Just follow Mr. Plow's original instructions, except instead of using the NTSC SVCD template, use the template for NTSC VCD.

You have got to be kidding!

Is Outrage_Display the only guy that watched the CTP copy? Thanks for the post, just wish I did not have to sort through 100+ messages of BS!

First, as always, thanks got out to CTP and all other groups!

Picture quality is much better then any other release. There are some really bright spots but nothing to be worried about. The sound on the other had has problems. The scene where Obi talks to the four armed dude looses volume for like 2 mins. There are pops here and there and in some scenes it will loose synce for 2-3 seconds.

I have all of the other SW 2 releases and by far this is best. If you must have a copy of this movie then CTP (as usual) is your best bet. Is it perfect? No.

If you are troubled by my post or think I am bashing CTP you are simply wrong. The whole point (from my limited understanding) is to give people a heads-up on the quality. If I have detered someone from taking up bandwidth to get a release they are not happy with then I have done some good.

i'm starting to like centropy svcd form...for some reason the svcd's have no sync problem like the vcd's did on my apex but the svcd's do come with another problem (very small one)...some points in the movie i get a flash of colored garble but its very quick and most of the time it in the black box at the bottom of the screen and in starwars it only happend maybe 3 time on each cd...it happend a lot in spiderman though.

what part of the film is missing from this centropy release?this is the first time i've seen the film.

oh yeah and the quality is pretty good in this release,good color and not much of that annoying blue problem most centropy releases have but some parts of the film turn out very bright cause a bright blur but it seems to fix itself after a few seconds.sound is great but for one part of the movie where the sound gets very low on and off for about 3 minutes.

ok, i got and watched it, and it is not as bad as some people make out, although i dont believe it warrented a SVCD.

Also, all those saying how crap the movie is, you obviously didn't pay all that much attention to the storyline, although i didn't like how it was based on the love of Anakin and Padmé, there are allot of significant events leading upto the beginning of the rise of Dark Sith, all in all i thought the storyline was much more developed and thought out than Episode I was.

p.s. Yoda Rulez & i am not a starwars finatic in any way

this release is great

first post, just wanted to touch base. this release is much clearer, then previous releases. sound is alittle crackly, but over all great on a digital surround system. the only set back it the brightness in some parts of the movies, the brights seem alittle blinding at times. but a solid 8 on pic, and sound, 9 on the movie itself. and I also noticed someone stating that it is missing the ending, not true. it is complete all the way to begining of credits. (note, however you dled it, you downloaded an uncompleted file). well. anyways. centropy rocks, along with every other group that brings us the releases on a day to day basis. Ive seen crappy copies, and i seen excellent, but when the day was done, its all good. enjoy.

Well first off... This is a Centropy SVCD so its obviously gonna be good... Don't even bother with the "unwatchable" FTF...I mean it is "Free"...but, the FTF hurts to watch...I am glad Centropy released there SVCD... I m not like sucking up to Centropy or anything...Just stating facts that they are one of the best release groups out there...Enough said...

I really don't understand what some people are bitching about.

I burned and played it on my Apex DVD player and watched it on my 32" RCA and the quality was superb. I didn't have any problems with the picture or the audio in any of the 3 CD's.

This release is by far the best one around. Props still go out to the other groups but I will have to say that Centropy has done it again.

Great job CTP. I'm looking forward to many more high quality releases from your group...

well, not counting that 60-field (or whatever) PAL, 24fps film tranlates to NTSC with no (or microscopicly little) change in speed. yeah, it's got pulldown, but that won't matter until EVERYONE has a HDTV with 720/1080p screens, now will it?

motion would be smoother on sports games...

yeah, PAL is progressive... but, granted you see this, what are your reasons for liking PAL better? (i'd come up with more, save for the fact i need some sleep for the day....)

I didn't say that i thought PAL was better, i know not enough about PAL and NTSC to compare the two, which is why i asked.

I know the basics such as different resolutions, frame rates, PAL is progressive NTSC is interlaced, ect, but little beyond that.

Edit: The standard here is PAL, this may have nothing to do with the two standard but the colors in NTSC always seem to be a little dull in comparrison to PAL.

Quite the opposite actually.

Due to PAL's reversal of sub-carrier phase on alternate lines, any phase error will be corrected by an equal and oposite error on the next line, thus correcting the original error. PAL achieves accurate color through cancelling out phase differences between the two signals. The act of cancelling out errors reduces the color, or should I say coulour

, saturation while holding the hue stable.

In other words PAL colours appear more consistant, but NTSC colors are more vibrant.

We are straying OT here though, maybe someone should start a new thread.

there was some fuzz as if someone was fixing a wire and the sound would come on and off at times, this was like in the 30minutes of CD1... as someone said they had this the first week FTF release their copy.. maybe Centrophy should of help FTF get some boosts in tha ratings by giving them their copy

Posted by maxmouse1 on 05-25-2002 06:34 PM:

To find out how to hack the apex, check out http://www.nerd-out.com/ (Apex info pages) first, then go to the apex dvd yahoo group here at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/apex_dvd/

Now, we can all stop going OT w/ the PAL/NTSC debate (me included), I think.. FWIW, Mine is:

Aud: 7.5
Vid: 8.5
Movie: 7.0

This was a good one from CTP, not their best, but their best is frikkin awesome, isn't it! Definitely worth the D/L IMHO...
