Hi,

From SAMPLE-

Is a dark scene anyways, But pic quality seems ok, slight cropping, sound is Good for a CAM slightly hollow, but thats expected..

Sound 7/10
pic 6/10

probs get nuked for the cropping, watch if ur dying to see it tho..im sure therell be a TS pretty soon as per usual..

Props for fast release tho ODEAN!

Stu

Nuked already for the horrible tilt.

the white shit, as already mentioned is annoying as fuck. i also see these horizontal lines (not like interlacing, i dont know what they are) only when theres motion though.


quite pixelated too.

the one thing that bugs me is the angle. why wasnt it cropped out ? fixed? i guess since its a new group theyre not skilled enough yet to do it, hopefully they will improve.

4/6/x

NUKED horrible.angle.and.tilt.along.with.unecessary.SVCD.format.and.also.horizontal.shakey.lines
always good to see a new group so ill try and be kind.

geez, odeon is really coming through this weekend, first valiant, now miss congeniality 2 (its listed on nforce)

i Noticed that too lol but i have yet to see a sample of miss congeniality 2

Hi everyone,

The audio on this is 192 at 48Hz, which is out of standard for svcd's and may cause problems on some players, thought you might want to know.

Hope their other new one, (miss congeniality 2), doesn't have the same audio, because it will surely be nuked too.


Edit> apparently , according to the sample miss congeniality 2 has standard audio.

How can anyone say this is watchable? The dark scenes are not just a LITTLE dark, they are practically a black screen. Sound is great but movie is NOT watchable. Thanks for the early release and effort but too many scenes are just too dark to make it worth watching. The tilt wasn't that bad and I could have lived with it seeing how early of a release it was... just wish it was brighter.

It seems like a movie the kids will like. Since I haven't watched it completely I won't rate on the movie itself.

2/7/?

Quality isn't so bad, for a fast release it must be given higher notes, well I'll give 6.5/5/6

Decent release with minor problems which can be fixed with re-encoding

Video is dark and has white stuff at the top and it needs cropping quite a bit, other than that the quality is fairly good, i'm sure re-encoding should help with most of this

Sound is actually pretty good for a cam, not too hollow

6/6/8

one thing i dont understand is how they managed to do a 1 disc svcd. how long is this movie anyway?

edit: Runtime: 109 min / France:75 min. seems like its too long for svcd

edit:: actual runtime: 1:08:43 or 68.5 minutes

4/6/?

wots with the shat this weekend?

Hi everyone,

This release is 1:11:39 long,,(for NTSC), or minus 4 minutes for Pal. It's all there just no credits.

As I stated before the audio is out of standard at 192 which enables the Vid bitrate to be higher and also fit on one cd.
Also as someone stated the dark scenes are almost black actually, (and there are unfortunatlely a few), which enables those sections to have an even lower bitrate than the rest of the clip.
Trying to re-encode this , and adding adjustments for the dark scenes doesn't help. There just isn't enough information there to bring out any kind of visible objects with quality, no matter how many filters I tried.

It was alittle better but not enough for my standards. Now as for the kids....well they may not mind as much, lol.

Respect for the speed of this release......... But the picture quality plus the tilt makes it one of the worst ive seen lately......

5.0/6.0/8.0

wait for a better copy as this will spoil the film,saw this at cinema and kids loved it

crap

1/1/8 whats the point

Video is a little dark and there is a tilt - sound is clear.

but not bad for 1st release.
