been waiting for this, thanks heaps!

rating?

Rated as a DVD9 R1 Untouched

V:7 - SLIGHTLY grainy, and sometimes theres like this jaggy effect? It looks like a wavy line that horizontally goes down the screen at times
A: 10
M: 10

[...] It's a damn dvd9 - the video can ONLY be a 10 :-p If it hasn't been downsampled by anyone other than the studio, there is no better PQ in existence, thus a 10. So unless you're rating your dvdr's compared to HDDVD, [...]

V : 10
A : 10
M : 8.8

Ok theres something seriously wrong with the Retail dvd this dvd9 has the same blocky pixals in the same parts of the movie!
dont get me wrong though ..the other good scenes of the movie look great though and the dvd9 is an improvement!
Wanna see this crap add .vob to the end of rar08 its one of the worst parts and see all the blockyness and blur ..if all the retails get released like this someones ass is geting canned and this is going down in dvd history books

10 for Curious's release cause they did nothing wrong
10
9.5 one of the best flicks of 2006

I'm shocked , I checked out rar8 the aliasing is mental. To be frank, the PQ looks like total ass!

Hey newbie read my post ..i said the dvd9 was an improvement ,and is much better throughout the movie..of course it is though its not compressed ..compressing extensifys any bad video quality it has from the start

And we are rating on the Ripper/encoders quality that they have done to the release in these forums
NOT the dvd that you will buy quality so this is not a 7 i have burnt it and it is untouched everything and plays perfect so its a 10 unless you can say that they screwed up somethig when they released it! or didnt take out extras to make quality better

Redemption is absolutely right. Giving an automatic 10 to untouched video is B.S. despite what you or anyone else says.

After watching the entire film on my 50" HDTV I still cant believe this is a retail DVD9. Bitrate via MPC was reported as 7.5mbit/sec , via powerdvd I saw it go between 5.8 - 6.5mbit/sec. The PQ is very poor indeed for such a high bitrate, its somewhat fuzzy/blurry, lots of video noise, aliasing and flicker is evident through out the film and is terrible in some scenes. Also compression artifacts popup now and then. If this is truly the retail version that is on sale now , I cant wait to see some of the reviews on the PQ. Goes down as one of the worst DVD transfers in recent history

V-6 look more like a TC than a DVD9 retail

No more talks about how the studios are trying steal your money and such in THIS thread. I'm combing though it now deleting and editing. Want a conspiracy thread? Start one in the appropriate forum. This thread is sticking to the topic of the quality of this specific release.

just curious but are you guys baseing the grainyness at the beginning cause ive watched this and theres absolutly nothing wrong with it video great 9 audio awsome 9 movie meh not to bad 7 ive watched it all there are no lines and the grainyness happens for the first 1 min and 11 seconds of the movie dateing back in the 60's witch was probbaly done on a old real camera
