This isnt annoying at all shows up few and far between

great job obus

Posted by pjfan281 on 12-25-2003 06:24 PM:

annoying screech in audio at beginning part of cd two. other than that a good release. read the book, thought that was even better than the movie. movie kinda gave things away a bit faster

Posted by K-FurY on 12-26-2003 06:24 PM:

anyone else having problems playing OBUS releases on standalones? every one of their screeners i dl'ed so far played fucked up on my standalone, audio constantly skips, its weird, i usually dont have any problems like this with vcd's. everything they have released so far (that i have dl'ed) plays fucked up. anyways nice quality.

ON PC

8/8/?

ON STANDALONE (Mine anyways)
8/1/?

Posted by crackerjax on 12-26-2003 10:07 PM:

nice quality screener, thanks obus for all those releases ... keep 'em coming, I love screener season

8/8/8

Posted by houseman on 12-26-2003 11:14 PM:

Props to obus/ good release.
Just curious if anyone else had this "sound" issue when playing mystic river- every few mins ( 5-10) i would get sort of a loud "pop" noise and then the audio would seem to get lower.. and increase over time then "pop" again.. heh. i hope it was just me but at the same time it makes me wonder which part of my system is fubar.
Anyways , good release.

i've been having volume issues as well
picture is best i've seen from a scr in a little while

Posted by pjfan281 on 12-27-2003 04:28 AM:

my tv made a HUGE boom at one point, it sound like someone smashed my tv with a hammer. other than that and the 5 minutes of screech surrounding people taking in the first 5 orso minutes of cd2, the rls was good

great picture.sound was better than expected. very clear and loud. excellent movie..great unexepected ending. had me fooled..go see it. great job obus!

Posted by Astorian on 12-27-2003 07:39 PM:

8/7/9

Good picture. A few little intermittent squeaks/pops on the audio, nothing that makes it unwatchable though. Excellent movie. Has a great unexpected twist. One of the best films I've seen this year.

Posted by vinnyv07 on 12-28-2003 12:58 AM:

I have been waiting for this movie to come out with some really good quality for a while. I had trouble getting the other releases...one had some poor picture quality and the other had a sound problem. This release has a great picture... 7
The sound I noticed had a little bit of a hesitation to it at points and then it made a squeaking noise and at that point the voice would catch up to the characters mouths. Overall the best release of this movie by far. Should be up for best picture.
Video 7
Audio 7 -Good audio ...but as mentioned before a bit low ...and one part had a loud bang that scared the hell out of me.
Movie 9

Couldn't even get this to open in PowerDVD properly let alone my standalone. Demuxed in TMPGEnc, run both audio streams through BeSweet and remuxed - works fine now. Both mpgs were heavily padded which may have caused your standalone issues.

On quality: Vid-7.5/Aud-6.0 (must try harder for compatibility)/Movie-8.5

Posted by kid_rusher on 12-31-2003 08:56 PM:

the audio seems to be all fcked up.

Posted by Dupey on 12-31-2003 10:51 PM:

sucks

yeah this movie is pretty awesome too bad the screener totally sucks. The audio is okay but it still has that loud crackle sound every like 7 minutes during the movie, and cd 2 has much more pixelation then cd 1 and on cd 2 the first 5 minutes has this annoying loud hissing sound. The screeners these days suck and I am thinking of not downloading them at all and just waiting for a dvd screener or a dvd rip, because these damn vhs screeners are making the movies i watch suck. Quality does count! when you are watching a movie and unfortunatly the vhs screeners these days suck big time and ruins the movie in some cases.

Posted by crackerjax on 01-02-2004 10:07 PM:

nice to still see ppl who can't judge a movie for what it is ... bah, enough said ... if you don't like it, don't download it ... that's great, but keep the dumb shit to yourselves ...

note to others, don't let one opinion prevent you from downloading this release, is mos definately watchable, even with the huge audio fuck up in CD2, there is a large bang in the movie, scared the fuck outta me ...

Posted by teegee420 on 01-02-2004 11:36 PM:

Video was pretty damned good and probably the best I've seen of these OBUS screeners. The audio was just ok due to the frequent "pops". I nearly shat myself during the really loud one in disc 2. Enjoyed the movie quite a bit. There were some really great performances.

Video- 8
Audio- 6
Movie- 8

Posted by Vertrif on 01-03-2004 08:55 AM:

Great movie. Had no audio problems at all, played perfectly. Although there was 1 loud pop.. But that was it.. Can't complain about that, since it was like something just fell off the tv...

Posted by JNasty on 01-03-2004 04:38 PM:

Vid looks slightly washed other than that great release.

I thought the movie was the Sh*T!

7/7/9

Posted by I am X on 01-05-2004 02:38 AM:

I liked this movie, but don't think it's good enough to win any oscars. I thought it was good, but not quite THAT good. I think "Monster" was a much better movie than this. As far as the Obus release quality, as usual, it was good.

Video 8 / Audio 9 / Movie 7.5

a tip for encoders who want to make dvds from this when using vcd gear cue/bin-> dat file and dont enable toasting mode the dat file should be ok for tmpgenc

Posted by Sal1Man29 on 01-08-2004 12:40 AM:

Great sound and picture, Great movie in general. No wonder its on the imdb top 250.

Posted by Chaste on 01-08-2004 06:34 PM:

This release is S(X)VCD

Note the EXT directory on the disc, this is not compliant with my stand-alone or PowerDVD.

It can be viewed with WMP by opening the AVSEQ01.DAT file in the MPEGAV directory.

Vid quality aint too good on this, may be better on TV but can't even be bothered rigging up my SVHS cable for this.

I wish people would stick to SVCD releases that are complaint with all (or most) stand-alones.

Posted by 1010zeus0101 on 01-09-2004 02:37 AM:

hear, hear.

First of all, thanks goes to OBUS for even taking the time to release this. From here it goes south.

This would have been a great release on SVCD. I know it was a VHS screener but why downgrade it even more to a VCD? I'd watch a VHS tape over a VCD release with bad sound any day.

It was nice to have it on 2 cd's yes but it was pixilated, not to bad. To much audio compression or something. A high pitched sound randomly, constantly in the background and it would get loud during a scene when the music or action was loud and or happening. I never even finished watching the movie.

Now I'm biased. I only burn SVCD's and author DVD's. My DVD player is biased to Im sure. The whinning wasnt as bad and could hardly be heard when I mounted it and watched it with PowerDVD 5, but the sound volume would go from normal to low at times.

It's the Quality not the Quantity man. Or in this case it would have been fine in the quantity of 3 SVCD's.

Now if all you do is watch VCD's on your computer and dont even have a DVD player then this VCD's for you.

Posted by teegee420 on 01-09-2004 03:09 AM:

I agree for the most part. The only group that produces good VHS to VCD screeners is TCF.

Posted by SleepysHell on 01-14-2004 10:48 PM:

audio - 7 kinda low
video - 7
movie - 9 good movie, directed by clint eastwood too, who woulda thought it would be good

Posted by teegee420 on 01-14-2004 10:54 PM:

Considering that Eastwood made "Unforgiven" I wasn't surprised at all.

Posted by kurisu on 01-15-2004 08:04 AM:

don't forget white hunter black heart, imho the best movie clintwood ever directed.

Posted by BLUE-NEO on 01-25-2004 10:17 AM:

Great Film Clint Eastwood..keep on directing...Sean Penn is a great actor..nice screener better than all the telesyncs..

8/8/8
