Very well done !

Posted by BlindGuardian on 05-22-2005 09:19 PM:

GREAT early release, huge props to TUN!

Judging from the sample: 8/8/9 (seen the movie in the theatres...).


Posted by tr1pp1n on 05-22-2005 09:20 PM:

imo not much better than the visa rip, granted it has a less distorted picture, it is clearly not as sharp as the visa release (comparing with zoom player forced aspect ratio sixteen nine ws)

Definitely, from viewing several rars, the colors are a LOT darker, and definitely not as vibrant.... timer or less vibrant / grainy picture ... lol i guess we wont all be happy til the dvd is out in 6 months.


Posted by directv on 05-22-2005 09:27 PM:

finally, a NEW release of Sith. congtratulations! not sure though if i should get this one or stick with visas workprint.

Nicer colours and the ar looks correct but cropped all round . At least it hasn't got timers I guess.

Very similar vid quality to original workprint just nicer colours in this one imo.


Posted by oqwarrior on 05-22-2005 09:35 PM:

Judging from the sample:

This release is a little better than the VISA DVDR release. The picture has a little too much red in it and is a little dark, but it definitely is not as pixelated as the workprint. Audio is crystal clear.

Posted by Twisted Nerve on 05-22-2005 09:38 PM:

is cropped a lot, but not sure if this is just because the workprint showed "too much" and final release was smaller, u can tell this by the bottom right jpg sample has a lot of the head cut off, but on the workprint, all of his head plus a little more is visible

guess i should buy a ticket and see what it looks like in a theatre!

from sample... nicer colours were in workprint, but hope this version stays in stereo throughout

Once again Many thanks TUN

Posted by katana on 05-22-2005 10:22 PM:

hmm, looks pretty good. compared to the other release, like many have said, timer vs slight degradation in quality. id take this release over the workprint. i'd rather lose a little bit of quality then see a timer, that would get annoying.

awesome release.

Personally I liked the workprint with the blurred out timer better, but that's just me (I'm not a fan of TC) But I will say TUN did a real nice job encoding and releasing this so quick; good job and a stellar release for all those TC fans. One thing I didn't like was the fact that it's 3 CD's!!, nonetheless; awesome release.

I'm just DVD spoiled

Good release. It's much clearer and less pixelated than the workprint. However, it's really really dark which is a shame. The opening scroll is in Russian which is amusing

Sound is perfect.

Can't wait for the DVD-R

Posted by Madmax on 05-23-2005 12:37 AM:

Just came back from the theater, glad i didnt spoil it all watching all of visa's, saw the first 1/2 hour and stopped it.
If Visa's source was left alone would of been the cat's ass!!
Sample seems like said before lil red and dark, havent tested on a tv yet, nice no more counters!!! great job nonetheless.
7/9/9


Posted by fluffinator on 05-23-2005 12:50 AM:

8/8/9

fairly dark, but the timecode is removed so that makes the slightly blurred TC an improvement in my books.

Just a note, i happened to have lucked into seeing this flick in the theatre opening night, and i can't say the workprint is missing any scenes.

I can't say for 100% because there was so much going on some minor scenes might have slipped thru, but as far as i can tell it wasn;t missing anything.


This realease is the one i'd recomend for now.

Hmmm TeleCine.. It didn't look much better than the POT SVCD in quality - in fact the POT-version is much less distorded in the video, even it's just a re-encode of the WP. Can't tell anything comparing sounds - haven't seen disc 3 of the POT-version, but I have watched the MoBsTeR-version, and I didn't have any audio-synch problems there on my standalone.

Bad TeleCine - could have been much better, but what the heck - I said I would give huge props to the first PROPER TS, and here is a TC, so the Greets go to The Underground Network..

Wonder if the TC-machine they used have been a "home-made" one..Seen TC's that have been SO much better..

Video: 6
Audio: 7
Movie: 10 - for the first Cinema-version.

Post

ok i dont think my last post went through(i think its cause i dont have more then 10 posts) but anyways i just wanted to comment on how most of the recent movies contained blocks in them.....im sure you guys can all see this, how come nobody comments on this?.....plus how does a good quality video wind up containing these?....and how can you rate the movies that have blockyness in it higher then a 7 or 8?.....its really one of the most annoying things ever....id rather it be a little grainy then contain blocks

*unleashed had them also, and a whole bunch of others i recently checked out*

i hope this one gets through....thanks to this site for being so thorough


Posted by DOUGH on 05-23-2005 01:18 AM:

Nice job TUN! The video is a little dark and the reds/oranges do seem to bleed a little, but all in all a nice release. I wouldn't say the colors are better than some of the other releases (because of the bleeding) but still very nice.

The audio is spot on. As for the movie, I seen it at the theaters at the midnight showing, great movie.

And is that Russian at the beginning? Looks weird.

9/9/10



Posted by Sadistic on 05-23-2005 01:26 AM:

watched the sample
a tad dark, but sharp picture, audio is herd well, a tad distant
this is to be expected from a TC
this is a high quality tc svcd release
excellent tun

Not all 100% desynced its desynced for like 5 minutes then its fine for 20 or so tan desynces again etc. A ton of glitches everywhere. If you look at cd r25 you will see some of the desyncing and alot of the glitches in video


Posted by Neomic2005 on 05-23-2005 01:52 AM:

Video is glitchy in places like stated before, and the the audio goes out of sync in spots... Hopefully we can get a proper soon. As for the red tint, the movie is kindof in a red tint being as this is the darkest of the Star Wars movies, so I dont know if thats the reason why, but the actual movie does have a red tint...

Video: 8
Audio: 8
Movie: 8.5

Hopefully someone fixes this up or a proper/repack (whichever would solve the problem) is released.

Nice work, TUN...


Posted by Redemption198 on 05-23-2005 01:53 AM:

Looks nice to me, still got that orangey/red tint to it, and its a bit dark, but it was dark at the theatre too, but overall very nice release.

Audio is good, but not as nice a Stereo signal as the WP.

8/7/10

We are being spoiled with this film though, a WP on its opening night and a decent TC within a few days, and No dodgy cams or TS for this film hopefully now

9/9/10


Posted by weedchemist on 05-23-2005 02:51 AM:

counter vs red pic and sync problems

Im not really sure what to pick, I know counters are annoying but 2 times through (once on a tv with Noise reduction built in (that was really good looking on a 27") and in my room on my small 15" which was still good, but I then saw the flaws in the video) I can say when you get into any movie with counters, you look past them, and watch the movie not the time ticking, but it always gets distracting once in a while, The TC, red and random sync problems... well the color can be changed through the TVs so thats not that bad, but sync? thats a slight problem. so you have the toss up slight pixelation and timer vs in/out of sync and miscolered even with adjustments... also cropping. Im just not sure, I would keep the TC if it was done right, but its not so either one will do fine until an internal TC that is correct (now would be proper or hell just a re release sound is nice on WP but obviously its a nuke soundtrack no other than the original have synced it right) or dvdsc... well no not from lucas.. so til a dvd rip have fun waiting =c)... this rls I give a 7/8/9 movie is awesome from a non star wars fan point


Posted by meadowdale on 05-23-2005 02:53 AM:

what more can be said about this release other than could it be possible they used the WP audio which we know had syncing problems if remuxed and here again cd3 is having the exact same issues

just a thought


Posted by SkullWolf on 05-23-2005 02:56 AM:

Rofl-0z at the Cyrillic crawl.
Yeah, it's cropped a little.
Here's a comparison between this and WP cropping:

Posted by pisanty on 05-23-2005 03:39 AM:

The workprint was obviously dumped quickly the issues with AR and Timers aside the "VISA" release has gotten huge exposure, Be happy that the work print got out!

The workprint has been added to my collection of rare early edition movies.


I dont think its getting much better cropping the star wars universe is always stealing details from the set and surrounds.

This release gets solid 8/8/9.5

P.S This RLS looks nice on a projector screen.

Darn I got all happy and downloaded this one, but turns out the Workprint has better audio, much brighter picture and isnt cropped as much, The only advantage this release has is the lack of counters onscreen.

Comparison shot I made:
http://img266.echo.cx/img266/5738/ep3tcvswp7mu.jpg


Posted by J-Bond on 05-23-2005 04:09 AM:

From the sample, the TC is definitely darker, and I did think that the audio was superior to the Workprint. Both look like good releases, imo.

Would it be possible to take the slice of video from the TC and overlay the timers of the Workprint? Possibly blur the edges of the slice of video, bump the brightness up and merge the two to try to get the best of both worlds?


Posted by ou812 on 05-23-2005 04:24 AM:

I think the Russian theater had Russian Subs, thats why the bottom is cropped so much. Over all not-bad, aside from the flaws.

As far as I've heard, the WP actually included an extra scene that was removed from the final product....havent heard anything about missing scenes, but I did see a long story on CNN about the leaked WP, claiming an arrest is going to be made. Idiots should have cut off that opening countdown that revealed the TRUE source. Guess some people learn the hard way.....

As for this TUN rls, I'm impressed. Not quite as great as their Kingdom of Heaven TC, but who knows, it could be because of the generally dark nature of much of the film, amongst other things.

7 | 8 | 7

I'm sure we'll see them repack this one this week to nix that nuke and clear up the minor sync problems. Thanks TUN


Posted by Anchorman on 05-23-2005 06:10 AM:

Nice job,.... and thanx to TUN for the 1st TC...
i didnt find the sync issue that big of a deal,.. even on a 60" screen,... maybe too much engrossed in the Flik,.. it's a great movie...

This is nice, but not their best for TCs. It does have a red tint to it and I can deal with it. It is a bit dark, but still, it's good without the counter. I'm glad to have both and that's enough for me.

Good release.
Awesome movie.
If you got the Visa release, stick with it as the audio isnt far off from this one.

video - 6.5. as others have stated, dark and too red, but still very watchable. oh, and russian title/scroller. technical aside: for a number of reasons, like backwards-compatibility with b&w tv sets, the color (chroma) signal of video is at a much lower resolution than the brightness (luma) signal. this is most visible in the reds. i think this (plus the oversaturation of red) may be why some people mentioned that this looks like it has compression artifacts. it doesn't look blockier than usual to me, but players/decoders vary as far as video smoothing goes.

audio - 6.5. good overall, but it was analogue at some stage. at 0:30:00 on the first disc, you can hear gsm interference, which means that someone had a cellphone within about 10' of analog audio recording equipment when the audio was recorded. more tech: i wonder if a different audio was sourced for this. international releases of movies are often trimmed a bit. if the audio was pulled from a domestic release while the video was russian, that could account for the desync on disc 3. (note: haven't gotten to disc 3 yet, so i haven't seen any desync.)

movie - 7.5. easily the best of the new trilogy. anakin needs to whine/mope/be sappy less and kick ass more.


Posted by BigRicFishSti on 05-23-2005 02:11 PM:

Posted by bbogert on 05-23-2005 03:47 PM:

As stated before, the video is definitely very dark on this rls. Audio isn't bad, but the WP seems to have the edge in this category. Syncing wasn't as bad as stated in earlier posts, but it is noticeable in certain scenes. Cropped, but nowhere near as bad as that old Constantine TS. If you can get past the timers, stick with the WP. If not, grab this.

Posted by Yosho on 05-23-2005 04:06 PM:

hmm.. tun rushed it a bit

russian source, prolly had subs which they cropped off...?
ill give the video a 6 audio a 5 cuz of synce issues and movie a 7.

come on Saosin Proper! im sure saosin will get a US source soon and proper this release, im sure tun just wanted to be first and didnt check their release before putting it out. dunno if its even a tc maybe a semi good russian ts?
I have a fealing they got their video source from a russian group and just added english audio.. assumptions.

After converting with tmpeg, I didnt have a glitch problem, nor was the desync that bad. Only noticed it once, and it wasnt bad at all.
Between the "2" releases (wp vs. tc) they both have their issues. It's just up to you to decide what you can live with, and what ya cannot.
I'd like to see a ctp ts release, fixing brightness and russian issues, and ridding of the timers. lol I guess time will tell. Does anyone else remeber "something.we.had.laying.around"? I sure do =P

I must say this is a bit confusing: VCDQ says it is nuked due to unsynchronized audio on cd2, while EVERY single poster here is complementing this one for it's "great" -counterless- video

As far as I can tell, cd2 is a bit out of sync. Video is ok, especially on TV it is good (aren't they always)

This quality is even worse than the Star.Wars.Episode.III.INTERNAL.WP.DVDR because the whole movie is kind of red and dark whole the time the only good thing about this "TC" is that it has no timers

Well I too have had a look on both the wp and this new release. Personally, I suggest that you stick with the wp, if you can get past the timer, that is. The video of the wp is not as dark as this one, and the audio in the wp is also far better!!

First of all, the audio for this release has to have been recorded via an analouge machine, as I can also hear the mobil phone interphearing in the audio track. Rather annoying.
Secondly, some of the wp sound track indeed was in stereo, this is deffenetlly only in mono, all the way through!
Last but not least, this audio for the tun-release, was clearly taken from an international release, as audio played about three percent faster in comparecent to the wp (US audio). Try and listen closley to the two audio versions, and I'm sure you can hear what I mean.

Rating: video 5, audio 4, movie 9.


Posted by Redemption198 on 05-23-2005 11:38 PM:

mallanikkelsen, yeah the sound is better on the WP, sound great through A Surround system, this doesnt sound to hot, but is fine enough.
This is a PAL release, so yeah it is speeded up by 4% nearly all TC are.

Picture is better in my opinion on this and is only too dark on the PC, looks fine on the TV to me, and i remember thinking this film was too dark in the theatre anyway.

BiggD23, putting SVCD's on a DVD like that wont work in all DVD players, they do on 3 out of my 4 players, but thats why some people still have to re-encode.

Rated on a scale of
10= DVD or digital source quality
1= steaming pile of dung

video= 6.5 (clear video, did not see any major artifacting, way to much red hue) Over all very watchable

Sound= 6.5 (clear audio, only noticed a few spots with some distorted sound, only a few spots with desync issues) Again very watchable

Movie= n/a (not my place to rate what I thought of a movie since tastes will vary..) however do yourself a favor and go see it at a movie house its well worth the price of admission.

The slight desync I heard bothered me less than the agressive use of the red hue button...but a few tweeks on the old tv set and presto a watchable movie, worth it if you can't stand the timer in the smack dab middle of the movie.

A descent release!!


Posted by RUiNU on 05-24-2005 02:40 AM:

I dont understand why this was nuked? I put all 3 mpg's on one dvd and I did notice a slite out of sync issue but slight. This movie and rip were great, if you dont have this rip wait for is the dvd rip

8/8/9


Posted by kewlix on 05-24-2005 02:49 AM:

Little Help

When i try to run tit says codec isnt working but i just got the new k-lite codec pack that was updated the 19th which codecs should i use?

::EDIT:: Codec packs BREAK PC's!! All you need is an MPEG2 codec or FFDShow - Neversoft::


Posted by mikethomey on 05-24-2005 03:44 AM:

"10= DVD or digital source quality
1= steaming pile of dung"

ah thats a big negative sir! lol you see you cant get DVD quality from an SVCD mpeg-2 encoding...ah, yeah *cough*

anyway

few sync problems noticed on cd3 but it was only for a moment and since most of cd3 is fighting, you cant really tell if there are any other sync issues because it wouldnt be enough to look any different then the sound.

8(vid was a little dark but tv fixes that just fine)

7.5(audio had sync issues, but where they were didnt really matter)

9(whoever bad mouths this movie is just too slow to understand the story as a whole in star wars, if ya dont pay attention to them all without crying then you wont get the full effect)

Just too dark

I wish the WP hadn't come out, otherwise I would have enjoyed this rls much more. It was just too dark. 5/6/8


Posted by claygucci on 05-24-2005 05:08 AM:

Excellent Quality
8/8/10
But can someone please tell me what the text says in the start the film? I know it's in Russian, I'm asking what the English words would be.


Posted by tigerwlf on 05-24-2005 06:27 AM:

The dark picture is easily fixed by running it through vegas and adjusting the brightness just slightly couple of points.

The audio really needed to be adjusted it appears to come from a mono source and low frequency one, so bump up the frequency and give a better channel separation.

but with just a couple of tweaks it kicks.

Its watchable in its original format (its in pal so those of us in the ntsc countries will need to convert anyway if you wanna watch it on the tube).

8,5,9.

the fight scene with dooku had to be the best (think I spelled his name right).
it gave me that chills reminding me of luke in ROTJ.

Have to see this in the theatre.


Posted by The Ironduke on 05-24-2005 07:28 AM:

films a little outa sync but not too bad, film was very entertaining however Lucas cant direct to save his life and should have handed the trilogy to better directors

he makes all 3 films look like power point presentations


Posted by yukichigai on 05-24-2005 09:39 AM:

Out of sync + speed issue

Release is okay, but honestly I like the workprint better. Sure, the workprint was encoded a-la ass, but this is encoded in the wrong freakin' framerate. I did a quick compare with the workprint source and confirmed it: the movie has been sped up so it's 25fps. TUN may be able to get away with this on Telecines of films like Hitch, but on the third Star Wars? C'mon guys, do it right. I realize 80% of the world viewing audience uses PAL, but the film was shot in NTSC format.

The video quality was poor, needed to be run through a few filters before release. I didn't notice the out-of-sync stuff that much, but it was there.

Video: 5 -- Stop being lazy and filter your video, then encode at the proper f%$#ing framerate.

Audio: 7 -- Out of sync, not that much better than what the workprint had. Possibly worse.

Movie: 9 -- It was pretty cool, even if Samuel L. Jackson can't handle a lightsaber properly. Too bad the previous two were steaming piles.

As for the release- 8/ 8 / 9 1\2. Yes it was dark. as for theLucas remark. Give me a break. Can't direct to save his life? WTF? I'm not trying to start a mini war here but go to http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0000184/ . Lucas made Indiana Jones, THX 1138, and American Graffiti to name a few. Sure he's made some stinkers in his time (radioland murders, what the hell was that), but "he cant direct to save his life." BWHHAHAHAHAH. Straight to the institution for you buddy. Your gone!

:: George only wrote indiana jones, they're directed by Steven Speilberg
:: This thread isnt for your faggot bickerings, comment on the release or get the fuck out. -D
:: P.S. George Lucas sucks.

Video quality is the worst of the bunch. Poorer quality than the workprint releases.

Audio is clear but has almost non-existent bass.

Movie: Was Palpatine great or what? :thumbsup:

BTW, ripped the MPGs from the BIN/CUE files a couple dozen different ways. Reencoded video/audio to DVD format then burned with Nero. Somehow the sync problems are totally fixed. I can't recreate the steps I took tonight. I was going crazy.



Posted by oo420oo on 05-24-2005 04:15 PM:

russian source, crazy red tint, a couple sync issues, its cropped to hide russian subs, kinda dark, pic is worse than the WP (IMO)
video 5
audio 7
movie 8

Thanks to TUN; your effort is much appreciated!

You gotta see this one in the theatre... One of the few releases well worth the money...

yeah should be closed, this realease is fine cept for the cropping and i didnt notice any sync issues(but i only watched cd1 and 3) 6/8/10


Posted by afnipoo on 05-24-2005 06:37 PM:

i put all cds together and noticed no sync problem as for the russian opening i took the workprint opening and joined the files to fit together and made it into a dvd and no problem at all.

Great job TUN! Much better then the workprint, The video is nice if you watch it on a tv and not on your computer screen. Here are my ratings (;

9/8/9

Thanks for a great release TUN! And keep them coming


Posted by razorbladex90 on 05-25-2005 12:14 AM:

dissapointing. C'mon guys this is star wars! it deserves something special, not just a bog standard cropped russian TC. Its not the worst TC I've seen but its pretty far from the best. I'd say I've seen TS's that are better than this. Not what I want for a Star Wars film. The film on the other hand is f**king awsome!!!

Video - 6 (dark as shit, could barely see anakin burn and other dark stuff)

Audio - 8 (i listened through regular tv speakers so it sounded fine...only big ass systems would find somewthing wrong

Movie - 10 IMO, Star Wars is Jesus to me. Acting was OK, but everything else owned my un-soul

But seriously...is someone gonna fix this thing...I want to watch it best I can but I don't have the software/time/good computer to do this stuff. Many of you keep mentioning making it kick ass by fixing the pic and audio, why can't another group do this or one of you guys send it to a group or something.

i cant believe im reading this shit, you ungrateful little tosser

if you dont like it, then get off your moaning little fat ass and buy a telecine machine yourself, and get some direct audio, and see if you do any better, these groups are taking massive risks to release these films for free...yes for free!!! so stop your bitching because soon these groups will be going underground, and you will be left with sh1t cams...

you just cant please some people can you!!

anyway, i watched this through xbox media player on the tv...yes the tv!!! i cant understand why people comment on these releases after looking at them on their pc monitors....view them through the tv and then comment. yes, i had to turn the brightness up a little, and the coulour down on the tv a little for the red scenes, but hey, ive got a remote control that sorts that out with a few clicks on the controller.

basically, many thanks tun, keep it up,
infact, many thanks to all groups for putting your necks on the line for us movie watchers

:: See kids, THIS is a good example of what NOT to post. -K::

all sounds so horrible for a rls i think is very good...

The onley complaint from above that bothers me is the prologue,
but not too much we all know whats going on.

Just got around to watching this and thought it was very very watchable. IMO this was way better than the workprint which I thought was terrible. Didn't really notice the out of sync issues and I could live with the over cropping. Not a bad job all round seeing as it was free!

8/7/8

I loved the flick and while I don't think it deserves to be nuked, I'm kinda glad it was.

This movie deserves/needs to be done better.


Posted by katalist on 05-26-2005 06:34 AM:

I dont belive some of you people giving this such mad ratings, If you watch it on a nice tv and turn the brightness up a little its perfect, i burned it up and watched it on a big nice tv and it was perfect. Thank you again TUN, because this version OWNS the workprint.


Posted by IHopeSheChoke on 05-26-2005 07:16 AM:

Looks better on a tv.

8/7/8

Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the alternative to those huge clocks.


My rating:

8/8/8.5

This movie has some real dark scenes that wont look good until the movie comes out on DVD.

Talking no problems....

I had no problems with sync issues on the mpegs or the svcd (when burned).....

However, I only burn at 16x regardless of CD-R rating and Burner speed, used TDK CD-Rs, and NEC DVD Burner to burn the SVCDs, checked CD2 and CD3, NO ISSUES on a Norcent DVD Player....


Posted by BiggD23 on 05-26-2005 04:18 PM:

V - 8 (after some minor tweaks)
A - 7
M - ?

I converted to DVD and filtered the video a bit, it looks much better now. For anyone who wants to do the same...in TMPGEnc I used the color correction filter with +20 Brightness and -75 Red to improve the video. Dark scenes are more viewable now and everyone's skin isn't pink.


Posted by Tyranthaxis on 05-26-2005 06:38 PM:

7.5/8/8 DANKA TUN!

Joined all three Mpegs and TMPenc'd using VBR II , encoded 16:9 NTSC @ fullscreen (Keep Aspect Ratio) took 6 hours, came out nearly perfect. Audio dont desync till the end of the movie and its hardley noticable.

I'm new here, so I don't know how the rating system works, but just to confirm, the sync problems aren't bad at all.


Posted by bratt31999 on 05-28-2005 02:57 AM:

fireworksordie,
I'm sorry but I have to ask, what exactly do you meen by
"sync problems aren't bad at all"


Posted by nickels on 05-29-2005 08:12 PM:

I have an SVCDTODVD rerip of the original Tun Svcd files.

7/7/9

Video is dark, but it's not terrible, and some scenes are bright so it in not noticeable.
Audio is slightly out of sync at times, but not that big of a deal. Sometimes overall movie/sound is a tad faster then normal, so people sound like they sucked in a bit of helium.

Overall the movie is very watchable despite minor issues.
