Posted by directv on 06-05-2005 01:51 AM:

didn't the movie come out like 3 weeks ago? i'll find the sample later to see the exact quality. this must be a really good telecine, or a legit dvd. but i doubt it.

.:edit:.
video codec: XviD
audio codec: AC3 2 channel at 192 kb/s 48 khz
framerate: 23.976
A/R: 640 x 288 / 2.222 (20:9)

from what i can tell, this rip may be from a *true* dvd. this is better than the TC as it is not so damn dark

Thumbs up

It wont play in Phillips DVP-642 players , also it crashed DiVX player and PowerDVD , also TMPGEnc Plus doesnt recognize it. I think they used a wierd codec like FQM (XViDTV grp) did. Hopefully they release a DVDR.

From what i have seen so far. No Red or Orange tint like the TELECiNE , the words are english (not russian) , its not near as dark as the TC , the crop .. like the TC is also 16:9.

Overall , as mentioned this is an excellent TC or mabey something like TEG gets "unmastered retail" . Either or ... looks and sounds excellent !

Smart by no group name either - 4 weeks in theater and already a retail or semi retail copy online. Not that Mr Lucas isnt already swimming in $

Very sweet release. Definitly NOT the TC. Very clean, very bright, just a little fuzzy, but it's the best release out by far.
Already have this one converted and burned to a DVD (glad i hadn't bothered burning the WP yet).
9/9/7


Posted by Beelzebud on 06-05-2005 02:11 AM:

This is the best release out there by far.

No sync issues, no color issues, no encoding issues. It's damn near perfect.

My only wish is that it wasn't a DVDRip, but a DVD-R.

Hi everyone,

This opened up with np in mpc and VDmod, I have the newest xvid codec installed and that could be the reason.

This is very nice , no b/w scenes or warnings or watermarkes of any kind, George is really going to be pissed off now.

Nice quality.. 9/9/10

it most be from a dvd source.


Posted by Anno on 06-05-2005 05:01 AM:

Not a TC as anybody with any sense can tell for numerous reasons. you don't even need to analize the actual release quality to know this. The big clue being the secrecy around the NFO/source and lack of group name. You don't have to be a genius to figure out this was obtained from very few source disks within the studio/industry. This meaning.. by naming the source of it would lead almost right to the door of the employee most likly.
Think about it

Best quality you will get up till retail and infact even then the XviD Rip won't be much if at all better. Grab enjoy and be greatfull for the huge risks that some guy has gone to.

9/9/8
I don't normaly rate releases so highly but i think this 1 deserves it.


Posted by Jackfrost on 06-05-2005 05:07 AM:

This looks like they ripped it from the dvdr release of:

Star.Wars.3.Return.of.the.Sith.TC.Digital.Remastered.Internal.READ.NFO.PAL.DVDR-PixelPerfect


Posted by XboxFreak on 06-05-2005 05:29 AM:

This is not a copy of Star.Wars.3.Return.of.the.Sith.TC.Digital.Remastered.Internal.READ.NFO.PAL.DVDR-PixelPerfect

That release was just a re-encode of the TUN TC with Russian intro.

This release has english intro and looks a hell of alot better than the TUN TC or any re-encode of it

Obviously a DVD rip

almost perfect... however, I get the impression the left and right sound channels are reversed. Whenever there's an obvious event occurring on the right side of the screen, I hear the audio coming from the left (and vice versa).

Anyone else get this, or are my channels just reversed? (I'm pretty sure my audio is setup right, as this is the first movie I've experience this on)


Posted by EViL-EWoK on 06-05-2005 07:47 AM:

obv not a dvdrip. its a TC. close enough to a dvdrip to be labeled DVDRip.
Since it is internal the rules are bent

9/9/8

still holy shit nice work

Posted by magregus on 06-05-2005 08:14 AM:

I can not get sound for some reason, but apart from that picture looks dvd source to me, way to good for a telecine.

From what I've seen I didnt notice any of those artifacts on screen that signify a reel change. Makes me highly doubt this is a TC, it would be more likely some sort of rip from whatever print was sent to digital theaters.

9.8/9/10 watched first few minutes and very nice much better then wp never saw tc u can kinda see a little pixelation but not much very nice


Posted by serial thrilla on 06-05-2005 11:46 AM:

Well i saw all 3 versions and i can say

WP- was ridiculously pixalted and the aspect ratio... well .. im sure everyone knows already!!

TC- I thought Tun did a good job ... my only complaint was that it was a tad too dark.. and that the sides were a little cropped off ... other than that flawless.. very minor pixles ...

DVD-Rip- Must admit it looks very nice when the movie isnt very dark .. sound rocks but theres still a few pixles .. so i can go either way with the TC and this one

V-9
S-10
M-6.5 <--- dont get me started!!

WOW!!!!! Grab this one QUICK!!!

This is the one to get as its FLAWLESS.

George will be glad he's hanging up his hat after he see's this release.

it's allmost DVD quality.

Posted by sar on 06-05-2005 12:17 PM:

Judging from sample I can't see how anyone can agree this comes from a dvd - the pic is "okay" but the sound is hideously bad! Scratchy, tinny, flat - what have we.


Posted by [-BiG_W-] on 06-05-2005 12:24 PM:

Pic is the best yet but bad AR for me.

Sound isn't hugely great either - not even as good as the workprint.

Will do until retail but there's certainly room for improvement. Hope they release the DVD source

8/7/9


Posted by pHo on 06-05-2005 01:02 PM:

AR is fine for me, but the picture isn't perfect. You can see lots of distortion thruout the film (easiest point is on the intro "Far Far Away" screen, look at the text closely) which to me says its been on an analogue source at some point in its life. Sound is better, but I'm still concerned the master is screwed, because the lava fight still doesn't sound great.

7/8/10

I'm not sucking cock and saying the video is perfect when it clearly isn't.. it might've been ripped from a DVD, but it didn't start its life there I'm sure of that. Best release out tho without a doubt.

It's most def. the best thing out, but to me it looks like it has not been ripped by professionals.


Posted by me-self on 06-05-2005 01:33 PM:

i grabbed the first cd of this yesterday from a newsgroup, had no really nfo like this one and no group name, stil its the best quality out now, its not a TC and its not a re encode of TUN's release, its near perfect, i just wonder how this go out so soon, lucas will be fuming

Posted by machofairy on 06-05-2005 08:21 PM:

Not had a problem playing it on the Yamada 6700 DVD/Divx player.

Quality is just tiny bit short of DVD quality, but I am not complaining! It is definitely not from a camera. The only gripe is that in the beginning, the sound levels appear a bit too high and some of the explosions sounded distorted. Apart from that, an excellent release and totally unexpected and out of the blue!


Posted by tibby on 06-05-2005 09:22 PM:

This is no TC for sure. The sound isn't tinny at all...in fact it is the best sound yet. the AR is spot on. Don't be fooled by that other internal floating around out there by CDRS it's only a re-encode of the TUN SVCD w/fake 5.1 AC3, now THAT ONE sounded tinny. The video is a little pixelated but if you can watch the workprint you should have ne problems with this.

Posted by Redemption1980 on 06-05-2005 11:44 PM:

Fantastic release, this early, but not a DVD-Rip.

Picture is good, but colours arent perfect, and it seems very soft, so im with pHo in thinking this has been on an Analogue source at one point, but still very good quality this early.

Audio seems fine so far, though it is 2.0 so i dont think its form a DVD, but its nice in DPL2, but is a bit bass free.

8/7/9

Also the credits aren't there, which is strange.

I'm sure they're reversed. No real quick fix for my standalone but switching the audio channels on the PC works.


Posted by tibby on 06-06-2005 12:27 AM:

This is no analog source, this is not a TC either, The pixelation artifacts should tell you that. (Analog and TC's both carry more grain than usual) I think people who state it's a TC or Analog just don't want to believe its from a digital source. It may be from a digital projection, DVD, someone's computer at lucasfilm or someone associated with lucasfilm. Accept it people an move on. Yes this does set a bit of a precedent 3 weeks after release, but it is what it is.

Posted by mjamesskuba on 06-06-2005 02:34 AM:

has anyone gotten their DVP-642 to play Qpel? Is there a firmware update anywhere that will enable this or do you have to re-encode the xvid? I really want this to work on my dvd player. Let me know what you guys have done about this.


Posted by zerobyte on 06-06-2005 02:38 AM:

I agree the video is fantastic. There was something weird about the sound though.I demuxed the audio and opened in sound forge.After tweakin the audio for a bit I discovered what was wrong.The treble was way toooo high.I lowered that and raised the lows and mids.The result was a fantastic audio track which I remuxed with the video and burned to dvd. If your familiar with this kind of thing Ide definitely recommend you do it before burning the movie. Also, if it was a dvdrip why would the sound turn out like that?Unless for some extremely strange reason they thought they could improve it some way and failed or the audio was encoded improperly.However, if that was the case they probably would have fuxored the video as well. This to me suggests a secondary audio source.Another thing;I've seen film transferred to video using an hd millennium tc machine which was as high quality as any dvd Ive seen. Most of the tc's released look like they were transferred using a 20 y.o. machine. and also appear as though color charts weren't used for calibration before each new reel.Hence the orangy reddish hue in the tun release.With modern day equipment its quite easy to produce HD video from film.(This assumes post transfer enhancement).

Posted by monte1911 on 06-06-2005 07:13 AM:

sample looks good, scene chosen was high action so there was quite obvious pixel artifacts but its better than anything else out there.

9/8/8


Posted by chiv on 06-06-2005 08:30 AM:

i doubt its a tc, but its far from a traditional dvdrip in terms of quality... id rate it at 70% of the quality of what youd expect from a normal dvdrip, but its still EXTREMELY watchable, and this WILL hold me over till the retail dvd comes out, i wont download another copy (no need, this is good enough)

-it looks like a dvdscr - remember that pirates of the caribbean dvdscr? this is similar kind of quality, but no ciggy burns that ive seen so far, so it just looks like an unmastered early test dvd

woulda loved 5.1, but lol, i can hardly count that against this release, EXCELLENT release for what it is + its amusing that one of the most heavily protected releases is the most heavily released ones in recent memory, hehehe - i mean a workprint (you hardly even get these anymore), and now this release... great stuff. take that, george.

7/7/? (but looks like a 6.5)


Posted by Madmax on 06-06-2005 12:51 PM:

All you philips owners, you dont read the reviews at dvdrhelp.com much?
Use mpegmodifier, open the file,you'll see a edit box with a number like dixv999b000p, change the p to a "n" and make sure square pixels is checked, save as whatever and it will play any qpel encoded avi.

Lol, I've seen comments like "wow, this is a good DVD rip" and stuff before, like with the DMT release of The Butterfly Effect, and that ended up being a telecine. We may all need an optometrist

Anyways my rating, from the view of it as a telecine - 9/8/10


Posted by crob on 06-06-2005 05:10 PM:

Great quality - but why did they have to cut it just as the titles start... should of given at least 3-4 secs of titles...

it is reversed... i listened to several scenes where it is clearly buggered... and cd2 is out of sync... time to fire up the editors


Posted by Wanderer22 on 06-06-2005 10:42 PM:

I agree that it's definitely not at TC. If it is, it's one of those "digital telecines" that I theorized about a while back, taken directly from a digital projector (which could explain the reluctance to reveal the source). Definitely not a standard TC from film source.. contrast isn't near as high as TC's usually are.

It's definitely from a digital source of some kind, that much is certain. Since the original version of the film is digital, it doesn't really need the "remastering" that film sources have.

I think the fact that it's a non-scene/group release explains nearly every fault this thing has. Some lucky SOB got a hold of a DVD or whatever, and did a quick-and-dirty XviD encode. Problem is, they didn't know what they were doing. This explains the "soft" look of the video, the abundance of compression artifacts, hints of whatever de-interlacing technique they used (i.e. the "flickering" titles), and the improperly-compressed audio. And it may also explain the 2.0 audio instead of 5.1, and the fact that the left/right channels are reversed. The sort of mistakes a newbie would make with DVD2AVI or whatever.

So, in comparison to other DVDRips, my vote would be:

7/6/7.

Got this, too.
the first release was quick but horrible (counters on screen, wrong aspect ratio), the second (with the russian intro) was better, but too dark and cut on the sides, finally this one is the one to keep and watch until I buy the dvd christmas 2005 (of course I have have watched it at the theaters, too)

9/7/9

only problem: playback problem with my pioneer DV-470. its stuttering (very short stop every second), but perfect flawless on the PC with media player. any suggestions? (using MPEG4 modifier? tried "unpack bitstream", doesnt help)
otherwise I have to convert it to mpeg2/DVD-R


Posted by mattmatt02 on 06-07-2005 12:33 PM:

slight fuzziness in the finer detail of the video showing that it is probably from an analog source but nontheless this is an excellent rls.

Anyone else get the cracking and popping? I can here it during the first scene (when the spaceship comes into view).


Posted by powder21 on 06-07-2005 10:34 PM:

audio not that great

I have read the other posts and I just wanted to say that I have watched this copy and while the video does look digital, I do not believe that this is from a true dvd since the audio quality is questionable.

Still, if you can't afford the cinema, watch this copy. I don't think it takes away two much from the cinema experiance as long as you've got a good system.

There is a DVD version of this, the quality is excellent.

The sound channels do seem to be reversed though.

Other than that great release.

what can i use to convert tghis to working ntsc files im using dvd santa and its coming out all fucked up


Posted by mrscott88 on 06-08-2005 03:11 AM:

To everyone who is complaining that it wont work on phillips, jvc, etc, etc.

Use dr divx and convert to 5.2 divx.

I have a jvc 316 and it plays wonderfully.


9/8/8


BTW if you are looking for a dvd player that plays anything including divx 6 get a peekton pk6055 mk2

Video: 8

A bit fuzzy and jerky playback (only occurs for a millisecond during certain scenes)

Audio: 8

2ch for a movie split into two avi files. It's okay. Sound is reversed, but its easily fixed.

Movie: 6


Since this is not a true dvd rip, I believe that they captured the video and sound like the one with Sideways. The best release overall.

great release,
picture seems just fine for the time it came out.
still no sound though.
any help.?


Posted by BlueStar on 06-08-2005 08:57 PM:

Video is nice, not top quality DVD rip nice, but for such a big film, and at this speed you can't complain.

I've got a pretty strange sound problem with this release though. When there's talking or music the sound is clear as a bell. But when there's lazers being shot or crafts whizzing past in the space scenes(such as in the sample) I get horrific stratching, popping and crunching sounds. Tried installing some new codecs but with no joy. Could it be the treble being too high, as someone mentioned? If I covert it to DVD will all this shit still be there, or could it just be my shitty PC speakers?

Could be your speakers; try out some headphones. If it's still there, might be settings on your PC. Audio is crisp and clear for me, whole way through.

Video not as sharp as one would hope from DVDRIP but definately nothing to frown about. Finally, a stereo release, as well. Reversed channels, but easily fixed. And the movie.... was awesome.

::EDIT:: Can you discuss this via PM or in the correct part of the forum please folks - NS::


Posted by deznutz on 06-09-2005 02:11 AM:

what program can i use to convert this to dvd because dvdsanta dosent work

::EDIT:: You need a copy of Kickstart 1.3 and the Amiga Workbench. You also need to ask questions like this in the correct part of the forum!! - NS::


Posted by BiggD23 on 06-09-2005 06:41 AM:

8/9/10

Edit: Audio is easily fixed in Goldwave, which has an option to flip the channels. Took maybe 10 minutes total to do both disks. I agree that CD2 is very slightly out of sync...the words are about 1/10 second behind the mouths. That is also easily corrected in Goldwave.


Posted by starsnostars on 06-09-2005 06:46 AM:

I converted this to DVD with a 3 pass VBR CCE encode and normalized the audio with SoundForge and I'm very happy with the way it came out. On my 31" Toshiba TV & Pioneer DVD/Audio setup the colours are very nice and the sound is great. Great release and my nephews are very happy with me! lol

Watching this right now on my tv and Dolby Prologic Surround.
Looks great and sound is perfect, haven't noticed the reverse sound yet.

This release rocks.


Posted by rish on 06-09-2005 06:10 PM:

great rip, great picture, great sound. nothing wrong with AR for me but my laptop is widescreen
just wondering if anyone could tell me about how they sorted out the audio issue, to me doesnt sound like anything is wrong but please do share...


Posted by protekt0r on 06-09-2005 10:09 PM:

Hmmm... Indeed, as someone said before; there's something missing from this. It's definitely not a Telecine... and if it is then it's the best telecine in history.

I would venture to say it's a very high quality workprint. Perhaps it was ripped from a SVHS source? Or stolen off an editing computer? I dunno. But, whatever it is, it obviously hasn't been digitally mastered yet. Anywho, no doubt it's the best copy out there.

9/9/10

Here are my CCE settings. I aso demuxed the ac3 audio using VirtualDub first and didn't encode the sound with CCE, I left it as AC3. Normalized it in SoungForge and used AC3Fix to make sure I wouldn't lose sync with the video.

CCE Settings

*EDIT* The frame rate in the CCE video settings should read 23.97, then before authoring the DVD I ran Pulldown to make it 29.97 fps. That screen was taken with a different file but the exact same settings were used.

Has anybody figured out if the audio is surround? I don't mean 5.1, but like Pro Logic II, through the 2-channel stereo signal?


Posted by Fordirelifesake on 06-10-2005 10:24 PM:

This is early! Looks close to dvd quality but lacks the sharpness. I noticed there were multicolored blocks, or objects in this release. I would like to say this is a tc but it seems too good. I noticed that the audio seemd distorted, like a crunching. Even with the minor flaws I easily give this:

9/7/6

if anyone wants my opinion of where this came from then i would say its an unmastered retail dvd that could have been copied on a standalone dvd recorder, using only a crappy rgb lead as the connection. so it could be true dvd, that is just copied badly.

the audio reversed thing? if they did use one of those yellow, white and red cables (are they called rgb or composite?) they could have got the red plugged into the white and vice versa?


Posted by sungsu on 06-11-2005 07:40 PM:

I think i know the source

I went to a burger king today, and guess what?
They're showing the movie in there.

I guess the group borrowed one of those? Possibly?


Posted by Simian on 06-11-2005 08:04 PM:

Is it me or does the audio seem clipped and distorted? It's clear and high-endy but on loud parts gets distorted badly.

The video is nice. This is a decent release.

However, it is obviously not a "dvdrip" in that you can see it was recorded via analog equipment... notice the "rainbows" on parts of the video?

Of course, the source could have been anything... but the copy method was analog and probably explains how they could end up with something as weird as reversed audio channels.


Posted by xRONiNx on 06-14-2005 12:10 AM:

Nice job I suppose, the reversed audio is a bit odd I must say, but hey I ain't complainin about it...

V:8 (Better Encoding Woulod Have Pulled a 9)
A:7.5 (Flipped Channels Are Lame)
M:9 (It's Star Wars... at least its better than Episode I right?)

I have looked on every torrent search engine known to man to find these two files (cd1 and cd2) .... what search engine are you guys using to find these files?


Posted by Transws6am on 06-14-2005 10:15 PM:

I have used every bit engine search possible but cant find these two files (cd1 and cd2). What bit search engine are you using?




::EDIT:: None, you dick! Now, go read the forum rules whilst poking yourself in the eyes - NS::


Posted by BirdySOHC on 06-16-2005 05:35 AM:

finally grabbed this. the best version out there imo. video is a 9.5, not even worth debating on -its dvd quality. audio does have the flaw on my laptop that others mention (loud scenes have crackling and hissing) but thats non-existant on xbmc. at times, it does seems like the audio is of a lesser quality than the picture... 8.5

No.. probably that burger king downloaded and used this. I think it would've been advertised if BK were showing Ep3.

8/8/8.5

Really nice release, especially this early. Video is a tad bit dark and blurry. Sound is a bit 'thin' and seems to get pretty loud in the action scenes. Movie was great, especially after George fouled up the first two movies; it still can't touch the original trilogy though. Otherwise, awesome releease!


Posted by ShaftedTwice on 07-06-2005 04:48 AM:

EDIT: nvm, got the sound to work Great movie, great quality.
