Screen caps - ESB

Hey there,
These are taken from the 1080P HD version of both 6 movies that were broadcasted on movie network.

Hi Bigturc,

Are you sure that they were broadcast in 1080p (progressive) and not 1080i (interlaced) as they have been broadcast everwhere else worldwide?

I thought the bandwidth required for a 1080 Progressive image (ie. all 1080 lines at once) would be unfeasible for satellite / cable broadcast?

I'd be happy to be proved wrong though :)

Incidentally, ITV HD here in the UK is currently showing the OT in what appears to be 16:9 HD *ie. no black bars from the original cinema aspect ratio) and the HD image fills a 16:9 screen.
Would be great if a UK member had the necessary hardware (Freesat HD receiver and powerful computer) to screencap some of these images) :love

If it's 1080i *without* the black bars top 'n' bottom, then the detail of individual props/costumes would be at it's highest available so far?

Cheers,
John

True enough John,
Might have been a 1080i version, and not P .. I'd agree the bandwidth would probably be more than is available.

As you say, the res of the movies I have are something like 1900x800 .. not quite exactly 16:9. So I wonder if your version that fits a widescreen tv has been edited thus missing frame width?
 
Oh Bigturc,
thank you so much, thats it :love
That is exactly what i'm searching for :thumbsup

thanks
Andre
 
Thanks guys, this takes a lot of time but seeing it helps people here will certainly keeps these threads rolling for some more time ...
 
Your caps are awesome. I would like one more thing. Vader entering Echo Base. One of the few times you see him out in the enviroment.
 
these shots would be great to print on photo paper and send for autographs to James Earl Jones (voice of Vader), Dave Prowse (Vader) and Richard Bonehill (snowtrooper) :thumbsup
 
Thank you Bigturc.Have you added anything to your ROTJ pages yet? I'd like to see some caps of the ROTJ duel. It's after Han says I've got an idea. A couple of them please.
 
Bigturc

Just a quick note to say "Thanks" for taking the time and effort to do these ANH/ESB/ROTJ threads.

It always pleases me to see people do stuff "for the good of the hobby" like this

Cheers

Among all others, you are truly one who gave without asking .. In my book, it's guys like you who inspire me to take some of my own time for others.

Cheers back to you mate! ;)
 
My pleasure!

There's one grab I'd be interested in from ESB - its the section in the Ugnauts trash area where Chewy finds 3PO. There's a shot of a painted TIE Pilot helmet. If you could do that at some point I'd be most grateful.

Cheers

How about a few good clear shots of Lando's wrist communicator watch ?

(when he's about to signal Lobot while taking Leia and Chewy to Vaders ship).
