Its cropped, with a bad aspect ratio. Picture is way too dark. Here is before/after picture when i was trying to salvage this release.

fair to assume - given it's the SAME GROUP

will give this a whirl when I get a chance. from the sample...

8/7/9 (saw it at the cinema)


there's an internal rls from a group called CRDS with 5.1 AC3 - I haven't checked it out yet, but I'm assuming they've either stolen this video or re-encoded the SVCD. anybody checked that one out?


Posted by -={EtHErZ}=- on 05-29-2005 12:29 PM:

CDRS Is a telecine, with stolen video source from TUN and a fake 5.1 soundtrack, does that sound familiar anyone?

Thats what I read in the thread about the SVCD release of this, yep.


Posted by P0iNT on 05-29-2005 02:39 PM:

Good rip however I have noticed some syncing problems near the end of the film. The video is about 1sec behind the voice.

Overall good rip 9/7/10 (watch it at the cinemas for best experience)


Posted by meadowdale on 05-29-2005 03:31 PM:

from the beginning of cd2 its out of sync and its same quality as the tun rerip release only differance is tuns is in sync, this is most definatly not

vid 7
audio 5
mov 8


Posted by Rapida on 05-29-2005 03:39 PM:

Impressive Quality, enjoyed every second and had no problems what so ever.

This is a sure 9/9/9

kickass MoF!


Posted by jafyfan on 05-29-2005 06:29 PM:

Is this release plagued by those dreaded sync problems too? It looks very nice in all other aspects.


Posted by ATS on 05-29-2005 06:58 PM:

Does this have the Russian or English crawl at the start of the movie?


Posted by leethaxor on 05-29-2005 07:01 PM:

I know its no big surprise what the beginning text says but it would be nice to be able to read it


Posted by Brisse on 05-29-2005 09:02 PM:

Q=8
S=7 sync probs for me
M=10

Its a nice movie and a nice TC, but i would personally like the whole movie with russian subs so i could use my own subs with black bars, the text from my sub should remove the russians and when there is no sub i would get the whole pic.

Have seen it on the big screen, so I can wait for it.

Just my oppinion

hmm, first time I've commented in the divx section.

sync probs fixed with xbmc on the fly picture quality ok, not the best of telecines, relatively undefined and no-where near dvd quality. Sound has slight hiss to it but other than that it's fine. Cropping is quite noticable.

All things considered though, considering it's only been out just over a week this is a pretty top notch copy.


Posted by Wehrmacht on 05-30-2005 11:35 AM:

v7 - Gamma can be fixed, cropping can't
a5 - Clean, mostly in sync, but MONO
m8 - Still not evil enough

I'm not sure if i should bother to explain, but here it goes in short:

This whole tweaking needs re-encoding the video. Because of this, depending on the bitrate, it will always lower the picture quality some(depends what bitrate using)

Aspect ratio was corrected by lowering the resolution from 640x272 -> 640x240.

Brightnes(luma) was corrected by using Levels filters...duh.

I found that when adjusting brightnes the noise increased too. I applyed some small noise reduction too on the filter pipeline. Anyways, with these tweaks its a lot better than the origianl release.

Even though 640x272 is right aspect for this movie (2.35:1) it is fucked up because who ever encoded this, did not remember to calculate the pixel difference after cropping...thats why this release with its cropping needs to be 640x240

No Audio :(

I'm having trouble with getting the audio to even play. I installed divx and xvid codec and windows media is giving the unable to download appropriate decompressor. Suggestions?

The audio is AC3 (at least that's what GSpot says) so you need an AC3 decoder.

As for the release I honestly don't have the sync problems people are talking about. I seeked through the both entire files and it was in sync to the end of both. The ar is off a bit but that's easily fixed with media player classic. The colour/brightness or whatever is also slightly off but after fiddling around with the settings in ffdshow it looks better now.

Overall nice release:

7/7/?

EDIT:
changed video from 8 to 7 cause I justchecked it out again with the filters off and realized it was worse than I previously thought. A good release though as long as you know how to fix it up.

There is slight out of sync during the second cd, it only lasts couple minutes, then it goes back to sync.

Ok, I probably just missed that as I was going through the video :/

same as TUN

Same source as TUN's TC SVCD -- still red, still cropped, still russian crawl.

6/7/9

Video - 6 - i hate cropping worse than anything. redness is easily fixable with a few color correction filters, a tiny bit dark.
Audio - 7 - i had no sync issues, contrary to other people's claims here.. played fine in wmp/wmpclassic/xbmc. sound is pretty good, but I didn't notice more than one distinct channel... is it mono?
Movie - 9 - one of the best SW movies to date.

all in all a fairly good release, it's quite watchable. if you haven't already, do yourself a favor and see it in theaters first. it's worth it if you're a fan.

Please, someone with a new source?

How can anyone give the audio on this release anything above a 5? It baffles the mind. Are you guys deaf? Can no one hear that horrible audio hiss?


Posted by shaunaldo on 05-31-2005 04:41 PM:

used mainconcept h.264 encoder to convert this and dvd maestro to dvd, looks and sounds stunning!

great release

9/9/9


Posted by FozzieWak on 05-31-2005 09:10 PM:

Angry

Based on the fact that i have seen this movie on the big screen in theatres, i would definately rate this release lower than the ratings it has been given.

6.5 Video - The picture is SO dark that almost all of the background scenes are not viewable and many of the faces are just shadows. At the point where Palpatine and Anakin **SPOILER REMOVED** i could not even see Palpatine. The end scenes when Anakin becomes ****** is almost black which is a very important scene.
Its also cropped.

6 Audio - The hiss almost makes me want to kill myself.

8.6 Good movie that shouldn't be ruined watching a bad release. Go see it in theatres.

What happened to the days of early DVD SCRNRS ?


Posted by r3skyline on 05-31-2005 11:53 PM:

hmmm

from the sample it looks like a really good copy...im not good at re encoding no matter how many times i've tried.lol. is it same audio as workprint or the mono audio?im just asking because i dont really have a chance to download the entire thing for a long while....

You mentioned everything except the most important thing: What software did you use?


Posted by Redemption1980 on 06-02-2005 12:09 AM:

FozzieWak, change your PC monitor or Video Card settings, this looks nothing like u mentioned, all those scenes were fine for me, a little washed out looking in dark scenes, but definetly easy to see.

Audio is only Mono though, which sucks for a Star Wars film, you could edit this and the WP together, by taking the Opening titles and sound from the WP, it works fine, but is an absoulute nightmare to do and i wouldnt recommend it, the audio part i mean.

8/6/9


Posted by Pra3t0 on 06-02-2005 01:02 AM:

10/9/8

VIDEO: I've got all the various releases of ROTS and this is the best so far. It has the sharpest video of all current releases... including ViSA's WP release. It's obvious that this is NOT a re-encode of the TUN release. It is a rip direct from the original TUN source.

AUDIO: Very Good

MOVIE: Ain't Palpy the best?

GREAT JOB, MoF!


Posted by Garciake on 06-02-2005 12:30 PM:

sound on cd 2 sometimes out of sync

Turn up the Brightness and Gamma settings on your TV, that's what they are there for...
