TrIxT3r: Of course the movie is from march, typical release timeframe for a retail screener.

XeroFightsAlone: The copy I have seems fine, starts with the dreamworks intro then the movie.

Quality is good, not the best but I guess the nfo explains it. Sound is great, 7/9/2... but pho is right, I expected funnier from Mr. Rock. His standup dvd's are hilarious, both Bigger & Blacker and that other one before it.

Posted by flipp0r on 06-20-2003 07:43 AM:

bit of flicker at the top of the screen.
audio is great though.
ty TCF. Been waiting for this

The flicker is quite distracting at the top of the screen
7/8/6 Funny in bits

Posted by aXs-SVCD on 06-20-2003 09:25 AM:

it looks good for a VHS rip, sounds is crisp and Video is not bad!!

worth downloading, but i will wait till DVDRiP comes out

*From Sample*

Another screener from TCF.Not the greatest of films,but then i don't find Chris rock to be all that funny at all.
Video 7 bit blurred but still good
audio 9 very very good
film 4 poor.
All in all props to TCF releasing some very good screeners recently.

What a waste!

What I don't understand is these so called groups should know how to rip. For a 2 disc set. They could have pump the quality up to a file size of 1580 instead of 930 or what ever it was.
Don't get me wrong. I do appreciate the effort. But 460 meg per cd is not going to give good quality.

We need to score these rips according to the the source.
Centropy's TS version has better picture.
And they got an 8 on video.

When you rip a vhs. The playback should look almost as good as the original

Lets get real with the scoring

5/6/6

Posted by Le0n on 06-20-2003 04:12 PM:

You might think that, but this is VCD not SVCD, that's why it mgiht not be as good as it could be, but some groups prefer to rls in vcd. The quality might have only barely improved using on an svcd, another reason for vcd.

Posted by upur0 on 06-20-2003 06:07 PM:

got sample. pretty decent pic/sound. not that good of a movie. 7/8/6. i will stick to my ctp ts on this one, i don't like this movie enough to upgrade to the screener when the ctp quality was good enough for me.

Posted by daizepam on 06-20-2003 08:30 PM:

God help us all if TCF didn't know how to rip. :P

Posted by CcZ on 06-20-2003 08:54 PM:

I watched the sample and these are my thoughts on it...This time, the sound is better than the video. Compared with the CTP, I'd get this...it doesn't have any funky angle and it's not grainy...however, it is a bit blurry...6.5/7/x

Posted by gokou on 06-20-2003 09:19 PM:

7/7/7

Posted by Neversoft on 06-20-2003 10:11 PM:

Looks fine to me, but personally I don't rate the movie enough to care about this version. The CTP version was good enough to tell that the movie sucked.

Why do so many decent comedy's turn to shit towards the end? I liked sorta Bruce Almighty too, but almost puked when it finished... Tossers!

6/8/4

Posted by altimas on 06-20-2003 11:27 PM:

Looks good for VHS. Btw VCD stands for video cd. It's about equal to a vhs ya know. VHS aren't really that clean to begin with. I almost prefer svcd TS(done right) to screeners since they are often cleaner now adays.

Durrr. Cheers for that, the rest of the forum thanks you for enlightening us. Did you know that "CD" stands for "Compact Disk" and the "S" in SVCD stands for "super"?

Also, the big "M" sign outside your employer's stands for "MacDonalds"

Um, the only person who needs to get real is you my friend (no pun intended, it just sounds catchy). Step back into "reality" for a second and realize that this is a VCD and those familiar with the format would know that compliant VCD's are CBR. With VBR encodes you can fiddle with video bitrate to stretch/decrease the filesize to whatever specified size, however VCD's use a constant video bitrate of 1150kbits. When in comparison to CTP's you have to compare other factors also, VBR MPEG2 vs. CBR MPEG1... dv res vs. analog vhs, sound, ts flicker, amount of image cropping, and angle? Play most SCREENERS on your standalone and you'll see that most do look like the "original" vhs. And already posted by another, GOD help us if TCF didn't know how to encode

With schooling newbie completed, back to this release, I'd give it a 7/9/2.

Posted by live2sk8 on 06-21-2003 02:36 AM:

Wow, TCF truly never rests. Just grabbed the sample of this one. I would say it is slightly better than CTP's TS release. Props to TCF on all the recent screeners.

7/7/8

IMO Chris Rock is hilarious.

Posted by djkoolaide on 06-21-2003 05:23 AM:

lol

ctp rls is still best

Posted by UltrA1 on 06-21-2003 06:26 AM:

Not Bad Quality Worth the Download.
TCF you now know to re do the quality next
time you see a super small file size Rite!

7 sound
7 video
7 Movie Funny but stupid, still worth my time, For Free MovieZ

Posted by Mouth_Full21 on 06-21-2003 02:50 PM:

ya this movie is kinda old huh... but i guess better late then never. the quality ain't bad.. just gets alittle pixelated in some parts but o'well.. not gonna download this in it's entirety anywats
8/7/3

LMFAO, On a serious note quality is decent, 7.5/8/? I'm afraid of watching it.

Posted by SycoCowz on 06-21-2003 07:15 PM:

8/7/9

plenty of good laughs

the reason I might just like it is I live in DC and caught a lot of the location gags
