Alright, lets not all kiss Centropys ass at 1 time. Yes, I do love Centropy, but open your ears and eyes here ppl.

The sound is not the greatest, it cracks at points and then lowers in tone, then goes back to normal . Most ppl are tone deaf to this just b/c Centropy rlsed this SVCD. Yes, they did a GREAT job on the pic and audio, but this is a major flaw in my book for this great movie.

Video: 8.5
Audio: 7.9
Movie: 9.8

I'm going to expand on my earlier request for a comparison to the proper release. I found the proper release to have so-so sound and was rather dark -- almost impossible to see -- in the darker sections such as the Yoda kicking ass and the sneaking up on Tuskens.

For anyone who has seen both, is this version significantly better in these areas?

It is a step-by-step rundown of how to do it. The only thing I would recommend you do differently is to split the audio & video first, decompress the audio to .wav, and then do the re-encode w/ the two separate files.

Good Luck!

Hey, thanks for the tips! I must have missed that tut. I do a have a minor problem though... when I try to load the sample mpeg from EPII into TMPGenc it won't open it/invalid file...This has happened with the Spiderman and EPII mpegs from CTP. Any advice on how to solve that problem? Heheh...

Thanks again

TMPEGnc

I encoded the movie with the ntsc template like I usualy do with the svcd and divx movies that I download, but with this version of episode2 , the mpg1 file came out like almost 2 seconds out of SYNC......what should I do

Sounds like maybe you don't have the MPEG2 codec loaded on your PC.

Either d/l & install a software DVD player (like PowerDVD or WinDVD) or install a codec pack that has the MPEG2 codec in it - bgPop or maybe Krystal Studio. Not sure about those codec packs, like which one has the codec you need - look on http://www.vcdhelp.com & see what they say/have available for d/l...or maybe someone will follow up in this thread.

I just finished my disk one d/l - review to follow shortly!

You need to get the PAR files for the set and also get a PAR utility - I recommend Fluid Studio's Raid Toolkit - FSRaid.

Once you got all that, put the PARs in the same directory as your RAR files, open the first PAR file w/ FSRaid & the program will fix any corrupt files for you.

Good luck dude,

I have the same problem with TEMGenc. None of the files can be read into program to convert. Please someone who has conveted either Spiderman oe SWE2 post comments on this. In therory and by all directions I have seen this should work but it does not.

This is Centrpy's worst svcd release yet...like said earlier sound at times is unstable the bright scenes are horrible......should of been never made a svcd, the quality difference would be so minimal..what a few pixels damaged?....waste of a 3rd disc, i'll convert to vcd anyway

Centropy? Where?

I can't find the files anywhere (sorry new to this) I found a version but its like 352x240 and pretty crappy.
Can anyone tell me what TMD and SMR stand for and does TC stand for telecine? 'cause none of the pictures I have seen look like they have been converted through telecine.
If anyone could give me an e-mail at [email protected] or a hint it would be appreciated.

1st off, this is not a bitch. I am tickled pink to be able to DL this movie months before it is released for home viewing. And yes I have already payed my $ and seen it in the Theater as any discerning movie lover would.

The info re: PAL & NTSC is pertinant and useful to many, so don't be so quick to whine about people whining. And please don't turn this into a PAL is better than NTSC thing. They both have their advantages. In a perfect world we would have NTSC's frame rate with PAL's Scanning lines. But the world simply isn't perfect.

I'm not sure that I'm buying the AR explaination though. To me it seemed that Spider-Man was stretched horizontally, where as SW2 is stretched vertically. If this were simply a PAL/NTSC thing wouldn't both be stretched on the same axis equally. Being that the PAL SVCD standard is wider than NTSC, I could buy that Spider-Man was simply PAL encoded. But SW2 on the other hand is going to look anmorphically distorted even on a PAL system. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have watched as 3 other versions of this movie were offered on the net and passed them all by. This was the one that got me DLing. WTB Centropy!!! Keep up the great work.

TMD = TheMovieDepot
SMR = ShadowMovieRealm
they are both divx encoding groups.

Yes, TC stands for telecine.

1. Download a mpeg2 codec you can find it on vcdhelp.com.

2. Then you should convert your bin/cue file to a mpeg file, use vcdgear. CD1 will give you 2 mpeg files, the first one is the centropy animation, the second one is the movie.

3. Then reencode the mpeg file with TMPGenc with the Super-Video CD NTSC template (it should take a few hours).

4. Burn the new mpeg file with nero using the svcd ntsc.

5. Enjoy this great release

The quality is alright for a early rip I guess - but not worth wasting neither space or bandwidth on !

Yeah, I'm playing it on a PAL 28" Sony Trinitron widescfeen with a Wharfedale 750S DVD player and it does look stretched vertically... however, if I switch the TV from 4:3 to full widescreen mode it looks just about right... which is actually pretty cool and suits me fine

i agree. this is not one of Centropy's better releases. picture isnt that clear. but it is way better than any other previous release of this movie. too many idiots rate the movie by the screenshots

vcd vs. svcd

Hey, Mr. Plow, great directions on how to convert it from pal to nstc. Now, I don't suppose you can add a couple lines about how to convert it from SVCD to VCD?
