Still downloading Freeform HP7.
But HP6 is in the vault now, and, as it contains the first minutes of HP7, I decided to give it a try... and... WOW! In comparison to old version - even if both are 720p - it's another world!
Nova HD was the old 720p, untouched, just bicubic resize to 1080p; the other is Freeform 720p, mpeg2 source at 13.3mbps (14.7mbps max) - and it shows - enhanced, delogo, magicup to 1080p, grain plate; the former helped to get rid of the logo of the latter.
Judge for yourself: 🔍http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/211250 - waiting for your comments!
Note: during this comparison, I noted that, at the contrary of previous films, the cropped shots on HP 7 (which amount at around 98%, give or take) has also less details on top and bottom... so, it would be better to get the BD - higher bitrate, effective 800p image, crop it and upscale to 1080p. Bad thing is, even if most shots are centered, there are many offset, so I should check the movie shot by shot...
