I think tcs copy looks very like apm copy for whatever that is worth....I still think 7/7 still can wait for a better copy though but major improvment

Good Sound and Picture

The angle is good, picture is a bit bland but clear, sound is great. One annoying problem: sound isn't in sync with video. =\

I give it 8/6 (outta sync)/9

"Signatures Suck"

Hasn't anyone else noticed that this source is the same as the first release by TGF. I realize this release isn't as cropped as much, but it is definitly from the same source. The first part that tipped me off is that they both have a static "pop" noise right after the opening credits. Also, they both zoom in and out on the picture in the exact same spots. Here are some examples of things that happen in the exact same time in both the TGF and TcS release:

29:07 - camera movement (2 people walking ontop of castle)
29:17 - camera zooms in (right before dad says "whats that")
30:07 - camera zooms out (pirates attacking)
30:10 - camera zooms out more (more attacking)


Anyway, I just thought I'd point that out, as it is very odd. The TcS release is definitly superior, but it is definitly from the same source, weird...

Someone mentioned earlier that the TcS version might be the same as the APM release, can anyone with a copy of the APM release check the above mentioned times, and see if it is indeed the same source?

Great TS

Why isn't everyone giving this the props it deserves? This is one of the best TSs out there right now. It has vivid colors and great sound. I haven't finished the whole flick yet, but man this IMO exceeds recent CTP quality. And it was released nice and fast. I'm OK with three Cds anytime if this quality comes out.
IMO this looks as good as a VHS rip. That's watching it burned on my APEX. Keep up the great work guys.

Nice rls, I never had any issues with it..
Pic is ok, and audio has no problems that I came across.
So overall, not a bad.!!

8/7/8

i just watched this version and im pretty disappointed. The colours are very unstable (switching constantly). Also the video is very dark, but this can be fixed by messing with the brightness on your tv). There also seems to be a bit a scene missing on cd2. As for the audio there are a few gltches and it sometimes goes in and out.

6/7/7

I must say, very impressive for a Telesync. The video was gorgeous except for the changing of tints during the film, and i don't know if a few scenes fot cut because it glitches a couple times, and one time it glitches and they are in a bar fighting or someshit(was a little confused there). Everything seemed to be insync just fine, the audio was a tad low but none the less, great audio too, this is one of the best telesyncs I have ever seen.

9/8/10

This is one of the best TSs out there right now. It has great colors and great sound. There are a few flickers. But all in all
this is one of there best releases i've seen.



8/8/8

Just watched through both this and TGF's release and both are of the same source, same tint changes, same clitch when Jack sparrow first steals the interceptor and pop hes at some bar getting slaped by the women. The only difference between the sources is that TCS cut out the scene when the cam goes dark for 5 mins when the female lead is speaking with the chambermaid before the pirates invade the town in the begining. Just had to point these out because it seems no one else caught on to this.

OMG This is a great release, i watched the whole thing last bight on my DVD PLAYER and the audio was great, the pic was straight and had great colours until the colour contast changed on it, i changed the colour contrast on my tv to make it even better. There was a scene that was cut, not a lot though, and the camera zoomed in a few times, and also ad i mentioned the color contrast changed a few times which was annoying, but for a first release it was impressive. If all these problems was not there i think would be the best TS ever, because come parts looked like a VHS SCREENER. Nice one TcS and i hope u lot release more TS's like that but without those problems, like BAD BOYS 2 one the day it is out


Audio 8: Was nearly as perfect as you can get apart from a few scenes where the sound went low for a few seconds, but it was still great.

Video 7: Picture was sharp, sometimes was blurry, and camera moves a few times, and the colour contrast changed a few times, nearly the best TS EVER. Oh yer and when it goes dark ppl will get annoyed, because u cant see much, but any TS will do that beacuse of a dark scene that is in the movie.

For a first release they killed some older groups, and if it wasent for those probs, they would of KILLED centropy by QUALITY and SPEED. Thanks to all the groups that spend there time making TS's and would ppl stop complaining when a release is crap quality, and say the group is crap, because they do this for FREE and if you dont like it then u know what u can do, u can just wait for a better release or DO IT URSELF IF UR SO SMART.

Thanks again to EVERY group out there and i hope to see more quality releases like this TcS one.

worked great on standalone player just a few audio glitches like mentioned nothing major imo

7/8/9 good job tcs

Absolutely no serious problems with this release - video and audio were just as nice if not better than any CTP release I've seen in the last coupla months.

The audio was a little low, and I'm kinda anal about that, so I took the audio levels up 8dB in CoolEdit before I burned the discs, but anyone else out there would prolly be happy just turning the TV volume up a bit. BTW, absolutely no a/v sync problems that I noticed when played on my Apex 703.

Another plus about this one (for Americans) is that it's in NTSC, so there's no f**king around needed with the PAL->NTSC conversion that I must do on all CTP releases.

All in all, great job on this one; I will be completely happy with it until a DVD Scr comes out...

9/8/9

BR

Nice release, but for those of you who still have to see this, i'd recommend watching it in a movie theatre. You'll definately get ur money's worth out of this movie.

Props go out to TcS for the nice TS

Mak.

Good job guys! Keep em coming!!

Shite interlacing traces

Good focus,
bad encode
While each fram looks good, the encoder did not conquer the interlacing problems caused by the camera. The quality does not warrent the bitrate. 3 discs is excessive if you cant get rid of the interlacing traces.
good snipping though, the first two discs fit snugly on to a 700 meg disc.

The camera was bumped in the first disc and it takes about two minutes to get it lined up again.
It was also really dark during these actino scenes.

Don't make it a three disc till you get rid of the traces of interlacing.

cheers, fun to see still.

great quality rip, nice picture, quite clear sound and a great movie!!

8/7/9

audio 6 video 7
there must be 10 minutes missing between cd1 and cd2,
I almost thought Id put in the 3rd cd by mistake.

I agree with n00b krets, I wish the interlacing traces were
taken care of, otherwise the bitrate should have been lowered enuf to fit this on 2 cds, although some good snipping couldve fit the first 2 cds onto 1 cd.... hahaha just kidding, now I know why theyre called "n00bs", I had a good laugh reading that post
