Kenny, basically the ones who were kidnapped. I believe the entire world followed the case of the kidnapped japanese missionaries. Part of the japanese population saw everything as just a humiliation Japan had to face because of immature and irresponsible “wanna be heroes.” But, this is the countryside! It doesn’t mean you will see this kind of behavior being generalized in Tokyo, this is the kind of countryside bubble you can find pretty much in every country in world. Obviously the kind of “individuality” each place will see as disturbing or unwanted will vary from country to country.
This is more like a suggestion and also some sort of poll to see if more people agree with me about it. I believe every Criterion disc should come with calibration tools, like color bars, plunges, etc. Although most will say that once you have your TV calibrated it doesn’t matter, it would be good to be certain i am watching the Criterion disc the way it should. Since Criterion is so serious about PQ, these tools would be helpful.
Sometimes i also wonder about the brightness control, the correct IRE level. Sometimes Criterion just uses the best transfer available, japanese eclipse films are an example of that, and the IRE level between these different sources of masters may be different, like the difference between the Japanese NTSC-J and US NTSC, for instance.
Some times i feel like the blacks a washed out and my brightness is too high, even-though my HT is calibrated, and i am not sure if i am supposed to see the noise i see in the shadows. With the new BDs, i think it has become even more important to include calibration tools, Chungking Express is an example of a disc where i am still in doubt about the correct adjustment.
(This is not actually about 16-235/0-255 greyscale range.)
About the “universal” release, it happens when they are sure it will be a universal money sucking success. when in doubt, they won’t spend the money to print thousands of 35mm copies to send around the world. What happens most of the time, is waiting for something like the Oscars to provide “quality seal” that will appeal to the masses, working as a sort of insurance. After that, they can SELL the rights to distribution to some other studio in an specific region for a better price.
A single studio can, and often do, hold the universal rights of a movie, but it doesn’t mean it is profitable to universally explore the movie and if you don’t have a branch overseas you won’t have the infrastructure to operate on your own.
Of course this is all very basic, just a simplification.
Criterion is probably the most respected and important art-house distributor in the US and since this site is somehow connected to them it is plausible to feel encouraged to talk about the collection. There are indeed many others distributors of great and quality film material, but they are not so big, or not so concerned or focused in “art-house” material. And, because of region restriction and PAL/NTSC compatibility, european quality collections like MoC (Masters of Cinema) and Second Run (my favorite) are not often brought up. Anyway, many users are film students and the usual recommendation from every film school is to watch every Criterion. So, it is pretty much the easiest way to have quality access to quality gems.
So, because of all its quality and content fame, it is expected that Criterion ends up being part of any film discussion anywhere on the net. And since this site is associated to Criterion, people also hope their opinions and polls will be heard.
Musycks, do you REALLY think that a popular vote, like the ones from MTv, will mean quality and technical control of movies??? I really don’t know what makes you think that…
Adam, where did you read about the coke cans? I read Gary Tooze’s review and i agree with him about the Criterion BD being the best available, but i really wonder how the Artificial Eye BD will look, since its DVD is so different from the Criterion one, in colors and black levels. Anyway, calibration tips from Criterion would really help.
The Criterion is certainly the more accurate, i just wish i were sure how to “grab” the image correctly… And i also can’t wait for the Ashes of Time, good thing Artificial Eye BDs are region free, at least the ones already released.
I’ll just leave a tip, i don’t know how much is your budget, but the Sony PMW-EX3 is the best in its price range. It actually is very competitive even with more expensive cameras and easy to use, as well as versatile. I use a AJA IO HD with it (http://www.aja.com/html/products_Io_IoHD.html) and i am able to capture 4:2:2 10 bit video from the HD-SDI connection directly in Pro-Res for use with the Final Cut. The image is outstanding. Now, if you are not willing to expend much, i would say the new Canon HG21 (A handycam, but capable of 1080p24/30) would be the best pick. I actually tried many cameras and after editing i couldn’t find any difference between the HD video from it and other expensive ($5000) cameras. It is cheap, easy, and the support equipment is cheap as well. You can make pretty good films with it, the image would NEVER be a bother, at least to me. Like the other fellow said above, you can save some money and apply yourself to your script.
Tokyo Sonata is probably his best. I Also like Kairo a lot, it is infinite better than the US remake. I completely disagree about “the cliché crap of Kairo”, it was inspired on “Serial Experiments: Lain”, an anime series, and basically argues about the awareness of individuals about the virtual reality and the real. I can’t even see the cliché in repetition of technics since this was a 2001 movie. i am assuming you are talking about the more contemporary asian horrors.
Please don’t be offended D. Clancy, but this is probably the weirdest comparison i have ever read. Nakadai being compared with Lambert and Reeves was a surreal horror show!
I think Nakadai was a genius in Harakiri, i still remember how impressed i was with his role, i can’t even imagine that character being played by anybody else. Besides his samurai roles, he is very versatile, If we limit the examples within the Criterion releases we will find amazing performances of his in “When A Woman Ascends The Stairs,” “The Face of Another,”and Kwaidan that are far from the villainous roles he performed. Buraikan is another good example of his versatility, as well as many others…
I really don’t know much about Shintaru Katsu to opiniate about him, but Coppola’s declaration is definitely an overstatement.
Keagan, i disagree with you about the AVCHD in iMovie/FCP. When you use the Log and transfer in FCP you transcode the AVCHD to Apple ProRes, when you use iMovie you transcode it to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) which is quite worse. You should go with the FCP workflow all the way.
About the HVX200 and EX-3, if you are not going to capture uncompressed through HD-SDI, i find the HVX200a more interesting. DVCPRO HD at 100Mb/s is way better to work than “MPEG-2 long GOP”. I also like the softness of the HVX200a picture and the more balanced colors.
Any chance for an iPad support app coming soon? As you know the iPad doesn’t support flash websites, but it is becoming a very popular way to watch videos anywhere, just like MUBI. Besides, it is also a very common gadget used in film productions nowadays.
This topic is old, but i Think the way you started the site is already wrong. You could have just used Youtube to broadcast your movies, YouTube has some nice support for companies selling their content online. Besides giving support to PS3 before a mobile gadget like the iPhone or iPad doesn’t make much sense for a site concerned with being available anywhere. Meaning airplane, traveling abroad, in the middle of a film production somewhere, while lunching or taking a break anywhere…
Flash is really trash in quality and everything and unnecessary. Take this website to another level fast because everybody else is already dropping flash and moving on with better technology and quality.
But anyway, I at least hope the iPad support will come anytime soon.
No I don’t, it is actually rather silly to start using ad hominem in this discussion because you are a site fan, moderator or whatever. I know what I am talking about. It is not about being an Apple fan, I am not, what is good is good what is bad is bad. Flash is an old technology and adobe didn’t update a single thing since it acquired Macromedia. People only use it, because it is easy to be implemented, most people who don’t know a thing about web programming will jump into it. You don’t need to use QuickTime there are plenty of alternatives out there.
Besides, I hope you know people can download every single flash film you place in this site… So is flash security.
Alex, I will truly avoid that childish apple vs adobe war. About Flash itself, can you please tell me what you can only do with Flash that you can’t do otherwise???
And about Large screen nonsense, this site DOES NOT PROVIDE the quality needed for a large screen viewing. And probably will NEVER provide while using flash. This site provides mobility and a possible universal access. I couldn’t care less for what David Lynch says, a CINEMA huge screen fan will can easily apply the same stupid logic to your 50’ LED screen. If a movie does not having anything else to offer but a visual candy for huge screens it can go right to the can, the trash one.
But it is nice that you used YouTube, I could watch it on my iPad…
As you can notice, supporting iPads and other mobile device won’t keep the site from working with your TV screen.
You are again into this Adobe vs Apple thing and this is getting annoying. I would never sell my content to be distributed in a Flash (full of security holes) site.
>For the application we use at the university where I work, our media player must support not only video, but audio and still image files in our digital repository and be able to transition seamlessly between each. It must also support LDAP verification and tagging.<
Silverlight can do that, Quicktime Streaming Server as well.
> You can’t do all this with HTML5 (yet). For something as simple as a YouTube (or Mubi) player, HTML5 works just fine, but you can’t ask it to do much more.<
I don’t know about that, but the main point here is MUBI!!
>Basically, faculty and students with iPads and iPhones will be left out if they want to use a mobile version of our media application. Which is a bummer for them.<
I think it is a bummer for you… and read bellow all the disadvantages of using flash.
>As far as the quality issue is concerned, we have been encoding all of our video using the H.264 standard in an mp4 container for 2 years now. We just happen to deliver it though a Flash based player and there is absolutely no difference in the streaming quality between what we use and something “optimized” for the iPad.<
First, based on the features you said you are using on your server it seems it is unlikely you are using H.264, since you can’t encapsulate H.264 into SWF, therefore you can’t take advantage of MOST flash features while using H.264.
Not only that, when you use Flash to encapsulate and stream H.264 you lose the ability to search, you make processing of higher quality video memory heavy (more than it would usually be outside flash), you lose the possibility of adding and working with subtitles and multiple subtitles, you can’t work with multiple resolutions that can save bandwidth based on the user’s preference. Besides, it is VIRUS PRONE!!! dumping and drive-by is FAMOUS, and even though we believe that MUBI and YouTube won’t dump any malicious script into our computers, flash is also prone to memory leak and crashing.
I will say again High CPU and memory usage makes Flash the WORST choice for high quality or HD video distribution, some computers can’t even start loading it.
>You say that you would never sell your content to be distributed on a Flash site, yet in your post from six days ago, you suggested that Mubi do exactly that, by distributing their media on YouTube. What gives? Oh, and YouTube is still very much a Flash-heavy site: http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20009244-264.html<
You may have a problem reading, since I myself mentioned in my last post that YouTube is flash based, did you even read it?? The major difference is that YouTube is also a html5 player. It gives you the option. Besides, what I suggested to Mubi and this is clear to anyone willing to understand, is that if they decided to go with this Flash Model they should at least try to use YouTube since it offers more compatibility anyway. And my suggestion is still up.
>The web developers I work with will be surprised to hear that they are not, in fact, using h.264 video for our streaming server, so thanks for the heads up. I wonder how I got the files I encoded myself with Handbrake and Adobe Media Encoder to work? There must be some crazy explanation.<
Your reality distortion bubble is about to explode, what I said is that IF YOU USE H.264 like you said you do you can’t use most of the flash capabilities that require swf since YOU CAN NOT ENCAPSULATE h.264 into swf. SO, this clearly means hat you could be using any other streaming service with your h.264 videos with a much better result! Therefore using Flash to stream h.264 is a nonsense!
>As I said before, Flash isn’t perfect, but neither is HTML5, which can also be a CPU hog , depending on which browser you use. Believe me, I get really annoyed when my MacBook heats up enough to fry an egg while watching streaming video. But this happens not only when I’m using Flash, but also with Silverlight and HTML5 based players. Fortunately, Flash is now supporting hardware acceleration which will really help ease the CPU load.<
Flash through flash player accepts hardware acceleration for a long time now, nothing new about that, but the only thing it accelerates is your fan and CPU! It is still the same memory eater some times worse than bad java programming. It is a memory T-Rex!
And again, it doesn’t matter people prefer to watch Mubi films on huge TV sets, making it available for mobile devices won’t change a thing, it will add compatibility. And right now the site does not offer quality meant for huge screens and it’s proposal does not match HQ HomeTheater’s standard, on the other hand it does seem to go with the mobile philosophy. So PS3? It this site aimed to 15 year old gamers? And BTW, Mubi doesn’t work with the PS3 browser why not??
there is a country listed for every single movie, just follow this one which is listed and it is fine. It is better to have something than to have nothing else to narrow your search.
Every single pirate site has a better search engine. Please add data to narrow the search, Country, Director, Actor… and an option to search for available movies only.
Also, I can’t see the movie total rating after I rate it, all I see is my own rate. Doesn’t make much sense to me…
PS3?? So all the rest, who do not use PS3, is paying MUBI to support PS3 and simply forget the website in this mess??
Flash, PS3… I am starting to doubts about this project here. You keep doing this because you have sort of a monopoly now… but wait till some other comes with a serious universal web project.
BTW, does anybody know of another site, besides Netflix?
