Forum: feature_films Subject: Re: Is this movie PD? If so, please move

Hi, I'm aware of that info about The Trap, thanks, it's only that some sources claim the movie is PD anyway and others say it's not. I just need a moderator to decide whether to move or remove. I don't seem to be able to delete it myself.

'Would it be unfair to say that those who want to "de-oldify" old movies are people who don't like old movies?'

Yes, it would be unfair to say that. I love old movies, that's why I choose to colorize certain ones (mostly lively/comedic 20s-30s). I feel it brings the era and people 'to life' to put them in vibrant colour rather than monochrome. OTOH, I wouldn't colorize a Film Noir (although I have a Film Noir fan friend who keeps asking me to! Nope, it would be sacrilege!). If you don't like colorized movies you don't have to watch them, stick with original B&W. :)

I know about renaming mp4s to mpeg4 here. Mine are mostly 450-800MB and I feel that's small enough without losing quality. My last upload was 1.1GB so I did rename it mpeg4 and it got derived to a much smaller mp4 which had notably lower quality.

Don't know what you mean about changing aspect ratios or removing part of the picture, that's not something I would do. ??
