That's not really true. I've seen 3 cd (svcd) rips of titanic that looked just as good as the dvd, and that's a bit longer than this flic. Haven't seen this particular release tho, the tdi was good enough for me till the dvd is released.

Funny thing is if a movie like "The Pianist" or similar had whatever this audio "problem" is, no one would think twice.

But since it is Triumph's favorite movie next to Star Wars sequels, we have people flocking from all their little Hobbit holes to complain about something they are now trying to hear.

You could say there is a gunshot in the scene where Frodo is walking around and I bet we'd start a war of who heard it and who didn't.

There could be a buzz or something metallic (I do not hear it at all on a standalone), but odds are if you weren't sitting there with your pants down as you watch you probably would not even pick it up.

Guy gave me a car once. For Free. But the radio had a high pitch metallic noise if the sound went above 50db. I told him to stick that car up his ass..... NOT!

Christ, the "terrible" audio problem with Tdi's release is almost non-existant. I finally heard it after cranking my stereo to ear shattering decibles. Quit whining. The releases are worth every penny we are paying for them... Too many greedy people around here

Nope, not true. Scene standards state that if the movie is under 180 minutes, it should be put onto 3 CD's. And guess what: this movie is 179 minutes!

It's very obvious on the music at the beginning, I came here to look at what people were saying after I heard it, I haven't heard it because of what people are saying. It depends on your speakers though, better speakers are clearer and will show up the bad sound more.

Note: the above is not a whine merely a comment

re:yazoo

I was hoping my previous post would drum up more controversy (I like a good convo ) Anyways yazoo of course i dont have proof iam not saying it IS what they have done ,but with all those overwhelming facts, and the fact they(FLiX) have been acused of it before ( you asked what i thought it was yazoo, and i almost wanted to find out, but it was a little bit too much research for the fact that its a friday night and i want to get drunk

Anyways the main point is they dont have a oscar guy, not a single oscar release from them so far(maybe the last 2 gay flics were, not sure/dont care) And the fact that even groups like TCF/BOOZERS who do have decent oscar guys dont have it(iam only saying this cause ,one if they did they would proper that ugly iND DVDR release) then certainly FLiX doesnt , anyways thats the end of my rant, 99% sure DVDR-->SVCD, but of course i have been wrong in the past, one time i thought i was wrong but i really wasnt ...

no audio problem even on auditorium speakers

I like to herd my friends into a huge auditorium on one of several nearby college campuses to watch big name releases like this. The room has a monstrous rear-projection screen and a typical auditorium (i.e. crappy, but loud) speaker system.

For maximum quality, I usually plug my laptop into the display and play the raw MPEGs using mplayer (for *nix) rather than finding equipment on which to play the SVCDs.

That's what I did for the TDi release, and even on those ridiculously loud and low quality speakers I didn't notice any of the buzz people are talking about ...

So all in all, Which version is better and more enjoyable to watch? The TDi version or this new FLiX version? And by enjoyable I mean good sound and good video.

I posted this in the original thread, but people ignored my work
Just a re-post here for the people saying "i can't hear it..."

If you can't hear it, then you can see it...proof of the visual form now for all you who seem to believe that the audio is prefect

This is taken from the sample, so the majority of people can compare...

Screenshot 1 shows a moment where the mechanical whining is not present. There is no clear high pitched noise.

Screenshot 2 shows a moment where the mechanical whining IS present, and if you see the circled part of the graph...there is a clearly higher pitched noise coming through at a rather loud decibel level...proof, i think so

The TDI sound version is perfect surround sound with enhanced spectrum, however some PEOPLE who dont disable the SRS etc, and then try to play it through a shitty little pre-amp will get a buzz. This is because of the redundant audio channels they have left coz they dont know what they are fuking doing. The sound is very maleable but to get max performance play with a decent card and speakers.So in answer to all the questions, the tdi sound is nigh on perfect. The wankers who complain about buzzing shud by themselves a decent system, or learn how to unchek boxes.

Pah

:: no, these idiots u speak of don't represent the 'scene' they represent their own stupidity only. -pHo

I think your post is a perfect example of what your talking about, their are far too many people like you in it. I've got a beast of a setup. You can definetly hear the whine in TDI's it's still better than any other release but there's no denying the whine. My dvd player seems to remove most of it but thats just flattening the sound. I prefer to get as close to original as possible not muddy and dirty as seems to be fad these days. As for the wankers who should buy a new system at the same time I think I'd go and have my hearing checked if I were you.

No not too many greedy people, I greatly greatly appreciate groups supplying releases. I've seen many many films due to TDI but thhey fucked up on sound before. Spiderman @192Kbits for a svcd for the sake of learning how to encode. Last years 2 disk mp4 kicked the ass of this years SVCD's. Still it's a high motion film. It's certainly not terrible just noticable and of course because only a small percentage of us can hear the higher frequency's it causes half of us to outright deny any problem.

I don't expect perfection it's just nice when groups provide it.

Digital Daycare ...

So you would all rather piss and moan about the TDI release than actually discuss the QUALITY of the **FLiX** release?

I have the TDI release, and was considering grabbing the FliX one too to check it out ... but hey, guess what? No comments on how this release actually is... big shock. So I'll just stay with what I got... and leave you people to yer dumb ass complaining.

Typical...

Can we get a fucking babysitter here or something?

Posted by PauLReeD on 01-12-2003 02:25 AM:

The buzzing sound in TDI's release is actually aliasing. Any old-schoolers with a 12-bit sampler like the Korg DSS-1 would be familiar with it. It's basically what happens when you violate the Nyquist theorum, which I guess TDI did in their audio conversion, from 48khz to 44.1, or perhaps a change in bit depth, I dunno. I only watched Disc4 but when the woman's choir comes in the aliasing is quite severe.

Here are some links, complete with pretty pictures. The second one has a good explanation although you have to scroll down a bit to get the the section on aliasing and noise.

lol

The hell is peoples problems, TDI did a damn good good job, the sound wasn't low, maybe a tad under a retail dvd but thats it. I turned my stereo up quite loud it was rumbling the walls, it sounded great. I didn't hear any annoying sounds, I have damn near perfect hearing. So since half of the people on here don't know anything about stereo's you shouldn't speak. even though i have one problem, my fucking dvd player won't play Svcds it can only handle vcd which sucks. I have to buy a new one. well hope you all take care. later all.

Posted by wmadoss on 01-13-2003 01:59 PM:

Tdi would have been great if...

the release had 5 channel surround instead of plain 2 channel stereo...will definately not see this movie without 5.1...

If you perform the 'header trick' I outlined in the LOTR : TTT - TDI release thread, you will be able to watch SVCDS on a player which only supports VCDs with no drop in quality.

Posted by Ricc81 on 01-14-2003 05:00 PM:

Discuss the TDi release on ANOTHER thread!!!
I'm so fucking tired of reading all these replies from wierdos who don't seem to get that IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS TDi´s RELEASE
DO SO IN THE THREAD WHERE YOU COMMENT THAT RELEASE.

Please, comment the --> FLiX-release <--- in this thread.

Posted by rippervk on 01-19-2003 05:16 AM:

Ok, here's the final verdict. Got myself the FLiX's internal and compared it with TDi's. Audio is perfect in the FliX's release. Very similar to V4F's Gangs audio. I ripped the audio at a certain area where its the worst metallic sounding and hiss and compared it with the Flix's. The video is actually pretty good for being three cds. But gotta give props to TDi's video, which is impeccable. Can't say that for audio tho. Well, doesn't look liek anyone's gonna do a real proper anytime soon, unless mayge TCF does it's own rip for the retail in like 6months or so. This won't do anygood for most of you guys, but just thought I'd let everyone know.

Well let's hope that puts to rest the comparisons between the 2 releases. Awesome rel FliX. Glad I was able to grab it.

Posted by GMKrullen on 01-20-2003 01:42 AM:

Finally!

So, basically the sound in this FLiX release is better, and Video is best in TDi's release. Although the differences arn't much I gather from all the ranting of the other posts.

Serious???

Are you guys serious?? People still sit on IRC waiting for things?? That is amazing to me.. I have had the actual DVD (not svcd or vcd re-encode or any of that shit for since the day it was released a few weeks back).. I can not believe people do not just get the DVD, and shutup about bandwidth and all that crap.. move deserves nothing but the real DVD Screener.. I have a DVD burner so just burned on DVD and am done.. anyway just kills me to think people still sit on IRC queues lol.. that is old old old news.. I used to get things that way a couple years ago, can not believe people still do..

Well good luck to all those, and please no more releases of this, you can get the DVD of it, get it and be done.. by the time you keep downloading different versions you would have surpassed the 4.7GB download! lol.. Good luck IRC leeches lol.. Some day you might find the real way to get things..
