Hauppauge PVR sucks with the colors. If I capture with non-hd elgato the colors would pop out more but at a cost of the bitrate. i keep capturing with Hauppauge PVR because it benefits with a higher bitrate. I have not watched Austin Powers on our tv yet so I can't tell you how good it looks in person. Based off the screenshots it's definitely one of the better releases but Wild Wild West looked like a DVD release on our TCL 65 inch 4k tv. Hauppauge PVR is messing withe colors a bit. It's one of the better ld releases. Also I think Austin Powers wasn't hurt as much by Hauppauge PVR because of the vibrant colors in that movie. No matter what I capture Austin Powers with it's bound to look pretty good. Hey if you guys have anything that can capture better than non-hd elgato or Hauppauge pvr version 1 then feel free to send me another capture device.

It's really not fair to judge just on screen captures and recordings from an old iphone 6. I would say this about these two releases. I think the sharper colors and sharper picture are on Wild Wild West even if you can't tell that from the pictures I posted.
No way am I saying Austin Powers is a bad release. It is not and if I hadn't had Wild Wild West in my collection then I'd probably give the nod to Austin Powers. However I feel like the really vibrant colors of the Austin Powers is kind of fooling the eyes a bit especially on captures and recordings. Not sure how old you are and if you had experience with CRT sets, red colors bleeding etc, other terms I can't remember right now. But the reason why something like Austin Powers would in the reviews be a 10 out of 10 and nobody would think twice about WWW is that, the colors. NTSC had a hard time working on colors, I don't know the true facts but I know that CRT only had so many colors, 3 and lasers or guns to shoot those colors where newer sets have each pixel shooting those colors or something like that so you can get better color representation on the newer sets. And for something like AP to get that great of an image with such lower quality technology was an achievement at the time. I remember as a kit seeing a camcorder recording that my father did and a relative had a red sweater, looked like crap on grandmas TV but when we got home it looked fine, because we had a S-Video 450 lines of resolution and grandparents only had the cheap older TV with the 220 or whatever it was.

On my 4k 32 inch 1800r curved monitor Pinocchio's revenge's Revenge laserdisc still looks like the best 4:3 laserdisc screen grabs in the screenshot Thread from my perspective. Can you guys think of a better 4:3 movie or do you think Pinocchio's revenge's Revenge is the clear winner? I'm not asking what you think of the movie. I know some people think it's sucks. I personally like the movie and it does have a beautiful nanny in it that shows the goods. .

I'm not sure about bitrate or color differences, but I've captured with the Canopus ADVC-110 and WinDV. And by toggling the switches underneath ADVC-110, I always toggle the 5 switch to Level 0 IRE for capturing Japan LD's and Level 7.5 IRE for US LD's. Maybe you've seen my posts that were done this way. You'll also see that before that, I used Roxio Easy VHS to DVD before it made my PC shut down at random points for no reason! Anyhow, Easy VHS to DVD captures .mpg files of 8,000kb/s, while Canopus ADVC-110 captures 24.4MB/s .avi files.
