-- Man On Fire *SVCD* - TELESYNC - ThP (http://forum.vcdq.com/showthread.php?threadid=40175)

from sample ... looks like both channels audio which is good ... dunno if it needed svcd encode, but it's pretty good quality from the sample .... definate improve from whatever their last release was or whatever ... definate improvement from HABS


video 8
audio 8
movie 9.5, very compelling, used storyline

Not the greatest telesync on earth, but far from the worst. Movie was good, as are most with Denzel.

6/7/7

Just finished watching entire rls, horrible audio, shitty pic as well. washed out and too dark. changing my rating to a 3/4

Should be a nuke for having the cheek to put this quality on SVCD.

Rated as VCD i'd go 6/6, as it's an SVCD, 1/1

SVCD & 3 CD *sigh* /meh shakes head

The Picture little blocky at odd spots , the colors are washed and the screen is bright. The Sound has a big hiss to it but both channel audio.

6/5/?

Audio had a slight humm to it (possible cam source?) and if you know much about this, you can tell heavy filtering was done on it. From the sample, the girls voice is pretty clear, but when you get to the deeper bass of Denzels voice, it gets to be semi-unintelligible. I fear the rest of the movie will be hard to understand.

The video is a rare combination of being washed out, yet still too dark. It looks like the original feed was very dark, and they just kept hitting that 'brighten' button on the encode. So, for my ubbiased rating:

5/4/?

This barely meets my standards for watching, and is actually probably a little below that, but I think that this may be the best bet for you if you really want to see it, as I am guessing there wont be a better release of it in the near future. Prove me wrong though, this has potential to be great, judging from the press.

Enjoy!

V-5.5
A-6
M-i've not watched it yet, looks good.

V: 7 (too much noise)
A: 7 (decent)
M: 8 (good)


Personally once i sorted the audio on the HABS rls and watched on TV it was ok. couldnt complain for a first release. However, this is the same source as HABS, with sound fixed and formatted to SVCD. Typical example of why all TS should not be SVCD.

SeeDee_MKII,

Your absolutely right, this is the same source.

The graininess is present on the HABS too but they had the good sense to encode at 352x240. The hiss comes from changing the audio to stereo, the habs had a slight hiss to it which would then be compounded 2x's, if it wasn't corrected first. The Habs was fine after I corrected the audio, and not for nothing was a better vid quality, (imo), than the Imperial Punisher release.

Which would be another example of why all TS's should not be SVCD's, lol.

4/4/8

R I P P E R . N O T E S

no need to cluttter directory name with proper, enjoy this rls with audio coming in from all places...

Proper who? HABS was a VCD TS (even thou mislabled CAM) .... this is a SVCD TS which shoulda been VCD. So you wouldnt have been propering anyone.

No major disrespect to ThP but this is just not good. And def. not worth the svcd.

from cd1
6/5/9

dont really care to download the other 2 disc.

I fixed all the issues to the Habs version and re-encoded and enhanced the audio and video and burned to dvd.
And my version is better than this.

Am I the only one missing the .rar file from the repack?

The sample lookz decent enough, however when i finally watched the whole thing itz terrible.

audio is both channels but washed out
video is too bright in places and blocky

4/5/7

NO WAY! Not that good.
6/6/9
Movie kicked a&S but too bad the quality sucks. I'm waiting for a better copy. hope one comes soon!

think u folks expect to much,if u wanna see this movie,download this,quality aint bad,movie was good,video for a ts bout 6,sound for a ts 6,after the bad quality reviews i was gonna let this 1 go,glad i didnt,its a touch better than tcf punisher.thx for the release thp.

Haven't watched all the movie yet, I give the it a 7/7 ... also there is a water mark on CD 2 on this release, right in the middle of the frame.. I didn't know theatre releases were watermarker... Its five red dots shaped like a X..

But I believe this release is total watchable, I really don't hear giggles or anything like that.... its good..

Movie doesn't sound like ass, if you want it to sound better go to the damn movies and watch it, don't complain... if you can do better than show us

Also the editing effects are overdone...

i just got done watchin this.. pretty good release. nice colors ok sound.. it did seem like a sence or 2 is missing nothin u lose any plot or action over..

7/7/7

better of the two releases, decent film too, passionate perfomance by Denzil Washington

video - nice, is worth more than the 5/6's that have been handed out so far. colour is a little washed out but doesnt really retract from the overall quality. Also there is pixelation throughout the film when the camera spins with memory flashbacks etc. One major qualm i have with this rip is that the bottom of the picture is chopped off (any one else noticed this??) and a fair part of the film is subtitled - so reading this parts is not an option it is lucky that some of the subtitles apear away from the bottom of the screen and so are readable, however this is not in the majority!!

audio - nice, very audible, didnt notice any outside noise, so TS label is probably correct.

movie - does drag on during the first half hour or so, but after this it really picks up, leading you on Denzil's quest for revenge over the little girl he was supposed to be bodyguarding. Build up of characters is well implemented, and realationship between Denzil and the little girl develops nicely so that you do care about his search for her once she is kidnapped.

video - 7 (wudve been eight had the subtitiles not pissed me off)
audio - 8
movie - 9

I watched the sample 6/6/?

Now that's out of the way, has anyone noticed that cd3 won't burn or did we all just watch the sample?

watchable...

from what i watched..

Video- 7 cause it was dark at some parts but i cleaned that up with my Tv (way better than a cam) SVCD stretch it out but no biggie and as far as blocky! i hardly saw it...


Audio- it has a little hiss but to we're you cant bare it..i just adjust the treble on the surround sound and bam..it was fixed


Movie- was really great...i love ending where bad guys get away cause you hardly see that..and the director of the movie did a good job but putting those weird fast crazy videography...which spiced up the movie!..


Overall- easily burned...just a few adjustments to the tv and stereo and it should be fine... i would still download another version if a better one comes out

Went and saw this in the theaters on opening night.

Not exactly the best quality release, but its very watchable.
Video is a little cropped, but you can see the subtitles and understand whats going on, so I give it a 7.
Audio has a slight hiss, but is clear, and good enough, 7.
Movie was excellent, 9.

sucks

Just Checked this out and well dunno why its on svcd should just on vcd and well disc 2 half way became very very blocky picture chopped up to the point i had to stop watching it and well now im going to actually see it in the theather NUked This Release please Drop the BIg H On it

Video is pretty typical considering the source.
Audio is actually not so bad. The movie has some good action in the last half of the film. Credits are cut. Don't know why, but I like to see them stay intact. Got to agree with the flock on this one...
Took some big hairy balls to release this on SVCD.
