Thanks!

Which of these are anamorphic?

No problem! Of course, my reward is all the great screen captures I wouldn't otherwise get to see!

Any idea when Drum Beat will be out? I'll buy it if it is widescreen.

Hi, Would you be willing to post the entire list of available Bounty titles here or in a new thread? I doubt Drum Beat will appear in Warner Archive because Warner say they no longer owns the rights to it. Here is a quote from the 2007 chat: http://events.hometheaterforum.com/chat/warner07.txt

Wow! Where did you read this? I've wanted to see Drum Beat for ages!

Yeah those captures look great. So that's another film Fox has preserved but not released in R1.

The easiest way is using VLC Media Player, which is free and open source: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ In VLC go to TOOLS / PREFERENCES and select VIDEO on the left. This will show you the capture setting screen. That should look like this: You need to change the capture FORMAT (at the very...

Ahh, the plot thickens. I'll have to wait for some screen caps.

Walk the Proud land is clearly cropped. The DVD aspect ratio is about 2.2:1 when it should be 2.35:1. It seems to me that most of the cropping is on the left side of the image. Of course it is far better than having a pan and scan copy, but it isn't the full image.

Send them an email! They may take the requests more seriously if lots of people keep requesting the same thing: [email protected] They seem to have a contract with Universal, or at least a company that licenses Universal films in Australia.

Is The Last Hunt widescreen and anamorphic?

Thanks for confirming that Violent Saturday is anamorphic, I'm much more interested in it now rather than if it was just an old non-anamorphic cable TV master. I bought Walk the Proud Land from this Australian eBay seller: http://myworld.ebay.com.au/zigfried0412/ It arrived quickly and was...

I got this disc today. It is non-anamorphic widescreen, the aspect ratio is about 2.21:1 instead of the original 2.35:1. The disc is also interlaced. It is good to have the film on DVD, but the transfer isn't worth more than the $8 I paid for it. These images were captured using VLC Media Player...

Thanks for your feedback. Did you mean the DVD is anamorphic encoded? Cos the packaging says it is 4:3 letterboxed? Is that a packaging mistake? Is it 2.55:1 or 2.35:1?

I don't think it is out until tomorrow. According to the back packaging, it isn't anamorphic encoded, so it is probably just an old made for cable TV transfer.

That's a pretty hazy looking image. I guess that was from a cable TV transfer? According to this website...

There's some screen caps from the Spanish Rains of Ranchipur DVD here: http://www.mundodvd.com/showthread.php?t=71722 It looks close to OAR (2.55:1) and 16:9 encoded to me. It looks far better than the crappy TCM copy I have.

That same site has Violent Saturday listed for release on March 17: http://www.elcorteingles.es/cine/productos/producto/producto.asp?cod_referencia=25941225697# Pretty crazy cover art:
