The resolution of a VHS is usually 352x240 Interlaced.

So to deinterlace that without losing any quality you must bump that up to 352x480. VCD is a measly 352x288 so you are losing almost half of the vertical resolution, and thus about 40% quality loss there.

SVCD res is 480x576 which is 21.666% too much there. Now add a few borders here and there above and below and you have a much more efficient way of storing the video.

Thus SVCD is justified.

I dont remember anyone complaining about the SVCD DVDR Screener last year. That *would* be only 21.666% higher quality than an SVCD VHS Screener.

*Bows*

:: judging by the quality of the video this looks like a 2nd+ generation tape. so lets waste bitrate on bluryness. oh and you're confusing your ntsc and pal resolutions as no fucker in their right mind would convert ntsc -> pal, so you might want to read up on them before trying to quote "statistics". -cC.

Yup, this is the full movie with all credits.
I watched it fully last night on my stadalone & it was awesome!
Some slight synch issues, but nothing too major & it isn't the whole way thru.

Also, the white strip at the bottom right doesn't show when watched on the tv.

Really nice job RiNG!

I watched the whole movie and thought that this release was a bit better than the logistic release. The sound was very good ...the picture although a little blurry was very good also. I would love a Svcd version of a better source...but this will hold me over until another screener or the DVD becomes available for purchase. I dont really care how many cd's this movie is on. If it is great quality it is worth it. I bought my first DVD burner this christmas for $79.99...they are becoming so cheap now. This is this perfect movie to convert to DVD+-R. All four cd's ....merge them and convert to one dvd. Its an excellent investment if you can get one cheap. I got the LiteOn DVDburner ...cheap ...but it works great so far.

Does anyone else notice the sync issues on CDs 2, 3, and 4? CD4 is clearly the worst, with the audio 2 seconds ahead of the video.

Yes, I see what you mean, but it's more like 1 second really.

The video quality is great on a TV. On computer it's kinda small.
There is some desynching starting in middle of CD 2 and continues on CD 3 and 4. It's still very watchable but if you don't like hearing sound 1 second ahead then don't get this one.

Video: 8 (a bit small)
Audio: 6 (desynched)
Movie: 9 (too long lol)

Watched the first three disc's today. As far as audio goes, the second was the worst that i saw, out of sync just enough to be annoying while wathcing it - but still very watchable. It got pretty pixlated on my computer when I tried to watch it, and the flashing white was kind of annoying - but watching it on my tv cleared all of that up, no flashing white strip or anything.

Pretty good release - I'll give it a 9/9/10, the overall quality was alot better than i was expecting.

hooom
I resynced the sound by muting one power DVD program and playing the logistic release on another. I have 2 DVD drives.

7/7/7 3rd installment not as good as the first two (imo)

Posted by guitarjedi on 02-02-2004 12:17 AM:

Great quality for a vhs screener imho. Color is awesome; sound is very good; the de-synching is slightly annoying, but not nearly as bad as I've seen before. I new this would be released, eventually

8/8/9

Posted by kingcyrus on 02-02-2004 05:31 AM:

6/8/7

i loved when we got the dvd screener of number 2 last year, that owned

I had no problem with any of the disks...

8/8/9.5

Great colour, great sound but the de-synch problems make it just too annoying to watch.

Is it possible that someone cleverer than me could resynch this?

I'd have to say 8/2/9

hmmm, I'm noticing something odd, I added up the times of each disk and coming up 8 minutes short, Also the end of disk 2 and the beginning of disk 3 are different scenes, Is that the way the movie was? I can't remember.

Movies.com clocks the movie at 210 minutes, I added up to 202 minutes. Is it me or what? I'm not saying any of the movie is missing, I'm asking cause I don't know. I only saw this movie in the theatre twice
