Thank you so much, but I think that the A/R is wrong: Blu-Ray back cover says “original aspect ratio 1.33” whilst you rip has been made at 1.224. If you watch it and you set your rip at 1.33 you’ll see that the image is more natural (faces, bodies,…).
AR 1.33 with black bars

after black bars removed we get 1.224
i can repost with black bars intact if looks better
I think that the ratio refers to the video frame, black bars not included (as it is in old movies)… if you take your file and simply stretch the frame (in Videolan -> Video -> ratio -> 4:3 you can see that the frame is more natural. If you simply cut the black bar the “horizontally compressed visible video frame” simply stays the way it is. Only my personal opinion though, feel free to decide what you deem best.
ok i added new file with 4:3 fixed Ar
Correct AR with the crops is probably 1.305679012
That’s the same as 1322/1080 x (16/15)
I compared with a DVD and visually that matches.
Easy enough to set it, no need for re-encode.
Thank you for your responsiveness. (Ditto for the addition of the Naked Vengeance VHSrip.)
Does The Bikini Carwash Company 2 have the same issue as well?
part2 default Ar: 5:4
part1 fixed Ar: 4:3
both movies are fine
Teen comedy mixed with beach , babes and bikinis . Cannot forget those days , when we would get carried away into fantasyland just watching these movies on VHS
Thanks for upgrade and Wynorski commentary.
Agreed on the Wynorski commentary, it really makes this package. Even though he says he doesn’t know much about the filming, he does know quite a bit about the people involved, and since, as he says, he was the only one known participant alive and reachable at the time of this blu-ray re-release, he gives us as much info as probably is possible.
Interviewer Heath Holland says the re-release company found a fine print. I sort of wonder what he means. Wynorski repeatedly says it was shot using a 16mm film format. I can see 16mm artifact noise in the ‘background’ but to me the whole thing looks very much like an analogue video transfer, prior to its blu-ray coding, with colour- and lacing image bleeding, and heavy ‘vertical trickling’ of image elements in the ‘foreground’. So it seems there were no ‘real’ prints available by the time of its re-release. They did mess up the ratio between transfers, too; we need to stretch it a bit, horizontally, but that’s easily done.
