I have several different versions. One is almost twice the size of the file I posted. However I believe this is the original source from which the others were encoded.Phuzzy4242 wrote:Comparing the two, it looks like the previous one is a little better quality - 1024x576 compared to 704x456, and 2369kb/s bit rate compared to 2180kb/s - but the new one is still appreciated, especially with the DD links.
The 1.75 GB version you refer to was smoothed and denoised (resulting in loss of detail) and the display dimensions set to 1024x576. There's also a 2.86 GB version which was contrast and brightness enhanced to make dark scenes easier to see, like the one with the girl sliding down the railing. That too resulted in loss of detail - and for reasons I can't quite fathom, the last part of the bedroom scene with her brother was cut out. You know me. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to image quality. I picked this one because the picture is sharper and more detailed than other versions.
I'd love to see a bluray. Especially one with deleted/extended scenes and a making of. Of course that's probably not going to happen, but I can still wish for it! A webrip or iTunes purchase is always a possibility, perhaps a run on Amazon Prime. I'll continue to check every so often and bring whatever I find here.
