BTW back to original topic of Abhimaan re-release – I wouldn’t trust anything GVI releases – mostly likely it’ll be a repackaged Baba DVD :music: :where:

Ali looking at the comb-natured image from Amjad Khan's shirt.. what can you conclude ? Is this interlaced or progressive ?

Sknath,
Combing does indicate interlaced source or improperly flogged disk. But even some of the progressive disks some times show this kind of combing on few scenes if not done right. If a picture does not have much of a motion it does not show combing even thou it is interlaced. But only the original poser can tell

I bought the EVP Aradhana from Indiaplaza.com way back in 1999 when I first got my DVD player. I also got the EVP Abhimaan from a local Indian store around the same time. Looks like you'll have to do a bit of searching to find them. I recently saw a copy of Aradhana at an Indian store, so maybe there is hope.

Okay Guys,
I had a look at the BABA version of Aradhana.. Those Bastards @Baba have ripped off the EVP DVD completely but have cleverly replaced the EVP logo at the bottom and put in thier stupid logo and it appears as a white blot at the bottom right corner of your screen. I dont know if the version is interlaced or progressive..But based on the only other BABA dvd that I have (2 Aanken 12 Haath) I would say that it will most likely be an interlaced product !

Well being the sort of dealer i am i brought the offical uk censored version of Dharamveer(gvi) and guess what it has a new menu but the print is used and transfer is exactly the same as the EVP version of Dharamveer........So from that i conclude the GVI Release of Abhimaan will be the same as th EVP

CORRECTION AND UPDATE:

THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY.

EVP's Barsaat Ek Raat: Is it an excellent print??
It looks excellent but the copy I have has 30 steps per second implying interlaced encoding.

Therefore I will score it only 7 as compared to 10 for Dharamveer and Abhimaan as they have 24 steps per sec implying progressive encoding.

Still, don't rely on this. There is no consistency between different batches of DVDs of the same title from the same company.

So far, out of my EVP Hindi DVDs, I have identified ARADHANA, KASHMIR KI KALI and BARSAAT KI EK RAAT that have 30 frames per sec. Yet, as dragunR2 mentioned, his ARADHANA DVD, which is from a different batch has proper 24 steps per sec.

Rana

Anyone get the subtitled versions of Abhimaan and Aradhana? Are they interlaced or progressive? Wasn't the subtitled version of Amar Prem interlaced?
