Time for some HD webms

They also cropped a bunch from the sides it seems.

the 16:9 had more image on the sides than the DVD, it was not just cropped
the new web versions/blu-ray is 4:3 again, with a little bit more image than the DVD on top, bottom, and sides

THERES 30000 WEBMS HERE

I mean, is more than a little cropped off the sides. Half her arm is missing. Isn't there an aspect ratio they couldn't released it in that would've allowed them to keep the full image on both the top/bottom and the sides?

They can, but they would have to go through all the scenes to crop out things that are not supposed to be seen, like the crew, the sets, etc. A little of that stuff already lurks into the image in the 16:9 version. Also, purists would consider it a change to the show as it was aired.
I like the 16:9, a lot of scenes look better in it, the black levels aren't too dark and will only update webms to the new version when I consider it an improvement. One thing they did improve is the removal of film dust and scratches so even stock footage is squeaky clean.

>One thing they did improve is the removal of film dust and scratches so even stock footage is squeaky clean.
It was shot on film wasn't it? If so it's removal isn't a good thing. No wonder the picture look off color and detail wise. Oh god, this was done by WHV wasn't it? For some reason I thought WA were doing it, there goes any hope I had for it. WHV are notorious for just DVNR'ing stuff to death.

>its another video dork thread

I'm not talking about film noise. The DC Universe version had noise removal but the iTunes version which has higher framerate already shows some noise.
I'm talking about the white/black dots that appear on the image and sometimes shit it up when it's too much. They have been removing those from films for decades.

I'll believe that's all they removed when I see it with my own eyes. Have you forgotten the terrible job they did with Batman TAS and Batman Beyond? WHV is the Disney of WB in terms of restorations.

Cartoons suffer like that
WHV did Batman '66 and it has film noise, and only dust and scratches removed

WHYYYY does this keep happening

How hard it is to take a film reel and just scan it so the entire frame is visible

Most old shows were shot with 4:3 in mind so stuff like this ends up happening if you show it all
But it is a dilemma, because in my opinion the framing of 16:9 is better 9 out of 10 times, even if you lose image at the top and bottom.

That has NOTHING to do with aspect ratios.
That is 100% to blame on the Director of Photography.
Holy shit that's worse than the Starbucks cups in GoT

it has to do with both
the director of photography framed the scene knowing it would be cropped down to 4:3, and nobody had the vision to think maybe TVs would change in the future

>Cartoons suffer like that
What? You have to actively be terrible to do what they did to TAS and BB. It's just that their cheap and easy DVNR'ing is more apparent on animated things.

That's actually some pretty good stunt work.

Also those things must be duct taped in there.

Incorrect, relatively speaking.

Shows were shot in 4:3 because that's how they were screened on television. Widescreen didn't exist for consumer consumption until the 80s and 90s. Before then, widescreen was limited to theaters (and thus considered an advantage) while televisions were limited to the standard ratio.

When it came time for television studios to update to 16:9 standards, that's when they began shooting for both widescreen and "fullscreen" formats. You can primarily find this in cartoons from the late 2000s and early 2010s; they aired in 4:3 but can be found nowadays in HD in their original, often rarely-seen widescreen formats.

If you want another example, look up the controversies of "The Simpsons" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" being converted from SD/4:3 to HD/16:9.
