Re: NItrateville Nerdumb Slapping Dept: Trailer: Charley Chase at Hal Roach The Late Silents 1927

The 75% of the time refers entirely on our view of Bitrate. I have not so good eyesight and need to use a LARGE TV for my viewings. Here is a link that nicely sums up why why high bitrate is so important to me: https://ottverse.com/bitrate-vs-resolution-video-streaming-compression/ In the link the p...

Re: NItrateville Nerdumb Slapping Dept: Trailer: Charley Chase at Hal Roach The Late Silents 1927

Before I donate I'm seeking opinions on his past restorations efforts. I am especially interested in NON slow fr...
