If youve read all the last 80 posts, you win a toaster. They all kiss ass and essentially say the same thing. Everyone under 20 posts states the obvious fanboy scores. Vid is completely acceptable for the fast release but the sound is utter shit (mono?) for a TS, even if it is from the hearing impaired jack. Plug it in right, use a stero (not mono) cable, or goldwave it because you had a near perfect score from me had you not rushed it (when no group is near beating you to the race for quality ((wich is what matters in the long run)).

Blah, This Isn't A Dvd, I've Tried This On Multiple Tv's, Sound Outputs, Different Speaker Setups, Etc, Etc. Sound Isn't Perfect But Wtf You Expect? Stereo/Mono, Wuteva, Don't Matter To Me, I Made Out All The Audio/Speech Except For The One Part That Cuts Out For Me Towards The Beginning, Other Than That, The 4-10 Yr Old Kids @ My Work Could Make Out The Audio Fine & Enjoyed It Throughly. So Once Again, Thank You Again Sao, Blah Is My Answer To All Haters and Over Exteremists Of TS Expectations.

Had to turn it off before the end, the hissing sound is horrible. It seemed OK last night when I watched about 10mins on my portable TV in my bedroom but played it in the living room on my surround sound TV and the audio was just unbarable. the picture quality is great though. Pitty

I think I can forgive saosin though, they are still the best out there at the moment.

7 / 5 / 4

Stupid american dream story, seen that a hundred times ... sound had a constant hiss in it, video was a little shaky in the beginning, then watchable. Great "hit me baby one more time" feature

nice work saosin. expect better things from this group, and here we have it. a job well done!

video 8.0
audio 8.0
movie 7.0

This release is great but the audio needs to be fixed. Its very annoying. It sounds like every 2 minutes or so it gets clipped. This needs to be nuked.

Watch it and about halfway look and you will see the white mist crossing in front of the car then following it along the road and you will hear the weird noises. . . spooky!

HORRIBLE movie

This movie was atrocious, not funny in the least. There were maybe 2 or 3 moments in the ENTIRE movie that were funny...and that's when the robots were dancing. Other than that you just sat there in complete boredom waiting for the final credits to roll. As for the quality of the release, it was good...sound was fine after a run through goldwave.

V: 8

video is nice 7
audio is shit 5
movie is ok 6

6.5 out of 10

As far as cam movies go, this is pretty good and the best version out at the moment. You can't stop idiots from getting up and going to the toilet halfway through the movie and you cant stop some background noise now and then, so you make do with what you've got. Overall it's a 6.5 out of 10. SAOSIN have got a good cam release here...

Use U-LEAD DVD Movie Factory 3 (I prefer it over NeroVision Express) to convert to DVD, add chapters, and get the sound quality in AC3/Stereo and play through your Amplifier/decoder - I got no hissing at all

not bad, but audio does have a terrible hiss......
how do u fix this??? please can someone help me fix it??? thanks

Great when the audio's fixed

Video quality was remarkably good for a cam, save for the shaking at the beginning. Though if memory serves this is the same video used in the Spanish screener mentioned in the Oracle thread. The shaking and positioning appear to be identical. I wonder if SAOSIN is affiliated with the Spanish group. Meh.

Video: 8


Audio, as has been mentioned, is crap. Horrible clipping effects on top of a truly annoying high-pitched hum in the background. I managed to remove the hum and compensate for most of the clipping with Goldwave; I'll detail the process later if anybody wants to try the same. After I fixed the audio -- which wasn't a short process -- it was loads better, comprable to what I might expect out of a 2-head VCR. But pre-processing it sounded just barely better than CAM-quality.

Audio: 4


I haven't had time to watch the whole movie yet, so no rating on that. What I've seen so far has been enjoyable.

Movie: ?



So yeah, overall I think this was a decent effort by SAOSIN which could have been near-perfect had either a) the guy in the theater plugged into the hearing impaired jack properly, or b) someone encoding had taken half an hour to clean up the audio. There's really no reason why they shouldn't have done either of those. They obviously know how to do a TeleSync right; case in point: Hostage.



And, as promised, the process for cleaning up the audio. Open up both files (CD1 and CD2) and do these steps:

Step 1: Effect->Filter->Noise Reduction. On the Preset dropdown select "Reduce Hum". Hit OK. This will take a while.

Step 2: Effect->Filter->Smoother. Default settings are fine. Hit OK. This takes not too long.

Step 3: In the first file, select from position 22:03.444 to 22:04.476 and hit "copy". Then in both files go to Effect->Filter->Noise Reduction. Under "Reduction Envelope" select "Use Clipboard", then hit OK. This will take just as long as Step 1.

After you jump through all these hoops you'll get a much more enjoyable film. I know that damn hum was giving me a headache.

7.5/7.5/7.5

burned and viewed on a stand alone DVD player it's excellent but
played on PC on VLC media player missing PTS (presentation timestamps) causes the audio to drop out

watched this on the big screen last night.

video is very good - decent colors sharp video.

audio is acceptable, but there is a hiss thats a bit
annoying. I ran it through the tv speakers instead of
the 5.1 setup, since they don't have the same range and
the hiss isn't as apparent. Saosin has done much better
in this area in their other releases.

movie: was funny.. kids movie tho.

I shouldnt have to fix anythingh in a release, its the groups resonsibility. I will still download it with bad sound, but i will rate it accordingly unlike you bandwagoneers. The sound is sooo bad through my Yamaha it gives me headache, and because the movie has the lamest jokes ive ever (somewhat) heard i cant be bothered to fix it.
9/4.5/5 !
