The whole point of this forum is to describe and give opinions on the quality of the releases.
If someone points out that the final 30 seconds or so of audio is missing then that's a valid point, if someone feels the video is a bit bright or too grainy with the odd person walking in front of the screen or missing 19 seconds of the titles then that's a fair point worth mentioning.
THAT IS NOT BITCHING!

I have no idea why someone would be replying to the thread on the repack to complain about the audio being out of sync, as wasnt that what the repack was for?
Reply to the other thread!

My own opinion is that the video is of great quality for a release labelled CAM there are only a few scenes where the brightness is distracting usually when the camera pans to a sunlit sky. There was regularly similar probs with Cen*r*py SVCDs EP2 for example.
It didnt stop people raving about the quality.
The only time I found the slight blockiness distracting was when it was showing the snow scene at the end. I'd give it a 7/10 for picture quality, I thought it was very watchable.
The sound, apart from the missing part at the end was, in my opinion very clear, I didnt notice any overiding hiss or much background noise, for a CAM I'd give a 6/10, I did adjust my TV to improve it on my set.
On the whole a great release.
Oh and I dont really care whether its a pre or not, it's definitely a pre in usa, I'm in UK and it's still pre general release here too.

I wont comment on the movie itself as this thread is about the CD1 REPACK so only half the movie.
I've watched it, it's fine and worth the download time.

Nice job for a cam. Better than most so called "Telesyncs" that have been released as of late.

7/7/7

nice cam realease and early too

Another excellent release from UTi. Excellent picture, sound much better than many TS's that have been coming out. A great movie. The glitches mentioned in the .NFO don't affect the overall quality at all.

Well done UTi. Recognised by MSNBC too!!!!

Great pic quality for a pre, sound pops alil at the beginning but soon disappears. Nice release

7.5/7/?

Now imdb has the "story" too ...

Good Stuff

Great Release, and y'alls Potter VCD got mentioned on CNN today, nice job

VCD playing on DVD players?

Anybody have trouble playing the burned repack on a standalone DVD player? I have a Pioneer DV-525 that plays most discs, but it wouldn't play this one... apparently it was released in PAL format? The NFO doesn't say... anyway, I re-ripped the DAT from the images, re-encoded them for NTSC, burned them, and those new discs played fine... but should I have to do this with new VCDs?
Not complaining (the quality is pretty damn good for a CAM), just wondering if any other users had a similar problem?

deesto

huh?

i have a pansonic. and it wont play the movie. i got it by burning the image onto a cd. and btw the lst minute o fteh CD 1 doesnt haev audio how od i fix this?

The best way to make sure your burning the correct format for your DVD is this.

Take the file AVSEQ.dat from the MPEGAV folder using daemon tools or Alcohol 120.

Rename to HP1.mpg (or hp2.mpg for cd2)

Start Nero (if your in US make sure the options are for burning to NTSC format) and burn as a VCD.

It should work.

Or you can use TMPEG and change to NTSC/PAL, either way works

Ok, I am currently downloading this one, so I cant comment on the quality, but I would like to Thank UTI, for labeling their cam as a cam and not a TS. Thanks for the honesty, keep up the good work!

I feel pretty dam stupid but I can't get CD2 to play. Won't work in WMP and PowerDVD. Please help this nub :P

Just throwing in my two cents... I'll be expecting change

Keeping in mind that this is a CAM release, here's my vote.

6 (VERY good overall quality for a cam, but at a few parts people in the theater move in front of the shot... short but noticable)
4 (Audio was "ok" at best... at some points you can hear the camera moving around, and on the repack, at least, it cuts out near the end of CD 1 losing a few seconds from a minor scene)
5 (Movie was good on its own merits but a massacre of the original book... but then, aren't most adaptations to screen?)

With that said, I'll wait for the DVD rip, but thanks to UTi for letting us check it out a full week before US release!

Quick note to the noobs...

If you're having trouble with these VCDs, there's some really good tutorials posted at www.vcdhelp.com - you might want to check them out.

There are LOTS of sites devoted to help with this sort of thing... please let this post be the last of it. This forum is for rating and reviewing releases - not for the VCD creation process.

i have no clue how to opne the AVSEQ01 on alcohol or daemon
