There's better out there though. The one circulating is from a 3rd party. But even that one has a higher bitrate than youtube at 1080p. This was so lazy. My inner production geek was SCREECHING when I saw the new upload, it looks even worse than the last upload in some scenes. I deinterlaced the bitmax master and looked decent not weird ghost movement effects or anything. I don’t think there’s a better quality copy of it tbh Julia Volkova #1 stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had an insane budget  we- Everyone has always acted like Bad Romance was shot w a $5 budget... so what is the truth? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting with LoveGame all her videos were shot with extremely high budgets, including high definition camera gear. There are higher quality versions of Bad Romance and the others that they've either lost or don't want to put the work into releasing. My copy of Bad Romance takes almost 3gb on my pc. That's 30x more data than the new youtube version. Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, everything but the special effects shots are in complete HD, in quality much beyond even this somewhere rotting on a decade old server. They didn't put the work into a proper remaster. They took the old youtube version and stretched/filtered it.  Please upload this or tell us where to get it and when you say the visual effects shots aren't in HD do you mean also the first verse dancing scene? That has vfx in each shot (I think) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle 4 Ur Life 5,823 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 as a video and photo enthusiast I love this thread. I'm positive that they only don't want to redo the FHD encode because it would cost money as it would require a professional team and demands high processing power. what they have done here could have been made even through a free browser-based application converter you search on google. it's lazy and cheap. the video was shot with Panavision therefore it can be re-encoded even in 4k I think. it can even be transferred to 76mm and shown in theaters (of course nowadays that would cost almost the same as the video itself). it's just the old and same corporate bs. expose them!

Haralampos 2,062 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 If you took this screenshot from the master that we have, you should first set it in 4:3 and then crop it (black bars), deinterlace and upscale to HD, You have the wrong ratio otherwise.

Haralampos 2,062 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 What bother me is that the director or the production company must have an  HD copy or even Gaga  and what they did is just upscaling the SD master and call it a "remaster" with a fake SD YouTube clip for comparison.
