the image link for some strange reason.
Tonight (1/18), I'm going to start uploading trailers for my projects onto their threads, beginning with Fistful of Dollars. Needless to say, they'll look better on the Special Features sections.
@ Jetrell Fo -- With GL, there is no "canon" 'cause he keeps changing it. 
This bit is from the comic book series, apparently under Disney. Disney is a bit more stable but, then again, they do have their "Song Of The South".

Disney is a bit more stable but, then again, they do have their "Song Of The South".It's Ying-Yang ... only so don't root for any one side. To do so will put The Force out of balance! Then (as succinctly put by Lt. Rozanov) "there is World War III, and every body is blaming YOU!" 
RE: Jedi Temple / Rebel Base: "The giant temples on the Yavin 4 moon are said to have been built ages ago by the Massassi to worship Naga Sadow, a Sith Lord who had enslaved and mutated the Massassi using Sith Alchemy." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yavin#Expanded_universe
Mr. Whitall is already burning in Hell for his mistake, but Jessica Falkholt just made it into Heaven.
I think that depends on the sources... It is the Rebel Base, build in an old temple... http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Temple_(Yavin_4) at least according to that "source"
My bad, I always thought for some reason, that the base on Yavin was an old Jedi Temple. My bad.
Anyway, snips aside, which do you think matches the original colors best? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCUOLFvXnyM
Interesting to note, not only is the foliage not the original either, that's not even the Jedi Temple, but rather the Rebel base on Yavin.
I have to admit ... the Bluray Jedi Temple shot is nice to see aesthetically even if it isn't the original.
Just don't tell George he's been out'ed. BTW, in the previous Star Wars matte shot comparison, I should've added the 2nd link, for the Blu-ray added to the compare -- http://i.imgur.com/6AmjkOz.png

I just tried it again (you know these cut&paste issues ) and it works, even with auto-blocking 3rd party link-code (NoScript browser addon).

He was as much a danger to himself as to the community, mind. Just goes to show just how dangerous disqualified driving is.
@Valeyard After reading the article, I'm convinced that if he'd been kept in jail like he was supposed to this Whitall character might still be alive today.
@IcePrick my Made In Hong Kong PAL VHS tapes all do this. My PCI capture card cannot lock on to the signal for more that a second, even with a DVD recorder acting as TBC. I just get snow. My USB capture device will accept the signal but I get the chroma noise. I think it's something to do with the signal on the tape being out of spec
Jessica Falkholt taken off life support: https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/state/ns...pport-off/ Sound to me like Mr. Whitall should have been kept in gaol where he belonged for the safety of the community.
Then I would guess it's some form of copy protection, and the reason it only appears on one capture device is because the other one has a TBC (time base corrector) or something similar. This is a wild guess, but it is a possibility I think
@TomArrow @zoidberg Yes it's a prerecorded tape. I don't recall these showing up on a TV, but I can check again to make sure. The error does occur on other tapes, but it seems to vary from tape to tape.
@IcePrick that's interesting - do they show up on a TV? Like zoidberg said - if its a prerecorded videotape maybe it's that scrambly copy protection - does the error occur with other tapes?

@IcePrick I think it's something to do with the chroma subcarrier. Is this a prerecorded videotape?
@TomArrow These errors are consistently present with varying intensity. The weird thing is, they only show up on one of my capture devices but not the other.
And IF anyone would have that precious item of desire, it would be wise to consider Jetrell Fo hint...
But to answer your question: IF anyone would have said workprint, there would be any hints regarding that in any of the Terminator 2 discussions. So I assuming the answer is: No one has said T2 Version.
https://forum.fanres.com/forum-5.html Maybe introducing yourself before you start asking for things would be a good idea. There is a basic etiquette here and we like to keep that going. Welcome to the site xchulilt, I hope you enjoy your stay.
Yeah I don't remember seeing that kind of chroma errors, other than maybe in single frames when there was some tape problem or when I recorded something over something else. Is it a constant error? Maybe your VHS player has some badly aligned or dirty heads or something that cause this issue (I'm not an expert). Either way, I think digitally filtering it may be difficult or more effort than its worth
I'm not talking about the interlacing. I'm talking about the chroma noise (or what ever kind of noise that is). Sorry for not making myself clear.
@ IcePrick -- it's a standard interlaced image (see the separate EVEN and ODD fields - https://s10.postimg.cc/43o0nvb4p/interla...fields.gif). Just de-interlace the video from 30 fps to 24 fps.

What is the best way to remove artifacts like this from VHS captures? http://images2.imagebam.com/01/b9/ff/359...245783.png (Look at the sky and the sides of the road).
yes bud, exactly to the first part and yes you could do the second as well but one of the other benefits of seedboxes is that there would be nowhere near as much upload/download traffic off your personal line
So the seedbox hosts the files and you DL it from the seedbox? I suppose another option would be to have a low power rig at home purely for seeding 24/7
And you wonder why I don't always agree with the way you handle things even though I have NO issue with you.
Anyone trying to tell you that I did that would be a liar. My email address is the same one I used for Blurg and the same one I use here. 
Jetrell Fo use a better email next time if your trying to make duplicate trolling accounts
What a movie sunday alone with the kids: SyFy just gave me a triple feature with Spaceballs, Men in Black and Total Recall in beautiful grainy fullscreen, now TNT is rounding it up with The Untouchables, followed by Schindlers List, Platoon and Departed. Capping them all...
@Jetrell Fo: I found the "i" in TEAM.. https://i.imgur.com/XRrbi3P.png (before anyone asks: that's a joke I pull very often, when someone uses this proverb, and it is certainly NOT directed regarding ANY user of this forum.)
https://i.imgur.com/XRrbi3P.png (before anyone asks: that's a joke I pull very often, when someone uses this proverb, and it is certainly NOT directed regarding ANY user of this forum.)@Commodore, the only solution is for you to take the hit and keep seeding there, the rules just don't offer regular users much room unless you are higher on the food chain. If I was still a member I'd toss some of my BON your way to help you out. EClara helped me out and I would just give BON to others who might need it to stay afloat. There is no "I" in team, ya know. LOL
It's not your problem to solve good sir. Being involved in the dialogue is more than enough.@OogieBoogie. Yes bud i understand. it makes sense for these rules to be implimented It just leaves people like myself behind. I'll honor my commitment to the rules but it might mean me having to go without because of my curcumstances. Thank you for joining the conversation there.
like i said to sporv here, i have their harry potter fanres for a long time, i seed for months and years, but not everyone is like me and there arent enough of us to keep everything going, so things get lost unless you implement tougher systems
i think i've already seen it bud. i do get where you are coming from just from the start everything we have implemented has been with one goal, long term torrent retention, using both prevention and cure methods to try and help things along. honestly, what is the point of another site that cant keep anything seeded?
@FrankT and OogieBoogie. Ive just posted a topic https://blutopia.xyz/community/topic/hit...estion.904 if you would both like to contribute
urgh, yeah, well download 4, hnr on 4 will get you banned just about everywhere bud
the rules arent hard there, seed anything you grab for 7 days, not much more to it than that
