Yeah sound good. Banding and ringing is solved. What do you mean with tearing?

With 817p and certain numbers I get tearing of the image, mostly in the middle, when camera moves a little faster sideways and or upwards/downwards. I have these numbers for the time being as I came up with them tonight and tested.. still tears. Difficult to explain how it looks, small sections of the image gets zigzagy. I'll try some more with different numbers and see what happens.

No idea what the reason is but I always used powerstrip for custom resolutions under windows. Perhaps fun to install and try if it makes no tearing resolutions. But I am not sure what I am looking at.

It's Nvidia's own custom resolution center that goes with the graphics card, with my current numbers, but I need to translate I guess so that people can understand. Powerstrip cost's money and never did end up buying it. I'll look into that though..

Feel free to share you numbers and I'll try them with Nvidia, some numbers can be used.

Oh, yeah! I'll definitely try those numbers. Thanks a lot. If anyone else has numbers that I can use and try I would like them. But Nashe's numbers didn't work as good as expected because I couldn't make it fit my screen as it became to narrow. If I unhook the monitor I gain like a foot on each side but tiered of having to do so. I have set it up with the monitor connected this time.. so there's 2 ways around this + tearing in every case.

Why is everyone using 817p? I looked at my movies and most are 2.4 so 800p would be best. Or do you have both set up?

I have both set up but I never use 800 because I think it's the opposite.. rarely is it anything else then 2,35:1.

Most movies before the 70's were 2.35 now that are mostly 2.40.

Ok. I googled movies shot in 2.40 and came up with a few.. and looked at them, as I usually do on IMDB if they are 2,35 or 1,85, and they seem to always label them 2,35.. no wonder there's no 2,40 then. I think I need to look elsewhere for the proper ratio from now on. And also set up the pj slightly different perhaps.

most IMBD movies are listed as 2.35 but are mastered to BD in 2.4. If you down load movies i best hey do not list what they are mastered in.


From the Blu ray forum

Quote:
CinemaScope's Anamorphic Projection ratio was 2.55:1 originally with magnetic soundtracks.

Around 1957 they switched to optical tracks and the width was reduced to 2.35:1 to accommodate the optical track.

20th Century Fox used a special splicer but when studios used a normal splicer, you could see splice lines on a 2.35:1 aperture so in the 70's SMPTE changed the standard to 2.4:1 (actually 2.39), reducing the height of the image.
(You don't see splices on theaters every time the scene changes, do you? Then the movie is using the 2.39:1 height).

With the advent of digital sound prints in the mid 90's and the DTS control track, the Scope overall projector aperture was reduced ever so slightly again to make sure the control track wouldn't show up on the screen, which also made the 35mm anamorphic format width be exactly the same (20.955 mm/0.825") as all other 35mm projection formats since the implementation of the Academy ratio in 1931.


SMPTE standards allow for a 5% crop in theaters so 2.39:1 minus 5% width gives a 2.27:1 aspect ratio.

Similarly, 2.35:1 cropped vertically 5% could end as 2.47:1


In a related/unrelated note for example the 2.89:1 version of HTWWW is showing extra camera aperture image on the sides (but not the height) from the 2.59:1 camera aperture, that was not projected, while cropping the allowed, maybe about 5-6%, vertically from the 2.59:1 projector aperture, so 2.59:1 - 6% = 2.75:1 or so, plus extra image width from camera aperture = 2.89:1

I did not do the math but Craigr talks everytime about 818p. Example is this thread where he says to use 818p instead of 800p and 817p? Do I misunderstand?

I've dug up some old setting from others and will give them a go later.. I'll start with yours first and then move on to screenies from other users in the past. It shouldn't be to difficult finding one that works.

Do you run yours with long or short retrace?

Sorry my timings where barco related so perhaps not so useful. About the 818p I was thinking that if the player keeps the aspect ratio original it will add some black pixels on top and on the bottom I guess.

Why are you talking or thinking about going 800P?

Hi, I am not going for 800p. I only have 818p but there was some discussion about 818p or 817p. I do not think 800p will improve much and it is a lot of effort to set up another resolution.

In actual practise I use the 1080p resolution most because the other one is often not calibrated or not readjusted in convergence etc.

800 or 800 anything should be only because you're not able to resolve 1080, or if you have a special display that would require sizing considerations.

But for HT, and the absolute best in HT, you would have to respect the "Native Rate" of the resolution. So a True 1920X1080 resolution would need to remain True to its nature when being displayed, especially on larger screens.

For instance, when you modify a native resolution like 1920X1080 on either number, you diminish it's 2D dimensional effect. meaning also it will not have Depth (an attribute of HD). That depth is because of Bandwidth, Speed and Native Resolution. And the further you move away in numbers from that native rate, the more the HD image becomes SD

Yes ok that is true but we are talking about cropping the black bars from 2.35:1 material I think.

Mask the screen... keep the native

Ok but does not cropping reduce the bandwidth of the movie material?

I agree that we should avoid any type of scaling but do you really say that cropping affects the 3d effect of the movie? I am not sure but cropped I can go till 72Hz and it looks reasonable although it is clearly bandwidth limited but when I go to 1080p@72 it looks very soft on the barco. That is just to much while 818p@72 works reasonable. Not as sharp as a modified Marquee I suppose Wink
