ahhhh, and so the flood begins abit early....
Fucking beautiful!
Can anyone tell us when they have watched it what type of screener stuff this release has i.e. messages (scrolling or pop-up) or black and white scenes, or any other type, and tell us how often they occur. I haven't got the fastest connection and have only got irc access and don't wanna waste my time downloading it if it is plagued by these things, Thanks in advance, MD
Jesus Christ!
Both Gangs of New York and The Two Towers the same day.
Thank you, TDI!!

keep giving us kickass rips like this one
WHOOOOOOOOOO
that'll be a nice thing to watch
so i guess ViTE will make the xvid then? (considering TDi's last dvdsceeners)
Swimj: what is wrong with it?
//spooky
hope they will release it as a dvd-r too, because 4 cds is way to much. a dvd-r is cheaper. but thanks any way for this awesome release. just hope for the weekend we will have the dvd-r
I've heard it's nuked for bad sound, can anyone confirm ?
Release the source too
Now everyone can relax...for awhile...
I really want to get the 'DVD' of this since I have the burner...BUT I'm mucho happy with this...
Thx to all involved...
Great work TDi, but at 4 cds long this movie is going to be loads of fun to download =)
woooooooooooooooohooooooooooo, good job tdi, sorry tcf they beat you by exactly 1 week from last year =) but great job guys, i hope its true dvd screener qual but tdi/tcf/vcdvault i trust you guys.
There's nothing more to say than THANK YOU!
Good Job
Has anyone seen the sample yet? I will get it soonish, but just wondering if there is gonna be a flood of *propers* and shit coming if there is anything slighty wrong with TDi's encode...
nice one.. but if the volume would be like in gangs of N.Y. it would be perfect =)
Prayers answered!
Thank You Thank you thank you!!!!
This is awesome!!! Now I gotta find the damn sample!!! As long as id is a DVD Screener I am happy lol.. I have watched that damn PDVD one 4 times, gives me a headache every time.. Saw it 4 times in the theater.. Thanks guys!!! Awesome!

jsut wondering if anyone has seen enought yet to know if there are any scrolls or index markings, TFOTR had a txt scroll which wasn't bad, is this similar???

thank god this is out, so sick of hearing people cry about it...wasnt the best movie of the year anyway, but tdi still owns me.
Vite will make an xvid, because vite is tdi, just a different name for there divx group.
How is the quality?
Darkness (or anyone that has seen it) how is it compared to 1st Fellowship SCR last year? Is it basically perfect DVD Scr as far as sound and video?!

well just saw the sample
it does have low sound volume but thats no problem
just turn up the volume....
and peepz... its NOT nuked...
and the only thing you see during the movie are the words
For your consideration....
issues! geez
Finally all those days waiting for sour losers for DVD SCR of TTT to be released!!!
Now that's it has been released.......and stopped flooding every single thread without naming TTT... then I guess people now wont shut up bout the sound til a retail is out.......maybe then they'll still have a problem with it? right? LOL
Good Job TDi...... ignore the greedy....... aprreciate the complimants..
Outstanding Job
there is nuttin wrong with the sound. ok it maybe a bit low but isnt that what volume cotrol is for?
djeez
sum people just dont appreciate what they get. even if its for free gready lazy ass fuckers.
YaY!
My first post, but this movie is worth it.
The Quality is great. Sample has a "For Your Consideration" white text, but it's a screener. FBI Warning, This Movie is only for blah blah blah is normal.
Sound is a little low, but who cares, turn it up.
A great release, thanks TDi
9/8/10
Nice, thx tdi
good work guy
u kicked ass again.......
Thank fucking shit for that. The end.
p.s: Thanks TDi for bringing this all to a pleasant end.
anybody know what the size of the dvd screener is supposed to be anyway?
saw sample
sample wasn't great, but it's the best that we have, so stop bitching til we get a proper release, lol.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SwimJ is the same guy who was sayin he knew tcf supplier, so you know he not only takin the shaft in but droppin the jaw to engulf the sweaty balls of TCF....LAMER
On the release , i think we all knew it was gonna come from TDi,they been kickin everyones ass lately, although they screwed there last rip, i can understand why if they were bringing us this and i dont give a f**k about the emperors club anyways...LOL
As for the release, iam glad they went with 4 cds, the quality in the pic is almost unrivaled quality , i also had to turn the knob up on the sound too to make it better...minor problem and no bitching required over something so small and trivial, shit its a dvdscr of lotr 2 and a beautiful copy and i and ahhh.........
I gotta go get the rest of it iam too excited, ive already seen the sample 94 times , and iam almost bored :P
TDi just took the lead as top group of 2003 , nuff said.........
anybody know what the size of the tdi dvd screener is anyway?
Meh! Does anybody even care...... Will grab it but the film was overrated anyway. At least people can shut up now!

as for the sound...if it's low...turn the volume up (problem solved)..

Very NICE release.. just watched 15 min. of the first CD.. 10/9/10 SUPER COOOL!

picture quality is awesome but the volume on the sample was very low, might be me tho...
for those who wanted some
pics
http://devil-inside.virtualave.net/tt1.jpg
http://devil-inside.virtualave.net/tt2.jpg
the reason that dvd rips are lower in sound volume is that dvd covers a far greater sound spectrum and to keep the higher notes clarity they record it to play at a lower sound volume.so as to allow the software to produce the full spectrum
heard this has mono sound, is this true
The wholy grail of dvd screeners. Yes!

mmmm many newbs about the forums lately, interesting comments and requests from them hah.
any way good rls about normal dvdscrnr qual sound is little lower than normal but just turn it up. Go see this movie in theatres if you want to see it you cant compare with the sound and size but this is a good rls if youve already seen it at theatres and want it at home.
hmm.. dont understand why ppl complaining at the audio.. or picture.. if u dont like it dont download/watch it.. see it at cinema or something then instead... cheers!.. great work TDi!
WOW. That is the only thing that can be said about this.
To all you people saying it needs to be reencoded, WATCH THE DAMN SAMPLE!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!! its obvious u judged it by the first jpeg, and it was awful and in wrong aspect ratio.
This is by FAR the best quality DVD Screener that has been released this season. I am not lying at all. The quality is absolutely incredible.
10/10/10 NOTHING ELSE.......TDi i am so impressed with the quality there is nothing else i can say. Thank you so much.
Finally, it comes out, and the TS's are gone! Well done and thanks TDI
Regin!!
ok just checked cd 1 in my dvd player...
and somehow the sound is not low.. it good...
but on the pc its low.. very strange...
Hrm, anyone know the date the FOTR Screener was released last year?
Could it be exactly one year?
Just wanted to thank you.
OMFG....I just burnt the UTi cam yesterday....errrrg. Oh well 2 copies are better than 1 I guess. I know I'll give away my UTi cam and get cd's for them and burn the DVD SCR...yeah that's it...*smirk*
omg FINALLLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO
still going to get the actual dvd though but WOOOOOOOO
sound is poorly downsampled from 48->44.1khz... and that makes metalic... guess they were in a hurry... thats whats with the sound... 9/7/10
thanks TDi now i cant wait for the dvdr w00t
OMG
Low sound? Is this a joke. In so many threads in like the past 2 weeks, people have done nothing but bitch that there hasnt been a 2 towers dvd. Here it is, and people are still bitching. Just stfu!
Great release!
nuttin wrong with it in my opinion just burnt one of the cds n tried it in my standalone nice rip TDi props for bringing this to the masses when my kids get home from skool its gonna be lotr party time
I don´t see what the problem is , i just checked the sample , great pic and sound , it wasn´t to low either,hmm.
Don´t compare TCF LOTR and TDi TTT , the source could be different, who knows.

Anyone know if the DVD contains an AC3 5.1 track?
If so hopefully there will be an Xvid rip with it. Would be great!
Sample looks good, sounds is low, but juts make it loud -- some are comparing it to the narc dvd scr audio, but i think this is a bit better. Video looks good as well...
9/8/10
thanks tdi
--who posts 4/5/6 for the rating... thats not cool...

ok kiddies listen up heres the skinny...
now remember this is IMO
the pourpose of a scr/dvdscr for me is to have good sound.. pic i could give a fuck about unless its upside down cause the tv smooths out the pixels anyway...
the sound on this rip is definately sub-par. its horribly low.. its twice as low as NARC was narc just needed to be normalized it was loud in some parts.. this is low completely.. and also.. i noticed when music starts to play that theres a buzz.. sort of a metalic sound.. i ran it through some filters and fixed the volume troubles.. but in doing so it magnifies the imperfections.. making it worse..
so MR. Fuzz's suggestion.. unless you just HAVE to show this off to all your friends.. or just cant stand it anymore.. i would wait for a proper or at least uber internal.. cause its all about the sound baby

heh, if u have a complaint, go see it at your local cinema, 3 weeks old, and thanks to the great american awards season we have a awesome dvd rip like last year's, maybe they might not release part 3 in december now, seeing a second dvd quality version of the movie is now available...
oh shit! PROPS TO TDi!!!
Spot the group members...
a proper sound system and equalizer can "smooth" the sound like your TV "smooths" a poor TS's pixels.
I figure just turn the volume up or why not take it yourself and go into SoundForge to play with the audio then reencode.
You got your TTT DVD Screener, please stop complaining. You've all been complaining now for over a month straight in any thread for any movie other than TTT that was released as a DVD Screener.
Just leave off already.
Good job
Very much good enough in my opinion
Im downloading this beauty as we speak... from the sample it looks awesome!!
Wonder when someone will bring a DVD-R version out of this???
Anyone know?

good quality, the first one to mess with New FXPs Rls, but i just comes close, can't beat the great first Rls!
props on a great release. doesn't mean it's a good encode though. i'm hoping someone with a little more experience does a better job on it.. dvd-rip is a dvd-rip though. still a great watch
Is it PAL or NTSC?
You know what, after downloading ftf's, tcf's, and svenne rls, and not watching a single one because they suck ass, and after seeing the sample of this rls, I know now this is one I will download and watch on my home entertainment system. The sample is awesome, and if full rls is anything like it, then this is more than good enough for a dvd-rip/screener.
__________________
This does not need a fucking proper ffs, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this rls, the audio is fine and the vid is amazing!
It has been nuke on NO sites that matter!!!!!
thats not to say the BBB fannies havent nuked it cos of stupid rumours.
9/9/9
Download it and see!!
are you people deaf? Listen to the sample, there is a high pitched whine throughout. Same on cd1..
It needs a proper, due to that whine...turn up the volume and it gets even more irritating. Just listen...people were moaning about "dvd scr" for ages...fair enough, the group that releases it gets "major props"...but when they mess up the sound encode, is it really worth it? Theres no point in hardlimiting the sound either, that whine is just as loud.

I have no idea what u r listening to or indeed watching, there is NO FUCKING WHINE the audio is fine
there is indeed a "metallic whine" ... it is especially easy to notice as it messes up the otherwise beautiful music, especially the rohan theme with the violins or whatever they are... if you can't hear it then you could probaly settle with the sound of the ts...

fuck all the haters

I'm just happy it is out, and a 4 disk like the first one, I can't wait to get this!

The squeal happens when there is music, and i would have noticed when i went to see it in the cinema for sure. And i did check it out on the standalone...acoustic solutions dvd521 in case you're wondering...why it would be different on the pc to the player is baffling to me...i mean, its playing the same source

Great Job TDI! Props for being the first to bring us this awesome dvd screener! Since I get movies from the newsgroups I do not know where to view the sample, so I can not give my opinion on this "sound issue" everyone is bitching about. But if it is true I will be waiting for a proper for sure.
IntenSmile
I have to agree with all of the (heh) whiners. The sound is poorly compressed and sounds mechanical. It was noticable on my PC and even more noticable on my standalone.
I imagine some group will release a proper for this. When they do, I hope they also release the mp2 files separately so that the people who have already downloaded this release can mux the new audio with the current (excellent quality) video and save themselves from having to re-download 3+GB.

To answer my own question, Sharereactor released FOTR DVD Screener January 18, 2002.
*shrug*
here's the FOTR release info for ya Elder n case ya still wanted to see it....
01/16/2002 SCREENER Lord of the Rings *DVD SVCD* TCF [4 CDs]
:: just saw this, sharereactor lol :P -pHo
its about time. what a waste of space on these message boards, constant bitching about the lack of a ttt dvd screener. here's the damn thing, now enough bitching and lets move on...
well is the sound being low the only problem?
Yeah, fair question, it is only the low quality of the sound the only annoying detail of this release? If so, this is not even a problem. You know, some systems have those little/big buttons from which you can turn louder the music, woooww, how nice. How is the image quality btw? It is clear enough? Good colours?
MY WAIT IS OVER!!!! This release is off the hook GOOD JOB GUYS!!!!
dupe of SJR last week.. nice try though
great release..

i dont think ill even get the movie (honestly, no interest in the series) but i am glad this is out
if it means an end to the ttt bitching and comments in every thread then this is a victory
Thanks for the words Mr. Fuzz ; well, it definetely sounds groovy even with that metallic edge of the sound, eh. Now, one last question and I will go to sleep in peace (I do not promise this, though), can we compare the sound quality of the TDi version with those countless CAMs that appeared in the last weeks? It cannot be that bad. Can it? I just hope the sound is a bit better than it was with those CAM's versions.

as far as image its pretty much perfect.. but that means a whole bunch of nothing if you have this shitty sound
sweet, been waiting for this one for a long time, and now i also have a new dvd player that plays svcds instead of just vcds. Saw the sample, looks pretty good.
Great job TDi.
w0000000t! Eight days earlier than last year!
9.5/8.5/10
Thanks TDi!!
rock on
If the picture is perfect I can deal with slight sound imperfections, especially since almost nobody has even noticed them.
Can't wait for a DVDR tho!
It's seems that many svcd releases has that high pitch background. Some threads at Doom9 has discussed that issue. It needs really good rippers to get it right.
Unfortunately for that great movie this time....
Pho...
PHo dont be dissing the sharereactor it has many a good tv-rip for ppl wit out TV dumps and they have older tv eps too
PS. STARGATE RULEZ!
:: i diss everything, get used to it. -pHo
Metallic Sound
perfect video, i mean perfect. as for the audio, well, i have an Audigy sound card. there is a metallic sound, put the treble up to 100% and you'll hear it. i usually have it at 100%. i put it to 40% and it's inaudible. i wouldn't be suprised if a group did released a proper cuz of the audio. hopefully VITE's release won't have this audio problem.
Partially off topic:
Gollum for Best Supporting Actor!
Anyone else think it's cool that New Line is really pushing for Andy Serkis to get it even though the odds are way against them? I just think it's cool they are sticking to thier guns and pushing for who they think deserves the award, not picking an 'easy win'.
Video quality is just awesome. But i use my computer as HTPC in my home theater, and i also noticed that the audio is kinda "metallic". It's not that poor tough.
I think I'll grab the xvid when it's been released. Hopefully it includes 5.1 sounds. They would be soooo sweet
10/9 for video and...
6-7 for audio.
ps. I only checked out the sample.
Oh my precious is here I must get the precious tonight MY PRECIOUS!
downloading now
t-minus 2 hours :\

The audio issue isnt that bad, its because of a shitty mp2 encoder, ive also noticed it on the adaptation dvd screener. I think if anything would possibly be wrong with this release is the captions on the bottom cuz its an academy screener. But also their not on all the time. But i have been waiting on this for a while almost started thinking its not gonna happen, so im way too happy to see such a good release, and also very happy to see the dvd scr came out before a tape screener.
This is the Christmas and New Years ever!!

Great great release, i experienced the thing with the sound too, on my pc it's not really clear but on my standalone it is.
Sound still isn't perfect, but i think 90% of the viewers won't even notice it
Great job TDi!

omfg what r u people bitching about! The picture my lord the picture is butt fucking beatiful even looks awesome on a computer. The sound the sound is fine could be better but until a DVDRIP comes out in a lot of months to come this is perfect great job TDI fuck all the people bitching about the sound!
Obligatory THANK U post
Okay, here's my "Thanks" for the release...
Anyhow, I checked the sample etc. and there's nothing to really mention that hasn't been said. In fact this post is a waste because I doubt the group's gonna see this, much less care.
Anyhow, Thanks guys for the screener...
May you have much beer and vagina in the new year!
k, after burning cd1 and watching it all, i can safely say that my Dvd player might possibly have something excellent in it that removed the static.. or that my tv is great.. or..... SOMETHING
Atleast, the metallic effect is gone, and the hiss went with it..
Its still 41kb/s.. which is kind of silly :|
SO

Sound of on cd4
Hi I heard from a friend that the sound on cd 4 has a Loud shap sound Is this true. ? .
I would very much like 2 know.
Thx
I too would love to see the DVDR of this, either DVD-9 to DVD5 downsampled with original soundtrack intact (similar to the harry potter2 and die another day rips). Or 2 DVD-5's for the same quality as the original. I do hope TDi has the DVD-9 sitting on a Hard drive somewhere and will answer our DVD-R wishes!
Thanks for an amazing post. Keep up the good work.

Ripping a dvd properly as var as video concerned can make a big difference, hence the reason respectable groups like TCF can rip dvd video better than some n00b groups.
However, as far as sound is concerned, the only options you really have is what bitrate you want to encode at (im guessing this one is either 192 or 224 or else it would be nuked) which is totally fine. The last option you can choose is whether or not to downsample the audio from 48->44.1 Khz. Now if they leave it at 48khz some of you will start crying because 48khz (although better sound) will not play on your dvd players because 48 is not at the true svcd spec. If they downsample it to 44.1, (which they should to make it according to spec), then the rest of you will complain because their was a loss in quality from the original audio source.
Main point: I'm sure if this was released by TCF nothing about the sound would be said...why don't you just admit that TDi owns us all for this quick release and sTfU.
MODS CLOSE THIS THREAD!

Can't the sound be fixed with a certain program if it has issues?
too all you ppl. the "metallic" sound problem exists, if you don't hear it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. for SOME it's inaudible, for others it's ANNOYING. it has to do w/ treble levels like i said b4, if you can lower the treble, it will be inaudible, but don't say that there isn't a problem cuz it's probably that the treble isn't set as high as other ppl have it.
this is the one to download folks.

as for audio, it should be done in BeSweet GUI or a similar tool, which allows proper control of the stream, and the baddownsample wouldn't occure. anyone releasing in 48khz is an idiot and shouldn't be congratulated for releasing in a better quality format, chances are you wouldn't be able to hear the difference if its done properly anyway.

once again, the audio is done in BeSweet in DVD2SVCD, and if you want to change the options in BESweet if you wanted to, but the default options have been set to give just about the best sound you can get.

Just got done watching the first disc, and I must say I'm quite impressed. I've been waiting patiently and silently for this, and I'm pretty pleased. Video and Audio encdoding could of been better (it's not as good as TCF's Fellowship rip, one year ago), but overall I'm really happy with it.
Good job TDi!

High pitched sounds are the first you lose. I've got some VCDs that had such awful high pitched noises it was painful to try to even watch them but my old man could watch them no problem. I think you just need to age a little so the noises don't bother you 
Haven't gotten the release yet.
what it sounds like to me: (in my opinion)
1st, judging by TDi's rips of We Were Soldiers and Narc (I dont have every single TDi release) the ac3 5-channel audio is being converted to mp2 2-channel audio using only the front left and front right from the AC3, the reason I say this is the dialogue in both these movies are barely audible, but the sound effects are super loud. This is pretty much what would happen if you unhooked the center channel on your dolby digital system and played a dvd with 5.1 sound.
If you take the bad mp2 audio, and try to 'normalize' it with filters or whatever, basically you got to turn the super loud effects down to the level of the dialogue and other missing center channel info. Resulting in a very low volume overall with acceptable sound quality, but noticable distortions.
The better solution... learn to use the programs your using properly, and rip the shit properly from the start.
This isnt supposed to sound like a 'flame', just constructive critisism.
YOu guys are insane..
I am shocked people are bitching about the sound, this so called "whining" or hiss.. ok guys, lets see.. try this.. play nothing, turn your speakers up all the way, hmm you hear anything? Maybe a hiss or some people a whining? It is called interference.. Soooo.. hmm ok lets think.. Maybe if you demultiplex the audio from the video and then normalize the volume 400%, then put the audio back on.. hmm.. maybe just maybe.. Wow it is perfect!!! Sheesh people use your heads.. Easy as fuck to do.. Just re-encode the audio with TMPGenc.. leave the video alone, then multiplex the audio back onto the video!! Wow was that hard!?
Sheesh!!! lol..

Good Job !
Good job, image quality is really good but sound is not excellent.
A little bit hard to download
Hope someone will make a more compress version soon.
Oh yeah by the way, i know where they got this so quickly
you see,if it says 'for your consideration', then that means this was intended for one of the judges on the academy, you know, the OSCARS!!
-i know, cause i know someone on the academy
I just finished watching CD1, and the only problem was the low audio. But I easily fixed that by turning my volume up a little higher than usual. That metalic hiss that everyone was talking about was inaudible on my Samsung TV.
Great job, TDi. Keep up the great work! 
I guess it depends on your equipment, but i personally had absolutely no problems with this release. Video is perfect and audio is fine. I'll admit the audio is pretty low, but when i put it up higer on my system there isnt really any noticeable distortions, etc. I also never heard the "metallic sound" or whatever, not saying some of u r lieing, probably just varies from person to person. Anyways great rls, quick, and very good quality.
9/9/gonna watch it tommorow night.
p.s. this is not judging on the sample, but on discs 1 and 2.
Damn
OK, I use the FTP's, Newsgroups and XDCC and I cant get this shit for days after its release. I wish I were one of you people... So whenever I get it I will comment on quality. If you have annoying sound you may be able to take it off with the hiss or noise reduction options in Cool Edit Pro 2.0. Just use the preview to see if the sound is good enough. Loved this movie and am gonna have a bitch time to download 4 fuckin CDs.

Great release.
Video quality from the sample (kind of hard to tell, best to see from dvd player) is at least 9. Audio - on computer there's a hiss that everyone's talking about, can't see it interfering too much, once again it will probably be better to see on a dvd player first.
So for now:
9/8/9
Good flick. Get this one.
If anyone here remembers LOTR2 well, see if you can answer this question.
What part shows Gandoff(sp) falling far down and fighting with the dragon? I download the sampel and it showed Gandoff showing himself and saying he fought at the highest peeks and slayed the monster. Then it shows the monster on the snow top fighting and then dying. I thought it showed him falling down far then that.
Any thoughts?
Sound
Movie looks great. I heard the sound is kinda schetchy or something. I haven't had time to download the sample.
lol
I think you are right too dopeuser8. After watching the whole release, I had no problem with the audio really other than the fact that the conversation and dialogue are quiet compared to the rest of the sound effects. Who knows if this was on the DVD itself or it was the result of the encoding, but I just turned up the amp a bit and it sounded great. Like someone else said, maybe the neighbours didn't like it too much, but it never caused a problem for me.
To carry on other the thought from other people's posts on this thread, after all this bitching about the dvd screeener not coming out for the last week or two, I think TDi should be given the credit they are due for releasing a high quality release like this and TDi has proven that they are the cream of the crop for 2003 and their merge with ViTE has been a great move for the scene in general. And NO... I am not affiliated with TDi in the slightest.... just appreciate what people bring to the scene.

I just viewed the sample and I must say this is absolutely beaitful the audio sounded fine to me...but I agree its a tid bit low but nothing raising the volume up cant do I rate the sample 9/9 so hopefully the rest of the video is like that but i'll wait until i see the whole thing to cast my vote anyway thanks again TDI

What is everyone bitching about the sound for? I watched the movie just now, and it is a beautiful video encode, and i hear no problems whatsoever with the sound...
those of you playing on your PC don't use PowerDVD to play , it seems to create more noise than is actually there . Plays fine on WMP and WinDVD . Tried several different standalone DVD players too and the cheap little KOSS portable plays it the best [even better than the APEX ] ... go figure ???
--- DGP ---
yes that is at the very beginning, and he is fighting Balroc not a dragon. He is said to be the devil in many ways but middle earth has no god and the devil so you decide, but he is not a dragon.

MAJOR PROPS
Finally got to watch the whole thing, major major props, pic is even better then TCF last year,sound wasnt as good ,but walla when i turned it up, it was fine, to bad the complainers in the post couldnt do that....but with such a big release there always has to be the bad apples ,regardless thank you very much this makes them legends in my mind
well, 3:16 am local time here, and ust finished watching LOTR, and i must say, GREAT FUCKING RELEASE!

the only "whining" i can hear is from you ppl complaining about the sound , the sound is good ,
You guys should be ashamed...really..this is free and your bitching??? You guys are fricking lucky enough to even be able to download this....here i am on 56k, no way in hell could I ever get this rls...so stop bitching....be lucky that you get to view it at all.
Sample nothing like movie!
The audio is perfect, the sample it is very low volume but in the movie it is perfect. Just finished the last of it and volume/sound is perfect, I think everyone (including me) was commenting on the sample volume thinking that was how the full release was, which it is not.. So seriously everyone, for SVCD DVD SCR it is a 10/10/10.. Only thing better would be the DVDR version which I would love to get.. hopefully that will pop up soon.
Put your fears aside, friends. The sample sounded horrible on my computer, but the actual movie on my standalone isn't really any quieter than other SVCDs you'll find and the picture looks great.
Great release TDI. Sample doesn't do it justice by half.
re: Sound problems
I haven't bothered to read all 200+ posts, so my apologies if this has already been mentioned. I'm ready all these complaints about bad sound, and all the responses that some people can't hear it themselves... I'm willing to bet (though not very much) that those really bothered by the noise are the younger members of VCDQ, whose hearing is still sensitive to a higher range of frequencies, and those who can't, or can but only just, are the half-deaf doddering old buggers. Being somewhere in between, I can't say it bothered me. Sure as hell pissed off my dog though

just telling you that TDi kick ass! great jobb TDi.

First post! Finally took the time to register.
What can I say that hasnt already been said. This release is superb. The last few releases from TDi have been practically flawless. These guys are good.
well done TDi
the samples audio seems to be out of sync with video on my machine ? does anyone else have this ? if so please tell me the whole 4xCD's arnt out of sync too 
Great Release. Many props go out to this group for putting out a fantastic release for us to d/l and view. The video is sharp, and vibrant. I had no problems with the audio whatsoever.
If you have a chance to get this release i highly recommend it.
9/9/9

Wish I knew how to use Usenet! :P
You people are all idiots. Theres nothing wrong with the sound. Get a real sound system and it sounds great. The sound is a bit low yes, but sound on any real DVD is lower than say your TV sound would be. They didnt mess with the sound and make it louder and crap like most others do, they encoded it with the regular DVD volume, and it sounds great on a surround system. "Metallic" my ass. You guys will bitch about anything.....Maybe if TDi just sent everyone the DVDR in the mail then youd be happy?
Video 9.5 Sound 9.0 Movie 9.5
Great great release, just as good as TCFs last year in every aspect
I just HAD to register to say this:
The video is as good as it gets. The audio is equally good, just lower than normal. I didn't notice any metallic crap ruining the scores etc.
This is just simply the closest thing to the DVD we can get, be happy and stop complaining. In some respects it may be useful to people visiting this thread to know that the volume is a bit lower than usual, and a few people have experienced a metallic sound, but trashing the thing is just lame.
Tested this on my computer, using PowerDVD and I have no idea what sound some people are speaking of. To me, its sounds excellent on my computer, and even better in my stand alone, which again I notice no mechanical or tinny sound. Maybe
Jimmni is right, use older folks can't hear because of the lose of hearing, usually due to attending too many heavy metal concerts .
Going to watch this tonight with the wife and baby on my stand alone/big screen/surround sound system!

Tears of unimaginable happiness...
Watched first two discs...
I have a 'decent' TV setup...and I heard no problems at all with the sound...Just happy to have it really...
Video is great...sound is good too...screener message better than last years scrolling stuff...now every ten minutes or so 'FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION' for about 10 senconds...
Thanks to anyone involved...
This looks and sounds great on both my standalone and my computer. If I were to be extremely picky, I'd say tcf's release last year was a tiny bit better... but I'm not extremely picky when it comes to flicks of this quality.

^^I know you can burn any kind of data on a dvd-r, but on vcdhelp.com they have a whole tutorial and they say you have to re-encode to dvd for it to play. So I just have to burn a data disc with the mpeg files and thats it? I don't mean to get off topic I just would like to know. Thanks
My first post...thanks a million for all your work!!!!
sure i coudl watch this, but no way in hell could i listen to it. i will wait till someone propers the sound, i doubt the metallic static was part of the source... actually fuck it, i will do it myself.
Anyone know if there are any scenes missing from this release? It will be my third time watching it (Theater, SVENNE, TDi)!
I was disappointed with the SVENNE release when there were a couple scenes missing, one was kinda important too.. :P
Anyway, I've got the first two discs burned and soon the last two.. I will repost if I find any scenes missing.
Out of Sync
I found this on filenexus but they say that its been nuked because its out of sync. I havnt heard of anyone having this problem. Could someone tell me whats going on?

the sample has audio errors/problems that are not present on the discs so please do not judge the release based upon the sample . This is an excellent release by TDi and we all owe them a great deal of respect for bringing it to us no matter what you think . If you wish to wait for another release then please do but at least grab one disc before judging by the sample alone [ and check it out for yourself ] .
-- DGP --
** as stated before , it is not perfect but still damn good - how many dvd screeners have been perfect any-way ... ??? I don't recall ever seeing one that was **
for all the people having the problem with the 'metallic whine' try using a different player to play it back, tried it with powerdvd last night and it sounded like crap tried it with windvd today and while it was still present it was a lot less annoying, it was really audible during music which sucks because this film has some really nice music, still gonna wait for a proper though
I have a question that may have been asked before but I dont want to read 200+ replies. I want to convert this to a DVD with TMPGenc or something else if need be. Has anyone else done this and can someone tell me the options. I currently have it set as 44100Hz Audio. 224 (I think thats what the original is). 2 pass VBR 1000min, 3000avg,5000max. Also, if someone has a template made for this sort of thing, I would greatly appreciate that. TIA
okay got it and burned it so now am posting two cents based on the release, not the sample, etc.
Volume is low, that's its only problem. The volume dial goes up pretty high on my sound system hooked into my standalone player, so I really am not complaining at all.
Video is crist-all (Judd Nelson quote, Breakfast Club)... proof again maybe it is super youngins who only know John Hughes as the Home Alone guy who are hearing high pitched thingies.
Man, have we reached the point where citing The Breakfast Club makes you old? I hope not.
Regardless, I am not a fan of the series at all -- yes it's true, some people just don't like LOTR -- but I waited until a DVD Screener to watch it, and here it is.
So I won't rate the movie in fear of upsetting some Middle Earth residents we have here, but it's a 9.5 or 10 for video (really is beautiful), and 8.5 for sound just because -- yeah i know -- it could have been encoded a bit louder.
And yeah, thankfully no scrolling screener message, just a little note that makes me thing I'm special... pondering what I should consider when i'm watching... like what topping to put on the pizza.

Anyone know why the picture has a light-black bar right on top and right on the bottom of it? You can see this in the sample if you watch it in full screen. And it is much more visible on the standalone. Anyone know why this is? 
Do I have to change the sound in anyway to work on a DVD? I was planning to use these steps : http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/svcd2dvdr.htm
to change the 4 cd's into 1 DVD. It says something about re-coding the audio, but do I really need to if the quality of sound is to my liking? or must it be 48?

if you can see the black bars then your contrast is too high on the display device [ turn it down a notch or calibrate your video with AVIA ] .
no flame intended to those that own the SB Audigy but instead a flame towards the Creative SB line of sound cards , there is nothing High End about them other than the price .
I am not saying that the Audio is perfect in this release but it is not as bad as some have stated , the problem is either the software or hardware that you are using to play it as other software and hardware can play it back with little to No 'metallic' noise [ try it and see ] . I have some dvd players that don't like the sound and then others that play it perfectly with Zero noise . Consider that TDi tested this on a player that did not have any issues with the 'metallic' noise and therefore knew nothing about it [ this would indicate a sense of Urgency to get the release out to the rest of us ] .
I am not trying to be a TDi fanboy here [ as I luv TCF and remeber the days of CTP and looking forward to all that TcS and v4f have to offer ] but please do not dis-respect any group that does this and risks so much for the rest of us . You can rate the release without being rude !

But the picture it's self is 16:9, so what you are seing is what your TV and Comp is reading as video, but it was never intended to have picture. And so your monitor is adjusting the gama and contrast to that along with the video. It's nothing to worry about.

What's the DVD-R release? Is it just a burned copy of the DVD screener? Or do you need a DVD burner to burn it to DVD?
The picture looks great in the jpg and I've seen so many different opinions about the sound that I'm just going to try this one out. Who cares if I have to get a Proper if one is released. That's what cable is for.

Well done TDI
Just watched the whole movie and the picture is beautiful! Thanks TDI! I don't hear anything wrong with the audio except sometimes I had to turn it up a little to hear Frodo, then turn it down again when the Orcs screamed and stomped around.

FYI
2 DVD players at my house both played fine on a 65 inch Mitsubishi Diamond view 16:9 HDTV No bars, and definitely didn't notice any sound problems in the Stereo sound.
The cheaper Audiologic, which is older everyonce it a while loses audio sync with video..but that happens with all svcd and not vcd, but what can you expect for 65 bux from fry's new.
Also playing through WinDvd, on a pc produced excellent quality, With a laptop to the HD tv it was excellent as well.
My guess is personal Hardware/Software problems...
:: intriguing how u got no bars when the movie is 2.35:1 and a 16x9 tvs width is 1.78:1 ...
I just burned the SVCD's and it runs absolutely flawless on my surround system and dvd player... although sometimes u can hear just a really slight buzzing or metallic as described. Doesn't really affect the movie though except for the music... but its a great release. Way to go TDi!
Picture is absolutly flawless except for 1 or 2 flickers in cd3
DVD Quality(not blocky) just great
Sound great but I needed to turn it a bit louder than my normal movies to get the same sound :P o well doesnt matter
I love this release absolutly beats any other rls by kilometres!
10/9/10
Good Job TDi on rls'ing a great movie in record time with great quality!
Someone a few pages back said he was gonna post a waveform of the sound in Cool Edit Pro to show the high pitched squeal. I decided to amke one myself. I demuxed the mp2, converted it to wav and opened it with CEP:
http://www.geocities.com/dcm386/LOTR.jpg
I can't see any high pitched sounds. Its probably just feedback you are getting from the TV/PC Speakers because it is turned up so loud. That had happened to me before with some SouthPark episodes i downloaded.
To sum it up, the people who say they heard a sound are likely telling the TRUTH. However, the sound is not present in the source.

There is a slight whine in the audio but I had to turn my amp way up before it was really noticable, I watched what I have so far and got plenty of volume without hearing the whine. In case noone has mentioned it there is a "for your consideration" tag every 10 minutes that runs less than 10 seconds. Unless you are an extreme audiophile download the damn thing, it rocks!

No high pitched whine
watched it 3 times now...
no extraneous noises at all!!!
Maybe what you are hearing is just line noise from the amp?

I found this release to be awesome! Absolutely no problems with the sound (have even listened with HQ headphones, speakers, surround sysytem, and find nothing wrong with it). Strange that some are having problems. Anyway, I think this was a great rip. I couldn't picture it being better. I have a 6 disc DVD rip of TFOTR extended edition, and the quality is the same. Great job TDI! Thanx!!!

i waited long enough
I think i should go ahead and get this, i've waited long enough, i've been seeing it and seeing it. thank goodness i learned how to use the good progs. lol. I've been stuck on chicago for a while now, great flick. i love it. whoa catherine zeta looked tasty. yummy. well i'm gonna go get queued for lotr disk 1. lol. later all.
i been waiting for this for ages a great job by tdi..this will keep me going for the next 7 months wht i wait for the dvd to come out. thanks amilion guys.
as for those that say this is an overated film get a life..if you dont like it dont down load it and stop bitching.
great job tdi. been waiting for this realese. it will keep me for the next 7 months till the dvd comes out.thanks a million guys.
as for those who say this film is not so good...if you dont like it dont down load it and stop bitching..me i think the film is the best yet.
I played the sample with WinDVD 4.5 using the 96khz setting, and got noticeably metallic sound, so I opened it in Sound Forge, to see what I might be able to do. But it didn't sound metallic in SF, and I mean without any tweaking. So I figured it might be those settings in WinDVD, so I went back and turned off the 96khz option, and sure enough the metallic sound vanished. Least, as far as my ears were concerned.
This is fine, until the DVD comes out, when I'll actually spend a little money for the best sound and picture I can get, support the filmmaking endeavor, and not be a whining, parasitic, cunty little bitch that expects it for nothing -- not that anyone here fits that description
Video is very good 9/10, sound is ok 7.5/10, Movie is 10/10
Thanks TDi keep up the good work! I appreciate this release.
LOTR stop ur fukin moaning
Ok watched this last night with powerdvd (srs), creative 5.1 theatre system, digital projector (12x10), and a 6ft X 6ft screen. It rocks man as good a screener as i have seen, DvD or no.
the sound quality is actually fantastic if you have the right equipment to hear it, and the spectrum of sound including the subwoofer shudders are amazing. The reason peeps will say the sound is bad is becoz its not compressed. Therefire next time you seek to judge sound etc, make sure you know what your fuking talking about, or, you have the right equipment to make a subjective opinion.
Still its not like i give a fuck anywayz.
You cant let them go........It's in god's hands now!

CandyMan ,
you will not have that Kenwood very long with 18 speakers hooked to it . Have you heard of an Ohm load ? Do you know that too many speakers will cancel eachother out ? My god man please don't ruin a nice receiver by thinking the more speakers the better [ it most certainly is not ] .
This is not intended as a flame but instead I am trying to help you to not destroy your investment .
I have tested this release on true High Quality gear [ Harmon Kardon - Polk - Cerwin Vega - 1200 watts total ] and the noise some of you speak of does not exist here .
-- DGP --
watched cd1 and the video quality is just as good if not better than any tcf dvd screener like die another day. the audio is kinda low but how hard is it to turn the volume up on your tv?
my only small gripe would be they cut the top and bottom of the pic off a little more... i guess to block out the warnings and stuff but that kind of stuff doesn't bother me really so it would've been nice if they left the whole pic intact... but just about every group does that and its not a that big of a deal to effect the score.
10/9/10
just finished watchin it
just finished watchin it and i didnt notice the sound problem at all on my dvd player so that was a bit weird
9/8/9
old time lurker, first time poster (like many)
finally put in the time to register since it seems nobody else noticed this
the .bin isnt a correct SVCD format.
Telling windvd to play the disc doesnt work.
Well it doesnt for me, anyone else wanna confirm this?
PowerDVD will play the disc in disc mode however, but it sounds crap in PDVD
My sony dav-s300 once ive changed the svcd header information ot non-standard vcd and then burnt it as a vcd it plays perfectly
no distortion in the sound, picture is fabulous
only downside to my svcd-vcd header change is the timestamping is screwed
my non brand cheap generic dvd which plays everything unlike that pos sony cant actually read this as a svcd which is why im "complaining"
id rate the video/audio/movie but everyone else already has so theres not much need
in terms of release tho, im not impressed
anyway thats my 0.02€
(aside from all of that, big up TDi, good rip )
How often come these subs "for your consideration" ?
THx

glxblt
and anyone else talking about the sound quality
i can confirm there IS a metallic buzz ..its really no problem coz it is very low, and most people dont have good enough sound system to even hear it, or wont even listen carefully enough to hear it. But it IS there 100%.

a whine? what the fuck are you guys? dogs? i don't hear shit...
if you can't detect the bad downsample then you are teh deaf. not so audio on crappy tv speakers admittedly, but on good headphones its very clear the audio has been borked. if you dont notice it , good for you, but don't try and look down on the people who have good equipment and good hearing ...

First of all, props to TDi on releasing this. Second, I'm positively confirming that there is a metallic hiss in the background. Eveyone knows the sound is is low, but when you have to turn it up, the hiss becomes very apparent. I've tested this out both on the computer and several stand alones. I've actually never encountered a DVD or svcd encode that the volume is this low.
Let me throw this out:
Could it be that because TDi was aware of the hiss and lowered the volume on purpose? Considering the timely release of this?
Seems really odd. Anyway, bottom line is that there is a problem with the audio and hopefully there will be a proper of some sort either by TDi or maybe even TCF. Not sure about FLIX's release, anyone check it out yet?
haha good equipment my ass.. and good headphones? what the hell? yeah... let me sit in my living room, hook up some headphones, watch this beast so i can hear a whine and go to the vcdq forums and bitch.. yeah good idea..
:: well you're bitching anyway...
BAH, turn up your PCM on the computer, not just crank the speakers up. You crank speakers up = hiss, always. Theres no "annoying" hiss, if anything, its so god damn tiny its not even worth mentioning. You just wanna suck TCFs dick a bit, just like when CTP was around.......Ive watched it, gave it to my boys, etc, and not one person said a god damn thing about the hiss.....
PS - USE LINUX
Just got hold of this, been ill and spending far too much time in bed lately.
Quality is ace, sound is fine on my dolby 5.1 setup but it could be cos my ears are fucked due to this damn cold I have.
Oh and it also has "Gollums Song" on at the end which I'm glad about cos I never got to hear it at the cinema due to the people next to me wanting to leave!
If you can't hear it, then you can see it...proof of the visual form now for all you who seem to believe that the audio is prefect
This is taken from the sample, so the majority of people can compare...
Screenshot 1 shows a moment where the mechanical whining is not present. There is no clear high pitched noise.
Screenshot 2 shows a moment where the mechanical whining IS present, and if you see the circled part of the graph...there is a clearly higher pitched noise coming through at a rather loud decibel level...proof, i think so

To whine or not to whine?
Heh! I have read all the 200 posts so far, and I have to post my two cents' worth of garbage:
1 - Downloaded the 4CDs two days ago. Watched the movie last night.
2 - The sound has been downsampled from the 48 kHz from the DVD to the 44.1 kHz of the SVCD spec.
3 - It maybe be due to the particular stereo / decoding equipment that we use, but some of us hear the metallic whine and some of us don't. I do, and the only new information that I have to impart is that it is very noticeable in two scenes:
a - When Gandalf whistles to call Shadowfax before riding to Rohan.
b - When Treebeard screams after noticing the destruction wrought by the orcs at the fringes of Isengard and Fangorn.
I feel like such a n00b asking this. But the bin/cue files are 800 megs each... Well the max you can get on a CD is 700 megs (give or take a bit if you overburn)? So how does one burn these to normal CD's? It seems stupid to release bin/cue files for SVCD's if you can't burn them to normal cd's. Why not release them as a single DVDR instead or at least PDVD?
:: 1. question has been asked a million times, mode2 burning supports 800mb. just burn the damn bin/cue onto normal CDRs 2. pdvd is a pressed dvd pirate, what the hell does that have to do with burning?
Just thought I'd register (finally) to reply to this. I'm not insulting/looking down on/flaming anybody in this post, but I can't hear the hiss, and I've tested this release on a variety of different systems. It's fine on my PC, and the speakers I've got aren't exactly amazing, a pair of Diamond Audio Technology. My standalone DVD and TV seem fine too, no metallic noise/hissing. I tried it on my brothers new Dolby 5.1 system with virtual surround sound enabled, I altered bass/treble and couldn't hear it still, neither could he. I tried it in my cousins, her boyfriend's setup is a bit of a beast, and neither of us could hear a metallic noise. I tried it on his PC too, and it was fine there. Maybe some people CAN hear it, like somebody said, we've all got different setups, but I honestly can't. And I've just turned 17 in case anybody cares, since somebody suggested that younger members of the forum can only hear it, since younger people are able to hear higher frequency noises than older people. And from how most people describe the noise, it can be gotten rid of, or is so quiet it's insignificant, wouldn't say that would make it unwatchable like someone previously said. Just my 2 cents anyway, nice release TDi, much appreciated

That would make NO diferance, I said it was the contrast on the monitor, the fact that the bars were on the sample makes NO differance. If the monitor is a tad to high, then YES, then sample would also have those black bars.

I can't help but wonder - wtf is the matter with a little bit of borked audio and "for your consideration" when you're getting a good qual. vid that is not gonna be out for sale or rent for like 8 more months?
I've been d/l flix for years and I love the GIFTS these rls groups give to us. Used to be you had to wait for a fkn VHS if you didn't know anybody at a video store to hook you up with a screener.
I give this rls 9 / 8 / 8.
Since I want a perfect rls, I'm gonna buy it at the end of 2003 on DVD in 6.1 digital and save my bitching for morning rush hour.
btw - Ohm load depends on if you wire your speakers in serial or parallel - there are ways to do it if you know what the fk you're doing.
PROPS and THX to all the RLS Groups EVERYWHERE!
that enough of that
peace

Okay guys, concerning the back bars seen in both the sample and actual movie. Anamorphic DVDs have a video aspect ratio of 16x9, or roughly 1.77. LOTR: TTT however was shot in Super 35 for a ratio of 2.35:1.
Thus, to fully recreate the entire 2.35 frame in a 1.77 box results in some small black bars on the top and bottom. It seems that on the DVD screener those black bars are not actually true black, so if your monitor's contrast/brightness is set too high, those bars will appear as a shade of gray in contrast to the actual black background of your monitor. Make sense?
P.S. The same can be seen with showing an anamorphic DVD on a 16x9 widescreen TV. The "black bars" are still present, but significantly smaller than those on a 4x3 screen. And if the contrast/brightness is set too high, those black bars can seem to be gray.
-- Tycho
Finally got around to watching it on a big screen tv with a dvd player. Video is excellent but the audio sounds very compressed, especially in the higher frequencies and the sound effects often drowned out the dialouge. Still a good release but the audio should be better.
Yes
Hey guys, question for ya.... why isnt this baby on Kazaa yet?
I mean, doesn't it defeat the idea of file sharing in the first place to promote elitism? You know a big f you to all the music/movie industry types?
Nice job!!
im looking for this...
Just wanted to know where i could get TTT DVDscr TDi, been looking for it on IRC and Kazaa and found nothin, plz help me if u have this movie.
I'm all cured and better now! Although my hearing is still shot to shit.
Played it on my pc upstairs and on my dvd player downstairs and yes, I can hear the sound people are talking about. I didn't find it annoying, some might. I've experienced similair things, for example when I converted Harry Potter 2 Divx to SVCD so a friend could watch it on his dvd player, I got the same sound problems then.
Anyway, great release, this'll do me till the retail version comes out.
And there have been far too many posts about this release. Any chance of the thread being tidied up a bit?

Yeah, I was wondering about that. I thought it was just me.
I can only play it with WinDVD by putting the mpeg in a playlist.
In my standalone, its fine except that disc 1 iis Soooo close to 80 minutes that a small set of fingermarks on the CD edge stopped the last 30 seconds from playing. Or maybe my player is too fussy.
Anyway, GREAT release.
I cant unrar the file. I have the newest WinRAR and the Par and SFV says everything is 100% good. But when I go to unrar it, it says invalid or corrupt authenticity information on all the files. Is there something I can do to fix it?
okay, after watching more of this release i'm downgrading the score for sound to 7... i didn't notice how low the voices are till i watched about 45 minutes of the movie... it is very hard to hear low voices in this release even with the tv volume to the middle bar... any more is just to loud and makes that buzzing sound very noticeable.
a+ picture but c+ sound.
quote:
Doesn't the system have Dolby Prologic capabilities?? I'd think that would sound better than VIRTUAL mode.
Thanks guys , great work ..Just finished watching it ..perfect!
This release is ok. The audio was pretty bad, i was watching it when i went to bed a couple nights ago, and everytime thier was music (especially the wraith and battle scenes) it was like a vacum sucking my ear dry. Or maybe my ears or just too sensitive. :-[
Other wise, the rating: 10,8,9 - Video is not flawed, in any way, if i didn't know, i would mistake it for a DVD-R itself. Or maybe becuase its small on my monitor (I don't have an SVCD player), but anyway, my opionion on this superb release.
-geoff
how big are the files
Hi.
I'm just wondering how big the files are, so that i download the real TDi Screener. Can anyone teel me the size??
First time post, long-time lurker.
Props to an excellent release guys.
A (admittedly well known) tip for getting SVCDs to play on a DVD Player that will play VCDS but not their big brother :
Get a copy of TMPGenc then :
1. Open TMPGEnc and goto FILE>MPEG TOOLS and click on the Simple Multiplex tab.
2. Click Browse for video input and select your movie.
3. Be sure that the type is MPEG-1 Video-CD
4. Select you output file.
5. Click Run. This will take 5-10 min maybe more depending on video size and speed of your computer.
6. Now just burn to CD useing Nero or any other burning tool that will burn VCD's
Apologies if this is so well known that it annoys the experts, but this method allows the viewing of SVCDs on most DVD player (which support VCDs) with no drop in quality.
Enjoy.

There is definately something wrong with the audio, because my PC can play it fine, but the audio cuts off after 5 seconds in my picky standalone (RCA 5220p) and the video continues.
The DVD player can't handle sub-standard audio and according to it, this release is.
Is it too low of an audio bitrate or is it VBR audio? I still have to try and convert the MP2 to a better bitrate.

converted to dvd-r
I have converted all 4 files to dvd but the 1st cd is out of sync after encoding, the remaining 3 are perfect. anyone else tried converting to dvd and if so did you have same problem with the first cd. I can't seem to fix it was wondering if anyone else was able to fix the audio sync problem?
ummm to all the people who say the sound is sh*tty....plz re-think this....the scene is free...everything u get here is free...dont expect dvd quality everything of movies that just came out 3 weeks ago......and if you want good sound how about you goto new line cinema and tell them "hi my warez copy of the two towers has crappy sound, so can i get a direct sound disc from you?" please think about what this scene has come to.....all the threads r shitty now...."ttt scr now!!!" and when it comes out..."o i need a better one, the sound sucks balls"
what about the rls groups? all their hard work to be shitted by all u foolz...im happy with this rls...frankly if you want good sound you system doesnt matter....its the encode...but who the f*ck cares? its free...live with it or how about you ppl that hate this rls start a group and rls a better one.
Again, great rls overall, great movie

the 4CD has some probs , (TDI release)
during the attack at Helm's deep ,
the movie becomes really choppy and the image freezes a dozen
times , checked it with my standalone player , and PC
(nonthing wrong with the cd either)
thought u should know that..
Well I give this movie 9/8/10. But is there any english or swedish subs for this movie yet?
Ive noticed that the sound 'drops-out' after 5 seconds but then comes back and is fine - though slightly 'tinny' at the top-end, its not anything to worry about too much.
nice release, very gud quality, gj tdi
on my dvd player, after using the header trick, it still stutters, but the way to get around that is fast-forward a few frames, play, pause, play. it works fine after that for the entire movie. and i had no problems in the helms deep scene, worked fine both on computer and dvd player.
oh yeah, and for AlanW3010, if you use the header trick, it will then work in WinDVD as a vcd.
Hot Damn,this is one sexy release!!!
Audio is a little low but the perfect video and the fact I have The Two Towers DVDSCR in friggin' January more than make up for it.
Mad props to the supplier on this one!!!!!
I am the last poster, does that make me cool? thanks
hah u're not last-- i'm cooler!

Is the 01/08/2003 DVD SCR Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers the full 3 hrs?
Im wondering how long each cd was..... i think they were 34 mins each and if their is 4 cd's and at 34 mins each thats only 136 mins which is not 3 hours..... i was wondering if their was scenes cut out of this version can you anyone confirm if this is true or not....
mpg's not playing on comp.
I recently finished downloading parts 2+3, and instead of just burning the files to CD-R, I unpacked the .bin files with WinISO to a folder on my comp. I don't want to waste 4 perfectly good CD-Rs on an incompatible DVD player, and especially when the real DVD will be available in a few months anyway.
But I came across a problem when I tried to view the .mpg contained within the .bin file. There are tons of wierd coloured squares all over the screen when it plays. Much like you get with any normal mpeg-2 during various parts of the file that never come back in the same place twice, but on these files, they're all over the place from beginning to end. And there's so much it reminds me of an old VCR tape that you are constantly trying to get the tracking nob in the right position. Only here, there is no magic nob to turn that'll make it go away. The audio is completely slowed up, and I can't see ANYTHING of the actual movie.
Do I really have to burn all these files to CD-R in order for them to play right? I don't want to have to waste 4 CD-Rs to sit and watch them on my DVD-ROM. I'd rather just play them straight off my harddrive instead. Is there any way to correct this problem without having to burn?

Just went to burn this rls with Nero, and what resulted was a disc where the audio and video are about 10 seconds out of sync. In order to burn through Nero I had to convert the file (in Nero) from Mpg2 to Mpg1, and that was what resulted. Works fine on my computer though....anyone have any suggestions on how to burn? Thx.

I read through about 7 pages of posts before I gave up looking for someone else that had noticed, but there's at least one scene cut out of this screener (not sure how common this is, don't usually notice if they are missing).
I noticed this when I watched the sample, the Balrog/Gandalf fight scene is cut out between the start of his telling the story and ending up on the snowy peak.
Not going to post any spoilers for those that haven't seen this great movie, but those of you that have seen it in theaters or another previous rls should know what I'm talking about.
Checked on the second CD as well, same thing (sample comes from the very beginning of CD2).
Now, mind you, I haven't had a chance to watch the entire rls yet, so there's a chance that this is the only omission from the screener, but my money's on at least a couple more small omissions.
Great rls, video: 9 (small artifacts occasionally, "For Your Consideration" text does not impact the video rating in my opinion, sound: 8 (too quiet, yes I know it's normal, but some sort of boost would be cool if quality wouldn't be degraded), movie: 7 (hype and lofty fan-base expectations can hurt a good movie, ie- StarWars prequels)
Again, great rls, can't wait to see a DivX version (I'm not a fan of SuperVCD due to poor size/quality ratio; yeah I know they play in set-top boxes, I don't have one and probably never will have one)
/me is n00b
Is the audio in this SVCD just stereo?
I can't get the CD to play on any of the movie programs I have.
Which codec does this movies use so I can make sure i have it.
Or what is a recommended program that can play this CD?
holy shit 330 posts

Holy shit, the JPG is coming up on 100,000 views! That has to be a record!
Great Release!!!
the volume is a little low but easily corrected by turning up the volume higher.
All in all it rocks!!! Great job TDi.
Thanks!!!!
Great visuals sweet!!
Excellent visuals I have no problems with that... the audio though... I got in trouble for. Because you can't hear what they say I turn the volume to a comfortable level, once a loud scene is in the near vicinity and I can't race to turn it down it wakes up the whole house lol. Can't imagine how many times I've heard swearing. I am hoping the Vite version is a fix to this (plus less cd's) holy shit I read here that there is missing scenes? that sucks (me being the booky fan). Oh well hey we can't complain for what we get free. Anyone else witness frequent pausing in the first cd anyway? or is it just my copy? I played it on a standalone dvd player that is compatible so maybe that was it.
@jaweimer - I would recommend your DVD player software (if you have any), such as WinDVD or PowerDVD for playing these, as they aren't movie files like DivX, but rather they're CD images that are meant to be burned to CD (or mounted, with a program like Daemon Tools).

lol, don't I feel like an idiot then. I even asked my wife about it and she agreed with me, but since you both mentioned the balrog/gandalf fight scene being in a dream of Frodo's... now it's clear.
Sorry for "jumping the gun". I just coulda sworn.... lol
Sorry about that folks
[This will show you how to alomost completely fix the sound] [issues with Lotr-TTT TDi rip. i would say about 87% ] [improvement over original ]
1. rip mpeg from bin with vcdgear
2. demux with tmpegenc
3. convert mp2 file to wav with besweet. just a plain wave nothing special
4. DownLoad Sound Forge 6.0 off Kazaa Lite
5. in sound forge open your wav then
a. click on processing tab
choose normalize [will increase vol. with minimal clipping]
click on the "music" premade template
move slider to -12db instead of -10
hit ok
b. after its finished
clik on the processing tab again
choose smooth/enhance [this will greatly reduce "tinny" sound]
move slider to left until the number 4 is the setting
hit ok
6. now save your wav and exit
7. open besweet and compress it back to a 224kbs mp2 (not 192kbs)
8. remux with tmpegenc
9. convert to bin with vcdEasy
Enjoy!

note took me 15+hrs of testing to get this result
Does this release have 5 channel sound? I was just wondering because that would be badass. Plz reply and tell me
Xvid vs Svcd
well I'll put it to you this way... I have the SVCD and the Xvid and honestly... -2 cd's and easier corrected sound has me won over. I go Xvid this time... I have them all... I had no problems playing the fellowship screener on my stand alone dvd player (which is old enough to support home created svcd's) but this time around with two towers I witnessed horrible luck. The visuals look sooooooo good but the sound was not the sound wanting to be heard on TV speakers. It made tv speakers sound like a 1950's echo distortion via mono like sound where Last years Screener was pretty darn Bulletproof all across the borders. It made my awesome woofers and surround speakers on my pc sound as though they were gonna blow during loud scenes. Don't get me wrong, the visuals are better on this it's just having to turn the volume up max then down half way then back up again during quite scenes. However the Xvid came out quite well... better than the Divx version last year. However TDI did quite well and I imagine it's not impossible to correct yourself. Anyone know if it is just because of too high of bitrates?
This is an awesome release 10/9/10 the sounds low but I just turned up the volume and w00t sounded perfect =/ I ran it with pro logic and didnt hear any buzzing or anything just had low volume but I did switch to stereo and the audio was quite bad so just use pro logic on your dvd players everyone

Ok, here's the final verdict. Got myself the FLiX's internal and compared it with TDi's. Audio is perfect in the FliX's release. Very similar to V4F's Gangs audio. I ripped the audio at a certain area where its the worst metallic sounding and hiss and compared it with the Flix's. The video is actually pretty good for being three cds. But gotta give props to TDi's video, which is impeccable. Can't say that for audio tho. Well, doesn't look liek anyone's gonna do a real proper anytime soon, unless mayge TCF does it's own rip for the retail in like 6months or so. This won't do anygood for most of you guys, but just thought I'd let everyone know.
Well all I got was TDi release and it kicks ass.
Sounds beautiful on my Promedia 5.1 Klipsch speakers
Nice video quality and is a pretty good movie.
The Two Towers TDi SVCD DVDSCR
I think this quality if fine! all you people arguing about it is pointless. its better than the old cam quality that were available. gonna take me a long time to get this, but its worthit...thanks again...great release
nice release. one of the best, earliest dvd screeners I've seen. "For Your Consideration" is the only watermark that doesn't appear to often. However, the double widescreen effect, or whatever its called was weird. 8/9/7
lotr2
good shit Tdi everythig is perfect.
And all of you little Fu**** complaning about the audio stop being little cheap Fu**** and go watch the movie.
TDi
Good TDi, saw the movie yesterday. Picture Quality was Exelent, and sound too, a litle metallic sound but still i would call it exelent
Nice one TDi )
The Most Incredible Movie Ever Made
I finally got a chance to see this tonight. The format that I downloaded had a resolution of 480x480 and 192 for sound. We simply normalized the sound and fixed the resolution to fit the frame rate as well as set it to 224, and...by God, what a masterpiece of a movie this is!
I've been a fan of fantasy since I was old enough to talk and placed great revelry in Tolkien's works. I'm a published writer, myself, and would have been humbled beyond words to have had an adaptation of my own work done to this degree of mastery and dedication. If you liked the 1st rls, The Fellowship of the Ring, you'll be speechless after having seen this new rls of the second in the trilogy.
Completely impalpable. (For those of you wondering), UNTOUCHABLE.
Your eyes will water.
As for this TDi rls 10/9/10
i dont know why most people are complaining about this release...its great quality and who cares if the sound is a little metalic, personally i can tell anything bad about this. i only have a 56K modem buti'm still determined to get this because its such good quality. i originally got the XViD but its out of sync and hav no idea how to fix it so i/m getting this and this is great.
great release TDi

Either burn it to a SVCD and watch it on your DVD player or you can watch it on your computer, assuming you dont download some Divx re encode or some such shit.

I finally got my hands on this rls the other day (I was too lazy to actively search for a while).
I wil weigh in on the tinny noise issue.
It is most CERTAINLY there. My dad hears it, my brother hears it, I hear it...My mother with bad hearing doesn't.
I've tried it on 4 full-fledged home-theater systems, logitech z560s and Klipsch 5.1s.
All of them have tinny audio on the high end frequencies. Back when I was learning how to encode video files in VCD/SVCD, I was thoroughly annoyed with TMPGEnc borking my damn audio. I found out that it was because it sampled audio poorly and switched to SSRC and tooLAME to process the audio, and the tinnyness was gone.
The tinnyness is indicative of poorly encoded audio. Rather by poor encoding in general, or too low of a bit-rate. If you can't hear it, you have bad hearing. That's it.
I haven't had the initiative to check the bitrate, but is the audio lower than 224kb/s? If so, that's why, and I'm sure all of you know that.
Nonetheless, since it's impossible to fix audio streams without downloading new audio streams, I will be content with the quality of the video and let that override the poor but marginally acceptable audio.
Cheers.
One of the best quality DVD SCRs ive ever seen! and what luck on a wicked movie like this, o ya only 1 little watermark.
