This is the low quality version of the release on torrentleech and newsgroups. Wait for someone who knows WTF they are doing and can do better then a one click app and 2000k video bitrate.

Posted by Lipservice on 10-26-2006 05:51 AM:

I snagged 1 rar and watched it. No thanks. Why in the hell didn't they just release it as a DVD9 if they don't know how to do it right? At least the rest of us could have made our own decision on how to rip it.

Posted by LakersFan on 10-26-2006 07:23 AM:

I'm agree. I'm happy with a DVD9 and rebuilding it myself. That would be so much better than a 1-click app on a movie of this length. I know the saying says that beggars can't be choosers., but I ain't beggin for a crap release.


Posted by tunit on 10-26-2006 10:30 AM:

Thumbs down

unfortunately its the best only one yet will have to do till scene kicks one out


Posted by aj2703 on 10-26-2006 10:52 AM:

I would on the whole agree. Although if you do watch it, it's not too bad. Kids never moved for 2 1/2 hours while watching it.

Video 6 - Some pixaliation in parts of the movie + a Jerky couple of minutes around the 52 minute mark.

Audio 8 - Sounded fine to me.
Movie 8 - Better then the last one.


Posted by citreon on 10-26-2006 12:07 PM:

Well I was desperate for something to watch, I watched this on a v large projector based system with 5.1. It was acceptable, yes I know it could be better but better was not available. Some pixelisation evident at two points in the movie.

Posted by brave1200 on 10-26-2006 01:04 PM:

It's just fine!

What are you guys complaining about?
This release is 6 weeks before retail, and it looks great!

Keep in mind this is a DVD5, and NOT a DVD9, so if you expect better quality on a 2½hr movie, I suggest waiting for a DVD9, or even BUYING the retail DVD when it comes out (yes, some movies ARE worth buying).

These comments remind me of the DVDscr release of King Kong, which I felt was also great quality for a 3hr movie, yet people could only complain over a low bitrate! Sorry, I'm going off-topic here.

Anyways, props to MORPHiNE.
Never heard of 'em, but a damn fine job on this release.

A real shame...
If they had access to the DVD9, then why not post that?
It would've been a thankful post - but as it is, it looks like they DVDshrink'ed it.
Oh well.......
This is not a keeper, unless you're not too bothered about picture quality & loads of big square pixels are your 'thing'!
On the plus side, this release does have ALL 4 language tracks - English, spanish, directors commentary & another language that im not too sure about. (if you can call that a 'plus')

Posted by jimilarue on 10-26-2006 03:58 PM:

it looks pretty bad on vlc previewing it....HOWEVER on my LCD i had no problem with the picture or sound.

Thanks for the video, very nice and free.


Posted by ukiron on 10-26-2006 04:20 PM:

yes it does go ropey on 52 mins for what 2 secs and its more like a v good xvid than a dvdr. but overall not as bad as some make out.

Dvdshrink or whatever, if you don't do it right it doesn't matter.

Any 2hr plus release is going to suffer. Be that as it may what should have happened is to cut the directors commentary, and all non-english audio...DOH! could have used the extra 950mb for the movie.

Besides I don't think they Dvdshrinked it, because the menu item's are jacked. That sounds like a hand job...pun intended

Overall the quality is very good, pixelatoin and audio sync issues aside!

I think the majority of us are not complaining, just commenting. I do appreciate a groups attempt at a release (especially this far in advance), however there are a handful of us who feel they could have done a better job. Please don't mistake my comments for ungratefulness.

I don't know why, when it comes to these big movies. They don't just releas the DVD 9. The disks used to be expensive, but not anymore. Granted it is a much larger download, but who cares when it comes to these blockbuster movies.

LOL... MORPHiNE didnt do anything but change the release name from the TL (Torrent Leech) release. Plus about 1.4 GB of crap was kept that could have went towards the movie. This was a one click job and a bad one at that.


Posted by 1Bullet on 10-27-2006 08:14 AM:

Hey its free, but strip the crap out and its only 2.8GB,there was lots of room for quality. A dvd9 or movie only would have been a better choise of rip. Audio scores low causes thereis to many,again sacrificing video quality.

Posted by magnifor on 10-27-2006 01:54 PM:

They didn't remove the extra's and stuff. The bitrate is to low. And indeed, this is from a p2p release. I see this release not as a official scene release.

A better and real scene release will appear soon I think.

Quality DL blanks (ie: Verbatim) are still relatively expensive compared to single-layer, especially if a printable surface is preferred. The cheaper DL brands aren't worth using.

yeah but we're not saying they should release dvd9 for every single movie. just these hugh blockbusters in full dvd9 every once in a while would be nice. whats a buck or two once a month or so?

btw, DL is hella cheap these days, last batch i bought (verbatim) was 8.99 for 10 after rebate

anyway like many have said this rls is crap.

If a DVD9 were released, at least a proper ripping group could have made a good DVD5 out of it. Plus the people who wanted to keep it as DVD9, could have burned a copy as well.

At this point, I'm not a HUGE fan of DVD9, but if someone doesn't know how to rip a movie, especially stuff as simple as removing the extra audio (800mb), then they should just do a full rip.

Then it woudn't be a scene release is why. Every release you read about here comes from a DVD9 source if you think about it.

The scene requires it to be a rip with menus, using cce, in a downloadable format DVD5.


Posted by wanksock on 10-28-2006 02:30 AM:

the problem isnt with morphines ripping ability, it is with the fact that they have no source other than torrent sites.
this has been floating around for a few days now.... all they did was leech it, rename it and release it.

Ya doesnt look much better then a Divx file its pretty much junk for a dvd

Ok, sorry, my mistake. I didn't know it was stolen from a TL release.

Given that they could've kept JUST English 5.1, you're right, they could've used that extra space for a higher bitrate.

Yep - crashes on Disney Logo

Here is how to solve it -- When logo appears press TITLE MENU on the DVD remote, this will get you to the main title screen -- Don't press play as it will crash again.

Goto SCENE SELECTION and press 1 and you can start watching the film - this works fine on all 4 of my DVD players.


Posted by frak on 10-29-2006 08:10 AM:

watched this tonight on the tv (57")

video is fine for a dvd5 and a movie of this length, not sure what everyone is complaining about. There is a 1/2 sec frame breakup at 52m:11~ into it, but bfd.

great release for a pre-retail.

sure, if they did a cce 5 pass it might look a hair better, but the end of the day, a 2.5hr movie with a lot of action is going to have some loss going to dvd5 regardless of what you use to re-encode it. I personally stopped using cce a while ago.. the quality diff between it and dvd2one vs. the effort and time required anit worth it 95% of the time.

v:8.5
a:9
m:10


Posted by apvm on 10-29-2006 02:25 PM:

Video is alright but can be better and is watchable with my 1080i upconvert DVD player and 42" HDTV, if not upconvert to 1080i, the video is as other people said quite bad compare to high passes CCE stuff or original stuff but it is still better than VHS.

V: 6.5 (if upconverted)
A: 10
M: 8

Overall not a bad pre release, only downside is the skip that mentioned in previous post. As for the crash at logo, press play again if you are watching it on standalone, if WMP with computer, manually goto the chapter that contain the movie.

I think if you like the movie so much, buy the real thing when it comes out and not to complaint for free stuff.


Posted by Viper400 on 10-29-2006 09:19 PM:

Okay, I downloaded and burned to dvd. Watched on my 55" Sony. Here are my comments;

01) Crashes on Disney Logo, I just pressed play again and it worked fine.

02) I would have gotten rid of all the other languages but for the 5.1 English

03) It is a bit pixely throughout the movie. I am sure someone will make it better.

04) Very grateful for this group at least releasing it. The quality is better than what else is out there. (Not a big telecine fan due to the lack of common standards between films. One can be great, the other pure garbage)

05) This is a movie to buy no matter what, so I can deal with a little pixel problem now, until the retail is released to buy.


Posted by ntscuser on 10-31-2006 03:32 AM:

it sounds like a multi-angle issue to me? I had it with Chicken Little (the DVD-9, not the scene release). That froze on the logo on some players, but not on others. In the end I had to strip the angles and practically reconstruct the disc with IFOedit. The end result ws superb but if I'd known how much work was involved I would never have started.

no multi angle issue on this release...just plain bad release by using an 1click proggy
