Nice Release
Watermark was cropped from the bottom.
Still looks very good though.

8/8/7

OK so you can see the top of the "FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION" now and again,So what.
The video is quality,the audio is quality and the film is quality.
Nobody mentions that the audio is DOLBY 5.1.
How many rips come along this fast and of this quality?

Not many.

My ratings for this are :-)

Video -- 9.5
Audio -- 10.0
Film -- 9.0

Can someone verify if this is indeed a DVD SCR?

Very nice & very quick
v 9
a 10
m 7 (at least thats the other halfs opinion...i'll give it a miss)

Nice release from Pride, good stuff.

Video - Crisp and clear, good transfer. No noticeable pixellation, colours holdup well. Has "For Your Consideration" as a watermark every 15minutes, lasting for 15seconds. This, as has been said before, has been cropped to leave about an 1/8th of what it would be.

However i cannot see the necessary reason for taking this out and therefore cropping that amount of picture. Ok fair enough there is less copyright message, but it is not like it is there constantly, only for a brief amount of time. So im going to guess there was some more detail hidden as well as what seems obvious..............but a minor qualm on an otherwise fine picture.

Audio - all good, nuff said.

Movie - Very well written story, divulging the intricacies of a japanese pastime. Is a little slow paced, but includes enough detail to keep watching, second CD really brings it all together. I enjoyed it, worth a watch if you like Asian cinema.


8.5/9/8

Amazing release, 9/9/x. The girlie will absolutely love this

Can't believe how fast it came out!

very nice. audio & video are great. 2CD with AC3 always rules

as for the "for your consideration" message...yeah they might have been able to get away with cropping the rest of it off since it's just a few pixels more to crop. but they could not have left it all there because it obviously would extend into the "black bar" at the bottom, which definately needed to be cropped out.
overall i'm happy the message was placed so low by the studio so that most of it could be cropped off with the black bars. no b&w either

movie, haven't read the book, but enjoyed the film.

9/9/8.5

were there suppose to be english subs at the beginning of the movie? i couldnt understand what they were saying for the first couple minutes and then the english naratioin kicks in. Any seen this in the theatre know if the movie has subs at certain spots?

9/10/?? not finished yet

9.8.8 good quality, the cut off consideration part was not really an issue, movie was visually good but not very factual

All I want to comment on is the cropping on the bottom. If you notice during the movie the top of the "message" is off-center. This is because to the right of it and a bit smaller is a serial# that is used to show the source. Many of the Academy screeners given out this year have a unique serial# embedded in them. Thems the shakes.

Enjoyable movie.

Vid - 9
Aud - 9
Movie - 8

Other than the watermark, excellent screener. Nice vidio, good sound, decent movie, tho' really not like the book which went into intricate details on geisha life.
But that would have made a 6-8 hour mini series.

9/9/7

Did NOT like the movie - too long and boring in my opinion.



::EDIT:: Spoiler removed - NS::

Beautiful crop mates.

Who here doesn't love the cropping if it was to remove the serial #?
Beautiful crop mates.

The video however, seem to be too dark. The video needs to have the contrast lightened quite a bit to see the details of the video's gray scale. Also, I had to increase the color saturation by a lot to put some life into the movie.

Video 7 - cropping has nothing to do with the 7
Sound 9 - not bad
Movie 8 - realistic, slow at times, relatively unique

Overall a Good Screener - Especially This Early

I Give this Screener a 9/9/10
the only reason the video didn't get a 10 was because of the slight appearance of information at the bottom of the movie every so often and also the picture quality was alittle soft

overall a good screener

Watched this entire release with the GF a few days ago...

Video is excellent despite the "For your Consideration" doohickey at the bottom that occaisionally appears (although it's cropped off). The rest of the movie is in mint condition with no B/W scenes or other weird shit. Audio is excellent, as is the movie - although not as awesome as some critics would have you believe.

A "gentle" movie that is best enjoyed with a bottle of wine on the couch with the Missus

::EDIT:: Oh yeah... and it IS the DVD Screener

Encoding is perfect except one scene on CD2 during snow/dance sequence (minor frame freezing)
otherwise nice copy. Great sound and decent movie (for a chick flick)

* Note Pride has just released a *proper of this.. (hopefully the problematic dance sequence is fixed)

Anyone knows why this mark is here or its meaning?

Can't convert AVI 5.1 Audio to 2 Channel MPEG2

Hey!,

Got a copy of this film, Sound is in 5.1. When I use WinAVI v7.1 to convert to MPEG2, (with the intention of joining up and burning to DVD) I lose the main dialogue channels and only get the background music, how can I get around this?

ThanX In Advance
