sure it will! 
/me is no. 2 :P
the nfo looks weird.
i wonder if there'll be any way to get this baby!?
i want the dd5.1
//spooky
svcd re-encode?..
who hoo no.3
great release guys
hmmm
The rumour says there's a repack on its way
...it's nice that this finally came, but I think it's a shame that they have made it a one disc because they will have to compress the movie a lot to fit 3 hours + to a DVD-R 
Are they being sarcastic talking about the 'menu' and extras?
If this is 'kosher'...good bless America!
an independent dvdr rls eh..
quote from nfo:
"Menu, and everything else is there!"
since when is there a menu on a dvd screener.. (if there is then hey cool more props but.. i dunno haha)
ill leech it saves me time convertin' this svcd to dvd
-Tito
is there 4 files missing on every1's sites??????
blurry
the sample looks a little bit blurry right? 
My only question:
Does the video look at least as good as the SVCD? If so then what's the problem? I would have no complaints for SVCD picture quality with the 5.1 sound! :P
sample is definetely nothing great....i wonder if the audio is actually 5.1....the fact remains, that the svcd was 3 gigs, and this dvd cannot be much better than the svcd....it really should be 2 discs and i'm confident another group will release a proper, 2 disc of this movie- it's what it deserves....
the sample is definetely a bit blurry- it IS the best release thus far for DVDr, but i think i'll wait this one out

Nuke, not regionfree...
And the video q is not much better than SVCD. 4.7 Gb - 5.1 audio = 4 Gb video. SVCD = 3.2 Gb - audio = not much difference...
come on now, all previous lotr releases have been 2 dvds. also, the svcd is 4 cds....it clearly needs a 2 dvd release- i don't think there's any question in the matter...you can see the grainy quality of this release, it's not gonna get any better without a second disc- and i wouldn't have anything less
You moaning, grumpy n00bs. All this time everyones been bitching on about the lack of a dvdr release and as soon as one comes along its nothing but moan, moan, moan. If you arent doing the release yourself then stfu.

Split it? WHy?
Anybody have idea what they mean by 'extras' on this yet?
Split into 2 DVD's?
That kinda defeats the purpose of releasing this on DVD-R, if it looks as good or even a teeny tiny bit better than the SVCD it's golden to me...
The Question is what is it Sourced from ?
If its a REAL SCREENER what media was it sourced from, flipping VHS tape!! lol
People loose track of the meanings of
SCREENER
CAM
TS
Etc Etc...
the same Flick Converted From CAM to TS to SVCD to DVD then back to VCD on and on and on an on.
Oh and not forgetting the Smart alik who makes a 1 cd DVIX.
Flipping eck, its getting like news groupes all over the place.
ive seen CAM's on dvd ??? WTF
that Insults the verry name DVD,
With 5.1 Dts !!!
5.1 my ass,
Its not to hard to Aurthor a dvd master and spred the Mono
sound to all 6 channels then WAY HAY the 5.1 little blue
light comes on, on my Amp.
is it 5.1? like Feck it is.
Rant over for now,
Ive not Finished the Download on this yet so i will reserve my comments
on this releace for now. But From the Reports im getting
This Sounds NOT like a REAL Screener,
Screener ?
Think....
007 Die another Day
Harry Potter 2
you follow ?
2 cds is not necessary or rather dvds is not necessary. if u remember the first LOTR was dvd screener was released on 1cd and that was fine, excellent quality. since it is a dvd screener, and they do screen from dvds as well. there shouldn't be any menus, extras, etc. the first movie is just as long and didn't need 2cds for that screener. so i don't think 2 is necessary for this one. even the retail of LOTR was 1 cd with animated menus and audio. it just needs to be re-encoded.

hi ! i am a flamer and I have no life, i have no friends so I like to sit here in front of my comp and get mad .
based on lotr2.dvdr.sample.vob
9/8/? (yeah i still haven't seen it)
Video bitrate ranges from 2200-4200Mbps avg about 3300Mbps still much better than any rls so far.
DD5.1 @448Kbps may not be true DD. It seems as though the same sound is comming out all the speakers and i'm not hearing anything out of the center channle (maybe its just me)
never the less the Convenience of 1 dvd!
I'm gonna go for this rls then wait a while till the retail.
I think a 2 DVD release for this would be extremely good. 3 hours is quite a lot to compress down, having the CCE bitrate at less than 3 and with all the action in this movie, the compression would be very noticible. AC3 is great and what the SVCD version is missing.. Someone has the DVD-9 original rip somewhere, it would be mint if it was released, then we have the choice to downsample or split.
this release just screams reencode, first of normalized sound, i've yet to see a dvdr rls play ac3 sound at a normal volume...where's a real group's release when you want one? ;p

THANK YOU! Some of these guys are idiots! Since we have you seen 2 DVD-R packs of movies? He's a dumbass. He is thinking SVCD, not DVD-R! We don't need two f*cking DVD-Rs, as that defeats the purpose!
Thank you for pointing this out.
What you people have to remember is:
1) The DVD-R version of this is Anamorphic (Widescreen TV enhanced), so unlike the SVCD we get a better picture cause no zoom is needed.
2) Its Dolby Digtal 5.1 sound (the svcd aint obviously)
really you are getting a better picture in some ways. However the downcoding is highly compressed and with the extra resolution dvd has over SVCD you'll needed the extra space for that resolution. the detail lever in terms of MPEG in coding is identical to the SVCD but because you have more lines of resolution you get a bettter picture overall.
Anyway you people really should stop moaning, these DVD screeners prob wont be around after march april, so you might wanna appeciate them while you can!
Being that this is not a retail dvd, maybe the source was only 1 disc, therefore no way to make it 2 discs for the better quality. Plus, arent all of these dvd screeners single layer, so then no need to encode either. Just my two cents.
Wow...I thought the pages of people talking about whether the sound of the SVCD release had a 'hiss' was pointless...
There is NO POINT TO A 2 DVD RELEASE OF THIS....PERIOD...
Why?
It's a SCREENER....not RETAIL, there are no trailers, specials, deleted scenes, etc.
The only point to this release is for improved sound and ONE disc, rather than the 4 cds...
On a side note, anyone 'view' this yet? The nfo. had a line about a menu & extras...what did that mean? Subtitles would be the only thing I could think of...that WAS a mistake in the nfo. wasn't it?

I agree, there is no need for a 2 dvd version of this, hell downsample it and dont complain, there are no features, no one complains when harry potter dvd-r is downsampled, or all these other dvd-r dvd screeners, but god for bid, it's lord of the rings, now we need to change the scene rules for one god damn movie, I dont think so...as for the comment about iot being animorphic, I dont think so, I have a widescreen tv and will burn this and see if it its, most likely it isnt animorphic. Now if this is a svcd re-encode, there is need for a re-rip, but if this comes from the dvd-9 dvdscr and is simply downsampled, it's fine, quit complaining, watch the movie.
there most certainly is a need for a 2 DVD-r release for those that want the same Quality as the original 3 hour DVD [ which is on a DVD9 ] . There is no way to preserve the Quality with only a single DVD-r version [ it is not possible ] . For those that decide to flame this [ you do not understand encoding , read some and then you might understand ] . Now while I am sure the majority will want a single dvd-r release [ as was done ] this will not give you the full video quality of the actual dvd screener . Those of you watching on a sdtv will say there is no difference , well you are wrong as there most certainly is but you need to have the ability to display it [ Anamorphic progressive scan is where it's at for DVD - until HD-DVD ] .

ok i'll agree with you there, no loss of quality for widescreen hdtv people, like me, but since when is this release call for the need to do this on 2 dvd-rs, harry potter was a huge movie, no complaints there. Anyway I viewed the sample, its looks good, I'd admit it's downsampled a ton, so why doesnt someone do a 2 dvd-r internal and then just leave the single dvd one out. The fact of the matter is one dvd or 2 dvd, you people are lucky there even is dvd screeners in the first place, if you havent watched it in the theater be glad you can even watch this at home, when the majority of people will wait months and months for a retail dvd. Now I do have fast internet, but for ppl who aren't really fast, is another 4.5 gig really worth it for the few ppl who have hdtv widescreen tv's.
is it contains scene selections, menus etc. ?
How many of you Got PM's asking
"Where Can i Download This film" & "where do you download your stuff from please?"
geeez umm let me see, oh yer kazaa.c*m good luck
If the original screener was a DVD9, then there is deffinately a demand for 2 DVDR release without re-encoding.
A growing number of people these days have home theater setups and widescreen tvs.. If the original screener is anamorphic, I hope any release keeps it as such..
The people complaining about a 2 DVDR release obviously do not know any better or how good it COULD look if it is released untouched...
Cheers
Fletch
:: i agree . ~2800kbit for an anamorphic rls in a hires format is just too low. 2xDVD would mean changing the disc 90mins in, which is not a problem. and if you dont like the filesize, well.. dvdr isn't for you then -pHo
hmm ...
This is going to sound like a newbie question - but what IRC channels carry DVDR releases. I can always find the SVCD releases on MYD***LOADER or P***ETNEWS - but they never seem to list the DVDR releases.

If you looked in a.b.dvd you would see many 2 disc rips including one of Raiders of the Lost ark - because they didn't want to sacrifice the quality of the LD conversion.. Aliens is also being posted as DVD-9 using the doom9.org Splitting across 2 DVDs. There is a program called dvdxcopy.com which retains the original quality across 2 DVDs. Most commercial DVD's are DVD-9 9 Gigs. On a 3 hour movie the bitrate would have to be so low to fit that much on a 4 gig disc. So Across 2 dvd's would give you commerical quality - ie. the same QUALITY as the original DVD-9 that it was ripped from.
It would be pointless to try to upconvert the SVCD release to DVD, BUT what we are talking about is having the original DVD-9 released across 2 DVD's. ZERO quality loss. at $2/DVD to be able to enjoy Two Towers as it is in the theatres I think is worth it, and I'm sure any of the DVDR Advocates would agree. Flame me if you want, but the reason this DVD isn't as crisp is because whoever did the encode had to sacrifice the video quality to put it on a single DVD. It still remains to be seen if this is simply the SVCD's upconverted or the original DVD-9 downconverted.

a dvdr at that bitrate has about 60% of the REAL capabilities. if the dvdr "scene" (hate that word actually) was to be based on movies at 2800-3000 bitrate, fuck it, better buy the retail. or be a jackass and ejoy TS's.

[edited]
I'd have to concur, these are bootlegs. Some people won't be happy until the retail comes out. The quality of this release is more than sufficient. What more do you want? Be grateful that its here at all.
Will someone that has actually burnt and watched this movie please leave a comment as I doubt this moaning bunch have. Also has anyone used the patch ok?

Ok ive Burnt it and its fine
Something About my vertion of Winrar, gave me an error in each and every fecking rar.
Not CRC errors some other type of error, not a big worry as
ive had this before with ps2 (prolly just my Crap pc)
Anyway on with the post..
The Sfv check sayed all rars are 100% fine
So i Unrar but in my case i tick "keep Borken Files"
now i have the .iso So i patch it with the Region fix (thanks dude who made it for us)
Then Burn the .ISO to a good old Traxdata, Slap it in my Stand-Alone dvd player and it boots
NOT into a Menu as was said in the nfo, But into a Warning Msg
the Kind of Msg you would expext on a Propper Screener About how we are not allowed to copy or rent etc etc.
There are about 5 or 6 chapters and No chapter menu,
( Like i said theres No menus what so ever.)
Sound is Propper 5.1 (center speaker is fine and works here)
no other sound tracks that i could find and no subs
Picture, Well im no expert but the Picture looks Just as good
as the Harry potter 2 and 007 screeners.
What can i say,, Big Thanks to the guys who brought it to us all for Free THanks

From viewing the sample, it looks pretty good to me.....good enough until a retail is available.
I'm just curious, has anyone watched the whole thing? Does it have menus like the nfo says?
You people need to get a fucking clue. You have a near DVD QUALITY copy of one of the most anticipated and watched movies ever and its only been in theatres for THREE WEEKS!!! Yet you still bitch about the quality. It's free!!! Why not write a letter to New Line Cinema explaining to them that you need a copy of the original DVD9 screener because you just can't watch the downsampled one, it's not good enough for you....

No one is going from SVCD to DVD-R if the DVD SCR is available to the rls groups. Most people with "common sense" are not saying what is available by some punk ass newsgroups.
Look at the listing here!!!! Or isonews.com, do you see many 2 disc DVD-Rs? NO! Hello NO! ...and lot of them look fantastic, with many not even needing to be downsampled (at all) once stripped of the bullshit extras.

No, there are no menus and only 5 chapters. Quality is not blurry and audio says 5.1 Dolby Digital. Looks good to me. 2 DVDs would be a total waste for a DVD Screener. I doubt that the actual Screener itself was 2 DVDs, so quit bitching all you maggots who haven't even d/l'd the image file yet. Download the SVCD if your so worried about wasting bandwidth or it being a recode from SVCD, or wait for the Retail DVD to come out.

If you had read the post properly it you would know that WE are NOT talking about upconverting SVCD, the whole point is the keep the original quality of the DVD-9 that all of these were made from.. AT the point of posting no-one could confirm that this was anamorphic, and confirm that the aC3 was real (some didn't have center or sub).. So The statement of it still remains to be seen if it was upconverted OR downconverted was there. Don't flame people for nothing, I gave very good references and locations of DVD-9 releases on the net. As well as a website with software to split your DVD-9s to 2 DVD-5's. So just because ISOnews and group releases don't list it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.. Go yourself and you can see both raiders of the lost ark and aliens are being posted DVD-9 right now. And for most cases, DVD-9 rips are only around 5-6GB for the movie. This is a DVDR group I would have figured the people participating know a little about DVDR..
Cheers to the release, it's a great release.. if nothing better come so be it. But I know there are many others here who would be very happy to see a DVD-9 release of this.. Those would wouldn't be happy, don't download, and keeps kind of useless to compain about something higher quality being released doesn't it?

anyway time for my review.
Sound.
when i first listened to the sample the sound really blew me away. the sound is perfect and 5.1 Dolby Digital is greatly appreciated.
Video
video is Very good, better tahn the svcd. the quality will suite me until the DVD Retail is out.
about 2 DVDR's if the retail comes out at 2 dvdr's so be it. but if you really like the movie you should really think about buying this on retail. its one of many films that deserve your money. and the advantage of it all being on 1 disk rather than 2 will be great and i would gladly pay for that.
wow... can't believe it is here already...but I have so much trouble finding dvd-r's..anyways I did find a sample and it looks great, and for those of you who are bitching about 2 DVD's need to go and play this on your tv... there would be not much of a quality difference unless u pay thousands for a HDTV..I'm out
-GoaT-
Just a point (Don't know if it's been mentioned yet) but the special edition of Fellowship came on DVD's and you've got to remember that commercial discs are bigger than dvd-r's! But to be fair that release also had on about 6 different commentaries. But I (For a change) agree with the people bitching. THe point of dvd-r releases is not so you don't have to get off your lazy arse and swap the disc, it's for improved quality. And if 2 discs is the way to go then fair enough.
Also, I'm very ill.

i doubt that there will be a 2 disk DVDR proper and/or internal.
there is absolutely nothing wrong with the quality of this rls. and i dont think any group is gunna waste there time whiney little assholes. they will save 2 disk rlses for the Retail version come on this is jsut a sreener. its got watermarks and using 1 dvdr is ok by me for a scr but 2 would be suicide considering i use DVD+R medi and you have to pay through the balls for it.
Pretty good release
This is a genuine DVD-screener, and yes -the quality is about 70% that of the original screener DVD. But what do you expect? This is a 3-hour movie crammed onto space meant for no more than 2. Even with lower bitrate, you can notice hardly any artifacts. Only with real small objects.
Still the superior resolution over SVCD makes this release better than any SVCD of this release we've seen before. You can tell me what you want! 2.8 GB worth of SVCD is nothing compared to 4.3 GB of DVD. The bitrate is still higher. So before you start flaming me for being right, engage your brain before you engage your mouth, ok?
after
after watching quite a bit of the dvd-r, I think iND did an excellent job.... of course it is not perfect, but it looks hella nice and sounds great!
Congrats and MUCH THANKS to iND for the DVD SCR DVD-R, and the QUICK release of it
Paul
I know this release is a dvdr, is it any better than the svcd? is the sound corrected and is it true stereo not that shit that sounds so low u gotta amp your stereos to max to hear? Im wondering, if this is a better download and worth a re-encode to svcd myself. I love the pic on svcd sound was to low though.

Has it been determined whether or not this is just the SVCD re-encoded? And how about the audio? is it better in this release?
think it´s great
This release is a hell lot of better than the 4cd SVCD release.. compared some scenes with water.. and it´s alot more clear in this version.. you can really see the difference there.. i was happy about the SVCD release but hell.. this is MUCH better and no cd-changes..
will buy the retail when it comes out.. but until then this is just as good.. or better even. because this is NOW!!!
Jesus how hard can it be to read the other post in this tread? Stop asking ifs its the same as svcd and if the sound is better...its already been confirmed a few post back, if ya borthered to look.
Oh and by the way to put my vote in the discussion ...no it dos'nt need a 2 dvd version. Be happy that its here at all.
Well from all the info above I would have to say yes, this is a true DVDrip with the bitrate downsampled. The quality is superb for what it is. Only a picky spoiled pir8 would cry about this release.
The audio is TRUE 5.1 DD. This is not a svcd re-encode.

Better than SVCD. )
No, this is not the SVCD re-encoded. This was a direct copy of the screener DVD, with a lower bitrate to accomodate the consumer (4.7GB DVDR) instead of the pressed (9GB DVD9) the original was on.
Yes, the picture is better than the SVCD, and the sound is AC3 5.1 surround.
And why would you download the DVDR just to re-encode it to SVCD? That makes about 0 sense as you would just end up with...the SVCD release. Just get that and don't add the extra step.

Ok, I have a question, and it may sound stupid but can someone explain. If all other groups have no problems ripping their releases, IE Gangs of NY V4f sounds great and so do tcf's svcds, then why the hell does the svcd of this sound so low. My question on re-encode was maybe grabbing this and rencoded to svcd and keeping the good audio as obviously TDI rushed it out for props and not quality.
This is the saddest fucking thread I've ever seen Why do people try to post authoritatively on something they seem to know nothing about?
Let's just clear up some basics:
1. Production and screener DVDs are pressed using the DVD-9 format -- a dual layer format that can hold 8.54 billion BYTES (7.95 GB). That was the original format of this screener.
2. Group releases for DVD-R come in the form of DVD-5 -- a single layer format that can hold 4.7 billion bytes (4.35 GB)
3. The DVD specification was designed so that approximately 2 hours of high quality 720x480 29.97 fps video and audio could be fit on a DVD-5. This means the video would be encoded at approximately 5 Mbps. Studios usually make use of the extra space on the DVD-9 and encode their movies at significantly higher bitrates (generally between (6-7 Mbps). This higher bitrate produces noticably superior quality in home theater systems (HDTV's, etc)
4. At a little over 5 Mbps, a DVD-9 can just comfortably hold about 180 minutes of video with a 5.1 AC3 audio track and a 2ch AC3 track. This is why there was NOTHING else execpt a menu included on disc 1 of the original FOTR retail. You will also notice that there is a distinct improvement between the original FOTR and the extended edition which was encoded at a higher bitrate and split onto two DVD-9's.
5. Putting a 180 min movie (with 5.1 ac3, no less) on a DVD-5 requires encoding at approx 2.5 - 3 Mbps -- this is HALF what is recommended for good video and a THIRD of what most studios usually use for their releases. This bitrate is at the absolute bottom end of the MPEG-2 quality spectrum for 720x480 video -- in fact, you have to use special quantization matrices and a very good encoder to get a halfway decent result.
6. DVD video uses a 3:2 aspect ratio -- this is between 4:3 (traditional) and 16:9 (widescreen). When you play widescreen video on a display device that uses 4:3, the hardware has to stretch the video along the x axis using an interpolation algorithm to approximate the 16:9 aspect ratio. This means you are artifically increasing the resolution and it will actually tend to magnify any artifacts in the video.
7. SVCD video is encoded at 480x480 -- this is called half-D1 and is an approximation of standard NTSC resolution. This means that a well encoded SVCD will not look much worse than a DVD when viewed with a smaller, traditional TV.
------------------------------
Hopefully that clears up some of the confusion about whether a CD can hold more than a DVD
Anyway, nice release! Although I definately agree that since this is such a popular movie, it might be nice to release an original quality internal so people who knew what they were doing could either split it or downsample it according to their own tastes.
:: agreed on all counts, except that half-D1 is 352x240/288 i thought, rather than SVCD spec of 480x480/576.. i might be wrong as i dont deal in DVDR, but thats what im lead to believe.. -pHo
help with svcd-dvd
I downloaded the svcd 4 cd dvd screener and i wanted to put it on a DVD+R. I copied the mpeg from disc one and burned it using Ulead. I played it and the video quality is amazing but the sound is completely out of sync. This only occurs on the DVD not at all on the SVCD.
I am sure I am completely doing it wrong because I have never done it before, but I would really appreciate any help that anyone may be generous enough to give.
please feel free to send me a response via PM.
many thanks
sorry if this isnt the appropriate forum.
Thats the problem with the alot of the groups in the scene. NO PRIDE IN THE WORK! Props to who & what? other humans? LOL!

I had same issue as you when I converted Vanilla Sky SVCD mpegs to DVD Video using Ulead as encoder, which sux, and was completely out of sync. Use TMPGE, and just give Ulead the finished DVD-Video compliant mpegs.

Exactly, but as usual no pride only EGO! 
When I burn the image file, it will play on my DVD players, but the chapters are glitchy. When I skip chapters, the player will sometrimes freeze, or skip scenes, or whichever. If I just let it play all the way through, it works fine, but I want some damn chapters. Would extracting the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders and dragging them into a complilation in Nero fix this problem? Or is it the rip itself? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for the help.
Yes , Extract the IMG file with Isobuster 1.2 then burn the VIDEO_TS folder using either Nero or Record Now Max [ and if you want better reliability that the dvd will read in most standalone dvd players then use UDF ] .

Great Job on the downconversion to 1 DVD iND - Thank You ! I would have never thought such a low bitrate could look this nice .

As for the 2 disc set, hey if you wanna download 9gigs go ahead. LOL! It's no big deal Paul, they are just spoiled as you said. You know the scene is shit when all the user's start demanding things. LMAO!
I say reduce it all the VHS quality & let them have that for a while. Kinda reminds of the kids today, running the parents. They will just cry, whine & moan till they get their way. As usual, they got their way.
As long as ALL the pir8's are happy, I guess that's all that matters.

It's doing this on and off my hard drive. I guess alot of people are getting it too, but havent found a solution. I even patched it like I was supposed to. Also, there is an authentication error with winrar that me/others keep getting.

Figured it out. It kept messing up after the first authentication and would say it was done, but it really wasn't. So I tried it a few more times, took a little longer finally and the img unrared completely. Thanks for your time though.

hmm after about a zillion posts on this rls - i think there are about a handful that have actually downloaded and burnt it -
iam not gonna grumble that it took me about 22 hours to d/l it - as i think it is very good quality (yak yak all u know-it-all-better-than -anyone-else),
only 1 guy(i think)arther has mentioned the authenticity fuck upski in the winrar files - whick majorly pissed me off lol as at first i thought my whole d/l was shagged, but i mamanged to get the .img out anyway- slightly pissed off about there not being menu's ,vcdquality version of the ind rls says there are menu's - but the nfo from where i got the download is slightly differant- the region code lock was a little silly i guess good on the patch tho - all i can say is it saves me messing with the svcd cds all that multiplex and audio crap-lol ,
as for the 2 x dvdr rls - i dont think i will bother really this 1 is good enough for now
thanks again guys nice job!!!
-=apache=-
hi downloaded this release and watched it but when I was watching it it would freeze at least 2 or 3 times throughout the whole movie, the only way I would be able to proceed would be to hit fast forward for 1 second on my remote and then play and it would show that scene that it froze at again and then continue on. this happened 3 times. I unrared the img with winrar and got the authenticy errors and then I extracted the image with isobuster and burnt the VIDEO_TS folder in nero using dvd rom udf on sony dvd+RW. would this problem be fixed if I just burn the image directly to dvd instead of extracting it with isobuster, or is it the media im using.
thanks
the quality is great and the sound is amazing
ungrateful pricks!
fuck the whiners who are NOW crying about a damn menu....
remember something you SPOILED FUCKS: IT IS A BOOTLEG!!! No one owes you shit to put on a menu , regardless of the .nfo file .... damn, the scene has become saturated with spoiled kids....
your asses need to go back to the days of .asf files with people's heads in the picture and mono sound.......ungrateful bitches.....
as for the last poster, the freezing is a problem with your media, most likely..... try some certified 2x media , good shit, like TDK, Apple, or Verbatim, and hopefully you will be fine......
Sounds like bad media. Media is a nightmare. The cheaper media's quality is inconsistant. Verbatim's are good. Apple's as well. TDK.
Grab some artwork & make a menu if you need. =)

Has anyone else experienced this? At exactly 2:48:31 in the movie it ends prematurely (If I remember correctly about 3-5 mins from the ending) and then there's about 2-3 seconds of black screen and then it starts over from the beginning at 2:48:34 with the blurb at the beginning "This Presentation You Are About To See...snip" and then at exactly 2:59:12 the movie ends with Sam and Frodo arguing over what to do with Gollum in the hills of Emyn Muil...
I had a friend burn this for me... so is he just a lame-brain or is this happening to everyone?
Also, no skips or hangs/freezes in this release for me.

Firstly, I read through the posts. No-one dissed this released because it's a single disc, nor did anyone "Demand" a 2 disc version.. These are all terms you complainers added to dramatize your point. Anyone who discussed the benefits of a 2 disc version did so in a polite and well formed manner, not swearing their heads off like you guys ready to jump on anything you don't see fit. As a result there is a 2 disc version released, and those who appreciate it will do so and download it.. Those who do not appreciate the choice given to us, shouldn't complain about it. Just don't download it.

I have exactly the same shit, finishes 2hr48min and roughly 30ish seconds, apart from that it went lovely, i only have whitelabel media which I have found to be the best for movies and this is my first bad one out of around 40. I burned it twice and its exactly the same. Any ideas???? btw i did patch it with supplied patch

Leaving the DVD image on my comp.
Sorry if this has already been posted (I only read throught the first 6 pages of this thread up to when the people crying for a 2-disc DVD-R got their wish.)
I don't currently own a DVD burner, so I intend to unpack the .img file contained in the Winrar archive, delete the archive, unpack the image, delete the .img file, and run the .vob files on my computer with PowerDVD (or whatever DVD player prog. I decide to go with). I imagine there should be no problems at all with this, but I am curious as to whether or not I should apply the fix to the .img file before I unpack it if I'm not going to bother ripping it onto a disc anyway...
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Don't know if this is in the right forum but I am having a problem with the playback on this release.
I used ISOBuster to extract the Video_TS and Audio_TS and used the newest version of Nero, ver 5.5.10.0. I create a blank DVD-ROM UDF template and drag the two folders over. On the UDF tab I force XBox compatibility and away the burn goes.
It burns fine and plays in my XBox and on my PC. But about 2:15 into the movie the video starts chopping and basically becomes completley unwatchable. This happens on both my XBox and PC using PowerDVD. My friend's copy is doing the same on his Playstation 2.
I am using Imation DVD-R and burning at 1X using Panasonic DVD-RAM/R.
Are there any other programs that can assure playback in a XBox?
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

While I'm by no means new to forums, I am new to this one.
I've been lurking for a few days, reading and learning, in hopes of snagging the REiGN Two Towers release. I'm a self-confessed videophile, I own all the requisite hardware and deeply enjoy the DVD format. I would desperately like to get my hands on this release. I've already seen the movie 3 times, but would still enjoy seeing it on my HT.
What I can't figure out is why so many assume that the desire for the highest quality release is a bad thing. This is digital information folks, not fine wine. Copying a DVD screener takes all of about 5 minutes of real work, minus the waiting for the IFOEdit and the burner to finish their magic. A downsampled copy is nothing more than a diluted copy. Like ditch weed, nice in a pinch, but defintely not preferred. Why not post the screeners at their full potency?

If piracy for profit wasn't such an issue it wouldn't matter. But most of the time people take the higher end ones & make money off them, which is bullshit. Yeah, I'm talking about China & the other 3rd world shitty countries. Actually, you deserver nothing. You get what you can get. Because this is based on group status & EGO, you'll pretty much always get what you want.
Do a search on ebay for Two Towers DVD. That is the kinda shit that gives all of this a bad name.
Any movie for that matter.
If you want Quality, don't waste your time with the REiGN one, get the DsR 2 release.

I know the original rip was fine...and I am playing it directly from a mounted .img file.
Just didn't know if there was a bad copy floating around though...
If you got the release unpacked (not the .img-file) is there a way to patch the movie for the bad frame? It's for the Reign-release...

When I try to unpak the file with WinRAR 3.0 it gets to 94% complete (part 87) and I get the message "write error in the file lotr2-dvdr-scrnr.img. Probably the disk is full". This happens every time and the disc is definitly not full. I can't click past it, it will only let me cancel the unpaking.
Any ideas? Thanks
pebsdad2, yes.
Your HD is most likely formatted in FAT32. This Filesystem has a limit of 4gb for a single file. That's why it aborts once the file reaches this size while you unrar it. Re-format the HD to NTFS or use the convert command to make it ntfs (I hope you're using NT-based windows, hehe)
cheers
