simple fix for ttt-xvid-vite

heres a simple answer to a lot of the questions regarding sync, glitches, shitty sound, shitty picture, crashing, etc etc,
save youself the headache, delete this, and download the postx 3cd with ac3 sound release.

thats not intended to sound like a smart-ass comment, but why spend hours fucking around with this, when there is another release out with none of the problems of this one, plus better audio and video to start out with, so go get it! and dont flood out my bot fuckers!!

actually everybody says that vite's 3 cd-ac3 (internal) version is much better than postx's one...

SVCD will be better than DiVX or XViD because DiVX and XViD have more pixelation and are more compressed, so you lose video quality. I get DiVX and XViD a lot, but not on a release like this. I would definitly go with SVCD on this and other GOOD movies that you like. There is nothing wrong with DiVX or XViD other than the pixelation that they ALWAYS have pixelation when they are in a room with little light in it. If you are watching it on your comp get DiVX or XViD otherwise go for SVCD.

hmm with the fix cd1 didnt crash...but after that part the audio gets out of sync...how can i fix that??
cd2 isnt out of sync but there are i think about 2 spots in it which crash.....do i fix that by just deleting the corrupted scenes?? thanks...

Just curious about this, the type of glitches on this is where some of thew pixel colors dont match, or turn black or green, and trails are left as an object is moving, and crashing, not that its thru the whole movie, but just for a couple of seconds on 2 spots, I noticed more of the xvids/divx Im playing lately have these odd glitches, ESPECIALLY since I installed the ffdshow files to watch Red Dragon XVID..... anyone else notice MORE of these glitching problems since installing ffdshow (build 20021213). (Even though red dragon was totally unwatchable without installing it)

Well after watching a few minutes of the postx ac3, they both are pretty similar in video quality. Totaly watchable a few feet back(can't see compression errors) and up close it is also fine but going a few feet back makes it look like a perfect dvd. I still like the postx version better because of my 5.1 computer speaker setup . Maby when my parents decide to get some 5.1 on the tv then I will actually buy dvds, beside music dvds. Or when I get out of this hellhole called home.

i also have it...download from kazaa.... en the only thing is a green screen.....also see a little bit movies but not much...is F*cked up...what do i do wrong?

Used Nandub to patch my 2 disk Xvid, now no hanging at 7.50 and sound is in perfect sync! Apart from the cock ups i think its a damn good rip!

Skrib....

Dopeuser8 ... I installed ffdshow for red dragon as well and then saw what my other movies looked like.. i seriously dislike that filter and its now gone from my computer.. i would suggest doing the same on yours.

As for the movie itself I grabbed the 3cd PostX internal release and I was very impressed. The movie has a lot of large scale panning and the postx SBC encode is done properly so that the bitrate can keep up. I don't really see how ViTE's release could be much better since a properly ripped SBC DivX 3.11 is on par with an XViD rip of the same bitrate( theres poeple who say one is better and theres others who claim different, I can't tell the difference myself). Of course, the ac3 audio was what I was really after, and no release group that can manage to create rar files could fuck up ac3 ( I hope, I mean seriously... ).
A lot of people seem to misunderstand XViD/DivX and the concept of average bitrate... a low average bitrate can be fine for a movie that has a lot of dialogue scenes and such, the codec automatically assigns a low bitrate to those scenes then boosts it when the shit hits the fan. 970 kbps would be fine for many movies but not this one.. theres just too much motion and the scenes are very visually complex. As far as SVCD being better than DivX/XViD... don't make me laugh. Follow the logic here.. people say that DivX/XViD(mpeg4) is too high of a compression so it doesnt give as good a picture. All compression means is that for a given amount of compressed video data you can get a given amount of uncompressed video data. mpeg4 is higher compression than mpeg2 (SVCD), which is higher compression than mpeg1( VCD). So with an equivalent bitrate svcd is better than VCD... and mpeg4 movies are better than SVCD because they contain more information about the video data. It's very simple. Lets not even mention the fact that SVCDs are 480 x 480 which means that for a widescreen movie you have 2 black boxs on top and below the video.. these boxes themselves dont take up much bitrate... unfortunately maintaining a crisp clean line that transitions from full motion movie to complete darkness does take up a significant amount of bitrate so essentially you end up with a 480 x 200ish movie, which sucks, and you give up bitrate to maintianing the letterbox.. which also sucks.

HELP WITH THE NANDUB PATCH

I got the patch file to be used with Nandub, but the nfo file that tells you how to use it is damaged. can someone please just tell me what the nfo file says

OK, i know i'm dumb, but...

OK, i know i'm dumb, but i found out how to load the fix patch while in Nandub, but when i loaded it, i got a Sylia script error stating "Member 'audio2' not found" Can someone please tell me how to fix this so i can patch the movie, PLEASE!!!!!

I got the 1 disk DVDr which is more then good enough for my 28" widescreen TV.

DIVX let me down on this one..........Bastards

Im having problems joining the Postx 3cd version of TT. Im using nandub and direct stream copy, when i do either disc 1 & 2 they are joined fine with no problems, or i do disc 2 & 3, same thing no problems. But once i try to add Disc 1 or 3 to the previous 2 files and try to play it, it plays but i cant skip around or any player, BSPlayer, PowerDivx, WMP9/6, or WinDVD Platinum will close or give me an error message saying it cant be played, the audio will cut out or be badly out of sync if it plays, when I know all are in perfect sync. Any suggestions?

I'm a newbie when it comes to this stuff, so bear with me. I have DLed this version and I'm trying to convert it using TMPGEnc so I can get it on a VCD. I have the sound fixed version, BTW. Every time I try to convert the video goes out (the audio seems intact) during the scene when Frodo and Sam first scuffle with Gollum. Is this a common problem? I saw in some earlier posts that some people were having trouble at around the 7 or 8 minute mark, which would be about where my problem is. Is there a fix?

Note: the video does not go out when viewed on Windows Media Player; only when trying to convert.

in answer to my own question. To remove the glitch, use nandub,
- go to the frames that give an error message in the message bar
- set selection start one or two frames before this (about 12229)
- move to the frame after the last error frame (about 12296)
- edit > delete frames
- save as new avi


If you cant find syncfix - fixrus
the nandub settings are:

VirtualDub.Open("ttt-cd1-xvid.avi", 0, 0);

VirtualDub.audio.SetSource(1);
VirtualDub.audio.SetMode(0);
VirtualDub.video.SetMode(0);
VirtualDub.audio.SetInterleave(1,500,1,0,-225);

VirtualDub.subset.Clear();
VirtualDub.subset.AddFrame(0, 126417);

VirtualDub.SaveAVI("ttt-cd1-fixed.avi");

VirtualDub.Close();


VirtualDub.Open("ttt-cd2-xvid.avi", 0, 0);

VirtualDub.audio.SetSource(1);
VirtualDub.audio.SetMode(0);
VirtualDub.video.SetMode(0);
VirtualDub.audio.SetInterleave(1,500,1,0,-225);

VirtualDub.subset.Clear();
VirtualDub.subset.AddFrame(0, 125319);

VirtualDub.SaveAVI("ttt-cd2-fixed.avi");

VirtualDub.Close();

GOD DAMN IT !!!

I downloaded the nandub crash fix for the first scuffle scene with Gollum which worked fine but it didn't cure the other crash where you first encounter Wormtongue (or whatever his name is) in Rohan.

I've edited out this part with virtualdub but when I try to save it it gives me a error message saying it's being used by another fucking process !!!

What am I doing wrong ???

I'm seriously considering downloading another version of this.

ViTE = SHITE

Ignore the above post.

I think I've cracked it thanks to my cousins pet snowmonkey..
