Nfo seems wrong. The describtion seems to be the one for the good girl with jennifer anistan.

From TCF's nfo

yeah only the plot is wrong, everything else is good in the nfo

Do you guys also notice btw that most good releases come from TCF? I always download releases from them blindly without having to check sample or this site..

Posted by Crackedtooth on 12-05-2002 12:46 AM:

ohter release seemed fine...
why proper ?

:: thats why you READ THE NFO.

Posted by crob on 12-05-2002 12:53 AM:

Should be nuked for a bad NFO - can anyone repack it?

ROFL, dumbest thing I've ever heard. Nukes are based on problems with the release itself not it's *.nfo. I could care less if the description was for pokemon as long as the svcd is compliant which conforms to scene standards, that's why rules are made and followed. And there IS a difference between 192kbit mpeg audio and 192kbit AC3 audio, it's not like comparing 2.9ghz and 3.0ghz cpu's like someone mentioned in the other thread. These aren't tomato/tomoto, they are apples and oranges.

I'm so happy sarcasm isn't lost on today's youth.... Well, apart from Vtec of course.

I enjoy KSiVCD's 5pass over TCF's 3pass. IMO

Posted by vorbis on 12-05-2002 01:41 AM:

seems a lame enough reason for a proper. they should really just let ksi repack it. if they're beaten they're beaten

Posted by m-drew on 12-05-2002 01:47 AM:

TCF comes through on the same day with a PROPER.

Mad PROPS to TCF.

Best SVCD Ripping group!

Posted by Jurai on 12-05-2002 02:34 AM:

the KSI release looks like cleaner video than the tcf, much less noise on the picture

Posted by Stillwater on 12-05-2002 02:52 AM:

i forgot that all posts on this site are based on how much of a group whore you are, not on actual quality, sorry for daring to speak against your tcf gods

Posted by bobbystill on 12-05-2002 03:55 AM:

thats stupid

Posted by djkoolaide on 12-05-2002 04:16 AM:

all they did was reencode the audio and remux it

It's a SCREENER who cares about 5 pass as long as it looks good, wait for a retail or internal for 5 pass archiving (or use your own words of wisdom, if you want perfection buy the DVD <- xXx thread, heh)

Compliancy isn't a lame reason for proper, if you've noticed alot of 192kbit rips are propered (Spider-Man anyone?) but for the sake of compliancy that is. Standards are made so the majority of rips will be able to play properly on the majority of dvd players. Let KSi repack? Does FLT wait for DEViANCE to do repacks and vice versa? LOL, if they mess up... they mess up... better luck next time.

ignorance, is that why their dvdr division released the DVDR? My.Big.Fat.Greek.Wedding.DVD.Screener.DVDR-BooZerS.

Here's my review from reviewing both samples (not jpegs): They both LOOK awesome, KSi's is a bit softer maybe due to the extra passes and higher video bitrate but too bad about the lower audio... TCF's looks a tad sharper but does display SLIGHT (barely noticeable on my comp) noise and better audio. In conclusion, download KSi's if you've already started and if your your player can handle 192kbit mpeg audio (don't get that confused with being able to playback 192kbit AC3 audio), otherwise I'd go for the TCF release for full compatibility and almost identical quality (the differences are so minimal). On a TV output, they'll both look superb since your television softens images anyway, you won't be able to tell the difference between rips... it's not like a 2CD versus 3CD release (i.e. xXx) and bitrate of both rips are fairly high enough to maintain high quality on a non action film.

I can't express my opinion on the release because I ACTUALLY watched both samples and they both look fairly identical? I'm still waiting for you to come out of your shell since I often read of you complaining about the smallest thing in every movie thread. At least be constructive, instead of blantant finger pointing. re-read my review, since I edited it after I watched the samples.

LMFAO! Nice to know I'm not the only person here who is both literate AND old enough to throw back a few cold ones at the local pub. I guess Sarcasm 101 isn't taught until sophomore year.

Note to Vtec-- very knowledgable (and lengthy) post you just made. But, here's a hint: if someone suggests a repack/nuke of a release because of a mistake in the nfo.... they're probably just KIDDING! and if someone says it's nice you came out of your shell... it ain't necessarily an ATTACK!

My Vtec rating: scene knowledge (9). grammar & spelling (10). social awareness (2).

LOL, that coming from a pissed off VideoCD member. Let's not even go there, I guess you're still mad at their latest nfo comments. check sample... basically same quality, hang me if I'm wrong.

my big fat greek wedding

IVE heard from many sources that this is a very good movie.

Ive heard it from people on the street, as well as reading reviews in the paper.

(Fact #1)

Did you know this movie was made in canada , toronto, ontario

Like right on ea!

So Anyway i never did bother to download a copy yet, but since this one has such a high ratting 9's i see i think the time has finally come for me to grab a copy.

I dont wanna read replys about the release, i only want your replys to the actual movie, did you like it or not and why?

feal free to reply. makes for a good topic of discussion.

Idiot. Just by LOOKING at the jpeg samples u can tell that they were both ripped differently. Ah yes, and the proper was released just hours later....had they wanted to rerip the entire audio, package it, reupload it......it would have taken them longer than that.

Posted by |sw1tch| on 12-08-2002 03:46 PM:

wow. it went from slobbing tcf's knob to wanting to chop it off.

Posted by SiKzNuGz on 12-15-2002 08:41 PM:

Quality of the two SCRs are almost the same TCF audio is 224 compared to 192 for Ksi but ksi has higher pass VBR. But overall the better audio of the tcf rls bets out the minor video improvement plus TCF has a well proven track record IMO.

Gr8 movie esspecially if you have a big greek/italian or spanish family. My GF beg'd me to get it and I thought it was going to be a chick flick from the title but it was real good and pretty funny (ez bonus points )
