[Koopa Luath]

Yes, to me.

Nice idea. I have a decent rip of the complete score if you need it.

I have this one:


Is the one you have the same, Jonno? I assume, maybe naively, that as long as there are no timing issues that it should be an easy line-up and sync....famous last words.

[jonno]

Yep, that's the one. I agree that it should be a relatively simple job (at least compared with Blade Runner, which seems to be composed of a thousand tiny fragments).

[PDB]

Cool thanks Jonno

[PDB]

So quick question and I assume the answer is yes: should I remove the tiny bit of windowboxing that the BD has?

[Stamper]

Nope, that would upscale and maybe add some encoding problems. I say leave as is, it's hidden by overscan anyway, thus giving us more image left and right on our TVs

[DoomBot]

You won't get any encoding problems by cropping it but it's a pretty minor edge so i'd say either is ok.

The CC is looking really good though.

[spoRv]

Stamper, sorry but, what TV set are you using? There are "pixel perfect" (read: 1:1 pixel mapping) HDTVs since 2008, so I don't see the reason to NOT crop the borders; yes, there will be a very minor quality loss - depending of the upscale method used, but as the source would be reencoded anyway, I guess it's better to get the most image as possible...

My usual 2€c, of course!

[PDB]

Yeah like Dooombot said it won't change the picture quality at all and like spoRv said your TV should be set to pixel perfect with no overscan.
