Good quality and sound but definetly a crappy movie! Even though Kate Winslet is fucking hot!

very watchable quality
7/7

i dont really understand all the negative attitudes towards a centropy release ,take out centropy from the equation and what are we left with? cams when the sound is so bad you cant hear anything and the picture is so skewed u can just about make out someones head

so many people complaining about something which to be honest they wont have a scoobydoo clue how to improve because they contribute nohting to the scene only downloading then complaining

if your not happy with say a blue tint then please atleast focus somthing on the possitive aswell as the negative say nice sound, picture is in alignment,i can make out text i.e credits and subtitles ect....

why come on here making a post about 1 thing and making the whole release seem so bad ,be grown up and give these guys some credit for the possitive aspects of these rleases aswell ,because they do far out weigh the negative

it is shocking to come on here and read some of the most ignorant posts ive ever read ,shouting do this do that centropy, do it now we demand it from you

dont do it in this format do it in that format i demand it because i want it this way (stamp my feet)

regardless of what people write in this forum be it good or bad ,if i can see whats going on and can hear whats being said , then job done
it doesnt matter what format it was in or how blue it looked ,its a telesync you know what you get when its labeld a telesync

if your going to post someting you found negative atleast spare a few lines for what you thought was possitive aswell ,i can only imagine how much hard work went into making these for us ,and i might add for free

to hear complaints about this being in svcd and not vcd only means those people complaing want this release to watch,
if you didnt want it and think it was watchable you wouldnt complain about it being in a format which you dont like
you would see the folder and think nar ill pass on this a centropy telesync blah nasty

but you dont you all cry for it ,...centropy have done their job ,stop being so lazy and convert it to vcd if you want it in vcd ,there are so many guides out there to make this possible ,you all cry for centropy to do this for you ,yet your all to lazy to do it yourselfs

ts -> svcd -> the scene -> ppl who cry about it not being vcd = lazy feckers who take take take and give nothing back in return

You can never improve the resolution of an image beyond that of the source (filtering is possible, but not the same). I don't know what kind of camera Centropy is using, but if you compare it to UTI cams, for instance, you will see that there is obviously way less resolution in the image. No matter what format you use, you can never add additional resolution to the image.

SVCD has some advantages, in particular that MPEG-2 is a much more aggressive compression algorithm than MPEG-1, and thus yields much better results with the same bits-per-pixel. The downside is that a lot of SVCD releases actually use fewer bits-per-pixel than VCD due to the increased resolution (number of pixels) of the image, so whether or not the final compression quality is really any better depends (it usually should be, i think.) Now, if the additional pixels are unnecessary, due to the low resolution of the source, it becomes really questionable as to whether SVCD gives any quality enhancement whatsoever.

As to the resolution of a camera: Irregardless of the format (VHS-C/8mm, SVHS-C/Hi-8, Digital-8) and the resolution it is capable of recording, the tape can only record what is captured by the camera's CCD. I could be wrong on this, but I think the primary factor determining low-light performance is CCD size. Very low grade consumer cameras use 1/6" CCDs, some use 1/4", the best use 1/3", and the very best, Canon XL-1, uses 3 CCDs, one for each color. Even if a group is using a DV camera, if it is a $500 dollar model with a small, low-quality CCD, the results will be poor.

Overall I thought it was a good movie the sound is clear and the picure is decent no real action so no pixalation 7/7/8


Posted by shaomasterlin on 02-25-2003 07:04 AM:

nice video and audio quality, good movie. 7.2/7/8

for those who complain of the slight blue tint, you can adjust the colors on your tv, it helps...i did it


Posted by PhAnToMs on 02-25-2003 07:07 AM:

i checked the sample and ctp should not be releasing in the svcd format its pretty bad to their standards in the past even there releases around a year and ahlf ago were clearer than this but they were vcds

7/8/

oh ya to the nfo saying over 113mins so made it 3 cds
i remember oceans 11 by fast empire i belive 2cds on a movie around the same lenght of this and quality was great on it they just think they are superior cause they HAD good quality releases i have some svcd of star wars ep 5 and 6 laser disc rips one of the cds is 67mins qual was pretty good no complaints 3 cds for a alright video ts with good sound phhhhhttttttt

:: Damn your a fool, I wont even edit this due to your stupidity. Don't Complain phantoms, you can't do nothing better, plus who says they think there above everyone else? They don't care what you want, as theyve shown that, so stop complaining about svcd.

3 discs? svcd? come on things have changed

well i use to be a centropy hater. but i have to give it to them when they where releaseing stuff before i admit and take back everything i said about them their old TS releases where damn good. as a matter of fact i was looking forward to them comeing back but i have to say the pic on thier reelases isen't what it use to be. daredevil was way to dark. svcd? ok i said no last time they where around cause i just had something personal against them and felt the vcds i recoded of their svcds looked the same as the original svcd. but i do have to say they aren't the top of the heep anymore and svcd is no longer needed. stay with the norm which is the vcd format. i must say though tcf has been doing a damn good job of giveing ctp a run for their money if only they could release as often as ctp does. anyway i'll be recodeing this sucker to vcd like i have thier past few releases as to not take up to much hd space. 3 discs? come on guys i dont like to get up once in the movie to change discs and your asking me to do it twice? fuck it i'm lazy or maybe i'm just comfortable on the couch with my girlfriend and don't feel like getting up either way 3 discs is not the way to go sorry ctp things have changed while you where gone. change to vcd format. even if you don't i still will enjoy your releases and urge you not to stop and to continue because they are among the best TS releases lately but i have to give props to esoteric and tsc. hmmm seems i have written a book over here hehehe


Posted by Beedle on 02-25-2003 09:12 AM:

very nice release, glad it's svcd...quality would be lost if it were vcd. 9/9/8

btw: I'm not seeing this blue tint...is something wrong with my dvd player?

::Use the edit feature instead of double posting please.. thank you -FuzZ::

Maybe next time you should check 'site rules'! Some sites dont allow SVCD ts's yet others do. Others may accept but they must go into the VCD dir. Sounds like whatever site your on is full of fucking retards!

I posted yesterday on what I initially thought of the sample.
Now I've watched the film, which was excellent by the way......great performances by all involved!
That bluish tint that I, and a lot of others mentioned, really isn't a problem at all.
I basically NEVER watch telesyncs! Why? Because I'm a fan of films and the shite quality of the average TS just about ruins the viewing experience.
I sat and watched this without being disturbed at all by the quality. The sound's clear and the picture is fine....albeit a little dark here and there.
It should of course be rated in comparison to other telesyncs and because of that I'll give it a 7/7/8.
Good work Centropy

Regardless of a blue tint, or slight graininess/pixelation, Centropy ALWAYS releases a watchable release. Audio is always top notch, and the video stays aligned, and focused. Granted, the quality's not as great as it used to be, but its still pretty damned good. It beats these tilted, subtitled silvers getting released. Now, I'm not trying to sway anyone's opinion here; I could care less. I'm just stating mine, and reviewing the quality of this release. The video IS a little more pixelated than normal, but this is from watching it on my PC; I'm sure my television will smooth it out a bunch. The Blue tint is still present, and some of the high motion scenes are a TOUCH blurry. Other than that, this release, like Centropy's other releases is great, and extremely watchable. I haven't finished the whole movie yet, but I rate it an 8/8 for video/audio, respectively.

*EDIT* I don't really mind about SVCD for any movie, seeing as I convert everything to DVD compatible anyway. I honestly hate disc swapping with a passion. But for those of you who burn CDs, I don't really see why you would have a problem with SVCD; its just a MINOR inconvenience, if that. If you don't like it, say so... but no need to bash or flame. Especially when groups don't get shit back from you.
