Is this a copy of the uncopyable, uncrackable, unbeatable cinea-coded dvd screener?!?

Surely not! After all the work and money they've put into the format that simply cannot be broken and played on other dvd players!!

If so......

nice copy looks good not perfect but good and i`m sure the best until retail don`t quite understand why they didn`t blur out that number on the watermark i don`t know if they will be able to trace it back through that .

v/8
a/8
m/8

many have thought the cinea could just be fed through a video capture card, but i dont claim to know if this is encoded as such, but there is a disney watermark I havent seen before just below mid screen on the right side with a #7... hmm.... anyway the picture looks fantastic... THANK YOU for this FCiA, sound is great also... now I await a Harry Potter dvdscr or something besides the TS... but for Narnia this has to get a 9/9/7..

Verty nice rls, seems to be a very very slight green tinge around the edges of objects in the darker scenes (maybe caused by capping method ), but this is still a great rls. Thanks FCiA

8/8.5/8

Very surprised they didn't blur the logo, perhaps they changed the number from 6 to 7 instead

I'm about midway thru watching this & I gotta say, that watermark is barely noticeable after a few mins.

Every now & then 'BVI-NT' appears in the very bottom left of the picture & stays there for around 8 seconds. Not sure what it is, but again, it's not too distracting.

This a a great looking & sounding release that will defo do me until retail!

Overall:

Video 8 (because of watermark only)
Audio 7 only 2.0, but does sound good on all speakers
Movie 9 watched it in cinema & loved it!

JM

Watched the whole release. Watermark isn't too bad after a while. Picture is mastered weirdly with high contrast.

On the battle scenes there is a lot of clarity lost, almost as if this was captured using a video capture card or something.

And the aspect ratio is a bit screwed too, but nothing that XBMC can't fix.

Audio is set pretty low but has pretty full range so not too bad. But AC2.0 which is dissapointing for DVDSCR.

7/7/8

Splendid news.
Had a quick look. Good release but not without problems. Source problems mainly, which the group can't do much about. But problems all the same.

1 Stereo sound is slightly disappointing - I believe this screener is CineaPlayer-only. if the studios believed Cinea's system was bulletproof, you might have hoped they'd go the whole hog with 5.1 audio.

2 Watermark is rather big! But is a darkening overlay rather than an opaque counter or whatever which does help.

3 This ain't no DVD rip. Some artefacts do indicate that this has gone Digital -> Analogue -> Digital. So it is not a true digital copy, although I must say it's a belting effort in the circumstances. Let's hope for more where this came from.

Pic - 7 ( hard to rate as it's lousy by DVD standards - partway between TC and DVD in quality - but credit for the effort)

Audio - 9 (fine. Seems direct - no hiss or buzz, full dynamic range. Can't fathom how direct audio extraction could be done though so I'm impressed)

Film - 9 (I enjoyed it immensely and the kids haven't shut up about it since we saw it at the flicks. Maybe this will quieten the little bleeders til retail)

The RUSTLERS XViD release has been nuked for "unblurred serial." This one may suffer the same fate. Appears to be sourced from a PAL screener, since there is a FACT warning at the beginning of the disc. The greenish hue may be due to whatever process they used to re-encode it to get past the CineCode protection on the academy screener disc.

Video: 7 (green tint and watermarks)
Audio: 7 (AC3 2.0)
Movie: 8

Not too bad of a release. I watched the TS so that was good enough for me.

From sample: Watermark is really only visible on lighter scenes. Can the 7 be classed as a serial, because surely they sent out more than 7 copies of the disk. The video at some point seems to have been passed through an analogue source. Do we have Academy members who review for Oscars here in the UK? If not then this disk shouldn't have had CineCode protection. The audio is good, sounded fine through the 5.1 sound on my computer.

The film I was suprised by, I watched one afternoon when nothing else was on thinking it wasn't really my type but ended up enjoying it.

might be a B.A.F.T.A copy

You have BAFTA members. And i assume they get the same security features on their discs as the academy members. I could be completely wrong on that though.

Being that this is an analogue capture, it could of purely been captured PAL as the person who got hold of the DVD was in a PAL country.

Looks great to me considering where its from and will well do me, and the watermark isnt too bad, if i could manage History of Violence i can put up with this.

Audio is nice, 5.1 would be nice, but the 2.0 sounds good upmixed to 5.1.

Is this NTSC or PAL? The NFO reads NTSC but someone metioned in a earlier post that it was PAL.

Thanks

I've noticed nobodys mention this yet, but it's a widescreen release, encoding as a 4:3 Letterbox, which means to watch it on my widescreen tv, i've got to use the Cine mode. which loses some quality! Shame really!

wow!

Thankyou FCiA, great release!

Wow! And the watermark did little to bring down the overall quality of this fine release..
Video 9
Sound 9
film ? (watched 10%). looks interesting

Great Job, FCiA !

This did not deserve a Nuke maybe a reduction of a point for inaccurate nfo file

Not too bad. Watermark doesn't bother me. Good effort!

I didnt notice any sync issues??? and dont see this nuked for sync... It is finicky as skips a bit in my one dvd player and plays fine in another.. not sure why... but overall pretty good ( and no josh since im defending this release not being out of sync.. least i skimmed through about 30 minutes of it... im not fcia..)

Honestly this is an amazing copy....

For those who want a decent comparison....this ranks up there with the same type of quality of that Star Wars Ep III dvd "screener" that came out a while back.

amazing film


8.5/8/9


Go see this in the theater the first time you see it though.

I notice it has been nuked for "out of sync", no one has mentioned this, anyone watched it yet?

out of sync?

can anyone confirm this is out of sync? i have downloaded and was gonna watch over the weekend but i see its nuked now and nobody has mentioned it????

from waht ive seen

video 8 has green outline in some scenes
audio 8 seems fine from what ive seen from checking rars
movie n/a

tia

Few issues with this release.

First: Why is it in the 1.85:1 (approx) aspect ratio and not the 2.35:1 ratio presented for the theatrical release. The cropping is mainly noticable (or affected) during the end credits when some of the names are cropped off.

Second: How is the video untouched? This obviously not a direct digital rip. It is some sort of digital > analog > digital capture (hence the green tints). So it may be untouched from the capture but it is definetly not the same quality as the ACTUAL DVDScr.

Some say the xViD is crisper and sharper. I downlaoad the samples on both xVid's and this is definetly much clearer/sharper/cripser/better in general.

So far haven't noticed any sync issues. Will update when done watching full release on standalone.

V:8 (green tint is not a big issue, watermark is only bad in the light, snowy scenes, not 2.35:1 original aspect.)

A:9 very good but not DD 5.1

M:9 Very good. Saw it in theatres a few weeks ago and downloaded the maven TS. I enjoyed it a lot.


.:EDIT:.
Watched full release. No sync issues at all.
Also while watching this I was just thinking about the aspect ratio. Is it possible that it was cropped on the sides to get rid of any actual serial or tracker other than the "7" (which I highly doubt is the tracker). Disney would present it in its original aspect or in full screen. Even if they did decide to crop it and make it 1.85:1 they would have definetly made it so that they credits are obviously cropped. They actual movie does not make a difference. Another possiblity is that if this truly is a Digital > Analog capture, maybe whatever was used to capture was on some default setting to show they film in 16:9 (therefore cropping the sides to show in 16:9 but keep a good AR) and therefore was captured that why. Sorry for rambling so much. I just really find it hard to believe that it would be presented this way.

im still somewhat confused over this release... albeit the fact that TCs are used for DVDscr sometimes.... The opening to this has a warning about copying in a cinema... not the usual copyright $250,000 thing.... the opening (while mostly black still) has obvious TC static... though this does have the watermark and a random occuring mark on the bottom left (which i would think would cause a bust more than a disney 7) This is a TC, im sure of it, but it seems to also have been distributed by disney for screening purposes making it a screener and if pressed to dvd... well, yeah... this is what you get... its all good, and very quick considering usual times between show vs scr... all in all this is a TC captured by disney before finishing of a master tape for screening purposes... i cant see it any other way...

In no way its out of sync, viewd the whole thing.

Movie an 9.. Pretty impressive =)

Iammyself, the reason this looks like it does is because its an analogue capture as the DVD couldnt be ripped onto a PC like normal.
Also Iammyself, the DVD that will be released of this and every other DVD you will ever find to buy or rent or download, is a Telecine, how else do you think it makes it from Reel to DVD.

This is a fine release, and is a DVD Screener, worst thing about it is the fact its 4:3 Letterboxed and 1:85:1 ratio, but good enough for this early, and definetly watchable.

8/9/?
