![]() ![]() NOTE: I just read that the curvature of a Cinerama screen was 147 degrees. Perhaps the Smilebox version looks sharper because the letterboxing is so extreme (2.89:1 aspect ratio!) that it has reduced the resolution compared to the Smilebox version (which I believe is meant to be 2.59:1, even though it is difficult to actually measure it? This is just my very uninformed guess. Thank you very much for your reply (and your email). One thing that's bothering me is when I compare the letterbox original to the smiley ( in the link page given), I find the smiley image sides are sharper than in original. Then tweaking parameters will take a little time.May not get perfect fit but almost near fit. Since I am busy working on another project it will be a week before I modify debarrel for improved interpolation. It lets upload content from your PC, Facebook or iPhone (Smilebox app for iPhone is required). In the upper left corner click Get photos and videos. The parameters need to be further tweaked. Follow the steps below to create your own collage with Smilebox: On the welcome board choose Browse by format, then Collages. There are still some issues.The quality of interpolation in debarrel needs to be improved. Here are some screen captures from DVDBeaver showing the difference between the letterboxed and smileboxed versions:Ĭode: imagereader("D:\images\letterbox.jpg", end = 20).converttoRGB32()ĭeBarrel(im1,a = 0.00005, b = 0.0005, c = 0.20,pin = false)The above gave a near fit to what you desired. I'm not quite ready to make the leap to blu-ray at this stage (I'd need to buy a new TV, because my HD TV is so old it does 1080i, but not 1080p) My question is, how would I go about converting the entire DVD from Letterboxed widescreen to Smilebox in order to get the simulated curved look of the blu-ray version?Ĭan I use some blu-ray captures as like a 'template' so I know what degree to distort the image? How do I actually use AviSynth to distort the image in this way?Īny help in achieving this would be appreciated. It has only been released in an extremely wide 2.89:1 letterboxed version. Unfortunately they have not released a Smilebox version on regular (standard definition) DVD. Warner Bros have made a great new transfer of this film, and on blu-ray have presented it in both regular letterboxed widescreen, but also Smilebox, which is a distorted format designed to simulate the curvature of a Cinerama screen. For an exhaustive history of Cinerama, see here. It was then projected using three projectors on a deeply curved screen. ![]() ![]() This film was photographed in a format called Cinerama, which was filmed using three cameras to create an extremely widescreen and wide-angle image. Recently the film How the West Was Won (1962) has been reissued on DVD. ![]()
