hopefully this is just a switched nfo?

it's sad that a group the size of DzN can't get a decent .nfo gen to make it's own .nfo files so they don't have to worry about pre'ing with the right ones, that's pathetic.

another DzN bomb, why do they bother, sucky quality, could be more of a bitrate ... anywho, I'm going to try to finish this one up not the best movie.

How do u know if it's untouched? It's clear the nfo is hosed, so that part of the nfo could be wrong too.

Jeez, all those extras and a 1 DVD release? Columbia usually is better about these things.
Maybe they didn't see the money or interest in a "2 Disc Special Edition" of Big Fish.

Shame really.

extras list isn't that huge, are there times for the featurettes? some probably last a few mins at most, and a commentry takes up next to nothing. and a quiz? can't see that being at 5000kbit on the retail, so i wouldn't say this was a 2dvd job. heck, if i bought it and popped in the 2nd dvd and all there was staring at me were a few featurettes (probably of the same awesome viewing quality as most other featurettes. ie, late night tv free adveritising fodder) and a quiz, i'd be a bit miffed

I think the nfo isnt wrong...Been waiting to see this... Even though it aint good, i'll judge it when i see it!

Just got through watching this. It's a nice release, nothing special. Not sure whether I was hearing things but there seemed to be a bit of distortion in the audio? Picture was very nice though.

8/8/7

Good film, but not as dark as you'd expect from Burton.

BAH its fullscreen wtf

oh shut it I have it I think it may be the shit apex cause works ok on pc and dvd is suppose to be ws

Ya whatever DzN uses to make their DVDrs with does play the movie FS and subs come on sometimes too on my RCA dvd player. It's probably the 1click program they use. I just have to play them on my other player. (Sony)

authored incredibly poorly. subs didn't come up when they were supposed to (so i had to rewind the scene when i realised i was supposed to understand what they were saying) and even tho it played in correct AR, if i paused it and then restarted it'd be in FS for a second or so. also, at end of movie it simply stops rather than going back to menu (slight niggle, but a fault nonetheless)

can see an internal being done properly due to silly things like this, but i doubt it'll be propered. i'll probably buy it just for the commentry, cos it was bloody brilliant.

Hmm, I didn't get a single problem with the release on either standalone player or computer... That's pretty funky stuff. I guess I am just lucky

I wonder if there is a forced subtitle track for the Chinese speech. Guess we will have to see it on the retail. Makes no sense for them to cut that (would be ~2 megs on the DVD). But then again, I wouldn't be surprised if it was messed up. IF the chinese speech was on during regular subtitle track, then most likely there was not force subtitle track. Anyone know if there were subs in the theater for the diff lang speech?

However, doubt this was done with a 1 click proggy If it was, then these problems wouldn't be happening

The movie was pretty good actually... Little slow paced, but a decent Tim Burton meets Forest Gump kind of movie.

Any ideas how to fix the FS problem the menu loads WS but when you start playing its FS.

Wouldn't be the first time DzN put out a one-click rip thats works poorly, and the subs issue and the other issues make it seem as if it isnt untouched after all, otherwise it should be pretty much flawless unless they fucked up the stripping which is kinda hard even for DzN.

Yes I agree it should be nuked for a bad rip and no subtitles svcd is also missing subtitiles.

the subs are on the disc, they just don't appear automatically you have to turn them on yourself. however there's no dedicated track for just that section, so either it turns them on and off very quickly, or there's a missing subtrack.

I really don't care about the subs, didn't remember them being on the screener either. I love this movie and my rip was fine. Limited about of chapters and a second disc with the extras would be nice to see as well. Lets just hope it will come soon like the Matrix Revolutions did.

8/9/10

did anyone noticed that the text is cut off on the sides??
also it is FS :P

It's not actually FS I got it to play normal with xbox media player. But my dvd player plays it as fullscreen.

i care about the subs because it tells you part of the story!

and the fs problem is probably down to bad flags i guess, so some dvd players are fine some aren't.

the movie was great. there english subs worked fine the french one's were okay i guess, i didn't have them on long enough to see any problems i guess. the only problem was the text at the start was cut off on the sides. my dvd player (sony) played it as full-screen but on pc it was WS with the video switching to WS back and forth.

:P

i can't believe they wouldn't have shown that sequence subtitled in the cinema.. makes no sense to include a translation subtitled and then not to show anyone except the deaf :P without the subs, the scene makes very little sense, so the dvd is bound to have flags to turn them on at that point. otherwise its just dumb.

a lot of prints these days have no english onscreen text in order to ship the same print worldwide, the onsceen text is then displayed with switched subs. take Usual Suspects for example, because on the UK release at least, they bodged it up at the beginning (doesn't say 6 Months Earlier) , and i expect they've used the same method here.

I too was very disappointed when I saw that it was Fullscreen. I was thinking, why would anybody want FS except for those naive little kids or old people that don't realize what the black bars are really for. But then I read this thread and tried it on my PC and it really is Widescreen. I don't know why it does that my DVD player(Denon av700) plays the movie as fullscreen. Guess I will use my TV-out to watch this one.

the girls are speaking mandarin (from memory) whilst the guards are speaking korean, hence the lang changes. and u don't need a translation, just press the subs button at the right place, its not the fact the subs are missing its the fact they don't show up at the appropriate time.

I finally fixed my problem and was able to get widescreen on my DVD player. All the other DVD's I have played, which were all rentals, played widescreen automatically. This release of Bigfish was different. I was able to force widescreen by going into my video options and changing the display settings. I had to choose from:
4:3
4:3 LB
16:9 Widescreen

I switched over to 4:3 LB and voila! Bigfish is now forced to widescreen mode. Maybe this will help some of you who were stuck with Fullscreen.

: i expect you'll lose some resolution that way, but its a good temp fix for those with probs. -pHo

There wasn't any loss from what I could see. It was better than playing it through my TV-out, that's for sure.

Sorry about late entry but why hasent this release been nuked yet? The last chapter is missing. The film just stops and goes back to the menu and starts playing the film again. This is poor. Especialy when ur whole family is watching it and the film goes tits up on you!

played all the way thru for me. bad burn?

Played perfect for me... I was another victim of the 'FS' problem... Instead of forcing the movie to WS, i simply zoomed out one click, and it was fine for me... Granted, it was a tad smaller, but not enough to bother me.

Played fine for me too. I liked it a lot.
