I am aware of that which is why I said that he may be using different presets. I also would not consider them worthless without knowing the reviewer and how he takes his pictures but certainly they show such huge differences that one cannot help but think that something is amiss.
Paramount+ would be an ideal venue for the Saga cut in 4K/Dolby Vision.
A streaming service to which no one subscribes sounds like the perfect place for that abomination!
Shall we talk about all the factors at play when evaluating from digital photos? No? It's even worse than DVDBeaver's screencaps, which are admittedly flawed. You have to make sure the white balance is equal between the display and the camera sensor, make sure it's pixel-for-pixel accurate, make sure that the display is calibrated, make sure there are no reflections, etc, etc,. It's a bit of a nightmare. We see huge differences, sure, but how many of those can be accounted for in the methodology of using a camera to photograph the screen?
I’ll betcha this had something to do with Diane Keaton’s involvement with Reds.Reading here that the "Coppola Restorations" blu-rays were a little too red drives me crazy. I paid good money for them, and they were supposed to be the definitive edition, representative of a very careful restoration... Why the hell were they too red??? Do we have to buy the movie once again to get an accurately graded image? How many times more will it take? Will it be wrong again this time?
At the end of 2021, Paramount+ had 33 million subscribers. Disney+, considered to be more successful and widely adopted, currently has 43 million. Both numbers are US/Canada.
The Paramount+ 33 million figure is worldwide. Disney’s worldwide total is 130 million.
ViacomCBS renames itself as it plays catch-up with Paramount+, its streaming service. (Published 2022)
Shares declined about 6 percent in after-hours trading despite news that the company’s streaming portfolio had reached about 56 million subscribers.www.nytimes.com
My comment had more to do with my disdain for saga and was not based on any research or knowledge whatsoever of Paramount+’s business, except the obvious that it’s among the least popular of the mainstream streaming services.
To be fair, Paramount does have a much smaller and less popular library than Disney or HBO Max. I'm no authority but I'd imagine that 30 million is pretty decent all things considered.
Are you referring to the Vegas image?
I wonder if that number will decrease significantly, with all of the discounted inaugural subscriptions coming up for renewal this month. I canceled my subscription, which I got for half price when the service began a year ago. Tomorrow is the final day I will have access to Paramount+.
Exactly! I was pointing out the stupidity of the situation that the execs had no clue what the process was/should be and that the argument was ludicrous. Still trying to remember where the story came from. It occurs to me now that it might be apocryphal if it was the Robert Evans book.
