-- The Butterfly Effect *WS* - DVDRIP - FLiX (http://forum.vcdq.com/showthread.php?threadid=38792)

too bad it's PAL, that means we gotta wait for the dvdr releaese ... That sucks!

Movie is good, ending sucks ... but I won't spoil it for anyone, just watch but prepare to be disappointed.

Haven't seen anything but the sample, possible questionable source? Not sure, only rumors, please confirm if anyone hears anything ...

/me holds for NTSC DVDR

I hope someone propers this crap. Wow what a nasty encode. I have never seen a DVDRip like this. I'll wait for a NTSC WS edition. 8/9/X

worst dvdrip you ever seen ? and you give it an 8/9 ....dumb rating...anyhow, AR is a little wierd, even though its pal, it doesnt look like retail final....kinda like the Underworld issue...that was a huge mess...anyhow, pic is ok, but in dark scenes, and this movie has many, there as some darker spots then normal...doesnt look right, in the corners...anyhow, my rating

6/8/9 ...i enjoyed the movie, and how can you really fuck up audio

weird AR as mentioned typical flix rls more than watchable will do nicely till retail

7/9/9

The AR is little off since its PAL the audio has a somewhat of a 'echo' to it if you listen to most of the sound effects things like rustling paper... the movie is awesome it is a very watchable release 9/7.5/10

Damn just watched CD1 and the video is really not that great for a DVDRip I think its more of a PDVD. 4/9/10

Like everyone else said it, AR is a bit off but it's still certainly watchable.

7/8/8

8/8/9

not that bad..looks ok to me. I just wish the dvdr was available already.

8/8/10

telecine?

Looks like a very nice telecine pdvd to me. if you look at the credits at the end, they are slightly crooked which I've seen in alot of other telecines(matrix revolutions, t3 for example). Its definitely the best version out now, video is clear and so is the audio, although the audio sounded almost a bit high pitched, like it was playing just slightly too fast. I only noticed that when the mother was talking though but maybe her voice is normally that high pitched. damn, no wonder why the father went crazy, having to listen to that everytime they have sex would drive me crazy too! =)

Ok so i just finished watching this release.. and thought i'd comment on how good the movie was. Read the posts made already and they all slagged this encode off.

no problems here with it look fine! great movie and watched it last night with family good rls.
8/8/10

No problems here.
Except For the audio issue, it echos with certain sounds, but only in certain parts so it's not noticable.
I like the Pal resolution too

god. flix just shitted themselves if this is a fake labeled dvdrip.

Anyone who thinks this is a PDVD or a TC is very misguided and must have watched this on WMP or summat! The only problem i had with this rls was the fact like mentioned in other posts the Audio has an Echo in places! I dunno why this happens and maybe it is meant to! But the picture for me was fine! I live in the UK an i have a PAL player so maybe the people playing this on an NTSC player are gettin some problems! This rip is fine!

9/7(if it isnt meant to echo)/9

Film was very good!

wheres the dvdr of this puppy

if this wasn't a pdvd there would be a PAL dvdr ... there isn't and FLiX & their DiVX group have been taking a lot of heat on this shit they released. Not good, tsk tsk

I seriously don't know what people have been watching because I thought this was well good........both the rip and the film.
A TC? I think not!
Bad ending.....where?
I enjoyed this immensly!
As for it being PAL, well that's a discussion that will never end as people in America seem to find it not only difficult to find players that manage all regions, but to also understand that there is a whole world outside of their continent, whereas in Europe one just doesn't purchase a player that's not multi-region.

I couldn't give a monkey's whether it's PAL or NTSC.
They all play fine on my player.

yea ppl talking about pdvd or tc should buy glasses, video was as good as it gets, audio however had a metallic echo that was very annoying. loved the movie, was like a light version of donnie darko.

9/5/7

Can't say I noticed anything wrong with the video, the audio does (as has been mentioned a LOT of times) is weird in places.

AWESOME movie. Reviews said it was pretty crappy, but I watched it and LOVED it. Totally took me by suprise (how good it was)

As for the whole PAL/NTSC things... Doesn't bother me one bit.

Forgot my ratings...

Video 8
Audio 6
Movie 9

Wow, i hear an awful lot of bitching about what I consider to be a great fucking rip no matter what the source TC or DVD... Anyways best rls so far.. Great pic and sound.. Has full credits and the ? people should be asking is i've watched it twice and i don't see A Single Cigarette Reel Change burn that is obviously in a TC, even the best ones have it. Unlike the mislabled Texas Chainsaw Massacre- DVD-Chakra that was clearly a TC..
As for it being PAL, bah i have an all region auto convertable play anything, anywhere,anytime DVD player.. No complaints here.. IF this rls isn't good enuff for you than you are HIGH people.. It's an awesome rip of a great movie.. Ending kinda sux, but now i just want a WS of the Directors Cut with additional footage that New Line has just released for the Infiniflim dvd that streets July 6th Till then i'm a ok.. Nice Rip FLiX


8.5/8/8.5

Video: The lower framerate is definately noticable in faster scenes, lots of MPEG artifacts, inconsistent looking fleshtones. 6.

Audio: Sound effects like papers shuffling, drawers opening, sound like they've been hit with a phaser. Pretty annoying. 6.

Movie: Good, I heard the ending sucked but it worked for me. 8.

Other: Credits cut off early, letterboxing at top is slightly diagonal, doesn't seem like a retail DVDRip to me.

The DVD Retails 6th July. For anyone who cares!

OMG... i can't believe i almost past on this release because i read some pretty bad reviews on them.. but THANK GOD I DIDN"T LISTEN.. this is by FAR AN AMAZING RELEASE!!! OMFG.. i can't believe you guys rated so low.. the VIDEO IS PERFECT... i would give it 9 or even 10.. the audio is alright... probably an 8 or so.. Geez.. i think you guys have messed up monitors or something.. if you play this release on tv, you'll notice a huge difference.. yeah, on the monitor it's alright, but on tv.. it's just WOW!!!!
No need to wait for anymore, this is the only one you need to get.. ANd there is NO DARK SCENES at all.. wtf are people talking about... they must have dark monitors... brighten up your monitors.. it's not the release is the problem, i think it's you...
And ALSO THE ENDING DOES NOT SUCK!!! OMFG... i think we should have age groups posted up to see what type of people are watching these movies.. The ending IS GREAT!!! I don't see a problem about it at all.. And you know what movie sucked the most and rated so high? Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.. that movie SUCKED SO HARD and yet people loved it... puke...

Vertrif

wow just watched first disc.. and good rip but the sound is WACK! not complaining tho... thanx "FLiX" for this early release!

Anyone that can't find anything wrong with the video is a moron...look a little closer...i can see it from from 10 feet away...the left half of the screen seems to twitch up and down....after you watch the movie for awhile you don't notice it...but when i first started watching the movie...its a little annoying! The echo i also got use 2

7/7/8

I've waited to post on this, and have seen parts of the flix movie... and while video is not bad, the fact that NO DVDR is out proves this isnt a dvd source.. I mean the fact of the matter being, if it was a true dvdrip, there would be a release... hence this is probably just a really nice telecine at that. While sufficient, still isn't a dvdrip...and groups should label stuff properly and not try and pass of sources.
