Original – The Big Parade, King Vidor's acclaimed 1925 silent war film

Reason: This is a high-quality reproduction of the now-public domain silent film The Big Parade, featuring the most complete runtime available. (The 1931 score by William Axt is still copyrighted and is thus not included in the file.)

Comment - This upload was done less than a week ago. Also I'm not sure if it not having the score hinders it to be a Featured Picture. GamerPro64 05:25, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Besides the low bitrate (621 kbps at the time of the upload), the video resolution (480p) is particularly low compared to the Blu-ray source. I assume the upload is a direct conversion of the .mp4 file (754.4 MB) from the archive.org link without the 25 second black background at the beginning and the "edition credits" at the end. The archive.org from which the video is sourced also contains two video files which seem to have higher quality than the current quality of the upload:

a 1.3 GB
.mkv
file which, based from my experiences using archive.org, its the one the website automatically used to directly create the .mp4 file with downscaled quality.
an uncompressed 30 GB .m2ts file, that was directly extracted from the official Blu-ray.

I suggest using the .mkv file to make a higher quality upload than the one we currently have.--Mayimbú (talk) 17:16, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
