 Episode 3- http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/89287/picture:0

Note: Personally, I don't really see anything different between the two videos except for the subtitles. I think they might have used the same raw files. But I don't know. I also tried my best with the comparisons, which I used the classic media player to capture. But i don't know why they come out differently.

herp-y-derp on my part, just realized that i messed up very badly on this. this is UTW, not derp (cause my other torrent is derp :/). I was really tired and was pre-occupied with other things while working on it, will fix asap. Sorry for the incovinince.

-FIXED-

Ours was encoded from a transport stream.  I would assume UTWs was as well.  It is possible the same, or very similar settings were used though.  Out of curiosity why are your screenshots from different frames?

[slyrboy]

Because im not smart, and i don't think i have anything that came use exact frames. i kind of tried to use the same times and tried my best to get it as close as i could. BTW, i guessing your a person from chihiro

Yeah.  I timed all of Aria except 1 episode.

Here are the frames from Chihiro's that matches the frames you used from UTW for the screen shot comparison (#4 actually matches)-

2.

3.


Lastly your screenshots look washed out compared to mine, and I don't have that weird whatever the hell it is you have going on in screenshot #3 for Chihiro in my video that you have in your screenshot.  What exactly did you use to take your screenshots?

[slyrboy]

I use to just use a screen shot and crop everything. but i found out that vlc ( i think that is it) has a screen shot function, so i tried it out.

That is your problem.  Don't use VLC for screenshots, or anything else for that matter.

Then how do i get screenshots?, ask the sub creators to get me some?

Assuming you use a PC get CCCP and Media Player Classic.  It has a button that let's you advance 1 frame at a time, so you can get exact matching frames from different releases, and to take a screenshot all you have to do is got to File>Save Image> then select .png and click save.  That's how I got mine to match yours.

Really?  i did't know that. thanks. ill try to fix both releases and put up another comparison. i might finish it before the weekend is over. if not, then definitely before next weekend, im just getting really busy with school right now :/
