For all those who said the quality was sub par on the iND release here is a perfect rip without downsampling you cant get any better than that.


Posted by SilentRAGE on 01-12-2003 02:43 AM:

the sample of this is 150meg, knock yourself out people...


Posted by sickdick on 01-12-2003 02:46 AM:

Mistake

VCD Quality should change the source from dvd-rip to dvd scr just because when someone sees dvd-rip they belevie its the true dvd when its only a dvd scr i dont think it is neccicary for me to get this release i was happy with the svcd when i get my dvd burner i may. Cheeers to REiGN for this release i will try to get a hold of the sample.

Sorry, but it is a waste for a SCREENER..... maybe I could accept it for the retail...

I wasn't talking about their other stuff - I DO NOT download DVD SCREENERS (except for LOTR:TT), because I don't like seeing the copyright message every fucking 20 minutes.

LOTR: TT was the only exception, and Harry Potter 2 (another rls group) because the message was a "For consideration" and only a few times throughout entire film.

They did a good job on RTP, btw...... haven't grabbed MBFGW yet.


Posted by PeZzmania on 01-12-2003 04:35 AM:

Sheesh...you get a 1 DVD-r and people whine...you get a 2 DVD-r rip and people are still whining?


Posted by SilentRAGE on 01-12-2003 04:41 AM:

no i'll agree with you there im not a fan of dvd-r screeners i dont like messages either, however, if you gotta download 3.5gig of an svcd, and then a dvd-r for 4.5gig comes out, and now this, why not just get the 2 disc one, do I care even about the movie, no but here it is, people have a choice, choices are good, they keep people quiet....btw i dont believe I said no group will release a 2 disc version, if you wanna dig through my posts be my guest, was there really a need for this no, will I take it if its out, yes, and it is so i'll take it, im not trying to start a flame war, i really dont care...if it this release wasnt out, im not gonna cry i'll take the ind one and be happy, hell if a dvd-r period wasnt out, id still be happy with an svcd, beats waiting months for retail, i think we all can agree on that..


Posted by time2live on 01-12-2003 04:51 AM:

My.Big.Fat.Greek.Wedding.DVDR-REiGN was a mislabel, this is the dvdr from the dvd screener source, note the lack of the menu. If you remember it looks retail because the dvd screener was lacking any screener msgs.

i didnt get this movie so im not gonna argue with you, all im trying to say is that i dont believe Reign is a bad group, they rip good stuff...that just came out and nfo says menu, surprised i havent heard about this earlier, doesnt matter to me either way, i dont want it.


Posted by sickdick on 01-12-2003 05:10 AM:

my big fat greek wedding does have a menu, and all the subs and directors commentary
however, the signs repack worked fine here with sync subs, nothing wrong there....
as for this rls, i hell yes am grabbing it...
road to perdition, didn't get that yet, not a big fan


Posted by Ripklawe on 01-12-2003 05:10 AM:

I just have one question:

Why was it that when the DVD Screener for Fellowship of The Ring came out last year, no one really bitched about the quality of the DVD-R, yet it was one disc and about the same length as Two Towers? I have not checked out ANY version of Two Towers (except in the theater twice ^_^) and if the quality of the one DVD-R version of Two Towers looks as good as the Fellowship DVD screener from last year, I will be a happy camper. And if it is NOT the same quality as Fellowship, someone needs to re-encode better. My suggestion: Quit wasting time whining about quality. Just enjoy what you get.


Ripklawe

:: easy answer, look at the state and popularity of the DVDR scene then, compared to how it is now. things change. -pHo

Look here DUMBFUCK, I am talking about the DVD-R!!! Get your cheap ass back to the SVCD area!!!

I don't give a rat's ass whether you like the movie or not, or thought it was worth it, the scene ain't about what YOU think is ok to fuck up......Because YOU don't care for the film, you could give a shit its fucked.... dumbass.

And, next time, you SHUT THE FUCK UP if you are not talking about the "DVD-R" bitch ...this is the DVD-R area asshole!

No respectable group or dump will accept ANY RLS that cuts off like that, and those dumps that did find out, deleted that shit right away. How is missing 10min acceptable? FOR ANY MOVIE? FOR ANY RELEASE GROUP? Shit should be NUKED like there was no tomorrow. Releasing shit is the same as releasing nothing, in my book - only difference is, a lot of ppl fuck up discs when you release shit. Do it right, or don't do it. Why take the time to FUCK something up?

And, next time, you SHUT THE FUCK UP if you are not talking about the "DVD-R" bitch ...this is the DVD-R area asshole!




waaaaaaa keep crying to make yourself look cool asshole, nobody said I diagreed that the dvd-r was bad, keep trying to make yourself look cool mr scene police over here, nuked or not nuked its free, you dont like it shut the fuck up and buy the movie..

You're the DUMBASS coming into the DVD-R group talking about you watched the SVCD and it was fine -- DUMBFUCK!


You didn't disagree because you DID NOT KNOW .......remember, your sorry ass was talking the SVCD. Go back to Kazaa or your damn IRC bots with your shit.

As for liking it or not, I will say what I want ---- NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY wants fucked up shit. We are not talking about shaving some bits here and there, or stereo vs. DD asswipe. We are talking about MISSING minutes of the film, so you shut the fuck up ......


Posted by puppydg68 on 01-12-2003 08:13 AM:

Thanks for a Great Release. There are many who appreciate it! For those who complain about the size, then don't download.. For those who don't mind the extra dload time for the quality enjoy.. This will hold me over until the retail comes out.

call me mr kazaa, whatever you want, the point is if you want to bitch about signs, do it in the signs thread and not the lord of the rings one, im not wasting my time with assholes like you, there are people that might want to actually post something useful in this thread instead of hearing us argue, so enough is enough, i can say whatever I want, if your a moderator and dont like me, fine, but everyone is sick of it so shut the fuck up and quit crying cause you wasted a dvd-r on a movie cut off, go cry to someone who cares, because me and the rest of the users on this board dont give a shit...thank you very much, post and have the last word act tough, but im dont wasting my time with you.

and please quit crying to us about signs, it seems below you have done enough of that already, go talk to reign if your not happy or rip it yourself next time

Isn't this a thread about LOTR DVD-R 2 Disc Proper and not signs...? As for me i'm glad this has been released. I'll have to wait a few days as my main source to get shit is from newsgroups. I know its not normal for a 2 dvd-r release but its LOTR and its near and dear to my heart

Thanks for taking a "snippet" of my statement, which was out of context, since my ORIGINAL message (in this thread) about REiGN and Signs did have more wording.

Quote it CORRECT, or SHUT THE FUCK UP!

I only brought up the issue period since REiGN was doing the 2 Disc DVD SCR, and it does concern me, and everyone, if they are FUCKING up their encodes!

Get lost loser, you won't be seeing DVD-R on Kazaa anyway! And if you do, enjoy your fucking 5KB/s speeds!!! You should have the damn movie by the time the third LOTR releases, asshole.

He was obviously making a statement ......not voting on true quality. I guess he might be saying, "We don't need a 2 disc DVD-R of a SCREENER" ..... that is probably what he was thinking.

Maybe I'll whine and complain and we can get a 4 DISC one??

Maybe they can even create some extras for us?

Let's whine, altogether now, let's whine!

You dumb fuck. I am perfectly happy with the iND one.... I'm not the one whining and complaining about not having a 2 DISC "BOOTLEG" to watch on my HDTV -- sorry asses!


Posted by ScabbyDoo on 01-12-2003 04:00 PM:

the iND release was fine. this is just to keep happy the punks that most likely "STOLE" a hdtv and want a 2 dvdr so show off. well FU. there aint nuttin wrong with the iND rls. maybe a 2 dvdr release for the retail but not for a screener come on
are you mad?

Posted by rappa on 01-12-2003 05:25 PM:

wow for all the retards complaining....The iND rip was DOWNSAMPLED 60% witch means its only 3-4x if not ANY better then the svcd. They had to downsample so they can fit it on 1cd. Reign decided that since the dvd scr was prob the best theyve ever seen, they wouldnt downsample and just make it 2discs. The retail DVDR is going to be most likely 2 discs too, but the 2disc version quality is like retail. If it didnt have For Your Consideration, u guys would think it is, but neway, the 2 disc dvdr is at a bitrate of 6500 and the iND's is at 2700..If your complaining about size STFU, go dl the 1cd rls then as for the quality on this is superb and is def a downloadable version.

Hello
Thanks for the 2 DVD-r Version. 8.5 Gigabyte seems a lot, but it is worth to download it. Can someone tell me which group release Pal-versions of dvd-screeners? Perhaps such a group can also release TTT with various languages. Thanks for your help.

what a release! file is huge tho


Posted by wAx on 01-12-2003 07:49 PM:

TK7381, the oscar-screeners doesnt come with subs, and they are only in ntsc format. So you wont get a pal release of any of the oscar-screeners. You will have to wait to july if u want subs to TTT.


Posted by pcjerk on 01-12-2003 08:01 PM:

iND could have released it this way as well. LOL! But because of the load size preferred not to. Most users don't wanna download 8gigs.

The best they have ever seen? DUH! What are ya new? The original will always look the best. This is why groups are lame. Groups need to dissolve & become one. But it won't happen cause there's to many ego's floating around.

You mean one DVD , not CD. The single disc is a DVD-R, not a CD. As for the bitrate, I disagree. The SVCD one, at max of 4 CDs, is 3.2GIG and the 1 disc DVD-R does fill the 4.7GB DVD-R. In addition to the higher bitrate on the iND DVD-R, it is TRUE DD 5.1, and looks extremely good (on projection as well as standard TV).

So no, the iND DVD-R is not just a "little" better, but a definite MUST to get if you want the best quality in a *Single Disc WITH Dolby Digital 5.1 intact*.....

I just think a 2 Disc DVD-R for a BOOTLEG of a SCREENER was a waste of time, but whatever....

Who the fuck is HBODVD? Shit never appeared on any respectable site, and NOT surprised by it....


Posted by dotmusik on 01-12-2003 09:12 PM:

Ah well, theres a good choice now.

TDi SVCD - smaller in size, good quality, 4CDs,
iND DVDR - 93x50mb, excelent quality, 1 DVD
REiGN DVDR - Huge 160x50mb! BEST quality, 2 DVDs

Clearly it just depends how long u wanna spend downloading it. It is better than iND, and to the ppl who said it is unecessary dont knwo what they are on about. It IS better quality. But to be honest I cant b arsed to get all of it as I have the iND, and I dont have a HDTV. If you do tho, maybe worth getting this release

Posted by tristan_ on 01-12-2003 10:19 PM:

Yep. I guess it's just personal preference.

If you dont like a release, don't download it. Just because you don't think it's worthwhile, It doesnt mean everyone else should agree with you.

Download whatever version you like, there's an SVCD, XviD, DivX, DVD-R (1disc), DVD-R (2disc). So you have a wide selection to choose from.

I myself, will be downloading this 2disc DVD-R.

Posted by ohm2k3 on 01-12-2003 10:58 PM:

it's too bad that you cant come to this site and look at the ratings of the new releases and just know if it's a good release or not...cause there's always some stupid ass or asses that gives the movie a 1/1/1 or 10/10/10 when it's not even close to either...there should be a group of about 10 or so respectable people who wont screw over the ratings and you know that their not stupid asses who just love or hate the movie and give it a terrible rating. Something like the video game review sites do, just have a non moronic person review it and rate it

by the way, this was particularly brought to my attention by pcjerk who gave the reign dvd a 1/1/1 just because it's big....but as i recall, the rating is based on quality and not how easily some dumbass can download it.

just an idea about that group, cause it probably wont happen because tehre would always be people who would say that it doesn't deserve the rating that it gets.

Omg people, shut the fuck up, your all fucking upper class faggots complaining about fucking free shit, like paul, it's all fucking bootleg, you didn't buy it, it's not an official release or anything, it's a fucking bootleg, shut the fuck up already, damn you people have nothing better to do than fucking argue about nothing.

Posted by PeZzmania on 01-13-2003 06:27 AM:

Anyone who thinks the iND DVDR version is anywhere close to the quality of the TDi SVCD obviously hasn't viewed both. The video quality is significantly better on the DVDr...and the sound is, of course, much better.


Posted by mathbob6 on 01-13-2003 06:58 AM:

for people who actually want to know about the release itself, i personally have watched both dvdr's of this reign release, and i must say, this is by far the best dvdr scr i have seen in my entire life, absolutely amazing, if u havent already seen in the theaters and have axx to this, i highly reccomend u get this, and trust me its definetly worth it, especially for a movie of this caliber


Posted by Mekapo on 01-13-2003 07:25 AM:

I have the IND release and the video and audio is superb. I have a good surround sound setup, and am playing the game on a mediocre (average) tv via my xbox and an S-Video hookup. Am I going to notice an EXTREME amount of difference (videowise) on this setup as I am not running on an HDTV (plus the xbox doesn't support progressive scan output for DVD's) If I know my stuff correctly (and for all i know i don't) The audio shouldn't be affected at all. This is a simple question and would appreciate a simple answer Thanks in advance

As a newbie to the DVD-R scene, I just saw the post that said the Reign screener will not show up on newsgroups. As that is the only way I am aware of to download these files, what is the reason it won't show up?

yea, definately sucks for us newsgroup peole becuase even if they do post it after a week or so, there will definately be missing files that they wont account for with par files and we'll just be screwed

and as for mirc, i must just really suck at using it because whenever a new release is out, mirc only leads to long ass queues that i never get through because my mirc will just end up disconnecting somewhere in the middle

Something like the video game review sites do, just have a non moronic person review it and rate it

by the way, this was particularly brought to my attention by pcjerk who gave the reign dvd a 1/1/1 just because it's big....but as i recall, the rating is based on quality and not how easily some dumbass can download it.

just an idea about that group, cause it probably wont happen because tehre would always be people who would say that it doesn't deserve the rating that it gets.



Sorry, wasn't meant to be serious. I was just being sarc-ass-tic. =)
10/10/10 is what the release is if it's a direct dupe.


Posted by DocVomit on 01-14-2003 06:39 AM:

8 gigs is not to much for a newsgroup

Anyone stating that 8 gigs is to much just hasn't downloaded more then one movie from DVD-R. So what if it happens to be 2 discs for one film. This one is simply a rare exception and for some it's worth it. Just hope someone will do us the favor of posting it to the newsgroups.

ONCE AGAIN UP YOUR AZZ REIGN


Posted by solidusuk on 01-15-2003 08:01 AM:

I should have it soon and will post what i think.


BTW I have a question, just wanted to know if this is a screener does that mean a copyright message keeps scrolling across every ten minutes or so???



Thanks


Posted by Mekapo on 01-15-2003 06:31 PM:

I don't have the 2 DVD Reign release, but as I assume that it is the same source (DVD SCREENER) as the InD release, then yes. All that pops up are the words "For your consideration". The message pops up every 10 minutes or so for about 10 seconds. It's very unobtrusive and doesn't interfere with the movie. Hope this helps.


Posted by Jejje on 01-15-2003 07:16 PM:

True.. it has the "for your consideration" message.. but it´s not annoying at all..


Posted by zcar on 01-15-2003 08:24 PM:

im just comparing the 2 releases
the svcd is ok
the single disc dvdr is better
the 2 disc release dvdr is a lot better

take your pick

im watching the reign release


Posted by kami7 on 01-15-2003 09:12 PM:

Anyone else noticed a small glitch near the end of disc 2? It skips/pixelates for a couple frames right when the assault on Isengard by the Ents starts (you see the ent picking up the rock). It's nothing major, but I'm just wondering if it was just a bad burn or not (it does the same thing in my set top and dvd-rom).

As for the ratings... 10/10/10. Gorgeous video transfer, superb sound, and the greatest movie ever

The SVCD looks fine on normal TVs below 32", but the sound still has that hiss on high frequencies (listen to Gandalf's whistle for shadowfax...ouch)
The XviD has better sound than the SVCD but the picture looks kinda grainy, and I noticed a lot more mpeg artifacts compared to the SVCD.
Never saw the iND release, but this REIGN release is superb.


Posted by DaGamePimp on 01-15-2003 11:59 PM:

Wink

well it says not to vote 10/10/10 but I think this release is deserving of it [ first one I have seen that does ] . This is of course considering that you like the movie . Don't say it is a 9 for video due to the 'for your consideration' as there is nothing that they can do about that [ without cutting out some of the image ] . They did a great job here and deserve many thanks .
Thank You for a Fantastic release REiGN !!! This is far superior to the iND release [ not taking any credit from them as they did a great job fitting the 3 hour film onto a single DVD ! ] .

Posted by WiZZLa on 01-16-2003 01:39 AM:

This version sucks. I'll stick with my 5CD Cam VCD, thank you very much.

as an update, it's been nuked for being a dupe of iND's release.


Posted by Lord_Sauron on 01-16-2003 09:28 PM:

...where does disc one end?

If you don't know the characters too well just tell me the time/counter?

thx


Posted by wAx on 01-16-2003 11:54 PM:

Disc one ends at 1:30:42, thats when Aragorn falls off the cliff.

hmmmm , well there are NO GLITCHES whatsoever in the iND single-disc DVD-R release, so that is another PLUS for it

JMHO.


Posted by w3rcl on 01-18-2003 07:26 AM:

Does anyone else see this glitch. On the 2nd Disc right when the Giant Tree guy throws the first rock. Its about 1 hour 9 minutes and 29 seconds into the second disc.

The video has garbage in it and the audio skips.

:: Do not double post - D


Posted by wAx on 01-18-2003 05:20 PM:

I can also see the glitch, but its only for a fraction of a second so it doesnt really matter. I will get the retail rip for archiving anyway.

The quality of this release is way better than iND.


Posted by solidusuk on 01-18-2003 06:59 PM:

well finnaly got the 1st disk and I have to say Im blown away by the quality here, the screener message is so un-abtrusive that you hardly even notice and the sound and picture is crisp.


Excellent and nothing but praises from me.


I shall have the iND release soon too and will do a comparison.


Posted by bigpooh on 01-18-2003 07:36 PM:

I was wondering because I have the same Two Tower with the for your consideration sign. My problem is I don't know how to encode it so it could be place on a vcd or dvdr. Because the three files are 700mb each and there all avi files. Can someone place help me out. Thanks Bigpooh!

That is not the iND or REiGN rip..... that is something else, especially if it is .avi probably DivX? Anyway, you will not gain ONE IOTA of quality by going to DVD-R (your material is only as good as its "source"), just it will be more convenient than swapping discs...

Picture and sound may be, but at the sacrafice of glitches, and having to use two discs......

I'll wait for Retail before I start burning 2 DVD-Rs .....Screeners w/their messages, are not worth it, JMHO...


Posted by pcjerk on 01-19-2003 11:26 AM:

I do have to say after reading the NFO with the REiGN release, it makes me laugh. They must not have been watching DVD's for very long to call this "the best dvd we have ever seen". LOL! What are ya, new?

As for quality, any kind of error in the rip makes it less quality. I think I heard someone is working on a patch for the error in the REiGN release.


Posted by julian270480 on 01-20-2003 02:51 AM:

help

Hi Guys,

Where can i download the reign dvd rip of the two towers,

i cant find it anywhere.


Posted by Jejje on 01-20-2003 06:51 AM:

is pleople talking about problems in the REiGN relese?! wtf.. i think it´s f*cking great quality.. and havn't noticed any glitch. maybe because i have been jerking off to the quality..

this is one of the best releases i've ever seen.. but i'm kinda young.. and havn't seen that many DVD-R releases.. sure a real DVD-R retails is the best.. bust right now this is as good as it can get and a little bit better..

Well.. for starter.. i don´t think you will be able to find it on WinMX.. or kazaa or any other p2p program like that..

maybe someone can give a better answer that is by the rules of this message board..

Requesting?

As a newbie who had my one and only post edited by a moderator and I have no idea why, except that I asked for help, I would like to know why 'requesting' isn't allowed on this forum? Some of us are just looking to be pointed in the right direction so we don't have to 'bother' you all for very long.

Posted by solidusuk on 01-23-2003 02:59 AM:

hey peeps,


Finnaly got disk two and thier is a glitch!!



My only DVD player is my PS2 and at this point in the movie it just freezes/locks the PS2 up and I cant do nothing but eject the DVD, you can getaway with it if you just press 'Search' thru the bad bit.


Ok this occurs exactly after the bit where Gandalf and the horse men charge down the hill and kill all them guys outside Helms Deep, the camera goes to the Ent battle (a tree thing) hes picking up a rock but it just freezes thier.


I dunno maybe some DVD players ignore the error, others like my PS2 obviously cant handle it, and some probably just have a little audio skip!


Damn shame for such a perfect release.


Wouldnt it be possible for a incy-wincy patch to fix such a small error???


** Well i just confirmed it, I just played it on PowerDVD on the PC and I get a glitch thier. 1 Hr 9 Mins 30 Secs

I agree

Best release of this movie! Beautiful menu and good chapter selection.


Posted by Spree on 01-28-2003 11:44 PM:

This movie plays fine in my xbox but not on my dvd player. I have read about needing a region 1 patch? Is this necessary or is there a burning method that resolves this?


Posted by wAx on 01-29-2003 12:29 AM:

The region patch is for the iND release, the REiGN rls needs a fix for the fucked up frame.

Yeah, I have both (iND and DrS) releases, but people would be hard pressed to distinguish the two unless you have HDTV.


Posted by Extractor on 01-29-2003 11:13 AM:

I personally was totally unsatisfied with the iND release. First off, the encoding is weak (even for 3 hours). If you see samples of a proper multipass CCE encoding made from the untouched video (Reign, DrS) to 1-disc size, they already look much better than the iND version.

I'm located in Eurpe and don't have HDTV but on a bigger TV screen you can easily tell the difference between the iND and the untouched versions.

Sorry, but you couldn't on my 48" Projection TV either......

I think you really need HDTV to notice the difference..


Posted by pcjerk on 01-29-2003 06:00 PM:

unsatisfied? LOL! Who cares what you were? whiny pir8 alert!

I should hope you can tell the difference between something that is downsampled vs. somthing that isn't. Otherwise you need glasses. Sure the DsR rls is gr8.

As for CCE, gr8 tool, too bad you have to use more than one tool to accomplish anything with CCE.


Posted by Extractor on 01-29-2003 06:04 PM:

Well, strange... my TV is 36" WS flat tube. And you see the diff easily. Half blind man could see it.

Also on a PC Monitor, you can see the diff.

It's already obvious, with 3 hour movie and 600mb audio track, the bitrate is not much higher than the 4 disc SVCD (also keeping in mind that DVD is a higher resolution and hence would need a higher bitrate to allocate equal amount of bits to a frame). I think only the higher maximum bitrate saves it a little.

So I can't understand you don't see a diff on a 48" TV. But I don't want to argue about this, it might depend on what you use (DVD Player, TV, whatever) for watching it.

cheers

On the downsampled comment, with a standard NTSC 480i max resolution tv set, no, it is not a big difference. I have both.

Let's agree to disagree, and another major difference is the bitrate is variable on the DVD-R, so you will get spikes MUCH HIGHER than SVCD when needed.

If you don't believe me, purchase a DVD Player that displays the bitrate instantly for the entire movie. One again , on my 35" Sony, and my 48" Projection, the difference is MINOR, JMHO.


Posted by fateman on 02-18-2003 05:24 AM:

i finally got one of the discs of this release and noticed it isn't 4:3. can i burn it with nero or whatever and will it look ok? i burned gangs of ny, only to find out afterward it is all stretched on my tv, and the fix people suggested didn't work.

thanks
jeff

::This would be better off in the encoding help section, and you might get an answer there. -K::


Posted by wAx on 02-18-2003 11:39 AM:

If the movie is stretched on your tv it means that its Anamorphic. U need to set your player to display 4:3 video or if u have a 16:9 setting on your tv that is even better.

if they're playing back on a 4:3 tv, it must be set to 4:3 letterbox specifically. 4:3 standard will crop the sides.
