First RLS looks like a good one

By the sample, it appears to be a solid release. This is definitely watchable and much better than the previous release. I do wish though, that it was possible to go full screen. Let's hope that this group continues to make future releases.

At some points through out this release the subs goto a different language, even though it doesnt last long still a bit annoying. Still well worth the dl.


Posted by suna on 07-25-2004 05:57 PM:

wow greate quality... this is a 8/9/x on this one...

now just to watch the rest off the movie :-D


Posted by CiASpook on 07-25-2004 05:57 PM:

Good quality. 8/9/9

Looks like we have new contender in the TS scene.


Posted by 404notfound on 07-25-2004 05:57 PM:

Ok. So before you lot start lets cover some of the rules. I'm fed up of these comment sections spiraling into a bitch fight.. I'm going to post these rules as much as possible so there is no excuse. Fall out of line and you are gone.

1 NO REQUESTING (This is obvious. Ask and get banned)

2 NO SLAGGING OFF OTHER USERS. I am fucking sick to death of people slagging each other off. Stick to rating the quality and note any problems you feel with the release. SLAG OFF OTHER USERS AND I WILL BAN YOU!

3 I do not want to hear any shit about "Ooooh. Where's Centropy/Video CD" or "I'll wait for Centropy/VIDEO CD"

4 IMPORTANT I want no... and i mean NO theories posted in any part of this site about who you believe maVen are. If i see it then you get an instant ban.

5 If you cant abide by the above rules. GET THE FUCK OUT. Nobody wants you here!

so I'm guessing thats what the original 4 posts were, a violation of the over abused rules?

Thanks for posting that, it should help, especially n a thread for an anticipated version of this particular movie.

Do these Bourne movies need to be watched in order to understand or not?


Posted by Behappy on 07-25-2004 06:01 PM:

Very nice rip just unpacked cd1 picture is good sound is good will be watching this later .

Well done on the ts


Posted by brr8760 on 07-25-2004 06:12 PM:

Sample is very nice-- the picture is sharp and colorful. Might be a tad dark. I don't trust computer viewing. Will report on the actual CD, on an actual TV. so far, so quick & good....

Edit: W-o-w. I thought the days of this kind of quality were over. Me thinks maVen has resurrected the ghost of VideoCD. Many many thanks.


Posted by crapper on 07-25-2004 06:12 PM:

ok
good sound.. could be a bit brighter (but then again, could be me or just the sample)
sound 8

picture bit dark.. very nice. but there is flickering.

7.5

ok
the movie
i donno

just a sample check..

and well people please post real reviews.. and not the junk i read above.

k well i'd get this one cuase i dont think there will be a much better version around

let me edit 1 thing
the subs are french.. so if u dont speak/read french dont watch it


Posted by razzy on 07-25-2004 06:16 PM:

WOW

Very well done Maven excellent job! Just finished and wow im impressed. Keep it up and dont stop. With quality like that your gonna rise right to the top.


Posted by sooka on 07-25-2004 06:20 PM:

oooh er, i'm with the firefighter on this one... vid's a lil darker than perfect, but bloody good!

I'd say vid=8, sound=9, movie=? not watched it yet


:edit: forgot to say, sample scene made me really wanna watch the movie! Also, sound thru all five speakers... sooo movie should be good to watch like that

I think you should watch them in order but its not absolutly nessacary. But what you should do is read the books, they are great

And for the release, 8.5/9/9

the quality is very good impressive release and pretty speedy for a good version cheers maven


Posted by DapperDan on 07-25-2004 07:21 PM:

It's a fine release. Very clear image with a minimum of pixelation.
Hope the film is as good as The Bourne Identity.
And as the other user said, read the Ludlum books, they are excellent.


Posted by Fuchs on 07-25-2004 07:30 PM:

It´s a very good quality (video & audio)!
But, it´s a little dark so my voting ist:

8/9/8

THX 4 this!


Posted by SilverSoldier on 07-25-2004 07:54 PM:

Great stuff, thanks maVen...hopefully see more from you guys. competition makes things better for everyone.


Posted by vip3r on 07-25-2004 07:58 PM:

Yeah good rip, great sound & picture -- although it is kind-of dark. Before i get this one, can anyone tell me if this has motion blur, and if so .. is it very noticeable/annoying? Thanks

8/8/?


Posted by clearm3 on 07-25-2004 08:03 PM:

anyone think this is a film to better off catch 1st in a theater or is it okay to catch it here and be satisfied?


Posted by clearm3 on 07-25-2004 08:08 PM:

great sample


Posted by qbs on 07-25-2004 08:33 PM:

good copy nice and clear this will do for now then i will wait for the dvdr later 8/9/?


Posted by neatz on 07-25-2004 08:45 PM:

no shit, i felt like i was on a rollercoaster ride at one point. after that VERY long motion sequence, i felt like i had lost 10 lbs.

as for the person who asked if you needed to watch them in order, i would suggest it. i haven't watched the first one in some time, and i was somewhat lost in the second one. its not completely necessary, but it will help you fill in some holes that are left over from the first film's plot.

also, this one was rather disappointing with franka potente playing only about 10 mins or so (a very small role) in this film before her character's demise (she's such a great actress).

x/x/8


Posted by tr1pp1n on 07-25-2004 09:00 PM:

ya i saw it in theaters too, i thought it was a really good movie though, and prolly worth buying on dvd... however nice ts from sample...

Posted by CrashRoX on 07-25-2004 10:00 PM:

nice rip, colors seem pretty good, sound is good. 8/8/7

I forgot to mention a few of the scenes have subs, but they arent in english :\ Kind of annoying. I enjoyed the film either way.

Posted by NorQue on 07-25-2004 11:46 PM:

*from Sample*

6/9/x

Picture really is to dark, not bad, but to dark... to adjust that the encoder seems to have set gamma correction a bit to high - but, as already said, still watchable, IMO. Sound was quite good, at least I couldn't notice anything bad with it. Hope the movie is going to be as good as the Bourne Identity, as I found that one quite entertaining .

-- NorQue


Posted by polel on 07-25-2004 11:49 PM:

Video is about 7. Sound is about an 8. Havent seen entire pic yet-cooking dinner. The forced subs in CD1 are French when they were speaking another(Russian I think) lanquage. I noticed it the 1st time after about 7min 15sec into the movie. Do forced subs come up alot at the theatre realease? Anyway to put English instead?


Posted by corvex on 07-25-2004 11:55 PM:

Posted by Redemption1980 on 07-26-2004 02:03 AM:

Looks great to me, slight motion blur, but that is normal.
Dont know why u think this is too dark, maybe too dark compared to a DVD but for a TS, looks damn near perfect to me, though i am only judging from the sample, it might be worse in different scenes.

Sound is perfect, i like the music in the sample.

8/9/?


Posted by EagleClaw on 07-26-2004 02:09 AM:

nice rip. pic is pretty good and sound is excellent. hope to see more quality rips from you guys


8/9/8


Posted by x757x on 07-26-2004 02:59 AM:

some motion blur, not too bad. lots of jumping camera angles, easy to lose track of whats going on if you step out for a second

french (i'm almost positive, but i dont speak it) subtitles = didnt understand a few scenes.

definitely watchable


Posted by cloudx1111 on 07-26-2004 03:20 AM:

Subtitles are French but why are they French?


Posted by Mezt^Up on 07-26-2004 03:28 AM:

haha niiice, maVen, hope there's more, only one complaint, i would have likes to of seen a little less cropping, but no worries, really good release!

V: 8 (really nice, will watch good on the big screen)
A: 8 (gj maVen)
M:9 (kickass movie!!)

Posted by `maxwe||` on 07-26-2004 04:53 AM:

good TS...night scenes are really dark but overall watchable.....good audio. can't read the subtitles though :-\....about 1/2 way through it and the movie sucks worse then the 1st one. probably won't finish watching it.


Posted by ryls on 07-26-2004 05:07 AM:

well there was 3 books so there should be 3 movies... and yes the books are great i read all 3 after the first movie.

as for this release it looks great im realistic when it comes to ts's and they dont get much better than this with this type of movie
8/9/9


Posted by neoterixx on 07-26-2004 06:44 AM:

Posted by nitemare on 07-26-2004 07:50 AM:

7/8/6

Release was near perfect with the exception of the SUBS..Not in english. Pic/Sound were very good..

the movie itself I think doesnt deserve the high marks. It was too CONFUSING and seemed like all it was about was car chases/running chases/ just chases in general.. Got a little worn out after awhile.. I still couldnt understand all of it.. Decent watch...


Posted by valentine on 07-26-2004 08:42 AM:

NYPD Blue shaky camera bull shit

What's up yall,

I'm curious, is it just me or does this shaky camera bull shit piss anyone else off. I don't know the exact name of the stupid cop show that does this, but i can't stand it. What happened to the days of filming with a still camera. Ohhhh i get it, if you zoom in the camera pointlessly and shake it a little, it will somehow make a scene more intense? Bull shit, all it does is make me dizzy. I hope this trend dies, and soon.

Well, now that i've vented, this TS is great, movie is kick ass (except for the above).

8/8/8 (would be 9.5 if the camera were still)

Posted by AddNtoX on 07-26-2004 12:56 PM:

obviously same cammer as videoCD (doesnt the french subs give it away) but thats where the rls is floored imho the french subs spoil watching it for me, Hope someone rl's an internal or a proper with english subs, cuz for a movie like this its just gotta have em.

8/10/8

there are not much subbed scenes and they are not important anyway.

how would i know if they're important since i cant understand em seemed important enough to me its likened to having no sound. The rls is good tho, nice pic great sound....but the subs r irrtating one thing i did notice is those MPAA dots when they flased up they were all over the screen, i guess they think they can make it harder to remove em doing that


Posted by brut7 on 07-26-2004 03:07 PM:

Another reviewer mentioned he'd seen it in the theatre and the motion blur was present there as well. Not that it matters really but a 2 cd release thats this good is nice also.

9/9/8

PS My GF speaks french so no probs with the subtitles here. She's going to chatter away anyway so might as well make good use of it


Posted by PsYCoTiC on 07-26-2004 04:05 PM:

neoterixx

Neotrixx, my home DVD player does this with SVCD as well. If you want to keep on CD try converting to VCD and reburning. My DVD player cuts the last 7-12 mins form each CD. Good luck and hope this helps.


Posted by pjfan281 on 07-26-2004 04:39 PM:

little dark in parts, but still good.

8/9/8

i pray for an english source one day. takes time translating french subs!


Posted by Miller on 07-26-2004 04:47 PM:

This is a Great Rls. a new group that has a nice rls that doesn't happen offten. Video is nice but a little dark , french sub's sucks though. sounds good to . movie is good never watched it all yet!

Posted by bratt31999 on 07-26-2004 06:09 PM:

Video Was good (a little dark at times and a little fuzzy), Audio way great. As stated before there were sub-titles that were not in English but other than that a great release. I havent seen anything this good since..... lets see..... Spiderman 2. Good job. I hope to see a lot more releases by this group.

7/9/9


Posted by aximsite on 07-26-2004 06:24 PM:

just finished the movie, great audio, decent video. video hue and satration still have improvement potential, should spend more time on post prodution. High quality release over all. Oh, and the partial sub is quite annoying.


Posted by BloodyGrape on 07-26-2004 07:13 PM:

very nice release, strikingly reminicent to videocd/centropy in quality (hmmmm...)

pic is nice and widescreen, sharp, with pretty solid colors. a bit of a blur on fast motion, but about as good as TS can get. sound is really amazing... from the sample, it has alot of little details that show up when you blast your speakers. very nice, no hiss at all, clear as a bell. some of the best TS sound I've heard.

movie was solid too. overall a fantastic release.

8.5/9.5/8

I'm not sure if this is the show you're thinking of but the cop show The Shield on FX does that bullcrap.
ugh, i couldn't even watch a whole episode as the camera work made me sick, the zooming in, abrut moving, makes the show look more like a homemade cop show than a professional tv drama.

About the quality. looks like the same source that videocd was getting theirs from, 7/9/8.
One thing i noticed about these "good" TS of late is that they're sharpness and color doesn't compare to some of the ones we've gotten in the past. came across a old TS of sea biscuit, DAMN! if it wasn't for the cropping i would have guessed a screener, colors and sharpness were amazing, not dvd but better than vhs->vcd. didn't have the typical uneven lighting and tinted colors. I love these TS we have now but just surpried that I forgot how we've had ones looking that good a long time ago.

PS if you want english subs, get one of the cam releases, parents dont read french so I screen grabbed all the subs from the CAM release and printed up a nice translation sheet for them =)
Only about 15 scenes total of subs and all the text adds up only to about a small paragraph total.

I would like to say this one time, and I won't mention it again about this"new" group, then I will post my comments on the movie's quality. I am convinced that this new group has some ties to VideoCD. I just watched the entire release (which I do EVERYTIME I POST ABOUT RELEASES ON HERE, UNLIKE MANY PEOPLE WHO POST A REVIEW BASED ON THE SAMPLES, LAZY FUCKAS) and this group's quality SMACKS of VideoCD's. If I were told that this group is VideoCD under a differernt name, I'd have no problem believing it. Either they have the same silver supplier, or they have someone from VideoCD that works for them. In any event, this group's quality is WICKED. Both video AND audio are both on the level that many of us have been "spoiled" by as of late.
Quality of this release is definitely on the upper levels. Audio is from a crisp, clean feed, and video is clear, allthough a tad bit cropped. Bitrate was increased to DVD, 4500 kb/s and played on my standalone. I didn't even notice the motion blur that many of you spoke of. As a matter of fact I don't remember seeing any artifacts at all. The camera jiggled around quite a bit, even on some of the talking scenes, but it wasn't the supplier's camera, that's the way the movie was actually filmed. If you see it in the theater, it does the same thing. It's that "kinetic action" type of filming style. When Russian was spoken, the subtitles were in French. That's no big deal, as there wasn't enough Russian spoken in the movie to make that much of a difference.
To the group "maVen" (or whoever you are), you guys are top notch. You appear out of NOWHERE and produce releases that are up to par with the big boys. My hat goes off to you and I look forward to seeing MANY MORE quality releases from you guys!

It's really too bad that we can't donate something to these groups for basically risking jail time by taking the time to come up with these top quality releases that allow us users to keep a little bit of extra money in our pockets by not having to go to the movies EVERY weekend, and instead watching these things in the privacy of our homes. I know they do it for "fun" and all that, but just like sites like this one give us the option to "donate" if we like the free service they provide for us, they should have some sort of way where certain release groups have a way that we can donate some cash flow through Paypal or whatever. But I'm guessing that with the "delicacy" of this whole movie issue, that's just another way that they can be traced. Too bad. I'd be 1 of the 1st in line to donate to some of the release groups. Give'em something for their hard work, and good quality, cuz the bottom line is, these guys really are giving us GOOD QUALITY movies, and they ARE working HARD to give it to us QUICKLY, like within a couple days after it hits the theaters. What more can our lazy asses ask for?

Video - 7.8
Audio - 9.5
Movie - 5.5 (Sorry people, this movie didn't really float my boat, but then again, I didn't like the 1st one either).

yes, they do have ties to VideoCD, it's 35MM, maVen obviously has something of great value to offer 35MM to get them to share suppilers with them, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a big drop from VideoCD and a rise out of this group. I am X, as for you hypothesis that its possiblly the same group, possible? yeah, but I doubt it, its just the same sources I bet through connections through 35MM.

edit ::i think i already posted on quality, if not , video is 8, audio is 8, not perfect, but most defintely enjoyably watchable, as for the film, I fell into the hype and got very disappointed from it as most sequels end up doing, i hope the third installment is a litttle better.


Posted by gurry on 07-27-2004 08:31 AM:

Not watched the whole movie but from the bits Ive seen this is a great release. Especially as its not out in th eUK for ages yet.

give it

Video - 8
Audio - 8.5
Movie (from what I have seen so far) 8

That may well change once Ive watched it all. I have high hopes for this movie.


Posted by 404notfound on 07-27-2004 09:08 AM:

I really didn't want this subject approached here but try as i might somebody doesn't care and brings it up anyway. I'm drawing a line under this. The subject is OFF LIMITS .

I agree. The service these guys provide to use for free is just
awesome. I'd donate in a heartbeat.

which is why all these scene kiddies who go around slamming
stuff because it's not their circle jerk favorite group need to
just STFU. I'll take a nice release regardless of who provides it.


Posted by pHo on 07-27-2004 01:50 PM:

could you please all shut up about this "OMG! I THINK I'M SO GREAT BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS THE SAME PEOPLE AS V-CD!!111" it has no effect on the release quality. if they wanted to make a statement about who they are, it'd be in the nfo. until it is, shut up about it.

Any chance you could hook me up with that translation sheet? If not...can anyone tell me at what times the subtitles come on? I don't want to waste time downloading a CAM with English subs so I'm going to have a friend who speaks Russian translate this release for me. It would just make it easier knowing the timestamps ahead of time. Thanks.

9/8/9


Posted by LOLobo on 07-27-2004 05:27 PM:

Overall quality is among the most excellent TS's I've seen.
After watching whole release...

Video - 9 (No artifacts or noticable blocking, no shadow, heads popping up, etc. Video is near VHS screener quality and NO blur that is not from the original movie itself)

Audio - 8 (Had some issues hearing certain scenes where dialog seemed important, maybe I need to clean my ears I usually like to read from closed caption while watching movie, kinda sad that I didn't take French in HS. )

Movie - 8 (I was not a big fan of the first movie, however, this one gave Jason Bourne an edge and showed his supremacy, which made the movie fuckin' cool. Overall, worth viewing more than once)


Posted by joeydownload on 07-27-2004 06:07 PM:

Got to say IMPRESSED audio is good ,yes i agree a little dark video ,but come on lets not complain,its a telesync.
as for film going to watch it in bed with a spliff later
I only usually grap xvid dvd screeners or dvd rips but people need to make an exception at times

as for telesync

9/9/?

Perfect audio, video is awesome


Posted by JohnAmst on 07-27-2004 06:55 PM:

I cant believe that this is getting a >8 for video. The edges of the movie have been taken away so far it is just a shame, the top of the heads of everyone is quite often gone. After watching it for 5 minutes I delete it from my hard disk. The quality of the video is not bad, but I can only imagine what else is on the real screen.


Posted by Redemption1980 on 07-27-2004 07:23 PM:

For anyone who wants the subs translated, rather than get someone to tell u the the russian, just use a translator on the french subs, make up the SVCD subs and re-auhor it.

Thats what im planning to do, though i have only found one instance of them subs so far, is that right or is ther more.

GREAT JOB maVen!!!! This is one hell of a release. The pic is very good, maybe a tad dark but not bad at all. The audio is also very nice and Full. The movie itself ROCKS BigTime. Of course I also loved The Bourne Identity. The only thing is I dont think this one had as much action and fighting and stuff as The Bourne Identity did. Anyways, EXCELLENT JOB maVen. Keep It Up and you guys are going to be a Force To Reckon With in the scene.

I don't think you realize how involved what you just said actually is. It sounds nice and easy when you're just typing it but it's another thing to actually do it. You've either got to edit the subs frame by frame or do a whole lot of multiplexing/demultiplexing and cutting/merging mpg files. Which IMO will most likely cause A/V sync issues. But hey...good luck to you.

And there is at least 5 times in the movie where French subtitles are shown. 2 times in CD1 and 3 times in CD2 that I've found so far.

I realized what it involved, i quite like doing shit like that, and ive managed it before.

What is a problem is the amount of subs you say are there, as i dont mind re-watching one scene a l lot, but if im gonna spoil the movie then im prob best leaving it, and try and guess what they're saying.


Posted by crackerjax on 07-27-2004 08:37 PM:

wow, it's been a while since I've posted on a release, but here goes ... (I think I'm following all those rules)

1. audio = it's damn nice, almost a 10, but there are a couple of pops in it, so we'll rate it a solid 9. Very nice DTS decoding.

2. video = (8) the only couple of issues I have with the video, is of course the subtitles, but the main jist of the movie is brought across, so they must not have been very important parts. And at the end when they blurred out where in New York they were at ... not sure why they blurred out that part and none of the other locations .... anyone have insight on this?

3. movie rating = (8.5) It kept me very entertained, but some of the movie is unbelievable. Oh well, it's drama.

nice release maVen, keep 'em coming


Posted by yonatan on 07-27-2004 09:15 PM:

9/9/x

I really hope the movie is a as good as the quality is for this release. It's great to see a new group that's getting it right in their first time (although they probably have been doing this for a while internally or in other groups).

Actually I already did it. I sat down with a mpeg2 editing program and wrote down all the start/end times for the french subs, took the screen caps from the cam as my translation source(tried altavista/bablefish but translations were poor or didn't even translate all the words), created the SSA sub files, used maestro to create the svcd/mpeg2 compliant subs, and then added them to the mpeg2 files WITHOUT reencoding. The subs are "soft"-coded, so your dvd player has to support svcd selectable subs. but they work! pop right up.

honestly though there aren't that many subs and you can figure out whats going on without them, all the subs together add up to about a small paragraph, most are just several words, not a big deal.


Posted by fluffinator on 07-27-2004 10:24 PM:

hmm

This is definatley a solid release, and jsut for the record, unlike alot of the posts here, i'm going by the full release, not the jpeg, or the sample.

I can finally watch this flick

8/8/8

one thing i noticed tho, seems shaky in spots for a ts, but that could just be the movie itself, i couldn't tell from the cam, so i'm probably wrong

Props to maven on a solid release(to bad these movies pale in comparision to the book series, but alas such is life)

stop bitching and start leechin :P

Very good quality picture and tight sound...another good release...

i don't think to highly of the whole Bourne thingy...no excessive violence...just matt damon running around....without Bennifer. Need some new concepts, the whole story line was cheesy..but ill leave the rest to all to comment on.


Posted by Chewie UK on 07-28-2004 01:11 AM:

Great quality rls. Video looks a little dark on my PC so should be perfect on a standalone, sound excellent, movie very entertaining. Gonna get to the local fleapit again for this

Interesting that the english and french subs aren't the same, in terms of their wordings. Here are the english subs from the english showing of the movie with time stamps. I actually like the french ones a bit better, more descriptive. I guess only people that know russian can say which subs are more accurate:

For those that are curious, this guide explains how to do it. skip to step 3. the first 2 steps only apply if you are using a .srt sub file from a xvid/divx avi. if you make your own sub file in SSA then you have a SSA file for step 3.

As for the subs, I didn't really feel like I missed much because the whole story kinda fell into place without understanding them.

I'm know a bit of French myself so I did catch a few words of it

is there a way to re-encode and add english subtitles to this version during the parts when the russians and others are speaking?

if someone could walk me through that process, i'd be much obliged!

thanks ahead of time!

Actually you cant after you hvae burned the Bin and cue files to a cd AS AN IMAGE BURNNING usally with NERO or mounting it with Alcohol120%

If you havent done so then thats your lil prob
2nd To watch in your computer as already burned then you need an svcd component or decodes just try

WinDVD headover to download .com and search for the free 40day trail its really worth it But it came with my computer so i didnt have to buy it but go ahead and try it

Hoped o helped
P.E.A.C.E
