The only thing that could make this release worth a download over VideoCD is whether the subtitles are in english. The mono sound and sidebar make this release nice but a distant second to Videocd(who seem to have issues with leaving the credits in).

I'm not sure lately what the big issue has been about the credits. As long as you see the credits start, that should be sufficient. I mean if you leave all the credits, then you have ppl calling your group credit whores for making the release bigger, but if you cut the credits, then you have groups bitching and always asking if the ending is missing. I think VideoCD cuts the credits because almost always they are in French

My opinion, this release isn't bad, a good R6 rip. Thanks MPT

credits are in french....?

you mean they change all the actors names etc to french names...?

unless theres extra footage like in shrek 2 during the credits i see no need for them

Posted by vip3r on 06-21-2004 02:47 AM:

This is a good release and all..kickass picture/sound (comparing this to recent telecines)..but i think i will pick up the dvdr of it, which doesn't have that annoying ass sidebar on the left.

9/9/5

Posted by Debo on 06-21-2004 02:56 AM:

I agree. But Van Helsing, Shrek2, and The Day After Tomorrow show that they can cut a little too deep. Just let us know it is the end of the movie. I don't want to gues is it the end.

The colors are awesome. Sound is mono, but who cares. It's not like TS's are any better. Why the hell is it nuked?

I think VideoCD cuts the credits/ending because the camera operator turns off the camera before all the people get up & see what he's doing.

ok from full release...this is really nice. Looks great on the t.v.
but is it just me or are the subs missing on a few scenes that were included in the videocd release. Even if they were in french. They are none existant in this telecine. I'd have to watch again to be sure...overall besides the cropping on the left side. This is good..

9/10/8 Movie was good I like Jackie Chan, bad and dumb role for Arnold Schwarzenegger.

And just for the record the sound is not in mono its in perfect stereo. check your cpu speakers.because sounds good to me out of right and left. and even better on the television.

exactly, it has nothing to do about the "issue" of credits, its about saving their asses. in every single movie theatre, as soon as the credits start rolling the lights go on and half the thatre starts walking out. if you had a camera under your coat would want to keep it rolling while all that was happening? i dont think so.

Posted by lorddusty on 06-21-2004 10:12 AM:

I watched the sample on my TV and the sidebar went away... strange, this rls looks great though but the sound is mono as someone mentioned earlier(wish they would have sourced that from DTS but whatever) .. i am kicking myself in the ass for downloading the videocd.. but I would not have expected TC this early.

8/7/6

Posted by brr8760 on 06-21-2004 10:34 AM:

While I'd never "kick myself" for downloading a VideoCD release, I left my jaw on the floor testing this puppy. From mediocre vcd ts's.... to THIS??!! Whatever drug MPT has discovered, sign me up for a coupla ounces. Unbelievable job, fellas. What is this, Monday?? Even the sound was loud and sharp. (10/10/?). And a bunch o' thanks.

That's what I love about the scene, always another surprise in our Christmas stockings...

Extremely nice job MPT. This is better than the VideoCD release. Sound is crisp and the video is very nice as well, no color fading. Sorry but this is just better. I still don't care much for the movie though. A big thumbs up on this one MPT

Here is a tip you can use to impress your friends. Just because sound comes out of two speakers does not make it stereo. Unless they have a different audio source than the one released in the sample there is no doubt it is mono. And as far as using computer speakers i use stereo headphones

Leave that for the kids that post in here ok. My remark was just stating it sounds and plays fine. Just so people won't avoid getting this, thinking it only plays on one side, which is usually what mono is suggesting..

Then maybe you should have said that instead of trying to say something was wrong with my speakers. Practice what you preach. It is not in stereo and i wish you would quit tryin to mislead people into thinking it is. It has sound going into both speakers but it is not stereo. Quit tryin to save face and admit you were wrong and move on.

Man who in the hell said your name. I didn't point you out or target your name for everyone to see. And I'm not wrong..when you say mono people think one speaker, next time just clarify what you mean. And grow up and stop being so defensive I never said shit about you or even stated your name.

nice, form the sample 9,9,?
, but i already got videocd and since i have a slooooow dsl i wont be getting this one also, have to keep up with other releases :P.

BTW being mono doesnt mean it only plays in one speaker, thats just the case of a BAD stereo with one mute channel, wich is very different to MONO, or you can even get 2 channels with the same audio as the mono just repeated in both sterreo channels wich is still bad stereo (more like DUAL mono lol) with no difference in what you hear :S.

that is for the people that think one speaker only when they read mono, for the ones that already know what mono and stereo means, you can ignore this.

Posted by Jurai on 06-21-2004 08:32 PM:

Leaving the credits intact on a ts is just a waste of bitrate that would be better used on the whole of the movie, so stop whining if they're cut, if you wanna know if you missed some of the movie, go to the theater

Mono or stereo? I dont know and dont really care. Adjust your amp/receiver to fade to the back and you really cant tell. Somebody mentioned lack of subtitles but i didnt even notice where any were necessary but i did get up for a sec to refill my drink. In any case couldnt have missed much at all if any. Also sidebar is gone when watched on standalone. So anybody bitchin should stop cryin like little girls and TRYIN to find things wrong. Movie just hit theatres and we got a dvdrip so be happy.

p.s. i dont post often so while i'm here i must say to all the centropy fanboys, please get their dicks outta your mouths

8.5/8/5

Posted by desertboy on 06-21-2004 09:58 PM:

Not the best TC, missing pic on left side, grainy and blocky. Probably lloks fine on a standalone best copy out there but I just watched VideoCD's copy so I don't think I'll be getting it again.

6/8/4 (6 for video as this was a TC we really expect better)

just watched cd1 and all i can say is to me it looks like a good TS, it has the pulsation effect with bright seens that usually is present in TS's, reminds me of the terminator3 TC that caused such "discussion". Over all very good and perfectly watchable, for the pre to dvd time its awsome. However for the group to even consider it retail form anywhere is either an amazing prop to the silver factory or a very big shame on them.

8/9/?? need to see cd2

i watched on a monitor, on the old tv this would look the nuts

Posted by Joppo on 06-22-2004 03:42 AM:

8.5/8/?

Watched the first few minutes of this and that of VideoCD's

defo some Subtitles missing from outset, for instance the bank bit

should say Bank of Londond somethin somethin somthin (Dunno what it said

was french lol). But Pic quality is better, is defo a keeper.

Posted by bcool2k on 06-22-2004 05:45 AM:

hmm .. i dont' know what to say about this one.. its been nuked on some sites i've seen.. For a strange bar on side.. Supposedly fixed on the dvdr. Region 6 DVD.LOL yeah right... IT's a TC, but not that gr8.. Just my opinion.. Stick with VideoCD if u don't care about subs and a lil of ending.. nice try though MPT.. Chakra still kings of TC...

What is funny is that this is getting a better rating than the Chakra release of harry potter. It has the sidebar and such and still it is rated about as high as a TC can go. ?
I think somebody is stuffing the ballot box

Posted by 104 on 06-22-2004 07:49 AM:

Well the R6 retail ???? does look better than this encode of it. Its very clear and has ac 5.1 sound...

Not the best encode of a dvdr i have seen must have rushed it to be cool..

Whats with the side bar thats not on the R6 and defintly is not cool.....

Posted by Movie_Insider on 06-22-2004 11:59 AM:

from the sample it looked nice 8/8/? I'll wait till I am done with cd;s before posting how the movie was still have to watch VideoCD's copy too!

Posted by scousethief on 06-22-2004 02:08 PM:

looks fine to me 8/8/6

film was ok not what i thought it would turn out to be and def not the actors i thought wouldve been best to play the parts ,as always the original was far superior

Posted by djj on 06-22-2004 03:06 PM:

Excellent telecine, shame about sidecrop though. Both video and audio are good. Movie is just ok.

9/10/7

i JUST now got around to checking this one out on the tv...i think its excellent...im starting to wonder if people nuke stuff for something to do...

Posted by Luvs2juice on 06-24-2004 09:41 PM:

watched the whole thing i give it 8/8/6, i had a problem with
cd-2 20 mins in it became very pixelated and choppy and out of sync for about 20 mins. anyone else have this problem?

Posted by Mr E on 07-03-2004 12:33 AM:

I don't know what all the sidebar shits about, it certainly showed up on my PC but when burnt to CD it vanished.

I checked it on a standard 4:3 TV and widescreen 16:9 and no sidebars present, so I'm happy.

Quality is excellent, I won't need this again until it comes out on retail DVD.
