If it was ac3, it's would be a nuke!

Posted by Darkness on 01-09-2003 02:41 PM:

Yea 135 kbps mp3 ?? sigh..

AC3 would have been great... oh well, still happy with the SVCD..

Posted by traumatek on 01-09-2003 03:10 PM:

out of interest,
whats the problem with 135 kbps mp3?
its vbr and it should be fine shouldn't it?

cheers Vite, look forward to checking this out....

How can anyone be saticfied with a release of a 3h film
on ONLY 2 CD:s??

It's a pity that ViTE can't get that a film of these proportions
should be at least on 2 CD:s.

If you have it only 2, you get bad vid + bad sound.

Posted by SSirhc on 01-09-2003 03:56 PM:

sample looks nice
a inytiny bit pixelation but what the hell
nice one ViTE

It is on 2 CD's you muppet.

Secondly, this is an Xvid release = Quality Compression.

well, ac3 is no nuke reason.. 3 cd may be a nuke reason :P (tho there are no rules for it imo)
but i remember how dvl solved it one year ago: a 2 cd mp3 release and an 3 cd ac3 internal

Posted by perra_himself on 01-09-2003 04:37 PM:

well what´s wrong wih AC3? =)))

with ac3 instead of mp3 and keeping this release at 2 cds it would have a video bitrate of about 657 (instead of 970 now) kbps and that would look... let's just say BAD

thus, as i said, if it was 3 cd, some rule-junkies would nuke it tho...

//spoo

Posted by vorbis on 01-09-2003 05:15 PM:

this is also divx. One of its main benefits is less space. 3 cds would be nearly as much as svcd!! Mp3 sound is pretty decent imo.

Posted by SpeedStar on 01-09-2003 05:53 PM:

Sorry, but Lord of the Rings with stereo sound is like watching it on a black and white TV. Ok, bad compare but if the P-DVD included an Dolby 5.1 Track please release it.
I think everyone who watched Fellowship of the Ring with an 5.1 System will agree!
I personally will not touch it till I got an ac3 track even if I have to wait for the retail DVD.

Posted by martienfou on 01-09-2003 06:50 PM:

its a dvd-scr not a p-dvd.. dont confuse.

vite did things by the rules.

only problem is sound is desynch in that one

its gotta be nuked probably.

Posted by PryXX on 01-09-2003 06:53 PM:

And it's nuked!
Audio out of sync, what a shame..

Posted by Jugalator on 01-09-2003 06:58 PM:

Nuked on nforce since it was apparently out of sync.

Oh well... I'll keep on waiting for a proper divx/xvid then.

Posted by napalmfuzz on 01-09-2003 07:00 PM:

well.. i dont care what kbps the sound is.. fact is vite beat TDi's ass.. the sound is SOOOOOO much better on this divx then on their svcd... and anyone that knows me.. knows it pains me to say that

never heard of a fix for out of synch audio?
maybe i am crazy

Posted by rothkox on 01-09-2003 08:19 PM:

ok,i am an idiot.
apologies.
just got the fix.

Posted by altimas on 01-09-2003 08:21 PM:

if I rerender it in virtual dub will it fix the sound? I used to fix some movie an idiot encoded on newzgroups.(You would be surprised how many GOOD releases people do themselves!(seriously)- sound of all skippy and video FPS was all jerky.
Cuz if I can just reencode it.. set it to direct stream copy, then its a ok release. It takes about 5 minutes to reencode a release this way.

The P-Dvd release WAS in 5.1 but not proper 5.1. It was just a stereo soundtrack split over all the channels.

Posted by 8tImER on 01-09-2003 10:17 PM:

quite obvious even

at least vite didn't have the limitation of sticking to 44.1 KHz

Ahwell, good enough for me, now i'm just waiting for the extended edition of TTT, seeing how great the extended edition of FOTR was

for anyone who has this one or plans to, open it in nandub,
set the video to 'direct stream copy' and set the audio interleaving > sync to -390
Save as and audio sync should be fixed. takes around 5 minutes as someone said.

The setting I've put is based on the sample. A more accurate one could be worked out from the full .avi as theres not much precise sound in the sample (also if its a framerate error then this wont help but it can still easily be done in nandub) if anyone could tell me if this is ok for the full film then please do (or give a better fix)

Posted by Dead_Cell on 01-10-2003 03:04 AM:

just a simple question..

everyone is saying its coded in all these different formats.. does it have Dolby 5.1?

Posted by ArchdemoN on 01-10-2003 04:01 AM:

at 7:48 of CD1, the scene with gollum, the screen pixelates to hell. bad encode on that scene.

they desync it, and cant even encode, bah.

they shud've let the masters do it, TCF/DVL.

Posted by ohm2k3 on 01-10-2003 05:07 AM:

so what's the story? is the video quality on this better than one the tdi release? and the sound has to be better...but is it worth downloading?

Posted by crob on 01-10-2003 09:33 AM:

No ohm2k3, it's not worth the download. I would wait, say, 9-10 months for the Retail DVD.

Trauma

I've got a more elegant solution at least for me no mucking with nandub. Use xbox media player sound sync function to resync the sound. Works a treat as for the screen pixelating at 7mins doesn't bother me 100x better than the TS's and preferable to 3.2 gig svcd. Get an xbox then playing mp4's is no longer a problem.

8/8/8

Say what you like about the sound it's better than TDI's.

What a load of monkey shit!

The one big release Vite had to get right and they blow it.

bad sync aweful encoding error's that wont let me redo in Vdub for my xcard.

UP YOUR AZZ VIte!

Posted by spanner on 01-11-2003 12:04 PM:

7:48 CD1 will not even play in my media players. Crashes them all! Dammit even DivFiX doesn't fix it! Are there any other tools to fix it?

Posted by FlyingBig on 01-11-2003 01:14 PM:

Is the Sync fix accurate? Other than the sound being outta sync this release blows the trunks off the TDI release. Thanks

how do you watch past the 7:48 glitch?

for me, both zoomplayer and wmplayer crash at that point??

earlier on this post was said that latest xvid codec seems to let you watch the whole movie with just that second looking... "strange"

Posted by traumatek on 01-11-2003 02:37 PM:

in answer to my own question. To remove the glitch, use nandub,
- go to the frames that give an error message in the message bar
- set selection start one or two frames before this (about 12229)
- move to the frame after the last error frame (about 12296)
- edit > delete frames
- save as new avi

If you cant find syncfix - fixrus
the nandub settings are:

VirtualDub.Open("ttt-cd1-xvid.avi", 0, 0);

VirtualDub.audio.SetSource(1);
VirtualDub.audio.SetMode(0);
VirtualDub.video.SetMode(0);
VirtualDub.audio.SetInterleave(1,500,1,0,-225);

VirtualDub.subset.Clear();
VirtualDub.subset.AddFrame(0, 126417);

VirtualDub.SaveAVI("ttt-cd1-fixed.avi");

VirtualDub.Close();

VirtualDub.Open("ttt-cd2-xvid.avi", 0, 0);

VirtualDub.audio.SetSource(1);
VirtualDub.audio.SetMode(0);
VirtualDub.video.SetMode(0);
VirtualDub.audio.SetInterleave(1,500,1,0,-225);

VirtualDub.subset.Clear();
VirtualDub.subset.AddFrame(0, 125319);

VirtualDub.SaveAVI("ttt-cd2-fixed.avi");

VirtualDub.Close();

Posted by rayfoo on 01-11-2003 03:24 PM:

Where to d/load the latest XVID codecs? And can someone do a batch file to fix the video glitch ?

Posted by kubomipixel on 01-11-2003 03:26 PM:

decetn

its pretty damn good. I dont know what the sync fix is all about seems perfectly fine to me.

although there is 2 freezes i had on cd 1.

7.48
54:59

ill try to delete them few frames. see if that works thanks

Posted by DJD4566 on 01-11-2003 04:14 PM:

WOO HOO the full movie on 2 disc hell yea this is the shit but im gonna re sync correctly myself then do an encode 2 vcd and see if that can get passed that bad pixelation scene every one is talking about alot of times encoding helps to get through the whole scene and plays better
"i'll be back"

Posted by kubomipixel on 01-11-2003 04:35 PM:

there we go

ok i fixed it no more crashes use nandub and use the slider (dont play at these parts or it will crash nandub only use the slider) to go to 7.42 make start selection then scroll to 7:46 make end selection and delete those 4 seconds.....then repeat the process for 54:40-54:50 then it wont crash the players at least on cd1 that is.....havent watched cd 2 but didnt hear of any errors

Posted by crob on 01-11-2003 04:41 PM:

Well, I used the Fixrus sync fix - and although CD1 is now fine, CD2 is still out of sync. Has anyone got the exact setting for nandub to get this into sync? (I've tried -225 and -390 but it's still not right)

Posted by johto on 01-11-2003 04:54 PM:

I fixed it ! I found out that the second file does not need "fix" !
So, the -225 that is done by the fix actually fucks it up.

Its easy to fix, you just need to re-fix it by 225, NOT -255 so it goes back to default

Posted by ZeroPower on 01-11-2003 05:56 PM:

hey traumatek, i used your instruction only how to save it? I mean audio, video full compresion mode or direct stream?

Both audio & video with direct stream...

Posted by grave_digga on 01-12-2003 04:03 AM:

Well, my first post her .

Solution for fix the 7:48 "hang" Problem:

Download this patch: Fix for LotR TTT VitE CD1 XviD

Read the NFO. You need Nandub for the Fix. The Audio fix is like other mentioned above. -225 is right.

Posted by ohm2k3 on 01-12-2003 07:01 AM:

my brother is having a problem playing this movie... he installed the 400 kb xvid_installer from

http://www.filemirrors.com/search.s...viD_Install.exe

and when he tries to play it in windows media player or bsplayer or power dvd, they all play it but when there's lots of motion, the picture drags across the screen and looks terrible....

what could this mean? he tried uninstalling that codec and reinstalling another one but that still doesn't work.

any ideas?

Posted by Pra3t0 on 01-12-2003 09:50 AM:

Re: there we go

Lotsa artifacting in the video. 970kbits/s (shudders) The FIXRUS patch worked for me. Audio is synced on both CDs now.

Posted by fateswarm on 01-12-2003 10:24 AM:

If I was vite, I'd made 1CD only for the sake of respecting the 4CD mpeg2 version and being honest my 1CD release would be only for kids with 14 inch monitors and very slow connections.

2 CDs for 3hour movies even with that crappy sound it's still only 900something kbits.

below 1000kbit is unacceptable. only people with 17 inch or below monitors can watch this crap.

on my 22'' that looked like a VCD.

(yes, I checked the actual files, I don't just rant)

Posted by altimas on 01-12-2003 10:45 AM:

Looks fine on a 17.. but if you have over 17" and actually watch movies, dont just download them, buy a video-card with a tv-out. On my 5+ year old Phillips tv(pretty damn good IMO) 27", even TS's look ok. just a bit blurry. But, I suppose if you have a HD-TV, then it may looks like crap.

You tried realplayer, plays fine for me in realplayer, not tried any other pc based media player as realone (I don't believe it has any post processing so pictue quality isn't as good as other players but once put through my tv outit's doesn't matter.) my default and it always works for my mp4. My xbox plays it beautifully on my tv, still the pixelation fault but less than a second and the rest of the disk 1 is perfect. Very good not seen postx 3 disk ac3 I think that would be better but this'll do me.

PS played green for me I used xvid avic (four cc changer) to change the cc from xvid to divx and it plays perfectly.

PS If this doesn't work reinstall your codecs and media player, etc.

It getting rather frustrating. I dont wanna download the dvd-r fomr IND causs aspect ratio is wrong, the REIGN dvd-r is too big. I JUST wanna fix this

Someone must have figured it out by now?

Posted by backoff on 01-12-2003 06:55 PM:

XViD doenst do this movie justice, I think it is DVD-R or SVCD or nothing, that is just my opinion, and no AC3 sound was a shock... I thought there would be. If you just want to watch it on the comp this is alright, but to watch it on a TV I would definitly get a SVCD release, no XViD.

I find most xvids far better then svcd due to the superior resolution.

XviD's resolution may be higher than SVCD but XviD's lower bitrate encoding causes a lot more degradation to the video. The resulting video looks worse than SVCD. Compare the two LOTR:TTT releases and you'll see TDi's SVCD release doesn't have the artifacting that ViTE's does. The XviD version looks like a string of medium-quality JPEGs whereas the SVCD version looks closer to DVD quality video.

fucking moron, tdi = vite vite = tdi

:: nope. tdi and vite are sister groups, rather than sharing the same members more than likely. most svcd groups have sister groups who release divx/xvid, they share the vobs.

Thats because its a 3 hour movie on 2 disks dumb ass.

If they had put it on 3 cds (f*ck cds I have a dvd writer and so should everyone else

)

it would be far superior

Alot of 2 hour movies with 1200-1400 video bitrate look well better then the shitty svcd versions.

when you zoom a super VCD to 16:9L on my TV it looks gay

Posted by desertboy on 01-14-2003 05:46 PM:

Right disk 2 wouldn't play in my xbox, fixed the problem. Should sort out any other problems people are having. Load the second part into virtualdub (Ticking the open extended options box which is in the left hand corner of the open file box.) you need to rederive the keyframes. I had to save the audio as a wav then recompress it (Which I did at 224Kbps, makes a 740meg file) tried to use virtualdub vbr mp3 wouldn't load the file nandub wouldn't either. After rederiving the keyframes the avi would load in either it was too late then of course, plays fine on the xbox now.
As for divx Vs. svcd well it's a difficult one. From my own personal experience a 1500kbit divx kicks the ass of a 2000kbit svcd. No wasteful encoding of black bars on widescreen for a start. 2000kbits isn't really enough for mpeg 2.

Mpeg 2 does kick the ass of divx at the high bitrates even 4000kbps+ dvd films are at least 4000kbps normally. Divx performs optimally at the lower bitrates. For me I rip everything unless it's particulay low motion at at least 1500Kbits with full ac3 sound track, for those of us with dvd writers its no need to try and fit it on a cd.

Divx/xvid (I have no preferences to which) gets a bad rep because of all these 1 cd shoddy rips kicking round. Don't blame the codec just because you can't encode.

PS my 2nd disk didn't have any audio sync probs don't know if someone had already fixed it.

PS my 2nd disk didn't have any audio sync probs don't know if someone had already fixed it.

heheh well said, we will convert that little SVCD Monkey

did anyone notice the dark green coloured artifacts staining every once in a while?

this was obvious at edoras when the people are leaving, their is a patch of grass that looks far greener, but for no reason.

atleast thats what my xcard shows

anyone noticed how vite sounds alot like shite

Question

virtual dub requires a video for windows /vfw/ compatible codec to decrompess video. DirectShow codecs such as those used by windows media player aint suitable

this is the error when trying to fix it, what am i doing wrong except fixing it like the nfo said.

confusing

Yes these green colours are also shown at my television.. every once in a while.. <- and no people its not a codec problem!!

must be a bad encode... DVL should make this with ac3, Internal..

certainly is munken.

I would say its more like a wash that hangs around then suddenly vanishes.

doesnt destroy the rip though, although it is poor form from vite.

but its xvid not divx5, and my xcard is a hardware player of xvid.

I think these smart ass froups are using the later updates of xvid rather then the original release.

Im getting the postx with ac3 sound. Will comment on video quality between the two since postx has ac3 so it will sound far superior on my pseudo 5.1 system(4.1+ 2.1.. using 1 chan for center)

cool I have a TV with 5.1 built in please post on the newsgroups and I will suck your dick

simple fix for ttt-xvid-vite

heres a simple answer to a lot of the questions regarding sync, glitches, shitty sound, shitty picture, crashing, etc etc,
save youself the headache, delete this, and download the postx 3cd with ac3 sound release.

thats not intended to sound like a smart-ass comment, but why spend hours fucking around with this, when there is another release out with none of the problems of this one, plus better audio and video to start out with, so go get it! and dont flood out my bot fuckers!!

Posted by cico on 01-17-2003 12:13 AM:

actually everybody says that vite's 3 cd-ac3 (internal) version is much better than postx's one...

Posted by backoff on 01-17-2003 02:58 PM:

SVCD will be better than DiVX or XViD because DiVX and XViD have more pixelation and are more compressed, so you lose video quality. I get DiVX and XViD a lot, but not on a release like this. I would definitly go with SVCD on this and other GOOD movies that you like. There is nothing wrong with DiVX or XViD other than the pixelation that they ALWAYS have pixelation when they are in a room with little light in it. If you are watching it on your comp get DiVX or XViD otherwise go for SVCD.

Ill try once I get it. The bot that has it keeping going offline. Search for "two towers ac3" without the quotes. But please dont "suck my dick" fag. :P

Posted by psychotic_bread on 01-18-2003 09:12 AM:

hmm with the fix cd1 didnt crash...but after that part the audio gets out of sync...how can i fix that??
cd2 isnt out of sync but there are i think about 2 spots in it which crash.....do i fix that by just deleting the corrupted scenes?? thanks...

Posted by dopeuser8 on 01-19-2003 07:52 PM:

Just curious about this, the type of glitches on this is where some of thew pixel colors dont match, or turn black or green, and trails are left as an object is moving, and crashing, not that its thru the whole movie, but just for a couple of seconds on 2 spots, I noticed more of the xvids/divx Im playing lately have these odd glitches, ESPECIALLY since I installed the ffdshow files to watch Red Dragon XVID..... anyone else notice MORE of these glitching problems since installing ffdshow (build 20021213). (Even though red dragon was totally unwatchable without installing it)

Posted by altimas on 01-20-2003 03:00 AM:

Well after watching a few minutes of the postx ac3, they both are pretty similar in video quality. Totaly watchable a few feet back(can't see compression errors) and up close it is also fine but going a few feet back makes it look like a perfect dvd. I still like the postx version better because of my 5.1 computer speaker setup . Maby when my parents decide to get some 5.1 on the tv then I will actually buy dvds, beside music dvds. Or when I get out of this hellhole called home.

Well for one you thought about using kazaa. 2nd of all you actually did try to download from kazaa. Look, I can see your new, but for god sakes just click on the freakin release you want, and see how thers a reviews and download? How the hell could you miss that?

Posted by Skribble on 01-21-2003 09:51 PM:

Used Nandub to patch my 2 disk Xvid, now no hanging at 7.50 and sound is in perfect sync! Apart from the cock ups i think its a damn good rip!

Skrib....

Posted by Kane2k on 01-22-2003 09:41 PM:

Dopeuser8 ... I installed ffdshow for red dragon as well and then saw what my other movies looked like.. i seriously dislike that filter and its now gone from my computer.. i would suggest doing the same on yours.

As for the movie itself I grabbed the 3cd PostX internal release and I was very impressed. The movie has a lot of large scale panning and the postx SBC encode is done properly so that the bitrate can keep up. I don't really see how ViTE's release could be much better since a properly ripped SBC DivX 3.11 is on par with an XViD rip of the same bitrate( theres poeple who say one is better and theres others who claim different, I can't tell the difference myself). Of course, the ac3 audio was what I was really after, and no release group that can manage to create rar files could fuck up ac3 ( I hope, I mean seriously... ).
A lot of people seem to misunderstand XViD/DivX and the concept of average bitrate... a low average bitrate can be fine for a movie that has a lot of dialogue scenes and such, the codec automatically assigns a low bitrate to those scenes then boosts it when the shit hits the fan. 970 kbps would be fine for many movies but not this one.. theres just too much motion and the scenes are very visually complex. As far as SVCD being better than DivX/XViD... don't make me laugh. Follow the logic here.. people say that DivX/XViD(mpeg4) is too high of a compression so it doesnt give as good a picture. All compression means is that for a given amount of compressed video data you can get a given amount of uncompressed video data. mpeg4 is higher compression than mpeg2 (SVCD), which is higher compression than mpeg1( VCD). So with an equivalent bitrate svcd is better than VCD... and mpeg4 movies are better than SVCD because they contain more information about the video data. It's very simple. Lets not even mention the fact that SVCDs are 480 x 480 which means that for a widescreen movie you have 2 black boxs on top and below the video.. these boxes themselves dont take up much bitrate... unfortunately maintaining a crisp clean line that transitions from full motion movie to complete darkness does take up a significant amount of bitrate so essentially you end up with a 480 x 200ish movie, which sucks, and you give up bitrate to maintianing the letterbox.. which also sucks.

Posted by Vorum on 01-25-2003 12:08 AM:

OK, i know i'm dumb, but...

OK, i know i'm dumb, but i found out how to load the fix patch while in Nandub, but when i loaded it, i got a Sylia script error stating "Member 'audio2' not found" Can someone please tell me how to fix this so i can patch the movie, PLEASE!!!!!

Posted by The Ironduke on 01-27-2003 03:52 PM:

I got the 1 disk DVDr which is more then good enough for my 28" widescreen TV.

DIVX let me down on this one..........Bastards

Posted by LTech221 on 01-28-2003 07:02 AM:

Im having problems joining the Postx 3cd version of TT. Im using nandub and direct stream copy, when i do either disc 1 & 2 they are joined fine with no problems, or i do disc 2 & 3, same thing no problems. But once i try to add Disc 1 or 3 to the previous 2 files and try to play it, it plays but i cant skip around or any player, BSPlayer, PowerDivx, WMP9/6, or WinDVD Platinum will close or give me an error message saying it cant be played, the audio will cut out or be badly out of sync if it plays, when I know all are in perfect sync. Any suggestions?

Posted by moesyzlak on 02-02-2003 11:51 PM:

I'm a newbie when it comes to this stuff, so bear with me. I have DLed this version and I'm trying to convert it using TMPGEnc so I can get it on a VCD. I have the sound fixed version, BTW. Every time I try to convert the video goes out (the audio seems intact) during the scene when Frodo and Sam first scuffle with Gollum. Is this a common problem? I saw in some earlier posts that some people were having trouble at around the 7 or 8 minute mark, which would be about where my problem is. Is there a fix?

Note: the video does not go out when viewed on Windows Media Player; only when trying to convert.

- edit > delete frames
- save as new avi

If you cant find syncfix - fixrus
the nandub settings are:

VirtualDub.Open("ttt-cd1-xvid.avi", 0, 0);

VirtualDub.audio.SetSource(1);
VirtualDub.audio.SetMode(0);
VirtualDub.video.SetMode(0);
VirtualDub.audio.SetInterleave(1,500,1,0,-225);

VirtualDub.subset.Clear();
VirtualDub.subset.AddFrame(0, 126417);

VirtualDub.SaveAVI("ttt-cd1-fixed.avi");

VirtualDub.Close();

VirtualDub.Open("ttt-cd2-xvid.avi", 0, 0);

VirtualDub.audio.SetSource(1);
VirtualDub.audio.SetMode(0);
VirtualDub.video.SetMode(0);
VirtualDub.audio.SetInterleave(1,500,1,0,-225);

VirtualDub.subset.Clear();
VirtualDub.subset.AddFrame(0, 125319);

VirtualDub.SaveAVI("ttt-cd2-fixed.avi");

VirtualDub.Close();

There ya go detailed instructions from traumatek. in this post jus need ta look m8

GOD DAMN IT !!!

I downloaded the nandub crash fix for the first scuffle scene with Gollum which worked fine but it didn't cure the other crash where you first encounter Wormtongue (or whatever his name is) in Rohan.

I've edited out this part with virtualdub but when I try to save it it gives me a error message saying it's being used by another fucking process !!!

What am I doing wrong ???

I'm seriously considering downloading another version of this.
