It'll get nuked 'cause it's size is too big for a single cd release.

Chops
(not saying I agree though)

Posted by OSH on 05-12-2008 10:59 AM:

^^^ What are you talking about? It fits fine on a single disc.

It's 697 and with sample 702

You could put both on a disc no problem. You may wanna recheck your stuff.

Posted by Red_Tides99 on 05-12-2008 12:42 PM:

V - 9
A - 1
M - 8

Yeah I give it a 1 on the audio because one of the stereo channels is inverted and needs to be fixed manually unless you enjoy getting a migraine from listening to audio that's constantly trying to cancel itself out in your brain.

Posted by DaMoneyFan on 05-12-2008 02:37 PM:

We watched it last night....it was fine! Video was great and Audio was fine..not sure what everyone is bitching about....damn what more you want!!!

Video - 10
AUdio - 8
MOvie - 8 I already the knew outcome..since i remember when it happened.

Posted by MadGeordie on 05-12-2008 03:08 PM:

Video : 8.5
Audio : 6.5 ' after fix ' 9
Movie : N/A ...

Typical R5 quality here boys 'n girls ... just a shame they didn't pay a little more attention to the audio and gave it a bit more punch before knocking out the release ... never the less ... it's still more than watchable the way it is ...

*Edit* ...
I ripped the audio with VirtualDub then inverted in Sound Forge before encoding ...

Once done ... roberts your mothers brother ...

thanks go out to denmat for the tip ...

Opp

I was looking at the download size not the extracted file size ... my bad

Chops

Posted by dr.beat on 05-12-2008 06:07 PM:

Picture quality is very good. I'll give the audio a 6 since I heard it through a Klipsch system which probably amplified the bad audio qualities. Overall a good movie.

Posted by rajnikant on 05-12-2008 10:35 PM:

Looked Nice Release

8
8.5
9.5

Posted by icefaang on 05-12-2008 10:45 PM:

V: 9 (virtually perfect)
A: 8 (VERY unfair to rate this at 1 for an inverted channel, it's easily fixed by anyone with some encoding knowledge. You would rate it higher than 1 if it was CAM with audience noises, BUT YOU CAN'T FIX THAT AT ALL, you can fix this in less than an hour easily)
M: 7 (Was a bit predictable, but fairly entertaining, and the Monty Hall problem had me and my father arguing for hours )

It's 66.667% It's true :P

Posted by magicbud on 05-12-2008 11:02 PM:

Thought i'd better post here today as some people say the audio is bad and some say its good. I tested the film on my computer and it sounds like a record playing backwards and I cant make out anything whats said and i'd give the audio a 1.
On my neighbours pc the sound is great and i'd give it an 8. Normally i'd think it was my computer thats the problem but other people on here have the same problem and there was even a guy earlier saying hes never coming back here because of it.
Has anyone any idea what could cause this or how to fix it?
Gonna try it on disk later but would still like to know what might be the prob
Video 8
Audeo 1 or 8 depending where it's played
movie not seen yet as neighbour gone out and dont know how to fix it on my pc.
ps. I use vlc so shouldn't be a codec prob
Cheers

indeed it has 1 inverted audio channel, and needs fixing, but by giving this a 1 you are not particularly helping anyone who comes here looking for direction and ratings for releases.
This needs to be fixed, not the hardest thing to do but none the less still the release should have been done properly. (to fix get yourself an audio editing program, im using cooledit pro. Extract wave from avi using virtualdub import into cooledit pro, select either channel and under edit select invert. Save, and join your fixed wav file to original avi using virtualdub)

Anyway the rating of this audio fixed is a good 9, for line. its excellent.

V = 9
A = 3 (as it stands)
A = 9 (fixed by inverting one of the stereo channels)
M = ? (looking forward to it)

I'm helping weigh the ratings by giving it a 1 vs. those who will give it a 8 or 9 because they cannot fathom what is wrong with the audio.

PUKKA is a great release group, but they have had this same exact issue for over 2 years now on many of their R5 releases. I know how to fix this issue and it takes less than 10 min to do so, but there is no excuse why they cannot do this themselves before putting it out there.

As you said when the audio FIXED it's deserving of a 8 rating, but as it's released it's no better than a 1 because I cannot personally listen to the inverted audio channel without getting a massive headache.

So FIXED (by me) I would rate:
V - 9
A - 8
M - 8

But as it's released:
V - 9
A - 1
M - 8

And I'm not going to change my opinion on that.

Posted by moviefann on 05-13-2008 03:38 AM:

v-8
a-3 (with fix 7)
m-8--Very enjoyable

What I did to fix the sound problem (very fast), I used Virtual Dub, I selected under Video, --> Direct Stream Copy, then under Audio --> compression, I selected the right channel, which then made it sound normal.
The only downside was that the file turned out to be 1.2 gb, but whatever...and the sound now sounds somewhat normal (btw, I didn't want to compress it)....some may view taking 1 channel as 'lazy' or whatever,...it works...

Posted by rajnikant on 05-13-2008 06:20 AM:

I dont know but I am not seeing big problems with audio, I dont know why you guys do?

Posted by Rentakill on 05-13-2008 08:19 AM:

V-9
A-7
M-8

I found this movie to be very good, the audio wasnt that bad..

Posted by FrodoBagginz on 05-13-2008 09:44 AM:

Video: 9
Audio: 8

If you plan on watching this on your PC, there is a simple fix that only takes a few seconds.

Open VLC media player and open the movie. Right click and go down to Audio Device and choose Mono. The audio is fixed.

Only real noticeable audio problem I saw was at the beginning for a few seconds...Other than that good release

Posted by sh0ckwAv3 on 05-13-2008 05:29 PM:

@denmat
Can you pls fill me in on the details of extracting the avi? Should I select compression or leave it uncompressed? The wav file is over 1.3 GB when uncompressed.
I'm kinda new when it comes to editing avi would be glad if you can specify the methods. Tnx

Posted by Red_Tides99 on 05-13-2008 11:11 PM:

1. Open movie using Virtual Dub
2. Under Audio select FULL processing mode.
3. Under FILE select SAVE WAV and save to desktop.
4. Open the WAV with an audio editing program (Audacity is free) I used Adobe Audition.
5. Select ONE of the channels and choose to INVERT (I always choose LEFT)
6. SAVE the Audio file as an vbr .mp3 (Adobe Audition does this, Audacity may also)
7. USE AVI-Mux to remux the .mp3 audio back to into the video (de-select default audio).
8. Play the movie with audio that does not sound like shit. (subjective of course)

10min fix.

Posted by Son_of_Thunder on 05-15-2008 07:21 AM:

Great quality on the video, it's too bad I had to fix the audio (If they had fixed it before the release it would have saved a lot of people time or headaches)

V: 8
A: 4 before fix, 7 after (still a bit of noise and no audio for creds)
M: 7

Posted by koodo on 05-15-2008 04:35 PM:

Finally got around to this one. PUKKA quality becoming renown. Lot of chatter about audio but I have no problems with it. Good movie.

9/8.5/7.5

Posted by Debby on 05-15-2008 06:18 PM:

9/7.5(fixed)/8

Red_Tides99 - I busted my brain trying to figure out what's wrong with the audio - many thanks mate for sorting this out...

Great movie, Grast video quality, sound is still lifeless after the fix, but its meaningless for that type of movie so you won't care.

Posted by pomh on 05-16-2008 06:06 AM:

first off I'll say that this release as a whole was very good, BUT, the first 36 seconds of the movie on this release has no audio. second off, the audio was kind of slim, third off, the audio ended early at the end of the release, during the first 3 seconds of the credits, and fourth and most important, this release is 1.85:1 widescreen but the credits were shown in 2.35:1 widescreen so not sure if this has been overcropped somehow by someone for some reason... not sure, though the movie was very good...

Posted by enXian on 05-17-2008 04:52 AM:

V.- 9
A.- 6.5
M.- 7.5

im tired of movies with boys living the rich live.

Posted by wd160 on 05-17-2008 05:12 AM:

I guess the sound issue is what happens when you rush the release. I thought Pukka would have avoided these things.

8/5/8
