out of curiousity, i compared the dsr with the hdtv pretty closely. what it looks like is some fairly creative editing on the part of abc. i am just assuming they did this because ad time is more expensive on abc, and they wanted to maximize their revenue. in any case, both versions were encoded at 24fps. and up until about 5:14 they track exactly (right where the directed by appears in the scene in adam baylin\'s study). at this point, the dsr (abc family) and hdtv (abc) start falling out of sync. by the end of the scene in the study, the dsr is at 6:32.36 and the hdtv is at 6:26.80 - about 5.5 seconds difference. if it keeps up the pace of this over the remaining almost 38 minutes of the dsr version, the hdtv version should be 2:55 shorter than the dsr version. in fact, the hdtv is only about 1:50 shorter than the dsr version (after cutting them to the exact same start and end points). they could acheive this by (1) subtly speeding up the video in the hdtv version (a small enough shift to go unnoticed) and (2) making slightly faster cuts on some scenes. on average they would only have to trim about 2.9 seconds per minute of tape to do this - less if they did speed the tape up slightly. a 2.5% speed up would account for about 57 seconds of the deficit, and then they would only have to cut a second and a half out of every minute (on average). obviously, this has to be done where there is no dialog, and the background soundtrack would have to be shifted also. |

in conclusion : it s kinda amazing what you can do to speed up a part of an episode without altering it. |

i figure that if you like the quality of a hdtv rip, a couple of minutes probably isn't a huge deal! i mean when you think about it, they do heaps of cutting of scenes in these shows to fit them into 44 mins or whatever anyway...(as 'deleted scenes' extras on dvd box sets demonstrate!). thanks for the hdtv rip at any rate! |
