Finally

Been waiting for this for some time now.. Extended Edition Box Set for Xmas anyone?

From Sample1 (there's 3) :

Same quality as the previous 2 EE releases.. does the job very nicely wish the audio was a bit louder though (could be just me!). will watch the whole thing tonight.. its 2am and time for sleep.

9/9/?

Hmmz there is something strange with sample...
It has a bitrate of 1100kbit/sec (voor video). But look at this:
Audio stream = 448kbit/sec
Video stream = ??kbit/sec
3 cd's = 2150400kB = 17203200kb
17203200kb - (448*251*60) = 10456320kb for video stream.
10456320kb = (x * 251 * 60)
x = 694kbit/sec
So for video you have 694kbit/sec left with 3 cd's...

Why if you have the dvd in your hands try to make a 3cd's rip instead of 4???

Anyway 7/8/10

Great release!

I heard this has no subs....does it needs subs for some elvish or something? I forgot lol

finally is right

been waiting for this to, going to watch it tonight aswell
from sample looks crisp and clean

the exception of the video tilt



if video was striaghter i'd give it a higher rating..

My rating is based on a TS..not camparing it to anyother type of release.. e.g. cam,dvd rip,screener, etc... -Quote by Naught1

Have to say the sound is a little low, but other than that great release.

8/7/10

with decent hardware, sound is never too low unless there's a major error its probably just the way it is on the disc as i'm sure there's sections that are much louder than the average. hence you need to lower the average to accomodate these. i'd much rather turn the dial slightly higher on my amp (its rarely over a quarter of the way up, never more than a third) than have an artificial boost myself.

well after joining this with virtual dub mod i found theres an overlap at all joins which knocks the sync out guess ill have to wait fot the dvdr

This looks good using a projector and 95" screen. Obviously really soft, but that is to be expected from XviD, nothing to be done about it.

F DVDR. For this movie, retail is the only way to go. The pre is great to wet the appetite though.

Couldn't agree more, this is a kickass release.
Well done Alliance.

Overlap and low video Bit Rate

Having joined [with no sync problems to report] I find a very visible overlay between CDs. Very irritating. I was expecting better.

Plus I'm using G-Spot here and its telling me that the second disk has a far higher video bit rate than the other two disks [which makes sense given that the middle disk is considerably shorter]. I've done the maths with a few bitrate calc and it all adds up.

What were they thinking? It can't be that they cut the parts where the scenes end, since the overlap skipping occurs in the middle of scenes.

That all said, plenty of extra bits so I'll happily buy the DVD.

Hmm isn't the extended version about +4 hours ?!?
Checked it and can't really see any new scenes, have u guys seen any?
Usually these should be 4 disc's or even 5 for such a long movie with so much details.
Is it supposed to be the short version but from the extended box set? Just asking.

was grabbing this.. then bought the dvd instead. its £19 so fuck it, i wasted enough discs in the past on various LOTR dvds just to buy the EEs anyway.. was £18 from dvd.co.uk and my friend already has his, even tho its not "out" till teh 12th. so nice and easy for anyone to get this pre

Can't get cd3 to play or load in anything to fix it. Downloaded it twice. Anyone know what's up or how to handle something like this?

you DIDN'T notice any new scenes? wow... so you didn't notice the mouth of sauron, or sarumans death, oh, you didn't see the witch king try to bitch-slap gandalf, or the fate of the hoard commander, or the extended city of the dead scenes... perhaps you grabbed the WRONG release, or fell asleep? (i dunno, apparently i hear it might be possible to fall asleep during this film, but i dont quite believe it...)

Finally got a good copy.

Sound is too low in some quiet scenes.

End credits got chopped, long after the nice artsy part and they were too blurred to read anyway, but I liked the music and didn't liked getting jarred by the cutoff.

9/8/10

Hah di Hah....

EDIT: NO one cares where you get your releases .P

Guess I chose a good one too. And to think the Extended Edition is longer than Ken Brannagh's uncut Hamlet version. Jesus H. Christ. My hair grew a millimeter before I finished this

9.5/7.5/9.5

But this movie's worth it.

PS. The ulcer-covered orc leader is hot! He can give me head any day

Interesting post there, AlecWilting...

This release needed 4 CD's minimum. It's 251 minutes long, so 2510 MB. I'm sure noone would've minded if it were 4 CD. No matter there are other release out there, and you can rent it then rip it even :P
