MrBooth - what screen capture tools are you using? These are fantasticly clear and large frame caps

Just using PowerDVD 4.x set to capture as "original size"... they're big because they're from an anamorphic disc & I didn't resize them, and they're clear because I took some time to make sure I got good frames :p

(using the "step back" button on PowerDVD takes you to the last "I-frame" - i.e. a frame where the whole image was encoded rather than just the difference from the previous frame. Usually these frames will be the sharpest.)

Going through taking captures I realised how poorly compressed the Mei Ah remaster is, incidentally... lots of mpeg artefacts, looks more like a low bitrate DivX rip or something. You don't notice so much when it's in motion though...

Thanks - I guess I need to update my PowerDVD. I think I'm still running a free version 1.5 or something. Shame on me. :roll:

I need to update too - they're up to 6.x now! The latest versions have something called "Eagle Eye Vision" that boosts colours/contrast in quite a pleasing way...

Fantastic! Didn't think there'd be much to add for this one

What about Swordsman 3? :wink:

Give me a couple of days - only so much wu xia I can take in one dose these days! Luckily I'm off work for another 2 weeks so plenty of time for reviewing the classics (and more importantly, taking lots of captures afterwards!).
