Test Screens and MPEG-2/MPEG-1 Format

Test screens are used to test the clarity and brightness of the created files. The test screens are compared against the images provided on the Pioneer disc, without any kind of conversion. Black and white lines are introduced, colored images with all kind of colors, as well as dark and light areas on the screen.

Clicking on the images will reveal high resolution images for better comparison.

In most DVD converters, colors are darker than the original source. In ADS DVD Xpress captures, brightness is not reduced, and colors look almost the same as the unconverted images from the original source disc. Only professional converters can produce such bright images.

This is a mixed, color and black and white image. From the images above, it can be seen that again colors remained the same.

We used the above test pattern to investigate the distortion in the captured image. Small black lines are introduced in different shapes, and a bright white layer in the background. Good converters should produce an image in such a way that the black and white areas should be clearly identified as different, distinct areas. DVD Xpress managed to do this with no problem. Excellent performance.

Brightness was again retained, and clarity remained at high levels. Black, white and gray areas are identified clearly as different areas and no color distortion was observed. Excellent performance again by the ADS DVD Xpress!
