Is the 01/08/2003 DVD SCR Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers the full 3 hrs?

Im wondering how long each cd was..... i think they were 34 mins each and if their is 4 cd's and at 34 mins each thats only 136 mins which is not 3 hours..... i was wondering if their was scenes cut out of this version can you anyone confirm if this is true or not....

mpg's not playing on comp.

I recently finished downloading parts 2+3, and instead of just burning the files to CD-R, I unpacked the .bin files with WinISO to a folder on my comp. I don't want to waste 4 perfectly good CD-Rs on an incompatible DVD player, and especially when the real DVD will be available in a few months anyway.

But I came across a problem when I tried to view the .mpg contained within the .bin file. There are tons of wierd coloured squares all over the screen when it plays. Much like you get with any normal mpeg-2 during various parts of the file that never come back in the same place twice, but on these files, they're all over the place from beginning to end. And there's so much it reminds me of an old VCR tape that you are constantly trying to get the tracking nob in the right position. Only here, there is no magic nob to turn that'll make it go away. The audio is completely slowed up, and I can't see ANYTHING of the actual movie.

Do I really have to burn all these files to CD-R in order for them to play right? I don't want to have to waste 4 CD-Rs to sit and watch them on my DVD-ROM. I'd rather just play them straight off my harddrive instead. Is there any way to correct this problem without having to burn?

Can Anyone help me?

Just went to burn this rls with Nero, and what resulted was a disc where the audio and video are about 10 seconds out of sync. In order to burn through Nero I had to convert the file (in Nero) from Mpg2 to Mpg1, and that was what resulted. Works fine on my computer though....anyone have any suggestions on how to burn? Thx.

come on TCF V4F!!!
bring LOTR onto your version!!

dont worry i'll be waiting for desert....

Heya, first time post, medium-time lurker.

I read through about 7 pages of posts before I gave up looking for someone else that had noticed, but there's at least one scene cut out of this screener (not sure how common this is, don't usually notice if they are missing).
I noticed this when I watched the sample, the Balrog/Gandalf fight scene is cut out between the start of his telling the story and ending up on the snowy peak.
Not going to post any spoilers for those that haven't seen this great movie, but those of you that have seen it in theaters or another previous rls should know what I'm talking about.
Checked on the second CD as well, same thing (sample comes from the very beginning of CD2).
Now, mind you, I haven't had a chance to watch the entire rls yet, so there's a chance that this is the only omission from the screener, but my money's on at least a couple more small omissions.

Great rls, video: 9 (small artifacts occasionally, "For Your Consideration" text does not impact the video rating in my opinion, sound: 8 (too quiet, yes I know it's normal, but some sort of boost would be cool if quality wouldn't be degraded), movie: 7 (hype and lofty fan-base expectations can hurt a good movie, ie- StarWars prequels)

Again, great rls, can't wait to see a DivX version (I'm not a fan of SuperVCD due to poor size/quality ratio; yeah I know they play in set-top boxes, I don't have one and probably never will have one)

/me is n00b

Is the audio in this SVCD just stereo?

I can't get the CD to play on any of the movie programs I have.

Which codec does this movies use so I can make sure i have it.

Or what is a recommended program that can play this CD?

holy shit 330 posts

Holy shit, the JPG is coming up on 100,000 views! That has to be a record!

Great Release!!!
the volume is a little low but easily corrected by turning up the volume higher.

All in all it rocks!!! Great job TDi.

Thanks!!!!

Great visuals sweet!!

Excellent visuals I have no problems with that... the audio though... I got in trouble for. Because you can't hear what they say I turn the volume to a comfortable level, once a loud scene is in the near vicinity and I can't race to turn it down it wakes up the whole house lol. Can't imagine how many times I've heard swearing. I am hoping the Vite version is a fix to this (plus less cd's) holy shit I read here that there is missing scenes? that sucks (me being the booky fan). Oh well hey we can't complain for what we get free. Anyone else witness frequent pausing in the first cd anyway? or is it just my copy? I played it on a standalone dvd player that is compatible so maybe that was it.

@jaweimer - I would recommend your DVD player software (if you have any), such as WinDVD or PowerDVD for playing these, as they aren't movie files like DivX, but rather they're CD images that are meant to be burned to CD (or mounted, with a program like Daemon Tools).

lol, don't I feel like an idiot then. I even asked my wife about it and she agreed with me, but since you both mentioned the balrog/gandalf fight scene being in a dream of Frodo's... now it's clear.

Sorry for "jumping the gun". I just coulda sworn.... lol

Sorry about that folks
