Looking at the dvdr its definataly interleaved with inifinifilm with directors cut version. Subtrack is there but no subs. I assumed they were probably out of sync due to the 2 versions of the film being together in one vobset, so they wiped it.

Definatly untouched video and menu.

Disc is wiped of everything and jumps straight to the menu.

Works good, I'm gonna purchace when its available for the extras.

2nd best movie this year next to Dawn Of The Dead (just my opinion)...

Bah...been hearing nukes for this, but the nfo states they stripped 'em and i'm gonna have to believe that..great movie, great quality, great sound

call me crazy but.. 10/10/10 - i loved the movie

I heard Theatrical Version has a total different Ending than DC... so it's not just more scenes but different scenes. Pity it's ripped.

P.S.: Original had subs

yep this dc does have a different ending from the theatre version. also this does look like to me the real retail version of the movie. i guess i have to buy this to get both version of the movie on july 6

Correct, retail has theatrical and director's cut. this release they cut out the theatrical (when you press play there's an option to choose which you want to play, can only pick director's cut).

Director's cut has a totally different ending which is very over the top and not as great imho.

It's a shame. I'd figured the movie would branch off to the new scenes??? e.g. Terminator 2 style. or is it actually two complete versions of the movie on the same disc (sounds unlikely). too bad, hope someones releases a better rip.

It's technically possible to rip both version on one disc if it is seamless branching, also using CCE as an encoder. I usually don't care about it when the DC version just has additional scenes but in this care it has different scenes and a total different ending.

Fantastic DVDR and Audio Commentary and Directors cut only.. I'll take it.. Lose the new ending though.. bah.....



Great Job ALLiANCE!!!


9.5/9.5/9

Been having problems with my apex lately i dunno but anyways this release is pretty good but it got stripped of everything basically the menu is untouched but all the extras are rapped. like stated about no subs at all but they do have the DC audio which is kind of cool. It sucks that it doesn't have the other ending of the movie but oh well.

As for the ratings

10/10/8

Pretty damn good movie

well thats bad isnt it, I didnt like the fact the option for Directors Cut or Theaterical comes up why didnt they remove that?????


Otherwise very good, but thats really annoying me now I feel as though ive missed something important.



Why couldnt they keep both???
is it cuz retail has got both full versions of each movies on it???


its must be like full DVD-9 !!!

I had to register just to let you guys know....

if you look at the menu screens in menuedit you will notice that the screen you would see after the directors/theatrical version screen if you selected theatrical (which you can't get to because the button was diabled) flashes a screen that says turn over the disc for theatrical version... this implies that it was a DVD9 flipper with directors on one side and theatrical on the other.

Which makes me says why did thestudio author like this and not just make it seamless branched like every other DVD that does this.

9/10 - video
9/10 - sound
8/10 - movie

DVD18, now that's rare if true

Still, in that case some grp should release theatrical version as well.

yes, video freak is right. I found a review on this DVD stating it's a DVD14.

Meaning the DC Version is on a DVD9 side and the Theatrical Version is a DVD5 side. Well in that case it's easy for some group to pre the DVD5 side too. Maybe as internal or something.

http://www.dvdfile.com/software/rev...rflyeffect.html

I've waited and waited to see this movie until the DVD came out, but now it's only the directors cut, and not the theatrical cut. Why would a group rip the Directors Cut and not label it as such. Should be The.Butterfly.Effect.Directors.Cut.NTSC.DVDR-ALLiANCE or something to that effect.

From the .nfo, the video wasn't touched, which is hard to believe being as the director's cut has most of the extras, making it a dvd9 ... this being said, with most dvd9's, they don't put in that many extras, the video vobs are normally over 4.5 gigs, they are closer to like 6gigs, which would mean a small CCE downsample. add the menu back in and sync the subs. Not sure which set of rules these guys are going by, but the rips are supposed to keep all subtitles that the Original DVD has, then they can cut DTS, if they want, to keep the 5.1 and 2.0/Directors Commentary. They did the audio right, but they should have maybe done a "COMPLETE" release of this. Like DISC1/DISC2, that would have been spectacular for a movie like this (from what I've read anyway, I've yet to sit down and watch it). That would make all people happy for the most part, for those who want the COMPLETE dvd, for those who wanted to see the Director's Cut, and for those who never (or want to see again) the Theatrical Version.

Just opinions, I hope a group does a COMPLETE release, those are the DVDs that I like to watch

/end rant

yeah pissed me off after watching this and noticed they even changed the ending. I mean nothing wrong with director's cut but don't cut the ending out ..so this is also a director's cut and an alternate ending attached to it. Man I was like what? That didn't happen. But overall the quality is nice. Shitty menu's for such a great movie though.

Excellent movie. Nice to see the DC the alternate ending felt more forced than the Theatrical version because they had to include the fortune teller scene. Overall though

Vid = 9.5
Audio = 9
film = 9.5

bastards FOR cutting the threatrical ending..

i liked that ending specially wid the oasis music over it and the way the film ended..

now they put this gay ass ending in it..
if i had knwn that i wouldnt have bothered to d/l it

on the plus side quality is pretty good

but god damn they fucked the ending

The.Butterfly.Effect.THEATRICAL.INTERNAL.NTSC.DVDr-ALLiANCE

I got this, and I must say, I liked the DC version better, but both were fun to watch.

Is it just my stand-alone DVD player (Philips 624) or is anyone else getting the director's comment audio track as the default track?

Was mucking about with the disc in my player (Samsung S225) - pressing the menu key during the film fired open a completely NEW menu to the one that came up when the disc was originally inserted - I have to say it is a lot better than the virtually still screen that popped up at the start. Why are there 2? Why is the superior one not default.

This also happened when using PowerDVD on the PC!
