From sample;
Vid looks good, nice colors&contrast. Pic could be a little bit sharper, I think. Saw some strobe like artifact in down left corner. Could be the movie itself.
Audio is direct, Gspot&nfo say CBR. Hope not. Shame if this would be nuked.
Movie looks promising. Either it is a great flick or a very boring one. Will find out one of these days.

Thx once again, Pukka.

audio is ac3 so that's why it reads as cbr

from the sample it looks decent enough.
not the best TC i've seen, but the video is bright and the audio is direct & clean enough to enjoy. i just hope no sync issues.

7.5/8/x

been looking forward to checking this one out after all the praise it's getting.

From 2 rars and sample. Resolution and color good. Decent sound. Appears to be a premier movie. IMDb 9.0, #44 on its all time best movie list. Rotten Tomatoes 89%. Ebert 3.5 out of 4.

8/7.5/? An immediate must see. Thanks to PUKKA for the vehicle.

Ok, apparently I'm still on noob status and can't post my message immediately, so anyway, I hope this message doesn't take too long to get to everyone.

Possible **SPOILERS** (hardly):

This is a definite NUKED. Not only are there scenes that are completely cut-off (i.e. you wont even find the part from the trailer with Day-Lewis dressed-up saying, "When I say I'm an Oil Man, you will agree -I'm a family man..."), but the second CD is out of sync (confirmed by me and people on rlslog). This is an excellent movie and I don't think it is watchable like this at all, even if it was in sync and included the missing scenes. In that, I'm talking about how the black level in some scenes is just too dark, and since this movie relies heavily on the actors emotions and respective facial expressions, it's just not worth seeing if you can't clearly see their faces.

looks ok to me from the sample' lets just hope that its not out of sync from what iv'e heard already about CD2.

set the time shift to -335ms shortly after you notice the sync problem on CD2. that should fix it.

I've skimmed through CD2, at times it appears to be very slightly out of sync, but I'm honestly struggling to tell for sure. If this is the case, then I'm not gong to sweat it even if a repack showed up. It's very small to me, but I'm struggling to tell for sure. Video is nice, but some of the night scenes are a bit dark. This is a movie I only discovered last night and considering how early of a release, nothing but props to you Pukka.

V-8.5
A-8
M-9

looks great film well worth waiting for scr / R5 or dvdrip

V- 7
A-5 its direct and ac3 but oos
F- 9

OK, I just finished watching, and this should be 100% NUKED. Do not watch this release; it will misrepresent a truly awesome movie.

This release cuts to the credits early, chopping off the last 30 seconds of the movie; and you DO NOT want to miss those 30 seconds, as there are a few spoken words that give the film solid closure.

For those of you who saw this in the theater, go ahead and skip right to the end of this release and you will realize what I'm talking about. We need to get this nuked, yes?

In addition to the chopped-off ending, the entire last 15 minutes of the movie has been reordered, changing the true chronology of events. I wouldn't be surprised if this telecine was made from a workprint.

Sync issues aside I can confirm this is missing a few scenes and some of the lines at the end of the movie are cut off.

looks like i will have to go to the cinema due to this new cinea protection, the future of screeners does not look good!!

yes it has sync issue 24m in on cd2,it has some really dark scenes wait for fix.

What a shame.

Gonna go to the pictures to watch anyway.

another nuke worthy release by pukka. this makes what, #9218431532 ? you'd think they'd get it right by now. they should just give their source to another group who can actually rip a movie properly.

Sync issues in cd 2 --checked it 1st--ruined it for me to watch-will wait- : (

I mean common when you are smashing someones head in with a bowling pin and the sound is 3 sec's off --ruins it

i dont know how people are honestly rate the video any higher than a 5...pixelated and such,
not even worth the status as a telecine. looks like a cam to me..lol

I sure hope there is a PROPER because the quality looks watchable to me, but of course a DVDSCR would be nice. I will wait to see if the sync issues are fixed and the missing scenes added before I download. I hope they hurry.

From sample and first rar of cd1:

V:8 very good for tc!
A:8 very nice again pukka!
M:-------- duhhh, seen only sample and 1 rar!

i cant tell thinggs about oos, because above!
i hope it's not a problem and hope they will repack or the dvd will be there with no problems....

MAD PROPS TO PUKKA......
for putting out yet ANOTHER out of sync release!

from what everyone else is saying i'll wait for a decent copy...the sync really isn't a major issue and can be easily fixed using VLC, but as far as the missing scenes and the cutoff on the credits goes that's something i don't think should be tolerated by anyone.

should be nuked.

PS: nothing in the scene is free. people work for their credits/downloads. p2p noobs can't complain, though.

I'll give you the part about it's not free to a point. I mean it costs more to head to your local movie then to download this. Yeah, I may pay for my downloads, but hey, I could blow that on a trip to McDonalds. I do understand some though have to wait all month for their Mom's to go into the basement and give them their mothly allowance. I don't like the missing parts, but you know there is way to much whining for some time now.

People are expecting way too much too soon, now.... with the rise of the mega uploading 'sites'. Noobs are getting things faster than many sceners now (if they pay or upload their porn for p.points LOL).......

New people do NOT appreciate what they're getting from the scene, now! That pisses me off!!! 2004 wasn't that long ago, but we were BLESSED with 2 nice ts of Spiderman 2 from videocd (1 was internal).... but now people/noobs expect some fucking r5 about a month after a movie comes out!!! And they actually have the balls to complain lol!!!

Should be Nuked

V 7
A 7
Movie 10/10

The reason that is should be nuked is that it has scenes missing. Now usually this wouldnt be a problem except that the scenes which are missing are pivitol to the plot and the ending.

i however dl the script so I have been able to fill in the blanks.

i thank pukka for releasing but even though picture and sound are excellent for a early release they should have checked what was missing!!

i don't think releases with sync issues and missing scenes should be allowed. i'm still waiting on a Things We Lost in the Fire proper. i was so glad to see this was out, but now i'll just delete it. it's not playing anywhere near me or i'd have already bought a ticket. somebody should proper this. our local film festival showed The Darjeeling Limited this week, so i finally got to see that one. do these groups even watch what they have before they send it out? hmm.

maybe you should actually try watching the movie and see how the scene cuts / glitches affect the plot before you label me as a "complainer"

it has a big effect on the movie as a whole, and that's the reason i posted my comments on the release, not to just rant about something that is insiginificant.

note: i just finished it, and i have no clue what happened because of the scene jumps. this is very significant and effects the entire movie, and in my opinion, is unwatchable.

I can agree with that. People are whining too much it seems. Some just don't realize that even 3 yrs ago we didn't have R5's to look forward to. It was all about the next great TS rls to hold us over til a dvdscr or dvdrip.... or maybe a REAL tc.

---

agreed, this movie is written like a play almost.
the scenes are very long and intricate. it's not just the words and dialogue that's missing though, it's significant emotional and meaningful events that are simply left out (i say this after talking to people who have seen the real deal).

now, what is there to appreciate about an amazing movie that is pretty much ruined because of a shotty release? not much. it's not about complaining and not appreciating it, and if you are a true movie lover, you will agree with me. it's not about it being free and people giving it no value. that has NOTHING to do with it. it has no value to me because it is incomplete and ruins the story.

if it were a top notch release with the entire story entact then i would definately appreciate it and be grateful for the groups hard work, but it's not.

Come the fuck on guys, This part of VCDQ is for
commenting on the Quality of a release. Plane and simple.
Be it Good or bad.

It really grinds my nads when i see people telling others..
"Stop whining, its Free" or "groups work hard for ....."

SHIT, if its a shit release SAY SO. its not Whining ffs.

If there's scenes missing, Say so
If there's sync problems, Say so

IT IS NOT, (and i repeat) NOT MOANING!!!!
to comment on such issues in this section of the forum.


In the same way praising a good release isn't Kissing ass or being a FanBoy.




On to this release:
If it wasn't for the slight Sync issue and the missing minutes
it would be an awesome TC.

Me hopes for a PROPPER, be it from PUKKA or whoever.

Everyone who wants to fix the out of sync error on cd2, this is how you do it:

You will need VirtualDubMod

1) Load the CD2 file into VDubMod

2) Click the VIDEO tab up the top and click DIRECT STREAM COPY, then click the OPTIONS tab and 'untick' 'sync to audio'
Then select STREAMS and then STREAM LIST. Right click on the Audio Stream (you will see it there with all details of the audio) and select INTERLEAVING then set the DELAY AUDIO TRACK BOX to -300 ms, then click OK and then OK again.

3) Lastly click the FILE tab up the top and select SAVE AS... and give the file a new name different from the original.
Thats, it, and it only takes a couple of minutes or less to save.

4) to check if it is insync, on your new file goto 26mins and 55seconds into cd2. On the original cd2 file when he is hammering the rod into the table the last tap is out of sync, if this is all insync then your whole CD2 will be fine.


Thats it.. thats how to fix the sync problem.


Now, again PUKKA has stuffed up and released a Nuke, as the guy said above me, but it can be fixed easily (it takes about 20 seconds, and less than 2 mins to resave) using the method above.

But overall once the movie is FIXED here is my review:

Movie: 8/10 - good story, an excellent movie, well worth the watch.
Audio: 7 (for a TS good)
Video: 8 (for a TS is really good)
(the above rating are based on a TS release).

If you dont want to wait for the PROPER r REPACK of this TS, then doing the above instructions will fix everything perfect for you, and a tip - you can even join the 2 files together if you like using an AVI Joiner.

Hope you find this tutorial fixes alot of you guyz problems
