Sexy, Dangerous, Seductive ... 3 top Q's

For first Online copy , you couldnt have asked for a better TELESYNC.

SAOSiN is once again rising to the occasion !

From the bit i seen so far the picture is clear & crisp , AR looks great and sample on my tv sure sounded like DTS to me. Black n White movie so hard to tell , compaired it vs the online trailer and SAOSiN looks pretty dead on.

Props SAOSiN , keep em comming !

9/9/9

::| Edit |:: Just finished watching this movie , what an excellent movie , i loved it ! Kinda reminds me of a cross between comic books & the crow (my opinion) , definatly putting this on DVDR and watching it a few more times. Two Thumbs up !

People will prob comment on this;
CD1 & CD2 = bin/cue
CD3 = mpeg

difference ? ... not much , burn CD3 as a datacd ! , i couldnt care less

Perfect telesync of this movie , im gonna laugh at anyone who nukes this (as you know they will still leech it), also ... if SAOSiN dont repack , whos gonna proper SAOSiN without using their own sound & picture ?

v:9.a:9:m9

Great video!
Great audio!
Great movie!
Great early pre!
Great group!

I guess its Great!

wow, amazing quality
Just when I thought you guys were great, you' re topping yourself with this release.

9.5/9/?

[NUKE] [Sin.City.TS.SVCD-SAOSiN] [REASON:not.bin.cue]

omg ,u damn nukers ,u must find some girlfriends...u are so assholes

Nice one..... 9/10

Wow, can't believe how fast this is out. Exactly the film i wanted to see from the group i was hoping to release it Does it get any better?

From viewing sample and first 5 rar's

Video - Is very nice! What weve come to expect from Saosin really! Is black & white as mentioned before so color issues aren't too much of a problem. Is maybe a little dull and dark around the edges. The crop is fine, and there is no tilt at all from what i saw Overall at this early stage is as good as it could get.

Audio - nice, crisp and clear. Love that DTS track.

Movie - will be watching tonight, so will update..............but cmon we all know this film is gonna be good

9/9.5/*

[UNNUKE] [Sin.City.TS.SVCD-SAOSiN] [REASON:nevermind]

awesome picture quality, sound is top notch too

9/9/?

wont bother downloading this one just yet, bought a load of DVDs yesterday that i have to work though first!

Put the sample in standalone and I doubt even a TUN TC could improve on this release.

If SAOSiN can keep this up with other releases (that aren't B+W) then i'm sure people will start forgetting CTP and loving their successor, but thats IF they can keep this quality up.


overall, 9/9/movie doesnt really appeal to me.

So CD3 isn't Bin/Cue.. so what, everyone probably burns with Nero anyway so just use their SVCD step-by-step for it it takes like 30secs longer,

/me applauds this work.

black and white? umm why? how can you rate a movie that they didnt even record in color?

:: I thought Dwaggy made up this quote! Lovely. -K::

judging from sample, another great TS. The sound is dead on, great DTS track. The sample only had b/w scenes none of the random color scenes but it still looked very good, didn't see any problems with cropping.

I'm really impressed with this release, sound and video are exceptional aswell as the movie

Video: Very clear, one of the best telesyncs released, superb

So is it a vcd or svcd ?
info says one, forum has it listed as the other

Just watched this in the theatre last-night, then got this release today. Good quality, 8/8 - 8.5-9 for the movie, really enjoyed it. But if you've got the cash to spare and you really want to enjoy this movie, go to the theatre because nothing but going or a dvd copy will do this movie justice.

Great work though SAOSIN, please keep them coming.

hmm yea now i realize the movie is black and white, hey least i didnt complain like most of you guys do about every movie that comes out

SAOSiN Kicks Asses
very high quality TELESYNC and so fast.... i am impressed!

Hello folks!

Damn, how much is/was the camera SAOSiN makes this awesome telesyncs with???

The quality is greeaat, craaaazy, you can't find words for that!

Greetings GPhil

V = 8
A = 9
P = x

God damn, this looks very nice, one of the best ive ever saw, framed perfect, crystal clear, and could easily pass as a TC.

Audio is good though i dont think its DTS, a bit too much distortion, but very audible.

CD3 is not a problem for me or most others, but theres a repack anyway.

9/8/?

Best telysync release this year damn near perfect,and the repack's here also.

The trailer for the movie itself is stunning.

Just wondering how this release is going to look if the color sequences are absent
(kinda adds more impact and surreal effect). Until a better release comes along, can't see why this version is worth
the download even if everything else about it is near perfect.

Keep Them coming SAOSIN.

Hell - my Philips DVD player accepts raw mpeg anyway!. That's one bin/cue I don't have to convert with isobuster!

Synchron

everything was excellent! Keep up the good work

Not much to say except 10/10/10 and that hopefully Frank Miller can get more of his old projects to the big screen. Thanks, Saosin.

I think I'll go re-read The Dark Knight Returns now.

edit: I was about to enter my 10/10/10 vote on the main page, but apparently that gets your voting priviledges revoked, even if it deserves those scores.

Un-fucking-believable!

It's a trick of the eye that B&W looks crisper than colour, but Saosin would have nailed it regardless. Oh yeah, pacattack81, I *HOPE* you were joking

This is the best TS I've ever seen.

I've only watched the first CD, but the movie looks like it deserves a brilliant copy like this.

9/9/9

8/10/9


Am I crazy or did I just hear an ICQ uh-oh at 10 minutes 06 seconds into the movie? That's bizarre, can anyone explain?

Great picture. Is it me or is the sound mono? I mean it's very clean and direct, but i get no stereo sound from it. Anyways 9/7(mono)/8

Once again..great work. Like I said before, what separates SAOSIN from any other group, including Maven, Videocd and CTP, is how they just have no problem with the dark movies or dark scenes in a movie.. If these guys show some consistancy over a long period of time, they have to be considered the BEST !!

Well considering its a quick release and of decent quality , imma have to give it 9/9/10

Loved the movie. and good job to you saosin

Nice Coat !!!

Or a CAM / ArmChair Jack / Drive In Jack audio , cause untill the DTS2 disks get cracked , those are the options

Ill take this audio over a CAM or a STN plug in jacked audio anyday

V:9
A:8.5 (I am really missing the DTS days)
M:7

I admit, never read the comics. I guess it would have been a better movie for me if I understood the author/story a little better.

9/9/10 this is a fairly dark movie,was very surprised on how well this release looks,and the speed

9/9/10 - I haven't ever watched a movie first-time on TS before, but because I was so amped for this, because SAOSiN made such a good job of it (it being predominantly black and white didnt hurt things), and because I would otherwise have to wait another 2 months to see it at the cinema, I went ahead and downloaded this (re-merged and burned to dvd), and was *not* dissapointed - they will get my cash come June 1st when it gets a theatrical release here, and again when theres a DVD out - I'm speechless tbh about the movie itself - its like nothing I have ever seen before - theres certainly nothing with which to compare it - good stuff

It almost seems, that at this point, Saosin is mainly competing with themselves when it comes to TS's. I have noticed in people's posts they judge the quality of the Saosin releases by comparing them to the previous Saosin releases! They have set a high standard for themselves with quality release after quality release. All of us can only hope they continue.

This movie surprised me. I wasn't expecting much, but it is actually very good. Better by far than 99% of the crap Hollywood produces these days.

Overall 9/9/9.5

Thank you Saosin! Looking forward to the next one!

i registered just to thank SAOSIN for there good work 9/9/9.9

"Nothing says OBEY ME like a severed head on a fence post,"

Well, I watched the much anticipated "Sin City" last night. I can honestly say that is the most violent movie i have ever seen. Remember the overkill death scenes in Kill Bill. Its like that... on crack. There were more dismemberments than Saving Private Ryan, and beheading that would make the Highlander cringe. Not just with a sword either. one guy uses a hacksaw!

*SPOILERS*














Elijah Wood's character was cool, even though he had women's heads mounted on his wall, and ate their bodies alongside of his dog/wolf. Bruce Willis even pulls one guys entire package off with his bare hands! EEWW.. Bruce Willis, and Jessica Alba were the only two characters that i actually liked. They didnt really expand on anyone else. Who needs character development when you have all those guns and blades? I found myself getting bored despite all the killing, and was looking forward to it being over. This has to be the most over hyped movie of the year. I enjoyed seeing all those stars in it. Its a shame that even with Directors: Robert Rodriguez, Frank Miller, and "special guest director" Quienten Tarantino that the talented actors didn't have better directing. It was like watching a two hour ultra violent Max Payne video including the cheesy detective commentary.
The visuals were great. It gets high points for originality. I loved the BnW with just a splash of color to accent certain aspects. The BnW helped hide some of the CGI effects. With the all star cast, the originality of the video transfer it has such great potential. What we get is an OK storyline, Extreme excess of blood, and violence, moderate amounts of nudity, and good acting. Its worth watching just for the experience, but its not one that when its over you think "Wow, that was a really good movie. I'm definitely going to buy that on DVD". I would't call it a bad movie, its just a dissappointment.

Great quality from Saosin. Just a few seconds of shaky camera at the beginning, then its smooth sailing from there. With the repack on CD3, there are no flaws in video or audio. It goes from opening to the first second of credits. Great AR, great "color", very nice sound. This will hold us over until a DVDScr.

9/9/5

Fantastic film this is deff a keeper till retail.

9/9/8

Catbox : Please, no spoilers!!! And maybe it's just not your kind of movie? perhaps hitch would be more appropriate? i'm just saying tho, you don't like it, that's great but this forum is more for release judgement than a full blown movie "review" & commentary, could be wrong ... i'm only a junior mem, oh well.

my thanks again to Sao, with the repack, everything is great, and yes, shaky at the beginning but after that, it's right-on.

Hi all,

I'd just like to plaster my previous question again:

What's with the ICQ uh-oh message sound at 10:06? I swear I'm not crazy, it doesn't intrude or anything; it's just random, bizarre and hilarious and I would like to know a bit more.

After watching this release for the 3rd time today (ya, I'm obsessed) I have to change my vote a little...

8/10/10

Video is very good, little shaky at the beginning and there is a part I noticed while FF through the DVD where the black and white kind of look yellow but just might be me. Audio is spot on perfect. And of course, the movie was fantastic. Best of the year easily and is on my top 10 list of all time!

BTW, the bigger the TV, screen, moniter, etc... you watch this on, the better it looks.

great movie, great quality keep em coming sao

Excellent movie, excellent copy... I think I came roughly six times during the movie

Seriously though - It's spectacularly violent, fast paced, interesting and original. I struggled to get into it for the first 15 minutes because it feels so "odd" but once your head gets used to the idea the movie takes on whole new dimensions.

I'd recommend seeing this movie in the cinema not because of the quality of Saosin's rip (which is excellent) but because this is the type of movie Hollywood should be encouraged to produce: it's brave, experimental, original - call it what you want but one thing is for sure, it's different, in a very good way. Frankly, all the hype surrounding this movie is deserved, although it's probably not to everybody's taste.

Video - 9 (although because it's predominantly B&W it's hard to fuck the video up)
Audio - 7 (clear but not super)
Movie - 9 (yep, probably the first movie I've rated this highly in months)

9/9/10

One quick question, could someone tell me the scale ratio of the video (4:3 or 16:9)

::EDIT:: It's a TS so technically there's no ratio but it's normal aspect ratio, with upper/lower borders to force 16:9 - Neversoft::

black and white

it does have the color sequences in it and this is one of the best ts i have ever seen! keep up the good work.

audio:9
video:9

After just seeing Sin City in the theater this release defiantely doesnt look as good as everyone claims, but its watchable. Great movie.

7/9/9.5

beautiful!

SAOSIN kicking ass

9/9

Maybe it's just me, but I think theres a large section missing between 1/2.

***SPOILERS REMOVED***

Section 1 for me is: 34:36 long.
Section 2 for me is: 34:53 long.

If anybody has an idea, please help!

Watched this last night .. very nice work.
Just put the raw mpegs on DVD and played on my standalone.

Very cool movie !

Hey everyone, saw this movie in the theater and it kix ass. Now can anyone tell me how to get it to work after i've downloaded it. I go to extract the files using isobuster and it keeps saying every sector can't be read. I've downloaded the three bin and three cue images. Where do I go from here?

For all of you that rated the sound a 10 when it's mono. I wonder what would you rate the stereo sound? It is very good sound, but it isn't a true copy of the original track. It is a part of the orginal track(not complete).

Fantastic film.

Watched last night and was very impressed with quality also.

Liked the film so much ,am actually going to see it again in cinema for full effect.

9/8/9.5

almost time to get a saosin tattoo...

8/7/10

Great, great movie, and extremely faithful to the original comics!

Video is good, but not great, audio could use a little more clarity.

Wondering if anyone can hep me out i have no cue files or my bins,

thanks

glitches on first cd?

Am I the only one seeing hiccups playing the first CD?

I got curious, extracted the MPEG, running it though some tools...

They are still chewing on it as I write, but so far they report that at one point the audio switched to 32Khz, and that there are PTS jumps in the video. It's also got some GOPs with more than 15 pics, but I'm not sure if that is OK for SVCD or not (it isn't for DVD).

As far as the third CD goes...

Just rename it to .BIN, edit the cue to also say .bin, and burn it.
It *is* an SVCD, just the wrong extension.

Sound Jumps

Has anybody been getting muting of sound for a split second on SOASIN releases. In this release its every other word.

I've got nothing to say about the quality because its already been said. The movie is the best I've seen all year. I was glued to my TV from start to finish. Robert Rodriguez has always done enjoyable movies but here he's really outdone himself.

Video - 9
Audio - 9
Movie - 9

Saosin - I LOVE YOU!!

__________________
Yo, She-Bitch..... Let's Go!

Yes, that's what I'm talking about...

Glitches in the sound were what caught my attention initially.

Further analysis seems to indicate that the variable bitrate video peaks above the SVCD 2X max and that there are related MUX'ing issues. (The bit I reported earlier about the audio sample rate was a red herring - *that* tool was having troubles parsing the mpeg data)

On CD1,

Bitrate Viewer says 2284 Average 2869 Peak

MPEG-2 Validator says 2283k Average 2869k Peak for video stream, 224k for audio, 2723k Program mux rate

MPEG-2 Validator also indicates "PTS Underflow (Mux Error)" and "DTS Underflow (Mux Error)"

Demux'd the audio and video streams and fed them to BBMPEG to remux for SVCD, allowing it to calculate the rates, and it reports:

Multiplexing information
Video stream data rate : 369850 bytes/sec (2958800 bits/sec)
Audio stream 1 data rate : 28000 bytes/sec (224000 bits/sec)
Overhead data rate : 6300 bytes/sec (50400 bits/sec)
Total data rate : 404150 bytes/sec (3233200 bits/sec)

The resulting MPEG file plays smoothly with no glitches.

And for what it's worth, running the remuxed mpg back through MPEG-2 Validator indicates a new Program Mux rate of 3157k and no PTS/DTS underflow errors.

Best qual TS vid quality ever!

Thx, Saosin,

I usually don't post, but this by far the best quality video wise for a TS that I've ever seen. Keep up the outstanding work. B/c it is greatly appreciated.
