Crapper man I think you may confuse what movie you seen cause king kong 2005 in no way sucked my friend. Best movie in a f'n long time my friend.

Video of this def. sharper
Audio 10 times better then ast.
Movie 10 straight up best movie since the titanic hands down.

Nice rls, video qual is pretty much the same as asteriods imo. AR is out slightly. Audio is considerably better.

7.5/8.5/8

__________________

I didn't notice the bad AR. Video is better than asteroids. The colors are more vibrant, and its a bit sharper. The audio sounds full, and is a definite improvement. Thanks for the quality stuff PRODiGY!

CATBOX

If you do a frequency analysis on both releases (asteroids + prodigy) you will notice that prodigy have actually used/stolen the audio from asteroids (how lame is that!!)..

Every spike + line noise after 16000 Hz is perfectly identical in both releases (and this is not the movie itself, its line noise!)

So basically... what can I say? They removed some bass, enhanced the mid-range and amplified the entire thing... It's what I would have done, but now I don't have to!

--mynd

Well the question I have for you all that have seen this is: what's the cropping like? Is it better or worse than Asteroids'?

grabbed the sample from the prodigy TC and compared it with the asteroids tc and the same scene..

they looked exactly the same?

someone else might want to double check.

ok ive checked both qualities on this one and ASTEROiDS

ASTEROiDS has the better video but you can bearly notice the difference. you have to look real hard to see which one is better. actually i compared 3 different scenes to find out. id give ASTEROiDS video a 8.7 out of 10 and PRODiGY's video a 9 out of 10

PRODiGY (this one) has the much better audio. ASTEROiDS's audio is muffled and very low. PRODiGY's is crisp, clear, and loud. id give PRODiGY's audio a 9 out of 10 and ASTEROiDS's auido an 7.5 out of 10.

out of the 2 releases, PRODiGY wins because of its audio.

rls-video/audio
PRODiGY- 8.7/9
ASTEROiDS- 9/7.5

id give the movie itself a 10 out of 10. its a must watch!

@yatri25: It's the same. Check: hxxp://img510.imageshack.us/img510/2531/kk11yz.jpg

V=10, no more blurr in the far away shots.
A=9, great. To bad no AC3.
M=7, would have been higher. If they had cut the first 50 minutes. Feld like Titantic -in short- to me.

yeh this is much better than asteroids which is good coz i didnt get round to downloading the full rls.

v 9.5 (super nice, much sharper than asteriods copy, richer colors, and the blacks are black rather than dark grey)

a 9 (clear and direct, theres none of that shit where they get cam audio and remove various frequencies of sound to pass it off as direct, resulting in radio quality sound)

m ? (STILL havent seen it, but hope to soon)

Overall it looks similar quality to the telecine of aeon flux in terms of picture, and the sound is better than most direct audio being put out by groups these days

thanks PRODiGY!!

the difference between compression and encoding is:

compression software works the same way as trying to get The 404, who is 350lbs, through a normal door. its method is to basically keep kicking The 404 until he gets thru the door. This works quickly, but leaves a nasty mess.

encoding software is the equivalent of The 404 going on a diet and walking thru the door. takes longer and sometimes more skill, but ultimately worth it.

King.Kong.2005.PROPER.TC.XVID-PRODiGY is the best to date.

I don't care about the AR (Aspect Ratio) as much as over cropping as with the Asteroids release. I tweak the AR with the player when I watch movies, So AR aint no big deal to me.
One up for PRODiGY.

Remember these rating are in terms of TC.

Video 9 - Rich colors, sharp contrast the only flaw is some
________slight [encoding] ghosting around some objects. Easily
________the best video for this title to date.
Audio 10 - A very robust range of tones, strong volume, no
________noise. Easily the best audio for this title to date.
Movie 9 - A great version of King Kong. Not sure I liked the
________ending Mr Jackson.

PRODiGY, good on ya mates!
Supor Super

Video 7 ( looks the same as Asteroids release to me )

Audio 9 (alot better Asteroids )

Movie 8 ( worth watching more than once but not an all time great for me)

BANNED! Just because I said "nub"? LOL! Oh, well... I guess Protektor is sucking the admins cocks.

Video: Comparing it to Asteroids this one is actually a bit blurry, stretched vertically and slightly more colour added.

prodigy's is cropped the exact same way...and has a bad AR too.

7/8/8

sorry, can't stand skinny ppl

best release of the movie so far. Audio and video are above par for the 15 minutes I watched, couldnt sit through another screening of this average movie. Somebody should erase LOTR from Jackson's memories, he is suffering from a LOTR hangover. Pretty good popcorn flick for the teen crowd though, so no wonder it is getting rave reviews

//end of rant

8/7/4

Shame on Prodigy for calling this a proper, they streched it and played with the sound and messed up Asteroids TC. I carefully looked at this in VirtualDub and by resizing Astroids TC they blurred it. VCDQuality got it right by Nuking it. I'll stick with Asteroids Thanks!

Good Quality

V: 8.5
A: 8.5
M: 8.5

Thanks a lot for this

Happy new year

Alluro

Well I Just got this for the audio which i used with Asteroids/NBP's Video Source And Now i got a Nice Copy for myself and All In Sync

But anywayz the purpose of this release was for better audio...kinda surprise that Prodigy had found Direct Audio Cuz they have a hard time finding it for there releases

Video-8(Bad AR and Just sharpened The Pic from Asteroids)

Audio-9(Nice Direct And Better Than NBP's)

Movie-7

See No "The Rock" ??

Definitely the best release yet. So what if AR is slightly off. Most dvd players nowadays let you have whatever AR you want.

Video - 9

Audio - 9

Movie - 9

Watched this last night on my stand alone and 65" widescreen, didn't notice any ar issue, (used expand format on tv which might have helped). Out of all the releases so far, this has much better audio than any of them including Asteroids. The best one to get so far.

V-8 ( a little bright in places)
A-8 (best out of all releases)
M-9 excellent, better than I thought it would be.

__________________

Shame that it's been nuked. I understand scene rules, but good thing it's being propagated fairly well anyhow.

Definitely the best quality release. Does in fact have a slightly bad AR, check it on the univeral "earth" at the beginning, it's taller than wide. This certainly isn't noticable during playback. GSpot shows video of 608 x 256 which is 2.375:1

Video itself is decent for an hour and a hlaf per disc, but a bit bright and washed.

Audio is 2 channel (mp3) but very crisp, much more so then asteroids' which is windy and hissing. The only downside to the audio in this release is the lack of low bass. On a good system, the LFE channel doesn't slam when it should, which makes Kong's presence a bit diminished as compared with the theater's subbass, as it slams almost constantly in this movie.

Film itself is fantastic, although I'd have to say to make sure you see it on the big screen, it's worth it. or wait for the DVD if you have a good home theater. This one warrants a huge screen and a powerhouse system to do it justice.
