Video looks pretty good for a dvd5 on a movie this size. The visual effects here really need a dvd9 or 2 dvd5's. I don't think the movie itself is really worth all the extra effort and bandwidth though.

Audio: 10
Movie: 6

Just reading the nfo gives me a lot of respect for these guys for making such an effort for the few people who dont have dual layer capable drives. I think for a DVD5 it looks quite good! Better than expected at least. Props XP

Its not bad.ar. Excellent release!!!

Posted by Triffid on 03-14-2006 01:17 AM:

I took aNBc's dvd9 release and did exactly what XPDVD did except I went one step further. I stripped the end credits. It resulted in an average bitrate of 2918k and it looked pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised.

::EDIT:: Please stick to reviewing the release in question. If anything, this should've been posted in the aNBc release thread - Neversoft::

Posted by omega59 on 03-14-2006 01:32 AM:

it's not even nuked anymore, get over yourself already.

Posted by rubenmb on 03-14-2006 02:34 AM:

Guys calm down i was only telling about what i've seen. And it was NUKED. I haven't download it yet, how could i say if it had bad a.r or not?

Posted by Jc100 on 03-14-2006 06:25 AM:

There's a long discusion on the subject of DL blanks in aNBC DVD-9 thread. Essentially you have to set the 'booktype' to DVD-ROM to enable a DVD+DL to played like a DVD-DL, then go and make coffee while you wait for the layer change

I was perfectly happy with the BoCCA release. If I was downloading today I would probably go for this one instead. There is nothing extra on the DVD-9 which justifies me burning my own DL or shrinking to DVD-5.

Also in my humble opinion this movie is far too violent for children to watch despite its PG-13 rating. It's an old-fashioned movie for older viewers such as myself.

For those of you who don't know how to change the booktype, put a +R/+R DL disc in your burner; open DVD Decrypter/IMG Burn; right click on your burner and select change booktype. Open the tab of your burner make; Top dropdown select +R/+R DL and bottom DVD-ROM. Click on change

Ive never done this and all of my DL burns play in both of my standalones, my PS2, and everyone else's standalones that Ive loaned them to. So what exactly is the point?

The point is, that not everyone has a standalone that plays +R discs. This is supposed to make that possible although I've never personally had to use it.

Did you use a +R disc in your burner? You can't use a -R to do it.

nope didnt use any disc. i thought you can set a booktype in general, for all burns. you mean to say i have to set the booktype to dvd-rom every time i insert a dvd+r to burn??

No, I'm saying you have to have the +R/+R DL disc in the burner to change it period. This isn't a general thing. It's a specific setting for getting a standalone to read a +R disc as a DVD-Rom. The only reason to do it at all, is if you own an older standalone that can't read +R discs

Hi,

Considering the length of the movie, XPDVD have done a great job, the quality was very nice.

V - 8
A - 9

Film - overall good, but many FX looked iffy - if your going to do CGI, do them right, no use spending lots of time and money on FX if straight away they look fake - CGI course 101

You may to have update your writer's firmware before Decrypter will accept the change booktype command.

Many firmware update files come bundled with an interface which allows you to change the booktype without using DVD Decrypter.

Nice Release

Posted by UglyNaked on 03-18-2006 05:32 PM:

Seek/FF issues in this rls?

?/9/7

Has anyone else noticed problems with FF/Seek?

Plays fine in VLC and WMP, but trying to advance 10 sec or minute in VLC or use the slider in WMP causes app hang. Advancing chapter by chaper works ok in WMP for awhile then ciauses app hang after the 15th or so chapter.

I thought it might be the dvd-rw I reused, but I notice the same behavior in the img.

I'm thinking maybe I should reauthor it - this is one of those movies I can see being flipped through.
