[REL] ...und ich dachte, du magst mich (1987)

[citronleaf]

DEFA (Deutsche Film-Aktiengesellschaft) was the state-owned film studio of Eastern Germany from 1946-1992, dissolved after the two Germanys reunited. The Eastern German films are now preserved by the DEFA Foundation. The DEFA Filmwelt YouTube channel seems to be connected to it. So I guess this is the "official" streaming version and not just some grubby old version uploaded by a random film fan.

There are plenty of vintage DEFA films here at FLM and they are fantastic.

Arrggh... The video has a resolution of 1080p, so it's FHD.

Who cares about YouTube's labeling?

[Moonee]

Sorry, I have no knowledge whatsoever on quality, compression, bitrate etc.. All I know is that 720p is HD so when I saw the no HD tag, it confused me (Just wish youtube properly labeled the quality option better; 720p HD and 1080p FHD.. Wouldn't have caused confusion for me)

But yea, I think I've learnt now that regardless of how low the compression or bitrate is, a 720p video will always be HD


Anyway, I have no more to add to this discussion and I'm not gonna continue further (In this thread anyway)

Yay, I managed to download it in Opera! Of course I had the sense to check in at FLM before I went any further. Thank you ghost for downloading and posting it! I have not had the time to dig up the old files to compare but I can believe your evaluation. Of course for me the most important thing is downloading and archiving files. I don't need to actually watch a movie a second or third time.

I don't need to actually watch a movie a second or third time.

I disagree with this.. If the movie catches my attention/is a good movie, I'll watch it a trillion times

There's so many movies out there that I've watched more than thrice (And I mean thrice, not twice)

And looking at the images in this thread, this is definitely a movie I'd be up to watching more than once

Of course for me the most important thing is downloading and archiving files. I don't need to actually watch a movie a second or third time.

Night, do you have a money tree in your backyard?

I see 0 sense of downloading a file and wasting storage space just for it to never be watched lol

(I normally only keep files I absolutely love and delete the rest)

But I don't really start deleting unless I run low on storage space

[Night457]

I was not claiming I made "sense"! But if I judge it based on what I actually DO... I spend plenty of time searching, downloading, recoding files and then I am too tired to watch anything more complicated than "Knight Rider". I do not actually watch all the movies I collect, so clearly I do not NEED to. Apparently all I need to do is to have them, just in case I want to watch them. Storage space is never wasted: I can delete one thing and replace it with something else I don't watch either.

P.S.: There are some movies I have watched dozens of times.

[DreamScape]

The people who ask me for reups don't think my storage space is wasted.

I can delete one thing and replace it with something else I don't watch either.

Well, that's the problem. I can delete "one thing". But what good does that do? I have already downloaded 10 more things. There's no way to delete enough to keep up.
