Crop vs OAR
I know that this has been shown before but here is one example from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. I love this movie and I have the DVD and I compared the OAR DVD against the HD film on HD Cinema
OAR vs Crop You need to be kidding if you are going to argue against OAR. I have included this scene. It is in the first 10 seconds of the movie. You can see that in the crop HD Film you are missing part of the left and right of the OAR DVD. Not only that but in this scene there is a dog that will immediately appears in the OAR DVD but on the Crop HD Film it does not appear until much later. This is only the openning scene but you could find various parts of the movie where the action is cut off and you do not know until they appear later on.
Method used: I recorded the HD Film to my HS2 DVD through composite (downsize to 480p). I compared the same DVD at 480p.
PQ of HD Film vs DVD at 480p This one I have to laugh because I watched this movie on HD Cinema and then compared to the DVD at 480p. If you think the HD film had bad parts and it looked bad, take a look a the DVD and compare. DVD was fuzzy and showed a lot less details. HD transfer won this one without any doubt. Now I would rather see it OAR HD.
