I just read the entire topic and realized that my Matrix shot was replaced by Zythux. http://whatthemovie.com/shot/52272
I'm not mad or anything, this one does look better, but it was a DVD shot, was the quality really that bad?
And there's also this one http://whatthemovie.com/shot/24315 , which was also a DVD shot and I can't see such a big improvement.
Were these shots really that bad they needed to be replaced? Were they replaced by blu-ray shots? -
Open them on seperate tabs in your browser, and flick between them. Your shot was pretty bad in comparison. If it was from DVD I would be asking for my money back. And your shot had a big black bar along the top. Asmodai's shot is a DVD shot, not BD.
In this particular case the update was a huge improvement. The matrix one though, I'm not so sure. -

Yeah, I guess you're right... I never noticed the black bar before and the shot does look better. Sorry for complaining so much, then. =)
But I can assure you it's a DVD shot. Maybe it's a crappy DVD and maybe I should have asked for my money back, but it's a DVD shot.
EDIT: I just took the shot again to have a look and it didn't look as crappy as the first one. Are there any other reasons for bad quality? Like the program I was using at the time or anything like that? -
Possibly the program you used at the time saved the shot as a compressed jpg, instead of png, that can effect the outcome.

You can remove the Hellraiser shot from your list LordMyst:

Thanks, Asmodai. Sorry, again. -
OK, I replaced some Dreamer shots.
1) the promo shot #2232 ( http://whatthemovie.com/shot/2232 ) with the closest match I found on the DVD:
2) the shot agonistes put on the list (#1101 http://whatthemovie.com/shot/1101 ):
3) one of my shots which was from I time I didn't own the DVD yet :( (#15305 http://whatthemovie.com/shot/15305 ). A slight improvement is notable:

about your latest list
you can cross out Mortal Kombat Annihilation -
@liliskywalker
I'm sorry for replacing your matrix-shot, I replaced it because the other one looked better, but I didn't realise it came from a Blu-ray. I thought it had been reverted by the mods, but guess something went wrong there... -
I just went trhough the shots from "From dusk till dawn", I think these one should be replaced (I also added he replaceplease tag on each one):

The problem with From Dusk till Dawn is that there are some crappy DVD's out there (my version being one of them), so most of the shots you want replaced are still DVD-quality, and that is what matters. I replaced some of the shots you gave replacements for, though, because the originals there really were bad and I doubt they were from DVD, but the last two really were DVD-quality, so I let them stay. But thanks, keep them coming guys, day 1 is looking much better already!
-
OK, thx Asmodai, I know what you mean, I got some crappy DVDs too, from which I'll never dare to take any shots... Or maybe I should, just to know how much time it will take to get them deleted :)

Hey @buschko allowed me to update this shot http://whatthemovie.com/shot/27406 but doesn't work. Is it because is a contest shot? -
-
Yes, only shots in archive can be replaced at the moment.

Wow, I think I'll have to re-buy half of my dvds...many of them have these weird looks, weird aspect ratio, etc. Thanks everyone for posting these new shots, I'm comparing them and it's like, "wow, now I can see it!" haha! Feels much better looking at them now ;) -
updated IMDB shot Transporter http://whatthemovie.com/shot/1142#
because its a promo shot the exact shot doesn't exist in the movie -
Otto - Der Film http://whatthemovie.com/shot/1124
Karate Kid http://whatthemovie.com/shot/1139
got two more for the list -
Done :)!

thx :)

Promo shot:
Should I upload this shot instead of the promo one?
I know it's kinda blurry and dark, but it's the nearest shot of the original. -

I know that they are not exactly the same, but the same shot would have been blurry on my dvd :) Revert if you don't like it :D! -
Razzomega, @ Jumper, can you find a non-blurry shot that still has that guy with his vacuum cleaner? Doesn't have to be the exact pose, just something close to it. I wouldn't replace it with the one you got now, that's just too blurry.
-
@Asmodai: Not from the same scene no, but other places in the movie yes :P!

Karate Kid shot its a promo shot and not really in the movie, this is the best i could find

What is wrong with this shot from Hellboy 2: http://whatthemovie.com/shot/65771 ?
-
@Razzomega
I think its a bit distorted
but this one doesn't need fixing in my opinion -
Judging from its size, it's not distorted.
I think whoever use the "replaceplease" tag should add a shout explaining why, especially when the reason isn't that obvious.
That's what I do for most of the shots I replace.
For instance, I'm not sure what's wrong with this Minority Report shot http://whatthemovie.com/shot/9 There are a few artefacts, but that's DVD quality IMHO. I think we'll only get a noticeable improvement if we update it to a Blu-ray shot... and we already agree that we do NOT replace good DVD shots with Blu-ray ones. -
Agree with you both, it's necessary to to make a explaining shout when tagging it with "replaceplease"...
-
I agree with that hellboy shot, but that minority report shot does look quite a bit distorted here. I put it on the list because I do not own the dvd, so can't check myself.

Original shot :
A similar shot from the Blu-ray disc (guaranted 100% NOT distorted) :
I guess it's actually slightly cropped on top and bottom. Probably from the original source.
