HD Retrovision Component Video at 480i. As PS3 does not run HD over Component Video, and hasn’t for over 10 years. If I had more than one set of Component Video cables I could connect my Sony BDP-S480. I’ll actually connect my PS3, S480, and Dish Joey 3 via HDMI once I get an HDMI Switch.
One of the HDMI ports doesn’t work and my PC is priority until I get an HDMI switch. Still, 480i with no upscaling and it looks insane! Using a VESA stand with swivel.
Played some War Thunder and now watching Star Trek First Contact. It’s nuts this is only a 480p movie and it doesn’t look like it’s 480p. I used to have an LG 60PV250, but this has far better PQ. I also have my PS3 connected. The PS3 only has 30 days on it last time I used the PS3 Tool Kit. I bought it and it was new old stock. Unused.
As I suspected, Discotek Media did a 5Mbps AVC master to fit on 1 50GB DL disc.
MakeMKV backup of all of Season 1, removed the fake HD BS, cut the pillar boxes off, uncompressed Japanese DTS HD MA converted to uncompressed LPCM Japanese audio, burned in the PGS subtitles, and fit 31 episodes at 6Mbps AVC using TMPGEnc Authoring Works 7 and burned via ImgBurn. Over 12 hours of content.
Running true 4:3 DVD’s via a Panasonic DMP-BD80 and Sanyo HT32546 over Component Video.
Dragon Box backups converted to SD on Blu-ray. Self authored with TMPGEnc Authoring Works 7. Even found the actual playback information. Panasonic DMP-BD80 on Sanyo HT32546 over Component Video. Video taken on iPhone 14 Pro Max via Blackmagic Cam app. 29.97 FPS, 1/60th shutter speed.
Used MakeMKV to make backups of my own Sailor Moon Blu-ray’s, then used Handbrake to cut the pillar boxes off and scale to 480p, then used TMPGEnc Authoring Works 7 to properly create the Blu-ray author, then used ImgBurn to create an ISO then burned the ISO onto the disc. Playing it on a Panasonic BMP-BD80 and Sanyo HT32546. This is just on a Shadow Mask set and already looks this good. So I could only imagine it on a Sony Trinitron KV-35XBR48, KV-32FS120, or even a KV-32FV310.
