Question about Trigun DVD's

Cole · Post by **Cole** » Sun Oct 05, 2003 3:30 pm

I just finished up a Trigun video, and looking at the finished product, I'm wondering if I should have ripped the DVDs instead of capturing from them. There is noticeable color bleed throughout the video, though nothing that ruins the picture quality. I know alot of you have made Trigun videos, have you ever noticed color bleed when you rip your footage?

Also, when I started working on this last weekend, I spent a day re-watching the whole series to find good footage. Is it just me, or does every DVD after the first one seem to be of less quality video-wise? Not that it looks bad, I mean that the first DVD looks, well, cleaned up, and the rest of them look like I'm watching it off regular cable.

Also, Pioneer was really skimpy with extras on those discs.

Anata wa baka desu!!!

If you have the option, ALWAYS rip DVD footage. You lose heaps of quality when you analog capture from a digital source.

If you're referring to the rainbowing on the R1 Trigun discs, try my rainbow reduction filter.

So what? It's already done. Rather than telling him, "hey stoopid, redo the video", I'm trying to, you know, help.

...and the filter is useful EVEN IF you ripped instead of captured. Trigun is one of a number of R1 DVDs that don't look good even when ripped.

Whats this R1 thing? Region 1 by any chance? I wouldn't have that problem, I'm in a Region 4 country. A region 4 PAL country too. w00t.

Yes, region 1. R1 doesn't have a monopoly on poor production values, but I don't have any R4 examples. Whatever.

*stands off to the side as question is asked in front of his face to somebody else who not only doesn't know but doesn't care either*

I usually capture because I take short segments. Ripping takes too long for my tastes, especially when what I want is only for a minute or two from a 15 minute long VOB file which would take an hour to rip/encode on my computer just so I can edit and re-encode again. I don't do this for a living, and I like to make the most of my free time when I edit (i.e using my computer instead of letting it sit idle for hours ripping DVD's). If I was stuck with only ripping footage, I doubt I'd do this very often.

Thanks for the filter link, dd, I'll check it out. Might come in handy with some other DVD's.
