[STFU! -Pazzi]

And CTP, I'm no techfreak, but

if you try to move the camera sligthly *away* from the screen, maybe you'll get the *whole* picture,

and not just the center part of it

Might be workprint

I saw this one in the theatre and this release seems to be the same without any noticeable scene changes. The only thing that makes me think workprint is the fact that (I read most of the other post and I didn't see any mention) several times thoroughout the movie you can see a boom microphone sticking down from the top into the scene. I did not see that in the theatre. Anyone else notice that ???? You see that a lot in workprints and I've seen several and that seems to be in a lot of them. Anyone else have a comment on this ????

I am in the USA and am wondering. Is there a way to convert it from a PAL to a NTSC? I think it is great that it is in SVCD, thank you centropy. The only problem I am having is lines going up the screen therefore its not viewable. Audio is OK. I suspect this is because it's a PAL. So how do I convert it to view here in the USA? Please advice.

Burn the svcd as a vcd, i know in nero you can do this. most dvd players can play mpeg2 (svcd) but they look in the wrong dir for some reason. If it still wont work find a file called mpeg2codec_installer.zip and do bin -> mpg and then burn that as an vcd, garaunteed to work.

And cerial i for one think the hulk preview was worth ripping also, relevant and the only movie with it currently i think.

NIN convert it to a mpg and load it into the svcd option in NERO and make sure its set to NTSC in the compilation info option then burn and it should be fine

i guess im just an odd person, but if im watching an action/adventure movie, which i assume this is, i dont pay attenetion to boom mikes randomly showing up... i watched this release all the way through and other than the black bars changing sizes every once-in-a-while i didnt notice the boom mikes. i believe taht they are there, but come on, who cares

I think it's quite obvious that this is an open matte of a movie with a 1.85:1 aspect ratio. This is why boom mics show up and why the special effect sequences have a different aspect ratio. If the top and bottom had been cropped the way they were supposed to be you wouldn't notice these things.

The question is how come a movie theater is showing a movie open matte? It doesn't make sense.

GREAT

Wouldnt expect better this is a great release and its fare to say that ctp ownz the TS seen because they are releasing more and more movies every week its great to see them back to what they used to be like

acid_rain I already tried that and still wont play. I am getting very frustrated.

this thread is currently at 90 posts. i just couldnt let it get to 100 without mentioning to all of you this is NOT a SVCD. this is a XSVCD with a NON-STANDARD resolution of 768x567 as opposed to a standard SVCD resolution of 480x567. i am surprised nobody picked that up from the jpg's even.

if it was encoded as a SVCD it most likley would have fit on 2 CD's but since it is a XSVCD with a much higher than standard resolution it had to be stretched across 3 CD's.

and by the way i am inclined to go along with the workprint theory because the AR does indeed change throughout the movie and at some points you even see a boom mic fall into the frame.

despite these things that some people consider short comings this is a very good looking release.

Apex is hardly the best DVD player for playing SVCD. But I agree, kids need to buy a decent player and stfu.

DOES ANYONE GIVE A FUCK. no gives a FUCK what u r going to do with tmpeg and a few hours of ur time. you dont need to come on here and say "svcd is stupid because im too cheap to buy a apex dvd player" and then think u r cool that ur going to re-encode the release... i really doubt if Centropy cares whether or not ur going to encode it to vcd or asf of divx or whatever format u feel like pulling out of ur ass.

At first I thought all the ppl saying it was a wp were idiots, but after watching the whole movie i did notice the boom mic, so that totally changed my oppinion. I do not have any problems with that, but if it is a wp why doesnt ctp just label it that? Anyways Im not having any problems playing this (i have a Hitachi DVP-415U) and i thought it was an excellent rls. The whole disc swapping thing does not bother me and the switching AR isnt that bad either. Like Dumwaldo said I think it may be a XSVCD, that may be why there is so many compliance problems. Anyways great rls 9/9/8.5

Well i dunno wtf is wrong w/ u ppl.....but ppl praise ctp because they are a really good rls group....all you that bitch and complain you go fucken find this and rls it better than them, or go see it in theatres....its fucking FREE SO STFU BE HAPPY WITH ANYTHING YOU CAN GET fucken retards. And id like to see that this IS a good rls and im not going by the jpg's like some ppl

u people who keep sayin "its fucking free so dont bitch," thi is a forum. PEOPLE GIVE THEIR COMMENTS ON A FORUM. WE GIVE OUR INPUT ON WHAT WE THINK. SO IF ITS A SHITTY BOOTLEG WOULD YOU LIKE US TO SAY GREAT RELEASE FOR EFFORT. NO! WE TELL IT LIKE IT IS. IF SOMETHIN FUCKEd UP WE WILL CRITIQUE IT. I UNDERSTAND WE GET THIS FOR FREE BUT WE GOT A RIGTH TO SAY THIS RELEASE SUCKS ASS. THATS THE POINT OF THE FORUM. TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS WITH NO SUGAR COATING. GROUPS ENTER THE SCENE AND THEY KNOW PEOPLE WILL GIVE INPUT ON IT GOOD OR BAD. THAT HELPS THEM GET BETTER ALSO. dammit i hate people who constantly preach that gay ass saying every rls on this damn forum. PEOPLE MAKE BAD COMMENTS ON THE BOOTLEGS SO LIVE WITH IT!

AND YOU WILL C THAT AND THEN ITLL B ONE LESS CD. IM SURE THE QUALITY WILL B EXCELLENT AS ALWAYS FOR CTP BUT VCD SUITS THEIR TS's BETTER. THATS HOW IT IS AND THOSE WHO OPPOSE GIME ONE GOOD REASON WHY SVCD WAS BETTER FOR THIS MOVIE!
