1st, judging by TDi's rips of We Were Soldiers and Narc (I dont have every single TDi release) the ac3 5-channel audio is being converted to mp2 2-channel audio using only the front left and front right from the AC3, the reason I say this is the dialogue in both these movies are barely audible, but the sound effects are super loud. This is pretty much what would happen if you unhooked the center channel on your dolby digital system and played a dvd with 5.1 sound.
If you take the bad mp2 audio, and try to 'normalize' it with filters or whatever, basically you got to turn the super loud effects down to the level of the dialogue and other missing center channel info. Resulting in a very low volume overall with acceptable sound quality, but noticable distortions.
The better solution... learn to use the programs your using properly, and rip the shit properly from the start.
This isnt supposed to sound like a 'flame', just constructive critisism.

this makes alot more sense to me. i think you are right.
but then again... if you turn the volume up a bit....then its great when the music or effects kick in...... i gues my neighbours wont like it tho..

well..... for now this is the best until the dvd comes out.. coz these kind of movies are best on a original dvd.

Good Job !

Good job, image quality is really good but sound is not excellent.

A little bit hard to download

Hope someone will make a more compress version soon.

Oh yeah by the way, i know where they got this so quickly

you see,if it says 'for your consideration', then that means this was intended for one of the judges on the academy, you know, the OSCARS!!

-i know, cause i know someone on the academy

I just finished watching CD1, and the only problem was the low audio. But I easily fixed that by turning my volume up a little higher than usual. That metalic hiss that everyone was talking about was inaudible on my Samsung TV.

Great job, TDi. Keep up the great work!

I guess it depends on your equipment, but i personally had absolutely no problems with this release. Video is perfect and audio is fine. I'll admit the audio is pretty low, but when i put it up higer on my system there isnt really any noticeable distortions, etc. I also never heard the "metallic sound" or whatever, not saying some of u r lieing, probably just varies from person to person. Anyways great rls, quick, and very good quality.

9/9/gonna watch it tommorow night.

p.s. this is not judging on the sample, but on discs 1 and 2.

Damn

OK, I use the FTP's, Newsgroups and XDCC and I cant get this shit for days after its release. I wish I were one of you people... So whenever I get it I will comment on quality. If you have annoying sound you may be able to take it off with the hiss or noise reduction options in Cool Edit Pro 2.0. Just use the preview to see if the sound is good enough. Loved this movie and am gonna have a bitch time to download 4 fuckin CDs.

backoff, read the tutorials here about newsgroups and irc. I got cd 2 off of a news group, downloading cd 1 now, and am finishing cds 3 and 4 off of irc. It's not hard if you look, started about 5 p.m. local time, should have them all by midnight or so. Probably head to bed, and finish tomorrow. All in less than one day.

LMFAO!!! BWAHAHAHA... love your sig.

BTW, TDI kicks ass!!! Great release, can't wait to burn it and watch it.

Great release.

Video quality from the sample (kind of hard to tell, best to see from dvd player) is at least 9. Audio - on computer there's a hiss that everyone's talking about, can't see it interfering too much, once again it will probably be better to see on a dvd player first.

So for now:

9/8/9

Good flick. Get this one.

If anyone here remembers LOTR2 well, see if you can answer this question.

What part shows Gandoff(sp) falling far down and fighting with the dragon? I download the sampel and it showed Gandoff showing himself and saying he fought at the highest peeks and slayed the monster. Then it shows the monster on the snow top fighting and then dying. I thought it showed him falling down far then that.

Any thoughts?

Sound

Movie looks great. I heard the sound is kinda schetchy or something. I haven't had time to download the sample.

I think you are right too dopeuser8. After watching the whole release, I had no problem with the audio really other than the fact that the conversation and dialogue are quiet compared to the rest of the sound effects. Who knows if this was on the DVD itself or it was the result of the encoding, but I just turned up the amp a bit and it sounded great. Like someone else said, maybe the neighbours didn't like it too much, but it never caused a problem for me.

To carry on other the thought from other people's posts on this thread, after all this bitching about the dvd screeener not coming out for the last week or two, I think TDi should be given the credit they are due for releasing a high quality release like this and TDi has proven that they are the cream of the crop for 2003 and their merge with ViTE has been a great move for the scene in general. And NO... I am not affiliated with TDi in the slightest.... just appreciate what people bring to the scene.

The very opening of the film is the scene with GanDALF fighting the Balrog while falling into the pit.

That was in the beginning of the film (in Frodo's dream). The sample is from a different part when Gandolf meets up w/ the others(non-dream).

Posted by Medievalchimp on 01-09-2003 06:50 AM:

I just viewed the sample and I must say this is absolutely beaitful the audio sounded fine to me...but I agree its a tid bit low but nothing raising the volume up cant do I rate the sample 9/9 so hopefully the rest of the video is like that but i'll wait until i see the whole thing to cast my vote anyway thanks again TDI

That takes place in the very beginning of the film. Gandalf is only retelling his story when you hear him speaking with Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli.

The scene you are thinking of is the opening scene after the pan of the mountains. Where Gandolf falls of the little bridge and fights the dragon as he falls down a long time, then Frodo wakes up.

What is everyone bitching about the sound for? I watched the movie just now, and it is a beautiful video encode, and i hear no problems whatsoever with the sound...

Posted by DaGamePimp on 01-09-2003 07:07 AM:

those of you playing on your PC don't use PowerDVD to play , it seems to create more noise than is actually there . Plays fine on WMP and WinDVD . Tried several different standalone DVD players too and the cheap little KOSS portable plays it the best [even better than the APEX ] ... go figure ???
