    Yes, some DVD prints are worse than others. My "The Abyss" DVD is pretty awful for example. But that's splitting hairs, the replacement feature is for the shots which are obviously not DVD quality.

    Agonistes: I notice you replaced this shot : http://whatthemovie.com/shot/164

    It is better quality, but your new shot has black bars that werent there before.

    When replacing shots can you all please take time to remove the black bars. May seem petty but as we are fixing the image we might as well make sure we aren't introducing any new flaws or someone will just have to reupload it again anyway.

    Doh, sorry about that. Just checked my snaps, I took 2 shots of that scene, chose one that looked the best, removed the bars on that one, but accidentally uploaded the other one. Just tried uploading the correct one, but it gives me an error everytime. I guess a shot can either be replaced only once, or only once per user? In case it's the latter, here's the new shot so someone else can try it: edit: DONE

    Couldn't get the same frame without the interlacing being really obvious, so chose one a few frames later. Close enough I think.

    @Aralis: I replaced #19314 ( http://whatthemovie.com/shot/19314 ). However, my DVD has not very good quality either. At least the aspect ratio is right now.



    I don't think there is anything wrong with the other two Dirty Harry shots. The captures from my DVD look worse.

    Starsky & Hutch http://whatthemovie.com/shot/11064 (not from DVD)
    Hannibal Rising http://whatthemovie.com/shot/14812 (not from DVD)
    Note that those "not from DVD" shots are most likely to be promo stills. For both of them, the scene might actually have been shot from a different point of view.

    I think this replacement thing is a great improvement on WTM but there is an important drawback imho which is some people seem to be "chasing" all the old bad quality shots and vote deletion for that. Just a few examples on the first page:
    http://whatthemovie.com/shot/503
    http://whatthemovie.com/shot/504
    http://whatthemovie.com/shot/498

    I agree on the awful quality of all these shots, but I think that would be a shame to lose them. That was the very beginning of the game and of course the quality standards was not the same as what they are now, and I think we should find a system to avoid their deletion until they are replaced by better ones.

    I don't know what you think but I just wanted to give my opinion :)

    This is not a drawback to the replacement system shayah. These shots had the deletion votes before the replacement system was in place.

    Now of course, you shouldn't really vote to delete but try to find an appropriate replacement.
