I know everything about the OAR concept. However, I have more respect for this principle with movies. Movies have months of editing, in which the director can make sure the framing is exactly as he intended. On live events like this, however, editing is done on-the-fly. The shots aren't as meticulously composed as in a movie. It hurts a lot less to tilt&scan those.Partyslammer said:
To those that think they'd prefer a matted 16:9 image, understand that when the video was originally shot, the compositions were photographed with 4:3 viewing in mind.
Ouch, big mistake. If it was indeed shot on video, there will of course be no film grain on it...
Also, as I mentioned previously, a non HD matted 16:9 video will have to be upscaled and it will be noticably grainier on *any* tv then any true HD video such as the recent Chicago dvd.
Actually you would lose only 25%.Hoodlem said:
Are you people honestly trying to tell me that you would rather have half of the original image completely removed just so that it will fit on your precious widescreen TV? That would completely destroy the original artistic vision of the director not to mention that you loose HALF OF YOUR ORIGINAL PICTURE!!!
Another consideration: now this ZooTV DVD is coming, undoubtedly they will release a PopMart DVD at some time too. PopMart was all about BIG, STUNNING visuals. How to create this big feeling at home if it's a small pillarboxed video on your widescreen tv?
