| | Posted: | | | | Just a general question about the website http://www.moviesgallery.eu/index.php?
When a user downloads all the photos in an album via the Zip File option does it count as a 'Hit' on each photo in that album or not?
Also, why is it that some screen-caps have black borders and some don't? |

| | Posted: | | | | DVDs are standard definition and have a video output size of 4:3.
Blu-rays are high definition and have a video output size of 16:9.
If the original film or TV source does not fit into those aspects, black bars will be added to the top or sides to fill those output ratios.
Films with a wider aspect than 16:9 will add black bars to the top and bottom of the image. Sometimes the black bars will be on the film source transfer; other times the black bars will be generated by the player.
Shows with an aspect width less than 16:9 will need black bars on the left and right of the image to fill out the 16:9 area of the screen. Some consumers prefer to set their players or TV to stretch those out of aspect in order to fill the screen completely and reduce the chances of monitor burn-in of the side bars, but the image will look horizontally stretched fat.
DVDs can also employ an anamorphic source transfer with a stretched picture to achieve higher resoution, which will be corrected to the correct aspect by the DVD player.
There are many more articles available regarding all this. | | | | Last edited: by Doombear |

There are many more articles available regarding all this. I know all of that already, I was talking about the screen caps found of that site. Fairly sure I saw some screen caps on there that was for films with an aspect ratio wider that 16:9 (1.78). For example, Catch Me If You Can, the dvd and the blu-ray both list a 1.85 aspect ratio, But the screen caps from that site has no black bars. Even a 1.85 aspect ration film would have small black bars, right?? Same with Dead Poets Society. |

Same with Dead Poets Society. Yes, that's a mystery. I use Power DVD and irfanview for my capture and conversions. Dead Poets Society wasn't one of the movies I contributed, so not sure what other method of capture was being used. |

| | Posted: | | | | How many would be in favor of increasing the photos on that site to 11? The additional screencap would be of the Movie Title. For example. Smallfoot  |

I tested and zip file downloads of an album do not increase the hit count on any photo. I also believe only admins can see the hit counts. |
