Centropy comes through!!!!

I've been waiting and waiting for even a decent release of this flick for over a week now! Centropy, thank you for hearing our cries!

Nice to see they kept their promise

Again a great quality TS Svcd , but we're used to that from Centropy :P

any1 had a look at the sample yet?

Woo-hoo! Who's your Daddy? ***CENTROPY***

smack my bitch up!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh yeh.... can't wait to grab this one... geezum... i think i'll stay up till this hits my sites....

CTP is cool, but not the salvation.

"Let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet, gentlemen." -- Pulp Fiction.

I appreciate the work CTP does, but didn't they say they weren't going to release this because of too much heat? Are they trying to be protective or egotistical by naming the release that?

yay!!! Its finally here!

bastards! i meant to go see this in the theater the other day, but i couldn't go.. do they honestly think i have enough will power not to download this?? maybe i could go whilst its downloading, or should i just give in and enjoy.. bastards!!!!



nice one guys, dig the folder title, and the nfo graphics rock.

Downloading the movie now @ 132kb/sec . The mpg2 sample looks great!


All bow to the great Centropy god! LOL.

Now lets all build a gold statue with the letters Centropy .

THANKS A BILLION CENTROPY! the NFO in java looks awesome!

Can't wait to see if there is a special intro too .

I knew they couldn't resist

I knew they couldn't resist

Thanks CTP !
Damn, I woulda held off going to see this in the theater if I had known about this imminent.

btw - You know the bit where Amidala is lying in the sand and the clone trooper comes up and says, "Are you okay", and Amidala goes from looking dead to popping her head up and saying, "......YES!" Well, is that supposed to be a joke? Or is it the most wooden bit of acting I have ever seen? The entire theater here in London UK was rolling in the aisles at that and several other dodgy lines/hammy acting. Visually the movie looked great, but it was screaming out for a decent script and several casting changes (including Hayden 'What dark side?' Christensen - ugh! what a poor choice)

Fave scene? Anakin masturbation scene - "I saw my mother". Hehe, nice one George

great release, but unfortunately the aspect is f-cked up again + the sound is not compete sync.
Why doesn't centropy fix this? you would think they know how to encode when they are able to make such nice telesyncs.

I think it's CTP's best work yet. No flicker, perfect sound (and in sync), no boom mikes. VERY BRIGHT. We can see every smudge, line and shadow on Yoda's face. These guys are artistes with a wicked sense of humor.

I'm so happy they changed their minds and decided to release it, the screenshots look amazing.

PS : My first post, hi to you all, this forum is really nice, and its a lot more stable than most of the others I post in

Glad I Waited

Makes me glad that I waited, whould have been a waste to watch one of these other shitty ass releases just cause they where first .

Shame about it being a SVCD, guess I will have to convert it thats all.

The AR is off by miles :/ In PowerDVD you can make it better by going full screen, setting Pan&Scan to 1.85:1 then ticking keep aspect ratio - it's a bit better then but why ctp make the AR wrong? Or is it a PAL/NTSC thing?

I'm new here, so go easy on the flaming people.

The VCD is ok quality, apart from the sound going at the start of the both discs. Not to the best VCD release I have seen, but its not bad. Just wish they couldve kept the credits in there, I wanted to hear Vader's breathing at the end of the credits.

i may actually get this one, if its worth it.

Anybody else experienced the out of sync Div mentioned?
allot of people have commented on centropy releases being out of sync in the past, and the ones that i had got anyway did not play out of sync for me.

---

I cannot wait to see this one..having seen it in the cinema i really want it on disc...just hope the sync is ok

kickazzzz

kickazz screenshots
just waiting on the download to see for myself

Alright guys, does anyone know if the quality is better than the Spideman SVCD Centropy realeased?????

Thanks Crossy

For all those people having trouble playing this and other releases on a Standalone DVD player.

The only machine to get is the Sampo 631cf - ok I hear you all say "whats so special about that then" - well apart from playing EVERY format without any trouble - its the only DVD player in the world that you fit a hard drive to - how many of you have 100gig mp3 juke boxes in your machines???

Get over to www.area450.com for all the info...

This was not intended to be a "know it all post" - I am just giving you guys having problems some advice , as the Sampo is not know to many people...

I love U Cebtropy

i love star wars but not as much as i love this release centropy u rule now i can watch it in my home well if i could find a place 2 D/L it oh well i sure it will find its way to my house some how

centropy's vcd's and svcd's never used to work on my dvd player the audio used to pop and then go outa sync so i started just running the audio through tmpgenc and that was fine but now if i burn the cue/bin file with nero the vcd/svcd works fine dunno why oh i used to burn them with fireburner so it must have been some setting in there but now all is good just waiting to get hold of this release thanks guys

is it deceptive?

Just wondering if anybody had any details on the quality of this release. I'm sure everyone learned a lesson by trusting the pics of the SeVCD release of starwars. The pics looked amazing but when you actually watched it, the quality sucked just as bad as the FTF release and others. Obviously you cannot judge the quality of the film by the pics posted up. sw2.SeVCD was a prime example of this fact. If anybody has true knowledge of the quality of this release please post a msg and let the world know.

All I can say is wow. ANOther great TS.SVCD, keep em rolling !!

Great JOB!!!

u the best Centropy!!! keep up the great work! [COLOR=red][B]

is it deceptive????

Just wanted to see if anybody had actually seen this release on their TV. I'm sure everyone has learned from sw2.SeVCD that you can't judge the quality of the release by the pictures posted. SeVCD looked beautiful in the pictures posted but in reality the quality sucked just as bad as the FTF release and others. If someone has actually watched this release please post a comment in regards to what the quality looks like in comparison to another movie. Thanks.

good rls.. shitty movie tho

Oh Lordie Lord.. CTP does it again....

Now I just gotta find the bloody thing

actually i know why the ar is fucked up
its in pal format , 480 x576 vs ntsc 480x480.

I sometimes have probs with the Centropy releases on my Wharfedale 750S while they play fine on the PC and on another DVD player. But, I usually re-encode them with TMPEGENC and they work fine for me. Try doing that if you have probs, it seems to work.

Otherwise, all of Centropys releases are GREAT quality... keep up the good work guys!

Nice one!

too many leechers on the top sites people! everyone that has ep 2 uses that fact to tease instead of distro..watch who you add to the sites lamers..fuckin quit adding little fore eyed leechers

I just wanna know if the damn svcd of star wars is any good? I have an mpg fromat of it and it sux compares to alot of other first releases its good enough to watch but waiting for a better clearer versiion now does the svcd version have shitty sound and unclear picture or is it good? i see alot of ppl saying its awesome and others saying it sux wich is it?

is it good or not someone please tell me?

Personally i am not a starwars fan at all. I dont see why everyone is jiz'ing over this rls quality. yes its better then all the others but is it really good enough to kiss ass this much?
for god sakes it fucking high tech stuffed animals.

Damn..Damn...Damn...wow..wow..wow..>WHAT?? WHAT?? WHAT??

Little off topic, but im wondering, would it be flamed if groups like CTP would do dual rls, one pal and one NTSC. These guys do kickass work, but in a universal scene, itd be easier to accomdate everyone then have to spend the time to fix the crap yaself. Even then, if your dvd does play it, i am not so lucky, people r on here complaining bout audio. Just a thought... dont hthink anyone frm the groups prob read this buy hey you never know.

Sure wish they'd release their flix in NTSC, but seeing that this is a global community that doesn't necessarily cater to the good 'ol US of A, I'll take it any way they want to serve it up!

I just the preview, and it does look pretty good. Perhaps not as good as Spiderman, but it is tough to say because the preview scenes are mostly backround with the characters in the distance.
Audio sounded nice though.

BR- Do you have any links or TUT's on converting PAL to NTSC? I've converted DVD's to SVCD's, but I've never manipulated an already encoded disk. I've been to the usual haunts, Doom9, Vcdhelp, google search, but I haven't found anything useful or maybe I missed it.

Thanks in advance...

But to answer your question - AR & audio outta-sync is due to the fact that CTP always encodes their releases in PAL which doesn't work quite right on an NTSC system. Their releases are always out of whack like this for me on my Apex AD703, though they do play OK. Of course, folks outside of the US, who have PAL systems, see no problem w/ this at all (which is fine - 'cause I ain't a haytah, I'm a perpatraytah).

Sure wish they'd release their flix in NTSC, but seeing that this is a global community that doesn't necessarily cater to the good 'ol US of A, I'll take it any way they want to serve it up!

this isnt a new rip. Its was a VERY INTERNAL release by centropy and made like 1 - 2 days after the FTF rlz...

the thing is that they didnt want too much media attencion.. thats why they are rlzing it for public now....

GREAT MOVIE

make sure to use the default ASPI drivers, not the ones that get installed with CDRWin. Thats actually quite a common problem.

it continually pisses me of that you moan about stupid things like it was encoded in pal.

How is this release in comparison to the proper release? I have the proper, is it worth the DL to get CTP?

[NO REQUESTS, YOUR NEW, NOW YOU KNOW, I'VE REMOVED YOUR REQUEST - GANDALF]

[NO REQUESTS, YOUR NEW, NOW YOU KNOW, I'VE REMOVED YOUR QUESTION - GANDALF]

Y'know...

First time poster, long time reader.

It makes me smile when I see people claiming that after the "long wait" Centropy have "finally" released Episode 2. Wow, it took all of... what? 5 days after the offical opening date? I'm suprised some of you people could hold out that long.

Yeah, yeah, I know that the other versions were pre-releases, so you had to wait for almost a whole TWO WEEKS before getting a good version of the movie (which I thought sucked)

How do you stop people bitching about quality/speed of release/yada,yada,yada

The answer to the problems is easy.

From now on groups should ONLY release DVD Screeners and even then only a month before the movie goes on general release.

That would keep the whiners happy, as for me, I am happy to get free movies regardless.

Wow another example of my total lack of contacts and information - another kick as release that everyone on VCD Q forums found in their Coco Pops when they woke up.

Is there something I should know?

Tamed G

seems this should be named bitch 'n' moan forum .
too much bitchin,not enough serious comments.Who really cares about aspect ratio,pal or ntsc,vcd or svcd..........are you not getting it free???nuff said.......

movie is better than the last one,in my opinion.
quality is very good,sound is very good.9/10
well done CTP.

I was wondering if any one could help me here i downloaded
Star Wars Episode 2 - TELESYNC - Centropy and have the following crc errors...
cd 1 #43
cd 2 # 9 # 24
cd 2 # 21 #24

I tried to fix the files with winrar 3.0 with no success i even redownloaded the files and still i get the errors ...

despertly needing help.

TIA Dragon Lord

Alright, lets not all kiss Centropys ass at 1 time. Yes, I do love Centropy, but open your ears and eyes here ppl.

The sound is not the greatest, it cracks at points and then lowers in tone, then goes back to normal . Most ppl are tone deaf to this just b/c Centropy rlsed this SVCD. Yes, they did a GREAT job on the pic and audio, but this is a major flaw in my book for this great movie.

Video: 8.5
Audio: 7.9
Movie: 9.8

I'm going to expand on my earlier request for a comparison to the proper release. I found the proper release to have so-so sound and was rather dark -- almost impossible to see -- in the darker sections such as the Yoda kicking ass and the sneaking up on Tuskens.

For anyone who has seen both, is this version significantly better in these areas?

It is a step-by-step rundown of how to do it. The only thing I would recommend you do differently is to split the audio & video first, decompress the audio to .wav, and then do the re-encode w/ the two separate files.

Good Luck!

I encoded the movie with the ntsc template like I usualy do with the svcd and divx movies that I download, but with this version of episode2 , the mpg1 file came out like almost 2 seconds out of SYNC......what should I do

I have the same problem with TEMGenc. None of the files can be read into program to convert. Please someone who has conveted either Spiderman oe SWE2 post comments on this. In therory and by all directions I have seen this should work but it does not.

This is Centrpy's worst svcd release yet...like said earlier sound at times is unstable the bright scenes are horrible......should of been never made a svcd, the quality difference would be so minimal..what a few pixels damaged?....waste of a 3rd disc, i'll convert to vcd anyway

Centropy? Where?

I can't find the files anywhere (sorry new to this) I found a version but its like 352x240 and pretty crappy.
Can anyone tell me what TMD and SMR stand for and does TC stand for telecine? 'cause none of the pictures I have seen look like they have been converted through telecine.
If anyone could give me an e-mail at [email protected] or a hint it would be appreciated.

1st off, this is not a bitch. I am tickled pink to be able to DL this movie months before it is released for home viewing. And yes I have already payed my $ and seen it in the Theater as any discerning movie lover would.

The info re: PAL & NTSC is pertinant and useful to many, so don't be so quick to whine about people whining. And please don't turn this into a PAL is better than NTSC thing. They both have their advantages. In a perfect world we would have NTSC's frame rate with PAL's Scanning lines. But the world simply isn't perfect.

I'm not sure that I'm buying the AR explaination though. To me it seemed that Spider-Man was stretched horizontally, where as SW2 is stretched vertically. If this were simply a PAL/NTSC thing wouldn't both be stretched on the same axis equally. Being that the PAL SVCD standard is wider than NTSC, I could buy that Spider-Man was simply PAL encoded. But SW2 on the other hand is going to look anmorphically distorted even on a PAL system. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have watched as 3 other versions of this movie were offered on the net and passed them all by. This was the one that got me DLing. WTB Centropy!!! Keep up the great work.

i beg to differ bud-man i know different.

i agree. this is not one of Centropy's better releases. picture isnt that clear. but it is way better than any other previous release of this movie. too many idiots rate the movie by the screenshots

vcd vs. svcd

Hey, Mr. Plow, great directions on how to convert it from pal to nstc. Now, I don't suppose you can add a couple lines about how to convert it from SVCD to VCD?

Geez , there is a lot of 1 posters in this one ........ do you think we been waiting for this one lol THX CTP .....really good quality nothing to be re-encoded here look real sweet , the film oh well blame that on LUCAS .
I bet he is one NOT very happy puppy now lol ........
however all of us here and on the scene really do appreciate you guys bringing out a good quality Rls ..

You have got to be kidding!

Is Outrage_Display the only guy that watched the CTP copy? Thanks for the post, just wish I did not have to sort through 100+ messages of BS!

First, as always, thanks got out to CTP and all other groups!

Picture quality is much better then any other release. There are some really bright spots but nothing to be worried about. The sound on the other had has problems. The scene where Obi talks to the four armed dude looses volume for like 2 mins. There are pops here and there and in some scenes it will loose synce for 2-3 seconds.

I have all of the other SW 2 releases and by far this is best. If you must have a copy of this movie then CTP (as usual) is your best bet. Is it perfect? No.

If you are troubled by my post or think I am bashing CTP you are simply wrong. The whole point (from my limited understanding) is to give people a heads-up on the quality. If I have detered someone from taking up bandwidth to get a release they are not happy with then I have done some good.

i'm starting to like centropy svcd form...for some reason the svcd's have no sync problem like the vcd's did on my apex but the svcd's do come with another problem (very small one)...some points in the movie i get a flash of colored garble but its very quick and most of the time it in the black box at the bottom of the screen and in starwars it only happend maybe 3 time on each cd...it happend a lot in spiderman though.

what part of the film is missing from this centropy release?this is the first time i've seen the film.

oh yeah and the quality is pretty good in this release,good color and not much of that annoying blue problem most centropy releases have but some parts of the film turn out very bright cause a bright blur but it seems to fix itself after a few seconds.sound is great but for one part of the movie where the sound gets very low on and off for about 3 minutes.

ok, i got and watched it, and it is not as bad as some people make out, although i dont believe it warrented a SVCD.

Also, all those saying how crap the movie is, you obviously didn't pay all that much attention to the storyline, although i didn't like how it was based on the love of Anakin and Padmé, there are allot of significant events leading upto the beginning of the rise of Dark Sith, all in all i thought the storyline was much more developed and thought out than Episode I was.

p.s. Yoda Rulez & i am not a starwars finatic in any way

this release is great

first post, just wanted to touch base. this release is much clearer, then previous releases. sound is alittle crackly, but over all great on a digital surround system. the only set back it the brightness in some parts of the movies, the brights seem alittle blinding at times. but a solid 8 on pic, and sound, 9 on the movie itself. and I also noticed someone stating that it is missing the ending, not true. it is complete all the way to begining of credits. (note, however you dled it, you downloaded an uncompleted file). well. anyways. centropy rocks, along with every other group that brings us the releases on a day to day basis. Ive seen crappy copies, and i seen excellent, but when the day was done, its all good. enjoy.

Well first off... This is a Centropy SVCD so its obviously gonna be good... Don't even bother with the "unwatchable" FTF...I mean it is "Free"...but, the FTF hurts to watch...I am glad Centropy released there SVCD... I m not like sucking up to Centropy or anything...Just stating facts that they are one of the best release groups out there...Enough said...

I really don't understand what some people are bitching about.

I burned and played it on my Apex DVD player and watched it on my 32" RCA and the quality was superb. I didn't have any problems with the picture or the audio in any of the 3 CD's.

This release is by far the best one around. Props still go out to the other groups but I will have to say that Centropy has done it again.

Great job CTP. I'm looking forward to many more high quality releases from your group...

The standard here is PAL, this may have nothing to do with the two standard but the colors in NTSC always seem to be a little dull in comparrison to PAL.

there was some fuzz as if someone was fixing a wire and the sound would come on and off at times, this was like in the 30minutes of CD1... as someone said they had this the first week FTF release their copy.. maybe Centrophy should of help FTF get some boosts in tha ratings by giving them their copy

Awesome Job Centropy!

I got this release and burned it and it looks great! It looks better than vhs quality in a lot of it. Thanks for this release Centropy. Keep up all the good work.

this release is awesome can't fault it in anyway considering it has only been just over a week since its release keep em coming Centropy !!!!!

Good, but the sound is still lacking. It is better than the proper version but not by much. My main complaint with the proper release was the that it was too dark in some scenes. This release corrects that problem but has trouble in a few spots with it being TOO bright. Though, I'd reather have it too bright than too dark.

First things first...
I have not seen the whole movie yet.. just the first cd.. i though it was really b00ring :P (i'm not a starwars fan)

Everyting works fine on my Kiss DVDPlayer. Audio in sync.

This is a VERY good TS.
Some audio problems on the first cd nothing too bad though. In some very bright areas it is hard to see anything.. (I have not seen the movie in the cine so i dont know if its supposed to be like this)

Now to the flames :P

How can anyone bring themselvs to say VCD is better than SVCD. they must be terribly misinformed.
VCD: 356x256@CBR (CONSTANT BIT RATE!)
SVCD: 480x480/576@VBR (variable bit rate)

PAL vs. NTSC:
NTSC: [email protected]
PAL: 480x576@25fps

Americans have some really strange standards :P PAL is better. First it is a newer standard, it has a higher resolution and a more comfortable fps.

Nice, I knew they'd do it Way to not disappoint the fans centropy.

respect the centropy!!! (attack of the clones)

just saw a few minutes of this release and it´s much more than i was expecting. d/l a the proper version last week but this crap in comparision with centropy. image very good just some small sound probs everything seems very fine....respect!!!

s.

p.s. but no doubt about it YOU have to see this movie at a cinema with THX-sound-system. this copy is just for the long time future (2005) till the saga continues.
how many times i saw the original 3 parts! hundred times...;-)

Centropy rullez!

3 releases three strikes

1ftf shitty quality but full movie
2sevcd better quality than ftf(not by much) and almost complete(only the generic missing
3 ctp good quality(spiderman was better tho...) and abit of footage missing at the end of disk 2 and about 10minutes at the end (the end being fairly important)
you better go see this one at the theatre... or wait for the dvd

my cd3 was also cut off and i watched it on my computer with windvd. is there a way to make it play the whole movie or something else that won't cut it off?

I was very pleased with this version.
Quality is far better than the previous 2 versions i had and it does look like the last cople of mins are missing but they are not vital to the film

I just checked it on my computer using Elecard MPEG 2 Player and the ending is all there, right up until the point where it says "Directed by George Lucas".

Weird, the ending is there when I play the third disc in my Plextor drive, but it gets cut off when playing it on my Toshiba DVD-ROM. Hmm, oh well.

Spooks, here. Watched this last weekend on my Electrohome DVD Player...the AR didn't look as bad as it did on my comp using WinDVD. But you know what? IT DOESN'T MATTER! I still get to watch the movie whenever I want, and that's what I'm happy about. Great job with the rlz, Centropy! If pple can't deal with the extra CD, don't dl it or learn to recode. Just please don't complain!

**************************************************
Video: 8----> GREAT colour and detail..holds up with motion..PAL res
Audio: 7----> Sound is full and rich...slight fallout @ 31:07 on CD1..great, though!
Overall: 8.5--> A great film and a great rlz..man, I hope I get to post more reviews of rlz's like this!!

End is there

I watched it on PowerDVD XP and the end was there. Even the first few seconds of the credits are in tact. Seems strange that so many people are missing the end.

Yes this is true, overall this is a great release, best to date, but sound does start screwing up towards the end of the first disk, honestly thats all I watched was the first disc, I have seen it already, but was checking the quality, and its as good as spiderman, maybe even better besides for the sound problems which if ya ask me is fine, there minor!!!

I have to give this post the most support

hit the nail on the head for this one

awsome release esp; to sit at home and watch, as good as spiderman if not better, besides the poping sound towards the end of first disk, and aspect looks fine to me , though I have pal/ntsc player "apex rocks" all you bit*h's should quit crying or go to the theaters yourself and bootleg it, then when ya get caught and sent up the river dont come crying back later on saying "you were all right" just cuzz you got poked up the ass, anyone that has something to say about this release are fuking lame, its a ts for crying out loud, not a fuking dvdrip

Thx, Peilo

Heya, spooks here. Just wanted to say thx for the good word, Peilo. I'm here to post no-bs-reviews, 'cause that's why people come to these boards. Enough with the whining and get down to the real details! I didn't want to be another n00b in the crowd

Thx again, Peilo.... "My kind of fan!"

Watch out for me..I'll be around!

hey spooks

I hope ya didnt post your real address as location, that wouldnt be wise

I thought was a decent release from ctp. Certainly not there best work. But overall nice colors, a little audio problem on cd1. Thanks ctp for the release.

nice

having watched the film shit as a film but good as a release top marks boys

prob w/ cd2 burning

do i need a 800 MB CDR >???

cuz i juss finished d/l and i try to burn it and it says please insert a bigger cdr

Re: prob w/ cd2 burning

are you burning as svcd, close out wizard in nero and go to new, and scroll down to svcd drag the file over to compilation window, let in load up and burn should burn fine up to 800mbs easy, you downloaded this as mpeg or bin and cue ?

bin/cue

Spooks here. matt0323, there's two ways to burn your .bin/.cue files. Do the first if you want to see your .mpg before you burn, or choose the second if you just want to burn.

1) Grab isoBuster from http://www.smart-projects.net/isobuster/. Double click on the .bin file, enter the MPEG2 folder and right click on the .DAT file. Choose "Extract but filter M2F2 frames", or smtg like that, and enter a filename with ".mpg" extension. Let the program extract. Now, you can check the file with a software DVD program. Now, open up Nero and create a new SVCD. Drag your .mpg file and let Nero run its check. Then, burn!

2) If you want a faster way, use CDRWIN or Fireburner to burn the straight .bin and .cue files. Load up the 'cuesheet' (.cue) and burn! Also, Nero can burn .bin and .cue files. (BTW - these files are just images files of the original CD)

Hope this helps!

ok then again close out wizard in nero

In nero go to file----> the in the drop down click on burn image then point to your cue file, hope that helps, I have had more success burning bin and cue with nero then I have in fireburner..

problem to burn on cds

Hi. I´m new with svcd format. I recently download the three cd´s of episode II (centropy). I used a program called vcdgear to extract the mpeg files from the bin files so i can use a power dvd o microdvd to see the movie. Great Movie. But the mpg files are about 800 MB so i cant burn them to cd´s
Later i tryied to burn the iso files: first i used winiso to convert bin file to iso file. Later i used my burn program to burn the iso files. But that doesnt work either.
With the cd make it i explored with the windows explorer and i can see the video cd extructure with the directories. But i just cant see the movie with my power dvd program or other player.....how can i do that? how can i burn the files so i can delete my mpg files of my hard disk and i can see the movie in my computer with cd´s?
thanks for the help
Santiago.

Heya, spooks here. sfvidal, check out my post above. Just burn the .mpg as an SVCD within Nero. The SVCD format will remove lots of the data error correction that comes on a CD, thus allowing you to burn 800Mb onto an SVCD (since you don't need error correction for a simple .mpg stream). Read my earlier post, and ask if you still have questions

Open Nero > in the wizard select SVCD > enter label, etc, ensure NTSC format is checked > drag the .mpg onto the CD layout > let Nero check the file > burn!

Great Work WINK WINK This is great never knew a friend of Mine COuld Do such a great work on this

excellent copy, shoulda wait for this one................

two thumps up.......

I did it!!! subtitles

Thanks for the advice! I do the burn of the bin files! thanks for the help
just to try i did it by two ways.. burning cd from bin image..and the other way: first extracting the mpeg file from the bin file. Later using the svcd template of nero...
both ways works for me..
Is there any difference? are both ways the same?
Another question: i have the subtitles ...but how i can use it in a svcd version? if i have the mpeg files in my hard disk i can use microdvd with the subtitiles...but if i have the movie in cd´s how can i used the subtitileS? can i burn the subtitles files in the cd´s?
Thanks.
