    A movie releasing company released many150 minutes movies as single movie on dvdr Their video quality was excellent.
    Now this company released those films as 3 movies on one dvd discs. Their video quality became poor.
    They do not release single film on one dvd discs. How we can make dvd one film on one dvd disc from 3 films
    in genuine quality ase earlier when that film was released as one film on fully dvd disc by company.
    Now on dvd disc 450 minutes films are releasing by company. Iwant these compressed films get genuine condition

    To clarify what hech54 is saying is that you can't get better than the source on the dvd itself. You can get the exact quality in a rip from the dvd. But you can't "magically" make it better than the original dvd - especially if this a commercial dvd which it seems like it is.

    I too deliver bad news.

    Information has been discarded, hence the worse quality. It's gone. You can only work with what you have currently from now on.

    You can try things to make it look better like deblocking, grain, color manipulation, sharpening and other filters, particularly if you know some AviSynth. But the lost details will still not return despite any cosmetic upgrades, which will still be subjective at any rate.

    Lost detail determining, or recovery, or similar such inference, without possession of any prior-generation Source, is in the domain of potential future technologies, fractals, science fiction, negative quantizers, etc, but not realistic today.

    My reply was the "English is his second language" version. Think about that then look at what you just typed.
    A short, abrupt reply is often better in this situation.

    You don't have to explain your proclamation, most people will just ignore your content free posts, but to complain that someone else spent the time to help the poster is petulant.

    I had to Google petulant because I'm so stupid.
    I'm hurt. I now have this gripping, pressure-like pain in my gut that....oh wait...it was just gas....never mind.

    "petulant", not "flatulent"
    Though they're not mutually exclusive in this case.

    I won't insult anyone with simplistic, or low-level language - I assume anybody on this forum is bright and resourceful enough to use online tools if it's an ESL issue.

    Sure short posts are great - but I won't use them solely for this reason.

    I had an email conversation once entirely in Swedish with someone. I still helped this person. I speak four languages. Swedish is not one of them.

    Swedish is my native language. Most people in Sweden can speak English or at least understand it (we learn it in school from 3rd grade). I wonder why you wrote in Swedish instead of English? Maybe it was an very old person or maybe a child you were helping?

    nusratjaveid, can you ask the company to get the original source of the video or ask them to release it again with better quality, made from the original source? You should ask this question to the company who made the bad quality releases and explain that nobody wants this kind of bad release...

    Hej!

    Likely he spoke English, but it started because he thought I spoke Swedish at first (for some reason) and just, well, continued that way. He knew later I'm not Swedish speaking, and I was using translators, simple words, etc, but it was working, so English seemed immaterial.

    The Internet has really evolved.

    Also, speaking 4 Euro languages, including English and German, helped with a somewhat "recognizable" structure in Swedish.

    I hear tons in this Forum about bad releases from that area, particularly China and India. I don't think the movie houses there keep much Source. Scarcity of resources? Not sure. Nusratjaveid, may have a similar problem in Pakistan, which borders.

    Well, I see some Chinese DVD compilations that have 8 hours or more on a single layer DVD.
    They do some tricks to squeeze quality (using say 352 x 288 frames) but the quality is still disappointing.
    After a brief viewing I decided to wait till I found a better release.
    But they're very cheap, and that's their selling point.

    Usually you can find the same material at higher quality, at a slightly higher price.

    If this Pakistani (?) company has gone that way it's probably because they felt they were losing market to cheaper competition, quite likely bootlegs. It's a sign of desperation. So pleas to them to improve quality are likely to be fruitless.

    I'm not sure how the movie market works over there, but I assumed, from what I read and even see over here in Toronto among Asian/Southeast Asian movie shops, that that's the de facto way to get many movies in their community - sub-standard productions from even 1st parties and/or bootlegs.

    Then again, a 150min/DvD production, and subsequent further compressed releases, don't sound "1st party/generation" to me.

    I'm just curious why this market, or competition in general, is moving towards even more compressed content - costs? lack of resources? Makes me wonder what reasons create an increased desperation that outweighs a decrease in data storage prices generally.

    The market as a whole isn't going that way, there are probably more high quality bootlegs than super-compressed compilations.

    The low end are competing with home-made copies your friends make and downloads; basically zero cost.
