Seven Samurai is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.33:1. The picture has been slightly window-boxed to ensure that the maximum image is visible on all monitors. On widescreen televisions, black bars will appear on the left and right of the image to maintain the proper screen format. The original negative of the film is no longer available, so a new duplicate negative was created with wet gate processing from the original fine-grain master positive. This new high-definition digital transfer was created in 2k resolution on a Spirit Datacine from the new dupe negative. For the extensive restoration of Seven Samurai for this release, several different digital hardware and software solutions were utilized for flicker, instability, dirt, scratches and grain management including: daVinci’s Revival, Discreet’s Fire, Digital Vision’s ASCIII Advanced Scratch and Dirt Concealer, and MTI’s Digital Restoration System. To maintain optimal image quality through the compression process, the picture on this dual-layer DVD-9 was encoded at the highest-possible bit rate for the quantity of material included The new 4.0 mix was created from original optical track recordings, original stereo music masters, and original production sound effects masters. The original monaural soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit from on optical soundtrack print. Audio restoration tools were used to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle. The Dolby Digital 1.0 signal will be directed to the center channel on surround sound systems, but some viewers may prefer to switch to two-channel playback for a wider dispersal of the mono sound.

#37 Øh, nej, det er fullscreen, som det skal være. :) Problemet er at Criterion spilder en del af billedinfomationerne på at placere sorte bjælker rundt om billedet, således folk med elendige, gamle fjernsyn kan se hele billedet selvom deres fjernsyn overscan'er som en bastard. Men hvorfor skal formentlig snart størstedelen af forbrugerne nøjes med en ringere opløsning, bare fordi nogen stadig render rundt med elendige CRT-apparater?
We've got chicken tonight. Strangest damn things. They're man made.
#39 Selvfølgelig, du har ret! :( Og ja, vanvittigt at fullscreen apparater skal bestemme udviklingen i en 16:9 fremtid. Heldigvis kan man sætte projektoren til 4:3 og zoome lidt, så billedet fylder helt ud vertikalt.
Iøvrigt har jeg et "elendigt 4:3 CRT" fjernsyn, som jeg er meget glad for :) Den ryger først ud, når man kan få et ordentligt flatscreen over 50" med HDMI 1.3 og indbygget digital decoder til under 20K og hvor billedet med 480i materiale ikke ser ud af h...... til.
