I was wondering whether anyone knows of a way to measure the exact aspect ratio of a DVD.
I have noticed on some DVD info pages here & on āA Fistful Of DVDsā that some people have put the aspect ratio of a film that - for example - states on the sleeve that it is 2.35:1, as actually being 2.40:1.
???
hm well you could measure it with a screenshot, or I guess some video editing programs tell you the aspect ratioā¦
I found out that itās worked out by dividing the width by the height.
Canāt believe I didnāt think of thatā¦ 
Iāve never understood it either ā¦ until now youāve said that.
Seems bloody obvious now :o - duh!!

Hate it when DVD sleeves have incorrect information on them.
[quote=āRomaine Fielding, post:20, topic:81ā]Final cut? Donāt know how to make it shorter than this:
Confederate corporal John Warner deserts his army on the eve of battle . He has received word that his woman, the daughter of the powerful Don Pedro Sandoval, has given birth to a son but has fallen gravely ill. Sandoval had not allowed his daughter and Warner to marry. Warner must reach her to save her honor and more. Warner is captured as a deserter but escapes with two others. When they reach his home they find the border town stricken with cholera. Warner confronts Sandoval but finds that the woman has died before he could arrive. Each man blames the other for her death. Out of respect for his daughterās memory Sandoval allows Warner to leave but banishes him along with the infant. The fear of cholera has spread and Warner can get no assistance for his newborn and it perishes. Warner undergoes a transformation from a simple and hopeful man to one who is driven and deranged in his pursuit of revenge. He assembles a gang of cutthroats that raid and pillage throughout. As Warner and Sandoval have their final showdown they fall into a pen holding a raging bull. Along with the bull, the fight becomes a three way confrontation that only two survive. The last act takes place with the surviving gang members at the center of a bull fighting corrida in the ultimate expression of the Spaghetti western motif of the circular duel as final confrontation. Containing a number of brutal scenes (including one in which a man is drowned in a bucket of milk) this film takes the revenge theme so common to Spaghettis to its fullest and darkest conclusions.[/quote]
My god, I missed all your posts here, Romaine!
And I promised you to give some feedback ā¦
Iām very sorry about this
Have already posted (or loaded up) some other synopses?
I canāt make a link to the film page of the following three films, from the film review of Pistoleros:
I Giorni dellāira
Il Grande silenzio
Un Minuto per pregare, un istante per morire
(Iāve checked the spelling a few times already)
Other links do work, so i donāt capisco
well, the day of angerās site is āGiorni dellāira, Iā (just as you would alphabetically list the matrix as āMatrix, Theā), so the link would have to look that way, too. [[Gioni dellāira, I|Day of Anger]] for example, the first part being the article title, the second what you would want it to look like

If it helps, whenever I make links to pages I always open another tab with the page concerned on it. Then copy and paste from the title of that page. That way, I always know it is exactly as it should be. (Spelling, lower/upper case etc)
Good idea
I have done most film reviews now (except, as far as yours are concerned, Yankee and Provvidenza - still looking for good images)
I have figured out myself a lot of things (I think), but if I get in trouble, Iāll let you know
I still have to do some translations so the whole section is English friendly
@ Sebastian, lode or any other expert
Can you tell me how to upload a review?
I have been uploading pictures and editing existing files, and thatās no longer a problem
I have found ānew pageā - I suppose that is the right page - with the two bars, but i donāt know how to handle exactly
there are two easy ways how to create a new page:
-
type it into the address bar of your browser, example: http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Title_of_your_page
-
Search for it (type āTitle of your pageā into the search bar), and then it gives you the option to ācreate the pageā.
then youāll see an empty field (like posting here) and you just put your text in, format it, and then hit submit/save. voila. very easy, canāt break anything
Thanks
Iāll be entering most of my reviews that are still in the forum in the database next week
The server problems are solved, now I have another one:
I cannot create a page āGianni Garkoā
The following two options donāt work, both lead me to an existing page āCategory:Gianni Garkoā :

Removed the redirection, now itās an empty page and you can fill it with content
Just in case ā¦ how did you remove it?
When you are redirected, a small text āredirected from [insert the page name]ā appears behind the page title. Just use the link in that text and you will access the redirection page and be able to remove the āobstacleā
bingo
