I regularly rent DVDs from LOVEFILM (£15 a month, I get sent 3 at a time, and I can receive as many I as I can watch and post back) and often I check the entries on this site to see if there's any vehicles missed or if pictures could do with being replaced by higher quality DVD captures. Most of contributors on this site don't seem to get their captures from DVD, instead they seem to be from, shall we say, "less legitimate sources" (nothing wrong with that because everyone's doing it nowadays ) The images are usually reasonable, but DVD is always a bit better.
The question is, do people think it's worth me often replacing captures with DVD ones? I don't mind it doing it, if there aren't too vehicles in a film it doesn't take too long, I admit there's times where I haven't got time to do it or I simply can't be bothered, so I just send the DVD back without taking captures from it. But does anyone feel I'm trying to "put my stamp on things" all the time? Some people have their own way of doing their pages, which is fine (for example I post the a title screen capture in the comments which is shrunken to 160 pixels high, I think it look better than a thumbnail, and perhaps don't want to be always clicking on imageshack thumbnail links). I'll try not to undo anyone's hard work, but sometimes I think it's worth replacing their thumbnails with better ones. And I never delete someone's name from the contributor section.
The last DVD I watched was Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Atom did that film a few months, I don't think there's any vehicles to add but DVD captures might look a bit bette, his are about 640 x 300 mine will be roughly 720x405 (that's what they before I crop away black letterbox borders, although not films have these as much as others). I think film pages should have the best quality images possible, but it's not the end of the world if many have captures from downloads (which rarely seem to be 720x405). Anyway if it's OK I plan to replace the captures this evening, so can people give me some feedback this afternoon (according to British time)? (Personally I always like to hear from antp the most, since he runs this site)
