Your screenshots are set to 4:3

It appears that your screenshots are squashed. Make sure that your media player is set to 16:9 in order for your caps to appear in the correct aspect ratio. Thanks. --Ben41 10:02, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Good work, but please no png's

Good work on changing your screenshots, but please upload them as JPG's only. PNG's, while sharper, cause the servers to slow down. You can use a program like Fast Stone Image Viewer to convert your PNG's to JPG's as well as renaming them and cropping the black bars if necessary. Thanks. --Ben41 06:16, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Sands of Iwo Jima

Not all of the marines have M1 Garands. There are more guns in that movie than you think. I wouldn't think that marines would only be armed with just M1 Garands so I suggest you look into that movie again and try to find more. - Kenny99 18:42, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Band of Brothers screenshots

We're getting to the point of too many screenshots for "Band of Brothers" (There are now over 40 screenshots for the M1 Garand alone!). Please try to limit any future screenshots to either featuring a prominent actor in the series or to point out a particular feature of a weapon. --Ben41 06:41, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

To Hell and Back

Please use other coding for images other than by what weapon is in the photo. Also there is no need to replace every photo on the page unless yours are vastly superior to those already up. Then just replace instead of deleting and changing the entire page to fit your needs. --phoenixent 00:19, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Read the rules regarding IMFDB screenshot size

Kenny99 changed it back, but you undid my correction to your screenshot size. At 800px they are too big, perhaps not for some systems set up for gaming, but to most standard monitor screen settings, which is why IMFDB rules state that if full screen shots, then they are 500px wide and widescreen, they are 600px wide. Kenny99 was correct and he noted the rule about IMFDB screen shot sizes. MoviePropMaster2008 07:33, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Letters from Iwo Jima Your screenshots are set to 4:3

It appears that your screenshots are squashed again. Make sure that your media player is set to 16:9 and reupload in the correct aspect ratio. Thanks. --Ben41 08:10, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Categories and alphabetical order

Good work on the The Young Lions page, but be sure to add the categories at the bottom when you start the page. Otherwise you have an orphan page. I went and added them. Also I changed the title. If the title starts with The then move it to the back of the title. A couple years ago one of the original mods had to edit hundreds of titles that began with The. I also made that change. --Jcordell 13:51, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

NICE page on Days of Glory

But being a film that most IMFDB users are not familiar with, how about a brief summary about the film at the top of the page?MoviePropMaster2008

WOW, that sounds really interesting!!!!! :) :) I will definitely have to track down a copy now and check it out :) MoviePropMaster2008 00:55, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Please adhere to the rules regarding excessive number of screenshots

On Kokoda, you have way too many shots of the same firearm. Please cut them down or a MOD will do it for you. Also if you cannot convert your previous PNGs to JPEGs, again, a mod will do it for you. Great work so far, but please read the rules of IMFDB, there may be some small details you may have missed. MoviePropMaster2008

Your Anzac Screenshots are set to 4:3, do you need help with this issue?

this is not the first time an IMFDB member has pointed out that your screenshots are squashed. If you need help, please ask for it. If not then we must assume that you like it that way, however, aesthetically it blows. MoviePropMaster2008

Sorry. Let me try again, so your ORIGINAL COPY apparently is in 4:3. Previously I think you were squishing 16:9 images to 4:3 into a vertical squish. Now the OPPOSITE is happening. Since the original is 4:3 by setting your settings to 16:9 all you're doing is stretching and distorting the image so that it looks SQUASHED (WIDE versus TALL). Either way it looks bad. If your original copy is in 4:3 (which most TV shows are and this was an Aussie TV series) then keep the aspect ratio to 4:3. You should match the aspect ratio to the ratio of the film you're screencapping. Now I sometimes clip 4:3 images to 'letterbox it' to make it look a little better but that's up to you if you want to do that. MoviePropMaster2008 04:00, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

If your video looks like a square, then it's 4:3. If it's more like a rectangle, then it's 16:9. But make sure you crop out any black bars. --Ben41 01:25, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
