utterly absurd rls,
should be .internal.

here's snapshots of why its nuked:

http://img158.exs.cx/img158/2684/se...enerhafvcdv.jpg

1. its most likely stolen source as both are have the exact same top/bottom/left/right crop area, almost down to the millimeter.
2. taking the same source and reencoding it to a slightly better quality is never allowed, otherwise there would be a dozen rls for every TS.SVCD and screener.
3. i watched the ~4min mark in the audio of hafvcd's rls as mentioned on the other thread....didnt notice any audio freeze problems
4. as for the actual quality....Pv's seems brighter, and less grainy, and sound seems bigger, but that just bcz its louder. but hafvcd's seems sharper when looking close-in; tho haf's grainy-ness is worse in pv's
5. HafVCD = Video: MPEG-1 ~1.1 Mpbs Audio: MPEG 2.0 223 Kbps
6. -Pv = Video: MPEG-2 ~2.4 Mpbs Audio: MPEG 2.0 223 Kbps

How bout...the better the quality, the merrier

i must agree, its not that much better than the other one,
even with there so called fancey gizmo.

i for one think its verry strange that a grp
should be so open about there workings.
why tell us about the TXLR they got
from god knows where, if at all they have one.
you wanna inpress ?
then let your releaces speak for themselves.
nobody needs to know what you got
for christmass.


too much info = irresponsible or Bull

its a shame that you guys put them down so easy. If you read the nfo, and have apreciation for advances in technology, you would apreciate the people at Pv trying to inovate shit and try something new. Pv, thanks for the experimentation. I like to see groups trying new things.

gracias.

the trend started with the SVCD.TS-CTP everyone always called them dupes of VCD.TS but eventually it became an accepted pratice that SVCD.TS doesn't dupe VCD.TS Like someone said earlier I think they are just trying to raise scene standards for VHS Screeners, which if the quality of the tape warrants it I think it is acceptable, I think SVCD.Screener should be treated the same as SVCD.TS nuke it if it sucks otherwise be thankful for the release. This is by far the best release of this flick out. picture and audio are right on.

8/9/movie grows on ya.. ;-)

But we should stop bashing groups for trying to bring us quality releases. I am sure if it doesn't work out they will stop or if your siteop doesn't think they belong then they won't be on your site taking up HDD space or wasting BW. So kudos to Pv for bringing about another innovation. Look forward to future SVCD.Screener-Pv

::EDIT:: checked spelling and fixed mistakes i saw ;-)

not much better

Well it is better than hafvcd's, and I prolly woulda grabbed this.
But it's really not that much better, and for them to say haf's was pure shit. LOL! haf has been around a long time, and has brought us way more releases than they prolly ever will. Why they would bash a good "old" group is beyond me. When their quality wasnt much better.
8/8/movie is pure shit =P

finally, a group that understands how I think!

I can't stand VCD Screeners, that ruins the whole purpose of releasing it in my opinion. VCD is generally too pixelated and just not good overall. Why release a Telesync (cammed in a theater) in SVCD when the Screener is much better quality yet suffice it to VCD ?

well, keep em coming PV! It's about time SVCD Screeners come along.

Downloaded the first few rars, and I'd say

8.5/9/?

Video down points for the scrollers, but hey, doesn't bother me!

if anyone thinks a member of a top site takes the time to post on the vcdquality boards.. you are out of ya mind.. If im wrong then the scene really is going down the tubes


and nuked or not everyhing spreads round the "sub-top" sites in a heatbeat anyways.. who gives a crap if its nuked or not. If you want it grab it. the word "top-site" is getting more meaning less as time pass's.


[EDIT:: Thanks for imparting some of your wisdom oh wise one, but next time rate the release (in other words follow the very simple rules) or I'll stab you in the eyes - Neversoft]

And to clarify, when i say the 'scenes opinion' i am refering to those who are members of a groups counsil, are a 'nuker' for topsites/presite or infact run them, and so on.

There is a very simple reason that VHS screeners are not generally encoded to anything other than VCD, that is because the resolution of a VHS is less than that of an SVCD. Enlarging from such a source isn't the greatest idea. S-VHS on the other hand has a higher resolution, and given the proper capturing and encoding technique's im sure would produce quite a nice SVCD vhs screener.

FYI, Centropy's SVCD TS's were rarely nuked. The reason for this was largely due to timing. There first svcd ts release was of a film not yet availible, the reasons were explained properly in the nfo, and they were are long standing and highly 'respected' group. And of corse, the quiality difference was infact quite substancial.

Personally i dont think a VHS screener should be encoded to SVCD, because the majority of VHS screener tapes are not of the best quality, or are a low generation, to begin with.

As for this release, i have only viewed the sample but it a little improvement over the HafVCD release, although the colors are not so great.

If they had put a stop to the CD-R bullshit and shown some balls with a dvd-r image I may have been a little more impressed.
WTF is up with putting things on CD-R still? 25p for a Ritek blank now and £40 for a dvd burner...scene is looking backwards right now I can;t believe it hasn't moved on.
BTW a dvd-r doesn't have to be full I would welcome 2gb image over three cd sVCD releases anytime!!!!!!!

You are infact quite wrong, Yoda. Excuse my sarcasm. Just because a person may be involved and/or contribute more closely in the 'scene', does not make them any different than the rest of the world. Are you forgetting where it all began? ahem, BBS.

Groups already have and will continue to pre telecine and dvd scr releases on dvdr, i have no problem with this as the sources are quite capable of producing quality of a level expected from a dvd image. However i do not think at this time any other types should be pre'd into the dvdr section. First of all a VCD cam/ts/vhs scr have low resolution and substandard audio streams... such a task as converting sources to dvd compliant mpeg2 does not produce good enough results to be worth the extra effort.
SVCD telesync are released that way due to the fact that they do have a higher resolution and with a decent dts or direct source soundtrack which can produce a quite improved quality standard by using SVCD instead of VCD, although i do think sometimes a group fails to use there discretion and they release an SVCD ts that would have looked better as a VCD.

You should also take note that the majority of ts/cam releases are not capped by the group themself, they do infact come from asian silvers, these can often be of such low quality that they are unwatchable as even a vcd or svcd. Why push such junk into the dvdr section too.

Its funny watching you people talk about ''the scene'' as if you know fuck all about it



''the majority of the scene'' who th heck do you think you are dude? the scene stands for a collection of many people, in many differant parts of the world.

stop talking out of your ass. just because your one colo site nuked some crap, doesnt mean it represents ''the scene'' - you need to pull your head out of your ass and stop trying to boost your ego by pretending you know what the fuck your on about.


as for VHS -> SVCD - one of the greatest points made are on the fact that VHS Has a smaller resolution then SVCD, and increasing a video's res will lead to pixelation no matter how you slice it..

Ive been wanting VHS screeners on SVCD for ages.

VHS does have a lower resolution than SVCD, but i personally have done some decent VHS to SVCD conversions myself and they look a lot better than the VCD version.
As ^Om3n said, VHS sources can be low quality and quite a noisy source, so VCD's 1150 CBR isnt nearly adequate for it, while SVCD is too hig res, CVCD is good for VHS, but not all DVD players support it, although it is great for authoring straight to DVD.
The best methods are Non-Standard systems like CVCD and a VBR VCD, which im personally keen on, but aren't likely to happen.
This looks better than the VCD version and most other VCD screeners so im all for it, if done properly.

8/7/3

Actualy the best reolution to capture vhs at is 640x480(which svcd is basicaly "stretched" from)Most think that capping at 352x240 at 29.967fps . Yeah, right. You capture with that resolution and you get a video that looks like shit. So was every body wrogn about the vhs resolution? No, they were inaccurate. The VHS video works with the interlaced system (not progressive), which means it draws every frame twice on the screen. In fact, every frame of an interlaced video is divided in two fields (the reason for this is a long story that comes from the first TV sets. Those two fields mean that every frame carries much more than just 240 or 288 lines of information. If you capture at 352x240 you will in turn be skipping every second field, which results in only half of the resolution.
If you want your capture to look just like the VHS source (, capture at 640x480 at 29.967fps then deinterlace it. Any body who does this for them selves can eaisly tell the diffrence between the two.
(sorry forgot to rate)
8/8/2(suck ass movie)

Good quality rip. But its just my opinion, THOSE ARE THE LONGEST BW SCNES, AND MOST NUMEROUS, ive ever seen.. PLus that scrollin of the no copy mid center.. VERY INTRUSIVE!!... but not bad.. watch on your pc, dont burn it. or wait for better copy.

HOLY FUCK, what a big fat flame fest this post has been.. all you people seem to know the scene and all its rules but you simply forgot to follow the vcdquality rules (post the release quality etc etc..) no flaming yada yada yada.... regardless... the scene rules dont really matter (well they do) but i mean even if a group releases something and it gets nuked people you will still be able to get a copy, maybe not as wide spread but there will be copies floating around. anyways on with the movie:

7.1/7.1/2.2 - imo twas better than haf

p.s. FUCK THE POLICE

p.p.s if its the same amount of information to download and its better then??????

~Peace

Who gives a shit about what's scene and not scene, my main concern is that there is now one extra quality release to be distributed, therefore making it easier for myself to leech the movie from somewhere or another. Stop bitching and over-analyzing and be thankful that you are able to access free stuff.
