Appreciate some of your posts on there, I've given ya a special mention on the 'Talk' section for that page. Anything that improves what I could have only hoped to be a decently acceptable first page. I was surprised to not see it on the site though, I enjoy the film quite a bit.

== Screencapping ==
== AR ID ==


Just wondering how you are screencapping your movies?  Are you just using a screengrab off your monitor?  You may want to use VLC player to get better results.   Also, don't forget to cut off the black bars and make sure your aspect ratio is set to 16:9 widescreen. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 10:51, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I'm pretty sure those are flashpaper guns. In the top image, that carbine is actually missing a mag release. That's odd, considering all the other details that were molded in. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 07:25, 15 September 2015 (EDT)


Hmmm... you're right. I'm gonna use the VLC player from now on... and cut the black bars properly.. [[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 12:31, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

==BTW, PNGS are not allowed==
== Mosin Nagan Obrez Image ==
BTW, on Feast all the screenshots uploaded were PNG files.  Sorry, but only Jpegs are allowed (check the rules).  PNG images will be deleted/replaced.  If you have any difficulty converting them, please let us know.  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 09:07, 7 May 2010 (UTC)


==Hi==
The version of Mosin-Nagan-obrez.jpg that you uploaded yesterday looks more like a photoshopped image than a photo of a real gun. I think that a real photo would be better. If you don't mind, I'll revert the image to previous version. [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 11:49, 6 November 2015 (EST)
Hi--[[User:Mpe2010|Mpe2010]] 20:42, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 
Sorry but i am not Finnish. I am from Wyoming, USA and am doing fine. I have pretty limited experience with handguns but i like most Rugers, Berettas, and i sort of like glocks. My favorite handgun round is either 9mm or .40.--[[User:Mpe2010|Mpe2010]] 20:43, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 
I have had a very limited experience with 1911s. I believe i have only shot one once. I would like to own one someday, if only they were not so darn expensive.
 
==Okay some RULES for the I Robot page==
If you replace my screencaps, they must adhere to the rules.  No PNGS, no Black Bars, they MUST be better quality or away they go.  I recommend the same frame or similar frames, but if you get a better angle, by all means do it.  DON'T dump tons of questionable screenshots in the same section.  I am NOT one of those members who like tons of screencaps on a section unless there are reasons for it.  Multiple shots ONLY if you get better angles on the gun or showcase different characters firing or holding the gun.  Or if there is a continuity break.  Thanks.  I look forward to seeing your edits.  Per Stantheman's comments, I will do a little cleanup on the alignments.

== Adding films for feature article ( I Robot) ==
 
When adding films for the front page featured article, make sure you rewrite the captions for the screenshots indicating what weapon was used and in what movie.  For examples, take a look at the [[Template_talk:FeaturedArticle]] page.  --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 01:23, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 
== A-Team 2010 ==
 
I don't where you got these caps from, but the DVD is not out until Dec. 11, 2010, so please do NOT put these up on the page or they will be deleted.  --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 00:44, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 
==The A-Team screencaps==
Thanks for the heads up.  We technically don't have to delete them, but I'm kinda torn on this.  Ben41 is erring on the side of caution.  But  you can ask him not to delete them.  I surely won't delete anything.  I have no problem making them invisible until the official release date.  '''But Ben41 may have a point.'''  If any studio lawyer looks at the page and SEES the date of the uploading of the image and it is weeks before the U.S. release date (and we are a U.S. based site) he might get all annoyed at us.  They may not think or care about other countries' release dates.  I think the only time we allow that is if the movie was NEVER released in the U.S. But that is rare.  I think that is the reason other Mods desire to be safe and delete stuff.  If that is a concern for other Mods, I cannot argue with that logic.  Keep the files safe on your Hard drive and then we can fix up the page after the U.S> release date. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:31, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

==The Way of the Gun==

[[Image:TWOTG-00081.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]
No.. no those pics look great! I have it on Blu-Ray now but had no way to cap it. So the screencaps I added were from the regular dvd. Need to add it to the feature article now. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 21:06, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 
==From Dusk till Dawn==
God man you're going to redo all my images. I'm glad you did on From Dusk till Dawn. :) The 1911 used  Tarantino had me stumped on the manufacturer, despite close ups I never could tell because of the image quality. But when you re-uploaded this one I was able to figure it out. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 23:59, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

[[Image:Norinco M1911A1.jpg|thumb|450px|none|Norinco M1911A1 with nickel finish - .45 ACP]]
:I had planned on redoing all the shotgun screenshots when I redid the others, but got distracted and went on to something else. So no biggie now that you're doing them. Tarantino often ends up going with the lower end 1911s, he used a Rock Island in [[Planet Terror]]. From what I read those Norinco's are said to great copies. They used extremely hard steel. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 00:23, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
::I didn't think to look where you're from. I guess where you're at you have slim pickens when it comes to firearm choice. They think we're crazy here too for owning a gun or wanting to. I personally haven't handled a Norinco, they got banned from importation just after a few years. They come up for sale every so often usually the $500 range. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 01:07, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

==RE: screencaping==
I usually screencap with SnagIt, but now I use Snipping Tool, a software that comes with Window 7. I use Window Media Player to play most of my movies and sometimes KMPlayer if I want to play HD content. I mostly screencap from DVDs unless I have a Blu-Ray or HD digital copy (only available with Blu-Ray dvds). Sometimes, Window Media Player ruins my screencaping so I use KMPlayer. For HD stuff, I use the KMPlayer and leave it unmodified. Also, the way to screencap depends on the program you use. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 21:06, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
:I dragged the sides of the media player I'm using to make it larger. The reason why I use other players rather than a VLC is because the VLC usually goes blank even though the file I open up is DVD file. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 21:29, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
::Thanks for the help. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 21:47, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 
== Screencapping 2 ==
 
What are you using to screencap your films?  Your recent Machete file looks a bit blocky.  You may want to try Fast Stone Image Viewer.  --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]]
 
I've found that VLC screencaps saved directly as JPG's tend to be of inferior quality.  That's why I save them as PNG's first and then convert them with Fast Stone to JPG.  As for tweaking the image, you can do that in VLC by clicking on "Tools", going to "Effects and Filters", then to "Video Effects".  Image Adjust should allow you to adjust the image.
 
--[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 07:42, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 
 
Your screencaps do look a lot better.  As for deletions, just let me know which ones.  --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 08:29, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 
== I've deleted screenshots for Takers. ==
 
Thanks for informing me and they've been deleted.  --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 19:38, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
 
==Killshot 1911s==
It looks like they used three different 1911s. Because your screenshots are so good, the slide markings are easy to read. The third screencap I'm not 100% sure though. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 23:44, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

==KS Synthetic stock 870==
It could be a Smith & Wesson 3000 Shotgun, they are a close copy of the Rem 870. But the forend style and that fact that it doesn't overlap the barrel loop behind the mag tube. Makes me think it's a Smith. It could be an aftermarket forend. But I've only seen that particular style on the Smiths.

==Dark Blue==
Great work on the page! It's really shaping up. The unknown 1911, I would just put in the Colt Government section. While it's your page since you're doing most of the work. Generally I put the main actors standard sidearms first. Since that's what most people will be curious about when checking out the page.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 17:05, 14 April 2011 (CDT)
 
==The Feast==
It appears they have a continuity error, with the shotgun used. The shotgun used by Eric Dane is an 870. But the one used by I guess it's his wife, the trigger guard and furniture is different. The trigger guard resembles the Winchester 1200/1300 the most, but the pin locations on the receiver are different. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 07:43, 15 April 2011 (CDT)
[[Image:12gaugeRecogGuide01.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|From top to bottom: Remington 870 new model, Winchester Model 1300, Mossberg 500.  Note: the Remington 870s have changed their trigger groups, but haven't changed the name.  Please note the difference between the 870s of the 1970s-1990s and now.]]
[[Image:Feast870_3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Heroine shooting through a barred window.]]
[[Image:Feast870_4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Close up of the trigger guard]]
:While the pin location matches Remington, the actual pins don't look like Remington's (I guess they could be swapped) The serial number style isn't Remington either. (I have two 870s, but no Winchesters or any others to compare them with.) It could be a foreign made shotgun. A lot of times they are kind of a mix of several American shotguns. I'll look at the older versions of the page and see if I can delete the pngs that way. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 16:38, 19 April 2011 (CDT)
::No biggie man. Yeah some more screenshots would help narrow it down. It could be some sort of 870 copy. Post the images on the Feast talk page maybe someone figure it out. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 21:13, 16 June 2011 (CDT)
 
== killer elite ==
 
Sorry about that.  Just too cool to pass up.  Glad they used the 92SB instead of 92F since it takes place in the early 1980's. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 22:03, 27 June 2011 (CDT)
 
== Takers  ==
 
I know the gun that Paul Walker uses in Takers. It is a Wilson Combat Professional Compact
BTW:Iknow this because the Wilson Combat symbol is on the grips and the reverse two tone
is not avalible for any other 1911 commander
 
Thanks.An image of the gun is on WA Gunnet 1911 Tactical series page 2 second gun.Get back to me
when you find the image I will keep up the good work. MovieMaster out.

:Dude, relax. You said you didn't know, and I provided the info, that's all. I had this conversation with Evil Tim a few days ago, and my general gist is, we should put in what's correct, period.

Great work on the page! I just got through watching it. I didn't know about the film until I saw the trailer to it on another dvd I had rented. I'm pretty sure the 1911 Antonio uses is a Series 80, like in the opening credit sequence.

I'm just trying to save you some time and effort.  It's just better to know in the future, if you're going to do a major revamp on a major page like that (especially one that's already had Blu-ray caps on it), that you put a heads up on the discussion page.

Could you grab an additional screenshot of this with no muzzle flash? I want to get a good look at the front of the barrel. Thanks. Or if there's better shot showing the front of the barrel, that would be fine. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 17:49, 12 September 2011 (CDT)
[[File:PunisherMoss500-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]
:Thanks, that's perfect. Yes, MPM has access to four cut down models. The ones in [[The Punisher (2004)]], [[Red Dragon]], [[Vampires]] don't have the barrel cut flush with the ribbing. So it would match the most and likely be the actual screen used gun. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 18:17, 12 September 2011 (CDT)

Do you still have the film [[Thursday]]? There's a close up shot of the nickel 1911 used by Chris Plummer. Thomas Jane eyes on it the table just before Plummer's character gives him the first tape to play. Around 22:52 on my dvd counter. I'm pretty sure it's a Norinco 1911 judging by the rollmark style but it's kind of out of focus. It's rollmark position is similar to the original WWI 1911's (on the front of the frames dust cover) but the 1911 used in the film has the relief cuts on the frame making it an 1911A1.

== An answer ==
 
Hi. I have played the PC version and is was flawless. This game is definitely not like Final Fantasy. There is not much RPG-stuff in it, you get XP for killing dudes and completing missions, you can select special abilities called "augmentations". It kinda reminds me of BioShock, although you have a really small inventory which makes the game even harder and more challenging. The game is 80% action (or stealth, depends on how you play) and 20% RPG, which involves buying/selling stuff, hacking door/computers, choosing new abilities and a little conversation with NPC's. DE:HR is definitely a masterpiece, it is the "Inception" of video games. Hope this helped. - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 04:53, 11 October 2011 (CDT)
 
== M62/M76 ==
 
Are you sure about the modernised M62 being the most common one? At the time of me trying to ID the rifle I did a lot of searching, and that was the only rifle I could find (came from the Valmet message boards, where it was a mystery gun. Only markings on it were "Sako".). I have however found a scan from a [http://www.sturmgewehr.com/bhinton/Valmet/Valmet_ADm76.jpg Sako brochure] that is a milled receiver M76, could it be this instead?  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 15:08, 9 November 2011 (CST)

==Renny Harlin==
For film directors, the general format is to make a "category" for the person, and add <nowiki>[[Category:Renny Harlin]]</nowiki> for each of the director's films that are represented on the site.  Please take a look at the [[John Landis]] page for reference.  The [[Renny Harlin]] page will be moved into the category page and please add the formatting to the other film pages.  Thanks.  --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 03:30, 3 January 2012 (CST)

: Sorry, meant comma with two m's. And I figured I'd let you cut some of the screenshots. Wasn't sure what to cut.--[[User:Mandolin|Mandolin]] ([[User talk:Mandolin|talk]]) 17:20, 14 March 2013 (EDT)
 
== Johan Falk: GSI - Gruppen för särskilda insatser ==
 
I deleted the page for ''Johan Falk: GSI - Gruppen för särskilda insatser'' because there's nothing there. I know you're reliable and have no doubt you would've eventually finished it, but it was a little too much. I saved the code on the talk page for when you decide to pick it up. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 17:23, 25 March 2013 (EDT)
 
== Screenshots ==
 
There's a few ways; I assume you're only talking about PC games, so I'll skip talking about capture cards.
 
The first and easiest way is Steam. Steam's UI has a built-in screenshot function (F12) that takes thoroughly acceptable JPEG images. While it varies as to whether it works, sometimes adding a non-Steam game to Steam will allow you to use the screencapping function too, though I've never had much luck with that route. You're best finding those using the "screenshots" button in the Steam Library since their file paths consist of uninformative strings of random numbers.
 
FRAPS you need to pay for (otherwise it watermarks everything, IIRC) and your friend is partially right; if you set FRAPS to take JPEG screenshots it gives you crap quality images full of artifacts. You have to set it to take screenshots in bitmap format (3+ megs per shot!) and then manually convert them to JPEG yourself.
 
A lot of other programs aren't able to take shots of game windows, so FRAPS is your best bet.
 
Actually getting the shots, I have a mouse with a silly number of buttons and one of them is set to F12, so I can take shots as I play. Makes for better action shots. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 09:13, 9 May 2013 (EDT)

Hey. Yes, shipping is included. If you are looking at getting multiple items which will need to be shipped over seas, we can work with you so you don't have to pay individual shipping on each item. Send me an e-mail at support@imfdb.org with your address and the items you would like to get and I will figure out what we can do to bring the shipping price down. Thanks for the support! --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] <span style="color:green">''IMFDB Chief of Operations''</span> ([[User talk:Zackmann08|talk]]) 16:51, 13 May 2013 (EDT)

No one has discussed it, but I can't think of any reason why it WOULDN'T be eligible. My only personal stipulation is that you cover the entire series and keep up with it, which is currently at 184 episodes and counting. There's only one season left, so it shouldn't be that hard. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 22:33, 3 June 2013 (EDT)

Would you be able to get me a cap of [http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4216563456/nm1296340 this guy]? He's got a television credit as well and I'd like to make a page for him.--[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 19:01, 30 June 2013 (EDT)

I have completed only about 3 missions. That Jadid guy who had the P226 in the trailer had no weapon so I thought I remove it from the page. --[[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] ([[User talk:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|talk]]) 17:39, 24 August 2013 (EDT)
:Found the P226 in the last mission at last! Thanks again for pointing it out. Never would have noticed it myself. - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] ([[User talk:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|talk]]) 15:49, 13 September 2013 (EDT)
 
== Thumbnails size ==
 
I know the rules. My own experience (more than 1000 created actor pages) tells me that 400 px is the best size while 500 px images are too large and leave less space for tables. But I'm ready to stop such edits if you have objections, and I do apologize for them if I'm wrong. So I started a discussion [[Talk:IMFDB Style Guide#The size of thumbnails on Actor pages|here]]. [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 15:13, 22 September 2013 (EDT)
 
: I agree with Greg-Z and would prefer to keep the actor pages pictures to 400px because of the above reasons.  You don't have to change the ones you've already done, but keep this in mind for the future.  --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] ([[User talk:Ben41|talk]]) 15:36, 22 September 2013 (EDT)
::I'm not offended at all. I think that I really was too hasty with these edits, judging only through my own experience. [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 15:49, 22 September 2013 (EDT)

I was hoping you'd be able to finish this, since I don't think this film is available in the US. As far as I know, you're the only regular user from Finland. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 16:34, 3 October 2013 (EDT)
:If you've already watched it and capped it, it should only take about an hour to put together. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 13:51, 4 October 2013 (EDT)

Yes, I'm pretty sure those are flashpaper guns. In the top image, that carbine is actually missing a mag release. That's odd, considering all the other details that were molded in. --Funkychinaman (talk) 07:25, 15 September 2015 (EDT)

Hmmm, that's odd. I'll take a look. --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:51, 23 September 2015 (EDT)

Mosin Nagan Obrez Image

The version of Mosin-Nagan-obrez.jpg that you uploaded yesterday looks more like a photoshopped image than a photo of a real gun. I think that a real photo would be better. If you don't mind, I'll revert the image to previous version. Greg-Z (talk) 11:49, 6 November 2015 (EST)
