@@intheblink The BFI disc has a wonderful score. What Peter Jackson did is not restoration. I'm not a fan, and will leave it at that.

A lot of their releases have issues, not just Nosferatu.

@@AwesomeTitanic Good to know.

Nope, just manually moving the eyes up and down until there was minimal vertical parallax

@@nickmccall1536 oh wow interesting. Are there a lot of shots in the movie that are unfixable?

Not a lot. A few effects shots where nothing really matches, but they're similar to the opening titles, in which you have to choose what elements to align. One or two effects shots in the climax are out of sync by a frame. The lenses they used mean that it will never have perfect 3D, but it's pretty good for the most part.

I spoke with someone who was a Nosferatu video expert and he told me the 100th Anniversary Edition was sourced from a 16mm print of Nosferatu. In other words, you're STILL better off getting a Region B release -- either the BFI or Eureka Blu ray. Eventually, I'll probably get both. I ordered the Eureka but it takes like 2 weeks to get it because it's import. As far as region-free goes, either get a new Blu ray player or software that supports Region B decoding. They're out there but you have to pay for them.

@@AvengerII Thanks for the reply, and the information!

There is no best. While the FWMS version has better source material, both it and the Photoplay version suffer from interpolated frames and frozen temporal cloning. The digital restoration work on both is pretty rotten and overdone. All the BDs have motion problems, since the film is transferred at 18fps but encoded at 24fps. However, the Bernard score is truly wonderful and really makes the movie come to life. 220-Electronics has region-free BD players for as low as $100. That's the price of a few new BDs.

@@nickmccall1536 Wow I had never heard of this site before, thank you I will!

The black and white versions are from safety films are or later dupes/public domain. The original release of Nosferatu had tinted footage and most of the later restorations have this.

So you are fine with Orlok walking in broad daylight?

The Eureka release or BFI Blu rays are better. The edits are different, though. They've discovered and added new footage since the early 2000s to later DVD and Blu ray releases. the BFI Blu ray is based on a mid-1990s restoration but probably has the better score. The score on the BFI Blu ray was created by the same composer who worked on the Hammer Dracula movies. The Eureka Blu ray release has an edit that Kino used as well but Kino screwed up their Blu ray release. The earlier pre-2010 Kino DVDs are better than the Blu ray and current edition DVDs of Kino. The earlier Kino DVDs are out of print. The 2-disc Ultimate Edition (2007) of Kino is more expensive. The better Blu rays are still the British editions.

Photoplay/BFI because it has the James Bernard's score

No. I no longer have the set, but I spot-checked Kino's German disc, and it looked ok, if not as nice an encode as Eureka's. Its shortcomings didn't smack me in the face like the English disc did.

When projected from film prints, the frame rates of all silents are completely smooth.

@@nickmccall1536 But it's not being projected from a film print here, as it's been upgraded to a disc, so the frame rate issues are still acceptable!

You can't, it's hard-encoded into the video. I had to use some scripts and programs to remove the bad frames and output new files

It's silent. The movie is public domain, but the Gaylord Carter recording is still under copyright.

I have seen many silents, including some of these, in 35mm. They do not stutter. Furthermore, I have seen hand-cranked 35mm presentations, and they don't stutter, either. If a silent has stuttering motion, then the presentation is broken.

@@Oliver-sb1tf The laserdisc is actually 1.85:1, which is the original and intended ratio. The original negative was 1.66:1, which is more of an open matte.

Yes

They obviously did and fortunately they took their time with it unlike her marriage to Danny. You know what they say, a rushed marriage is always doomed to turn out badly.

@@hunterolaughlin 😃

4k UHD Bluray will do it.

It's a movie, it's not going to 100% spot-on with historical accuracy.

@@dakotagere8358 Accurate and believable are two separate issues.

Who are you, CinemaSins?

Yes. The movie is public domain; the Gaylord Carter score is not.

@@nickmccall1536 Ok, fair enough. Thanks for replying.

@@Myself23512 Thanks, unfortunately that isn't as good picture quality as this one though.

SEB1991SEB Perhaps you could play them both at the same time. That way, you can see the good picture and here the good music. It really isn’t the same without the music.

@@Myself23512 Yeah I guess I could try that, it'd be tough to play them at the same time though so the music is synchronised properly. But I guess it'd be ok. It's just annoying that we have to resort to such measures to get around a 97 year old copyright.

Did you check that 60fps is enabled and that your browser can run UA-cam at 60fps? If they're not, then the video gets collapsed to 30fps, so you wouldn't see much, if any, difference. UA-cam also has a tendency to drop frames and micro-stutter. The download links I put in the description are frame-accurate and have side-by-side comparisons. You should definitely see the difference in "The Black Pirate," which is the worst of the bunch.

All the settings are right. And playing the video at 1/4 speed I can clearly see that there are repeated frames. But at normal playback speed the difference is literally invisible to me. I wouldn't be able to pick which footage has the repeated frames if my life depended on it and it makes me worry something's wrong with my vision.

The DVD is made from a print and has more accurate colors. The BD looks entirely re-colored. Movies from the 90s have vibrant realistic colors. This tendency to dull and tint is a recent trend

That's a great point. I think that the Blu Ray version is mostly likely sourced from the original files, since alot of the film was inked and painted on the computer. It's also worth noting that at 3:34, the end credit layout has slightly been adjusted and the Walt Disney Records section is retyped. Sorry to be a nerd, but I find opinions on Blu Rays and DVDs interesting.....

Honestly my main beef with this Blu Ray is that it has to share a disc with its piece of shit sequel.

Dvd is better and has the original colors.

​@@katethemikufan9109 don't apologize for being a nerd man. (or woman) Only nerds would watch this. (no offense to who made this) There's a reason i'm reading your comment.

At the time I made this video, only 20% of helicopters were tracked, so the number of helicopters was grossly underrepresented. Next, helicopters flying to or from EMS are relatively few, and they fly much higher than most. Police helicopters almost always fly below 500ft above ground level, low enough to wake the dead. What little evidence of effectiveness of police helicopters there is shows that any benefit is meager, and there is no reason that they can't get better binoculars and do their joyriding at a higher altitude.

Well, I happen to be very familiar with the volume of EMS helicopter operations. In most major Metro areas the majority of helicopter traffic are EMS flights. As far as Law Enforcement operations, most major Metropolitan communities have less than 8 helicopters (and that is a lot) and rarely keep more than two or three airborne at any given time. I can't speak to the efficacy they provide to law enforcement operations but I suspect that it is significant because helicopters are very expensive to purchase, maintain and insure. If they weren't effective, I doubt most agencies would invest the capital into their use.

+Douglas Hensley LAPD has 18, more than any other police force in the world. The tracking briefly included flight IDs. In the middle of the night, they were almost all police.

Okay so, lets say at night they keep six aircraft airborne at night every night (which I find unlikely). Los Angeles is about 460 square miles. that is 1 helicopter for every 76 square miles of Los Angeles. Again, not too congested in my humble opinion. Besides that, if they are adding to the ability for your police to keep you and your family safe then that might just be a price to pay for your safety and piece of mind. Otherwise, elect council members who will de-fund the aviation department of the police deparment (at your own peril)

How do you know they were police ID's anyway? Police and EMS operators have "discreet" transponder "squawk" codes that are generally not published for obvious reasons.
