Just checked sample...Picture is pretty good for a regular TS
sound is where it could be a lot better, it feels saturated, to loud
movie??

6/5/?

if you can't wait to see this, it's very watchable
Thanx Eso.....

The video is pretty clear for an early release. Props to USM and est for the quick releses. This one is half decent. I may watch. The sound is just a bit hollow. It seemed a little croped but the colors were right. With all the gun shots in the sample it made it sound worse

Video quality is alright, Sound a bit hollowish, but will work for me until a new one. Nice Job ESO. =]
Now that I've seen more than just the sample i'd give it a 6/5/7

Sound is kinda hollow, as some have pointed out. The video is actually okay, reminds me of the Dreamcatcher TS, and some other ones. 6.5/4.5/2

Posted by Rezneck on 07-27-2003 12:33 PM:

I find this a great release....Ive always loved eso's work.
The video is sweet and audio is a tad bit hollow but no biggie.
At only 552mb per disk you can't go wrong.

7/6/7

Posted by alpha_code on 07-27-2003 02:15 PM:

Video: good.. nice pic and easy on the eye

Audio: good quality audio throughout

Movie: Kids (and big kids) will love it

7|7|8

Posted by timerx on 07-27-2003 02:18 PM:

Video is as a regualr TS so it's watchabel.
Sound, could be MUTCH beter.
Movie: Dunno haven't seen it yet, waiting för Nox or Centropy to rel one

7/5/?

Posted by Cory on 07-27-2003 02:38 PM:

Video: 7, seems pretty decent...I didn't notice anything wrong with it that would make it unwatchable.

Audio: 4

Edit: After burning cd1 and trying to watch it, I couldn't bare, I shut it off after about 10 minutes...the audio is too bad and its hard to understand what is going on. Video is good on this release...the audio kills it though.

Posted by Muzak on 07-27-2003 06:03 PM:

nice. pic is really good for the speed, and the sound is tolerable after jackin up the bass and putting my treble down to about the halfway point, very listenable (lol) after that.

Sound sucks

After burning CDs the sound is terrible....using VCDGear to mpeg it is some what bearable.....

Needs some sound adjustments.....

Vid is watch able

Vid - 6
Sound - 3.5
Flix - 6 average sequel

Posted by frankwhite23 on 07-27-2003 07:12 PM:

not that bad it is watchable. but you have to give credit for the fastness of this release.

Posted by Ragin on 07-27-2003 07:19 PM:

It's Just ok.......

The picture is off to the side, color balance is on the mark but the contrast it bad, it looks cloudy, they didn't watch what they were doing there. The sound is not extreme, but very over modulated, and you will get some poppin, so I rate it at

6/4/8

decent colour on video, nice and clean
little flickery, cropped a bit

6.5/5/x

ACK! Audio could be easily fixed during transfer. Simply put a "t" pad on the inputs. Go to http://www.mcsquared.com/dbframe.htm and click on the T and H pad link. Sounds like they need about 30 to 40 db attenuation. Hopefully someone will get them the message.

Posted by pHizZ on 07-28-2003 01:44 AM:

The video on this release is very pixelated, and somewhat dark. Indeed, it is watchable, but it could be a lot better. Esoteric usually releases fast, but the quality is hardly ever up to par. I'm somewhat disappointed with this release. It's better than that UMS piece of shit, though. The audio is very tinny, and hollow; it could use more bass. Standard ESO release.

3/4/x

Posted by your name here on 07-28-2003 02:10 AM:

video is very good imo a lil dark though
audio is the killer its very loud and kinda hard to understand
movie blows~

8/5/3

I found something very odd about this one. So I started looking into it. From the nfo:

quote:
CD1:39x15mb CD1:39x15mb
Aspect Ratio: 352x288

From the aspect ratio, this indicates a PAL release. Which is normal. I saw the parts of this "somewhere" as .rar-.r37 . One shy of what the nfo says. Also my player doesn't properly play PAL, so I need to convert to NTSC. No big deal. Upon loading it into the conversion software, I see that it is already converted to NTSC. First time I've seen this happen without someone making a notation of the change.

Are all the copies of this in NTSC? And could it be that the audio, and video got screwed by the person doing the conversion? Re-encoding would certainly explain why this video is at times lesser quality than it should be.

Just checked the sample. It too, has been converted.

Video is nice and sharp and the colors seem good
