Nice!!

9/9/? (sample)


The max bitrate thing doesn't bother me at all because my standalone can play it without a hitch (and it looks freaking amazing)

I've been dying to see this one....everyone has been telling me it's hysterical.....

...I actually just got two tickets to see this in the mail but I think this is more of a stay at home date flick.

Saw this in the theatres, good stuff.

From Sample;

8/9/9

JPG doesn't do it justice.

:: Read the rules -K::

Based on sample

8/9/?

what ive seen of the sample 8/9/?

Field report

*Nuked for 9800k max bitrate.

This is a CAPture not a Rip (obvious from the DVD player splash screen at the start)

AfterBurning- the timeline craps out @ around 55:00 on both discs. Still plays beyond the 55 min mark, just no skipping/searching.
Looks like the whole film is there.
Quality is a bit better than vhs/vcd - but this being a conversation film, there's not much to miss.

And yes it is nuked.

DJ the reason the DVDR is nuke is because of bad res. 704 x 480. Neither of these nukes really affect me. I play my movies thru my Xbox with XBMC. Anyway based on the sample:


V 9
A 9
M ?

Grabbing this. The max bitrate has never been a problem with my standalone.

7\10\? From a few rars. Same quality as a lot of the other screeners.

same as sport never been a problem to me so yep im getting also, viewed sample

8/9/?

good flick max bit rate no prob movie is funny 8/8/7

just watched the entire movie. and considering it's nuked description and complaints about max bitrate, the movie still played on my cheap Desay-brand DVD player.

jesus, to the whiners: just re-encode it!

8.75/9/9

movie was funny. but don't waste $15 on it in the movies. yeah, thats right. movie tickets are $15 here in NY, so stop complaining about free stuff!

After watchin a few rars:

Video looks very nice....colors are clean & crisp. Audio seems spot on. Of course, all of this is expected from a screener. Really looking forward to watchin this one in full since I hear nothing but good things. Thanx VideoCD for a sweet release....even if it is nuked.....max bitrate never bothered my player.
Rating : 8/9/dunno yet

[will update when i finish the flick]

Update: Movie's a 7.5 (very good movie, but don't believe all the hype or you'll end up expecting too much....and probably being disappointed.)
No distracting B & W scenes. No annoying watermarks. Just a coupla "Property of Fox. Do not copy. Yada yada yada..." No big deal.

Awesome release. Highly recommended.

Even though this is a decent quality rip. I just prefered the DVDR that SCREAM put out, but dont forget to get the REPACKED one. And just when i thought Academy DVDSCR Season was ending this and Oceans 12 came out. Big props to all groups on these fine releases.


8/9/8.5 Movie is excellent!!

9.9.5

no problems here

Good video/audio ...movie was overated in my opinion.

Have yet to fully download this, but I like the quality and don't see completely why it's nuke. The picture is clear and I've waited awhile for this release. Thanks guys, the sound is great also.

First off, Thanks for the great release. The quality on this looks and sounds great. As for the bitrate. I wasnt sure if my standalone would handle it so I just used a freeware program called "DVD Patcher" and changed the bitrate like I did on a few other releases that were nuked for too high a bitrate. Anyway for the ratings.

V\9 A\10 M\8

Very nice VideoCD, was starting to think you's were on holiday. The max bittrate aint a prob. Very nice been waiting on this rls.
8/8/8

Video 8

Audio 9.5

Movie 7

Thx Guys

hmm the video seemed blury on my standalone but the audio was a bit iffy too

it plays fine on my pc though but my standalone ( paciffic1200) seems to be struggleing with it a bit and they play almost anything you throw in them

7/8/ not watching ime grabbing xvid for my xbox instead

8/9/8

as Monster69 said, this is a dvd cap, not a dvd rip, so it's sort of mislabeled, in addition to the nonconformant bitrate. i have no idea why anyone would cap a dvd.

a bit blurry, but not bad. very watchable. i assume this is because of the extra digital -> analog -> digital conversion required when capping.

should have been internaled. not a bad release by any means, but not up to the standards we've come to expect from videocd.

no issues with bitrate on my memorex or mustek players.

good lord, who ever is doing the "nuking" needs to end
themselves. go nuke something from POT where the
background hiss is louder than the dialog.

anyhow, it played back perfectly on my stand alone dvd player.
video quality was good and audio was perfect.

movie was pretty good, not as good as all the hype, but
entertaining.

video: 8.5
audio: 10
movie: 8

checkout this article: http://www.mpeg-playcenter.com/kiss...theres_more.htm

this year the MPAA paid a company called Kiss to make special encrypted DVD players, they sent the dvd players & screeners to the oscar judges. considering the video is rather blocky, and there is the "play" message at the beginning, this is most likely a capture from the s-video output.

video - 6 - what can i say, blocky in flat colored scenes (like walls, the sky, etc)... otherwise sharp

audio - 10 - perfect transfer, probably a direct digital capture

movie - 9 - one of the best movies of 2004

MUCH MUCH thanks to the folks who are willing to offer us these rips, they are great quality... far better than anything out.

Good movie works fine!!

I just watched the full release on my Apex DVD. Very good screener only once did the FOX message appear. Video was good audio was great and the movie was good.

I have no idea why anyone would nuke this as it was extremenly watchable!!

Sat down with the family/neighbors to watch this one. After the first half of the movie there was only 2 left watching, everyone else left. Second half I had to fast forward most of it because the movie was so boring to me, my family, and the neighbors. We wanted to watch it because it was filmed in the town we live in and heard from others it was really good (maybe to the older/wine tasting crowd). I thought nothing would beat Alexander as worst movie of the year IMO, but this one beat it by far.

8/9/1

You don't need to know anything about wine to enjoy this film. Quite frankly I couldn't know less about the stuff, but I really enjoyed it.

Its about a man trying to get over his ex wife and coming to terms with the fact that his life won't turn out the way he wanted. While at the same time having to cope with his chaotic friend. Its very sombre at times and sometimes slow moving. However IMO the slow parts mirror the main characters state of mind, which helps the viewer really understand him. The film also has some very funny moments and some quite beautiful moments too. Its very intelligently written and the acting is top notch (especially Paul Giamatti who is absolutely outstanding as the main character Miles).

I can understand how someone could find the movie boring if its not the kind of film thier looking for. But anyone who actually thinks its a bad movie just hasn't given it a chance IMO.

Video - 8
Audio - 9
Movie - 8

The reason video gets an 8 is simply because of the max bitrate. Which seemed to cause some minor problems when playing the movie on my PC. Though it did actually play in the end and I'd think it will be fine on a DVD player.
