Nice release. Only got 1/5 of it so far, but looks nice and in tact. Untouched video!! Can't ask for anything more. Nice job Corrupt.

Good movie! Based on the horror of Rwanda in 1994 (duh!). If this stuff interests you, read the book "Shake Hands with the Devil" by Gen. Romeo Dallaire. It's a much less censored (less? completely uncensored), dark read. I know this ain't a book discussion forum, but that is some seriously good stuff (for those who want extras ).

To make the voterphiles happy.

8/10 Video (based on first 20 mins) - Untouched, but hey, it ain't perfect. Best you'll get though (ie: same is if you bought it), so hope you like it.

10/10 DVD-R - Untouched video. What more can you ask for. Extras? Read the book

Just going by the NFO, how does a DVD-9 source have untouched video even with all the extras stripped on a 122 minute feature film?

A dvd-9 is more than a dvd-5 so it can be a 6gig one...

I haven't seen the release, but...

Just because it's a DVD9 doesn't mean that the original used all of the available space on the disc, or that the original video was encoded to the maximum bit rate allowable.

Once the extras and any other audio tracks are removed, and if the menu is small enough, it is very possible to have untouched video on a 122 minute movie.

I was thinking something similar BigTim, but it does happen, i have quite a few longer films that would fit onto a DVD5 for just the movie, and some films just compress better than others.

Video looks good to me, not the best ive ever saw, but nice enough.

Audio is good, but nothing special.

9/9/?

There is a fix out for this, but i personally had no problems with this on the 2 DVD players and an X-Box, but the fix is easy enough to do anyway.

Did anyone actually need that fix? I had this DVD tried out on 6 players (2 of which god awful players, 1 from Walmart (Symphonic) and 1 bought at the grocery store). Seems like a pretentious excuse to post a patch for something that seems to work.

If you have problems playing Corrupt's Hotel Rwanadain in your standalone or you
haven't burned it yet then this NFO is for you. Corrupt apparently uploaded the
source vobs to a IOFTPD FTP server in raw (IFO/BUP/VOB) format. Now anyone that
has used ioftpd knows that it makes hidden files inside directories that are
created through the FTP. Since this file (_IOFTPD.) ended up in the root of
their dvd image, as well as in the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS dir they either don't
have their operating system set to show hidden files, didn't check the folders
before imaging, or simply did not know that these files were not part of the dvd
(lol?). Anyway it appears to be the presence of these non standard files in the
AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS directories that causes some DVD players to crash upon
inserting the disc. Upon inserting a burned copy of Corrupt's image into my
Panasonic 5 disc changer I noticed that it would read the disc and then give a no
disc error. However, I checked it in my JVC S65GD and my Philips DVP-642 and both
seemed to play it fine. This lead me to believe that the problem might lie with
the non-standard files that were present on the DVD. After removing the non-standard
files from the root directory, audio_ts, and video_ts and correcting sectors with
IFOEdit I was able to reburn it and get it to work on all players that were available
for me to test it on. Now due to the fact that files must be removed from the original
image in orer to fix the problem a PPF patch can not be made. However, I feel that
fixing this DVD is easy enough that anyone should be able to do it by following the
simple instructions provided in this NFO and therefore it should not be necessary to
repack or proper Corrupt's release. But if this had been more complicated to fix
then a proper or a repack probably would have been necessary so hopefully for
everyones sake they will check their shit next time.

*taken from .nfo mentioned above since somebody would rather just comment on something I will post the information here

Ya I have an old Pioneer that just gave me a black screen, I deleted the files then, walla. It worked in the Pioneer. But my other DVD players it worked ok. Was able to do it w/o needing the patch, hehe.

Sounds good. Strange part is that you have a DV-333 (if I remember correctly), which was one of the players that I played it on and it worked fine un-patched. Odd to say the least.

A simple fix

A simple way to fix this release is to unpack the image from the rar files. Mount the image in deamontools. Copy the vobfiles in "VIDEO_TS" folder to your hard-drive.
Start Nero and make a DVD-video and choose all copied files and drop them in the "VIDEO_TS" folder.

The only thing wrong with the source image is that it contains three "ftp" files that should not be there. One is under the dvd root, the second is in the "ADUIO_TS" folder and the third is in the "VIDEO_TS" folder. It is easy to spot.

This takes no time to fix.

Enjoy!
