-- Van Helsing *SVCD* - TELECINE - Chakra (http://forum.vcdq.com/showthread.php?threadid=41474)

Bring back the old TEG TCs !!!

6/7/x (TC standards)

well, dunno what your problem is, but the sample is excellent

just watched sample...

it's not bad. sure it's not close to the best TC ever but it is definately the best VH release so far.

9/9/1

This is a VHS screener?!?!? This is SUPERB for a VHS from the sample. Don't know if it has any b/w scenes but this is excellent. Obviously don't need anything else before a retail DVD comes out.

Wonderful work.

rated as a VHS (I didn't read nfo yet so assuming this to be VHS from the other posts):

9/9/7.5

ooops... i'm an idiot... LOL

I glanced at the previous post and saw VH... and a brain fart translated that to VHS.. not van helsing LOL

ok, I can't edit my last post since my post count is too small.

I'm even more impressed with this being a TC. Excellent clarity and color.

Since this is a TC i'm gonna do a 8/8 for video/sound but again it's hard to beat this.

well what can i say from sample it's very colourful and got sharp picture so all round pretty good release.
Ain't seen a telecine for awhile nice to see they still do exist lol

video 8
audio 9
movie 7 (was ok but seem to drag on abit)

hope to see telecine's of troy and day after tomorrow

Well, this is quite the nice telecine, and for sure the best release of Van Helsing out there, but doesn't match the theater, heh. I unlike a lot of people REALLY enjoyed this film, my wife walked out of the theater and said, "we are buying this one, I don't care what it costs" so I know she liked it =)

9/9/8

shitty shitty movie.
Seems that companies are still buying comic book titles and making them movies. It just doesnt work for some! like that peice of shit League of Extraordinary Men. Wow stop letting computer programs to write movies and plot lines.

I feel movies these days has just gotten to be a race for money and beating the box office. Some good movies have come out and are great, but it seems like more and more are being made that are just shit.

my 2 cents pz

I usually just read the forums but wow is all I can say hope we can see some more telecine from chakra soon cause I agree movies sucked major nuts but the quality of this release wont be any better until dvdr screener cause even a vhs screener dont think cant be it.

ahh, this is why i like to wait. very nice indeed. will do till i buy the dvd.

Lovely, Gorgeous, Magnificent....Should hold me off until a DVDR is released or until retail..
Thx. Chakra...

9/9/8 Movie was actually pretty decent..just ended to quick.

might holdoff depends on what the soundtrack is like on it no1 so far has actually said it's in dolby surround or anything so can someone confirm it ? i am happy with the last rls the sound was awesome

Havent watched the release but from the sample

9/8/?

definately gonna watch it. movie looks good

haha, Van Helsing definately wasn't slated to be the movie of the year, that's for sure ... but it served it's purpose, just as Hulk and Hellboy I suppose ... to make the loved comics come to life on the big screen, more for the kids to watch with their folks I suppose ... possibly something to promote family unity.

Not much for telecine's though ... I think I'll pass on this from looking at the sample. Nothing wrong with the release, just the fact that I'll simply wait for retail, it's the way I am on movies like this ... however if this was another Matrix, I'd be all over it.

From Sample ...
8/8/7, nothing beats retail

oh yeah, those other movies weren't too bad either, as long as you weren't really looking for a storyline, just some action scenes and good special effects

Rather good telecine, should hold off till retail. As for movie, it wasn't that great but neither was it bad so very average, I'd say.

9/9/6

Very nice TC along the lines/quality of a DvD screener.

I doubt a DvD rip ot screener could get better looks awesome on a pc and even better on a standalone.

More to come i hope.

Vid 9
Sound 8
Movie 7

A good telecine but I've seen better. Does this have the whole ending untill credits? That's what would make me want to download all of it since the VideoCD TS was good except it was a bit grainy and missing some of the ending.

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you encode this footage to about 4000 kbps and convert it to play on your standalone, it LITERALLY looks of the quality of a commerical DVD! You can NOT tell the difference! I showed it to a buddy of mine, and the 1st thing he said was "DAMN! Van Helsing's already been released on DVD!?!?!?!" I've never seen anything like this in terms of quality form a NON screener. This is only the 2nd time that I'll be giving a non commerical release a perfect 10 in quality, but I gotta do what I gotta do:

1. Video - 10
2. Audio - 10
3. Movie - 8.5

AMAZING.........

"The Matrix Reloaded"

Just watched the movie and as far as I'm concerned the quality is awsome.

I'd take this over a DVD screener with black and white sections and anti piracy text any day.

Download this, it will keep you happy until the DVD release.

For what its worth, I enjoyed the movie also.

9/9/8 for me!

Well done Chakra, Lets hope your sources can give us more TCs like this!

Sweet rel. Definitely best of what's available so far!

Not DVDSCR qual as some ppl say of course but still very good quality (and no nags, b/w or timecodes we're used from DVDSCR).

8/9/7

The video isn't perfect, but it is one of the best ts you will ever see for such a dark movie. If this group starts to release on a regular basis VideoCD better bring their "A" game every time or settle for second best.

dude its not a TS

a TeleCine machine copies the movie frame by frame off the reel so it should be of high quality

and this group is mostly releasing dvdrips

dont think it ever seen a Chakra TS...

good release but i've seen better tc done by chakra...imma keep this one over videocd cos it has the ending credits...lol

7.5/8/8.5

"The Matrix Reloaded"

An excellent Telecine of a terrible movie.. What more can i say..If you haven't got this already get this version...Its the best way to enjoy this terrible movie.LOL...Pic has excellent color and sound is fantastic...Enjoy


8.5/9/6

Wow. Very impressive, Great aspect ratio.

This is the first Telecine I've seen, and it's far superior to a SCREENER and probably the next best thing after a DVD rip.

Fantastic release which totally blew my expectations out of the water -in terms of quality for the video and sound.

Just like the guy above, my friends not familiar with the scene were wondering how it already came out to DVD.

10.10.7.5

This is very nice indeed we just need more of these and we will all be happy

Picture was very clear and the dark parts of the film were all so clear and you could make out the detail of things in the background and apart from some specs that appear hear and there (probly in the source and no diferent to what you would see in cinema's.

this is as near to perfect as you are going to get and untill a DVD Scr pops its head up get this. Thats of course aslong as there are no water marks, nag screens, B&W sections in the DVD Scr if so i will be sticking to this.

Audio sounds great on PC 5.1 and Stand alone 5.1

Movie it self rocks and is worthy of the trip to the cinema to watch

Rating:- Pic - 9 / Audio - 9 / Movie - 9.2

wow, this movie was terrible but glad to see a good TC....of a terrible movie...heh.

i cant remember now when CGI wasnt used to liven up a plot suitable to fans of children's teletubbies, let alone Frankenstein being suitable to star in a scooby doo mystery ...its a time where viewers crave blamless exploiting of good in all movies, having a nice quote, hollywood, unquote, ending to a blockbuster movie. cgi wasnt done as well as it could have been, and the mystical , demonic creatures that we all know and love as having that sheer realism that bram stoker's dracula tried to push into our minds...different generation so different audience...fast paced violence with a hint humor as to make it seem fun...so this movie may not have done well to all viewers. comic/action genre fans will like it, cause of the mindless action, but if they are also movie fans of other genres will sort of hate it, due to its cartoony characters and poor cgi depictions of what is to be terrifying not Broadway Musical Type Funny ....which is disturbing somewhat to an average viewer. so with that in mind , here are my votes for this year's worst or best movie..

avg viewer

7/7/4

viewer of today

8/8/7

enjoy

thaught this was the best copy out there Nice job chakra
Was one great action movie but as for horror...
was nice sound and very clear pic.. Thanks for kick butt rls
8/9/8

coulda swore i had voted on this one, anyway didnt grab any other release 4 this, i heard bad things about it so i never got it, but when a tc comes i have to grab them, despite the movie, now onto the movie, its is a very nice TC, nice sound, pretty good movie not the greatest, but worth a look on TC if u aint got it yet, so this is a 9/9/7

Havent seen movie yet but based on all the other previous posts there is a mixed bag of thoughts.....movies are all opinion based anyway...not all movies will be liked by all..

Judging by the first 5 mins of flick i would score 8/8/?

Nice to see a good few TC as the dvdscreeners have all but dried up

This movie just plain sucked. On a brighter note the quality of the rip was superb!

9/9/1 (the 1 is for the special effects choreography:-)
