File:Du skal ære din hustru (1925).webm

[edit]

Thanks for adding the original version. Btw, I may upload a bit of a better encode of this file, using AV1, like I've been doing for various films on Commons (recently, see File:Glorifying the American Girl (1929) by Millard Webb.webm, File:The Jazz Singer (1927).webm, File:Schuhpalast Pinkus (1916).webm, File:Cyrano de Bergerac (1950).webm, File:Zaza (1923).webm, File:Night of the Living Dead (1968).webm, all (re-)encoded in AV1). I also have the original-quality English copy, so I may combine that with the Danish intertitles (re-edit it, that is) if that improves quality, too. (Edit: looks like re-merging the original intertitles with the better source will improve the file. Incidentally, I will deal with the duplicate-frame problems by figuring out the duplication pattern and setting the proper framerate, which we can do since we're not within the DVD/BD standard — and which I do with some of these other videos.)

@D. Benjamin Miller I've been holding off switching to AV1 because it means the (source) file will be unplayable for Safari users, but you're welcome to do what you think is best. At some point I'd like to get around to adding subtitles for a bunch of these, so if you ever run into subtitle sync issues with reuploads, let me know and I'm happy to help with that.
How much success have you had with cadence correction? I ended up doing that with Nosferatu I think, but when I've looked at doing it with other works, some had unclear pulldown patterns and I got worried it might end up dropping frames. hinnk (talk) 09:37, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For cadence correction: I manually examine the original video to figure out the frame duplication pattern, and then write a script to generate a pattern for shuffling frames using ffmpeg to produce my intermediate file. D. Benjamin Miller (talk) 14:00, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Transformers Discussion

[edit]

I think we're dealing with a 12 year old here...maybe less. I'm trying to be kind, but this one's a challenge! Buffs (talk) 21:42, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Let's please be nice, I imagine I probably wouldn't react well if I came across a comment like this, despite the circumstances. I appreciate how patient you've been with them in the FFD.
I've been trying to think if there's a way to address this that results in something other than a few more frustrating threads like this and then an admin jumping in with a CNH/CIR block. They seem really attached to getting this Draft:Spectra Prime: Rise of Algorithm thing going, maybe if WikiProject Transformers has something going on, they could be persuaded to direct some of this enthusiasm in that direction? hinnk (talk) 09:55, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You've got mail!

Josef von Sternberg portrait

[edit]

On August 15, 2024 you changed the infobox portrait. Not a big issue, but I wondered why. Was the image inadequately verified? 36hourblock (talk) 18:21, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The previous image was deleted as replaceable non-free use after Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2024 August 1#File:Josef von Sternberg.jpg. I moved one of the images from the article body into the infobox to replace it. hinnk (talk) 20:16, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The image that was posted by you was reported as made in 1931: less than 95 years. Is the deleted image eligible to be reestablished on the same basis? The existing image lists the following disclaimer:

Public domain This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1930 and 1963, and although there may or may not have been a copyright notice, the copyright was not renewed. For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart and the copyright renewal logs.

Does posting this disclaimer provide the image with "free" rather than a "non-free" status?--36hourblock (talk) 17:53, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a disclaimer. It's a licensing tag that is supposed to correctly describe the copyright status of an image. Given that File:Josef von Sternberg.jpg has been deleted, I no longer have any ability to see the origin of the image, so I can't speak to whether {{PD-US-not renewed}} would apply, although the uploader apparently didn't think it did. hinnk (talk) 20:36, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your input, Hinnk. As always on these copyright issues, one is reminded of the response to travelers asking directions of a New England farmer: "You can't get there from here." https://andywoodruff.com/blog/you-cant-get-there-from-here/ --36hourblock (talk) 16:29, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
