Because its like 3 1/2 hours long? on one DVDR you'd be lucky to get 2 - 3MBPS average. If you don't like it get Centropy's SVCD TC. This 2 disc DVDR rls is perfect for me, since 2mbps video on an HDTV looks awful.

I might as well download the SVCD if i want to change discs during the movie!!

The bitrate would still be more than good enough!

Friggin stupid. Hope someone PROPERS it. (cause thats what i would call it)

Pfft. It's a three and a half hour movie man, thats why. When the DVDScr of TTT was released last year with downsampled video so it fit on one disc, it was BARELY acceptable on the TV. On the computer screen there was some macroblocking and pixelization in high action sequences such as Helm's Deep, and it was thirty minutes shorter than ROTK. I agree with Centropy's decision to span this over two discs and leave everything untouched, the video would have looked pretty rank had they not. Yes its a slight pain to have to swap discs, but I think that is more than acceptable in order to have pristine audio and video. And the svcd? In case you havent checked its FOUR cds, and the bitrate is not nearly as good as a DVD. SVCD = ~2mbs while DVD = ~3-9mbs, with an average ~6mbs, depending. If you want it on one DVD-R then go get a copy of CCE and use a guide at doom9.org to do it yourself.

Having watched the first disc I rate this release:
10/10/10
(Untouched baby, remember that)

Agreed the a 1 DVD release may look ok on that chaps 14" portable but try watching it on a LCD TV or plasmas screen or even a decent 32" + widescreen TV and it would look awful compressed on 1 DVD

This is an excellant release superb quality

you could use dvd2one to join both the dvdr's. i did this with goodfellas as this was a double sided disc and this came out fine

Posted by bex on 03-04-2004 05:06 PM:

to stick this on one disc with 1 audio track no menu bitrate would be 2.7 think it would be nuked by the anal's

Posted by sYph0n on 03-04-2004 05:19 PM:

but whats the original source? DVD RIP means that it has to be ripped off an original DVD which is not possible cause the retail release is in june or august or something.

are extras on this discs? and how does the menu look like? self made or professional?

Posted by Muzak on 03-04-2004 05:47 PM:

it will be split on two dvd's when its out in stores too. the runtime is 201 minutes, 22 minutes longer than TTT. i imagine it will be like the TTT extended edition, which was 224 minutes long and split over two disks. just be an "insert disk two msg come up.

btw, ROTK's extended edition is going to be a whooping 250 minutes long!! cant wait for that.

Well, that extended edition also had a massive DTS track and 4 commentaries, but anyway..to not split this would be the epitome of dvdr idiocy

i hope

i hope when bluray and what not is out that they rerelease the lotr stuff on 1 disc for each

Posted by Lord_Sauron on 03-04-2004 07:34 PM:

SIGH

The Theatrical Version on DVD will be two discs just like usual...

Disc 1 - Movie - (and not much else, scene selection and that's it - the movie WILL NOT BE SPLIT OVER TWO DISCS...can't you see this from the menu)

Disc 2 will be several of the documentaries and other sctuff - Just like the last two times...

...Would I rather have had this downsampled a bit to fit on 1 DVDR - maybe - only maybe because I'm going to buy it anyway so right now I just want the complete movie looking NICE. Maybe someone will release and INTERNAL but it definatly won't be a PROPER

Video - 10
Audio - 9.5 I don't have the proper equipment - LOL
Movie - 10+

Best. Trilogy. Ever.

i learnt downloading dvdr's of LOTR the hard way.

i leeched practically every dvdr version out, in the end i had about 8 dvdr's of LOTR:TTT. then i bought the EE without watching one of them.

moral? pho is an idiot, do not listen to him ever.

It's perfect as is on 2 DVD-Rs. the bitrate for 1 DVD-R would not look that good especially on a bigger TV. this release will look super smoking on my 53" sony XBR

Dude get a clue.

Syphon,

DVD RIP means exactly that. It comes from the retail dvd. Thats the point of these releases. In does not come out in stores until may or june. These groups get them early from where ever they get them from. Look in the dvd rip section of this the web site. All the dvd's are retail dvds damn near. And to your question about the menu. Its professional because its the real disk. If you could download it and test it you would be embarrassed by your posting. So it is exactly what you say in can not be. It comes from an original source. Thats what makes the scene great man. Learn the scene before you open your mouth. Your only embarrassing yourself.

*sigh*

apparently, nfo's are useless to some people. time will bare me out, as the retail MOVIE will be split over 2 disks, with extras on a third or fourth. there is a reason why under ripped, which for the slower ones in the crowd is referring to the extras, it says "NADA!". that means, on the retail dvds, THE EXTRAS ARE NOT ON THE MOVIE DISKS. return of the king is the longest running of the 3 movies, by almost over 20 minutes. there are two movie disks with the retail, un extended edition. just sit back and wait kids.

does anyone know what the repacked version of this one is all about?? I would hate to download this thing and find out there is some stupid flaw I can't live with.

Posted by thredworm on 03-05-2004 10:48 PM:

Brilliant!

Amazing that some people still moan about it being over 2 discs like they've been hard done by or something. Get a grip. Props to Centropy for a wonderful job. Perfect.

look at the sample jpeg of the first release, then look at the jpeg of this release. The reason will be obvious.

DVD X-Copy rip. Ya big skill here.

Posted by SycoCowz on 03-05-2004 11:28 PM:

skynet and XeroFightsAlone: wrong thread... the SVCD was the one that was fucked up and propered, not the DVDR

anyways, I give this DVDR a 9/10/10, because for some reason the video looks a *little grainy*, if this is an untouched rip, this shouldn't be, but its definitly visible

Muzak,

Nope sorry, you are wrong. The retail for the MOVIE is one disk. Only the extended edition will be more than one disk for the MOVIE. Just sit and wait kid.
