Anyone notice how pixelated that piracy warning was? Why reencoded it? It should have been removed anyway along with the WB logo. Also unused menu buttons not removed.

Not much in the way of features on this disc anyways just the theatrical trailer which has no sound!

As for the PAL or NTSC I really don't give a flying fuck. I have a PAL setup here that is capable of both and I never understand why so many people complain.

Not watched the rls yet so can't score it.

Posted by viggy on 09-22-2005 06:11 PM:

waiting on the NTSC

Im waiting on the NTSC version cause my "really expensive" DVD player who will remain nameless only plays the NTSC versions...
I guess its time to get another player... or learn if its at all possible to convert it or something =(

Anyhow, i have seen this movie in the theaters. Pretty well done, except for Katie Cruise/Holmes... I mean come on, Kate Beckinsale would have been perfect....

im done

My understanding is that PAL can sometimes suffer from a 4% speedup in audio. It's especially noticeable with music. Anyways--

I dont get why everyone says "Most TVs and DVD players nowdays will play both" because that is the most untrue statement I've ever heard... I have went through 5 dvd players in the past 2 years, trying to find one that plays both, and I have never found one. I also tried the DVD players on all 4 of the TVs in the house to make sure it wasnt just the TV.

NTSC is needed for those of us who cannot play PAL DVDs, so just shut the hell up and quit argueing about it... Just because your DVD plays both doesnt mean that everyone elses does also.

Anyways, I checked a sample out, it it was decient...

V: 9
A: 9 - 5.1... doesnt get much better, other than DTS...
M: n/a - Havent seen the full release yet...


Posted by EscorpionENS on 09-22-2005 10:44 PM:

Get a Philips DVP 642 or similar

By the way, Te cuality of the movie it's Great, i watched on teatres and i like it a lot, at my seen it's the best batman movie ever....

Can someone post the sub list please ?


Posted by inipi on 09-22-2005 11:09 PM:

Hi gang. Just a few quick points regarding PAL & NTSC. Both have their flaws. NTSC came first and has some issues regarding color hence tv technicians like to refer to it as "Never The Same Color". PAL fixed the color issues and has a noticibly higher resolution but a lower frame rate.
However, while a higher frame rate for NTSC is good for pure television content, it loses out to PAL for films. Film is 24 frames per second. NTSC is 30 (fractionally under in fact but never mind that...) frames per second. To turn 24 frames into 30 frames they have to use a telecine process that extrapolates 6 *fake* frames from the 24 *real* frames that make up each second of footage. It's actually quite a nasty kludge and can lead to noticable jerkyness in panning shots, although Americans are probably so used to this they wouldn't see it!
PAL on the other hand just needs to turn 24 frames per second into 25 frames per second. Easily done by slightly speeding up the movie by about 4%. Pitch correction is usually done on the audio as that also has to be speeded up slightly.
So as you can see there are issues with bringing a movie to either format.


Posted by Redemption1980 on 09-23-2005 01:42 AM:

On look another PAL/NTSC fight.

What people in Europe need to realise is, in the US very few DVD players play both, and as far as i know, no TV's can play PAL at all.

UK/Europe is different, most DVD players can convert PAL to NTSC and NTSC to PAL, and all new TV's can play back the raw signal.

A NTSC release is still needed as a PAL one being converted to NTSC by a cheap tacky player wont look as good as a proper NTSC encode as most Hardware convertions are crap.

Also cheap players might play everything, but the pic quality also is shit on a half decent sized TV.

Anyways release wise, pretty nice quality though not stunning.
Good sound too, even though its only 384k Bitrate.

Looks like a R2 Rental release to me and WB always uses low bitrate audio and quickly done menu's on them, but good enough for now.

Only prob is, why leave the trailer in, but cut the sound, and why is the trailer on the same vobs as the movie.

9/8/9

edit: also the German Menu's are still on here, an annoying but quite funny anti-download video and a trippy German thing with kids singing outside a jail, not sure if its another Piracy thing, anyways these should of all been ripped out beforehand, for 3-400mb extra on movie video.

And the source looks like a German Rental DVD

Very nice release. I could care less if its PAL or NTSC. Either or is just as good.

1 of the BEST movies to come out in awhile.


Posted by Viper400 on 09-23-2005 08:46 AM:

Great

This was a great flick. I do not understand or have the complete knowledge of Pal Vs NTSC. Being in Canada, my 5 Disc Sony dvd player might or might not be able to play PAL. I have never tried, I just use ifoedit and the hack. Every PAL I have tried to play works great. NERO, always gives me an error when burning, but I allow it to continue, and it works great. I have never noticed a reduced picture or sound quality.

As for the movie itself. It was great. This release is wonderful. I have been waiting for a dvd retail for ages now. I will be buying this movie when it comes out.

This movie saved the franchise without a question of a doubt. Finally, Batman returns to his roots. Great job to the group that released this flick, and my appreciation.

9/9/9

nice my dvd player plays PAL its called the Philips DVP642 you should invest in 1 aint expensive less yer a bum


Posted by Tempo on 09-23-2005 07:01 PM:

I can't beleive people are still debating PAL/NTSC. I am one of the many that have always had players that play both. BTW, Don't bother with Sony players(if your in NTSC regions), they will not play PAL. Don't know if their PAL market players will play NTSC. Just get a Pioneer, any Pioneer. I have a DV-563A, and it plays everything without a glitch. By far one of the best players for the buck.
Anyways, great release. Played just fine on my NTSC market Pioneer.

YOU CAN CHANGE PAL TO NTSC

You can change PAL to NTSC with Ifoedit.............


Posted by the___line on 09-24-2005 12:39 PM:

Two things that Scream screwed up


1. Anti Piracy Warning, but hey suppose they wanted to keep menus and keep the RETAIL, but still why bother thats atleast 30seconds of video and sound that could have been cut

2. Theatrical Trailer, dunno how many have noticed, but

Scream if you want to leave in a trailer, you might want to leave in the sound for it! They have stripped 2 channel audio, but left in a trailer which only has 2 channel audio, which makes the trailer totally useless and again more space being taken up

Props for the early release and the film is encoded fine with amazing 5.1 on the thing, so they have obviously done well on this, but still leaving in a trailer when you have stripped the sound is just plain silly!

9/9/10,

but can't help thinking they could have made a better encode if they had cut out all the extra stuff!

HAAHHAHAHAHAHAH. No. The philips DVP 642 which is around $50-$60 USD (I consider that cheap for a good dvd player) plays everything. Including xvid, divx, subs, svcd, dvdr, PAL, NTSC, etc etc etc. They even have firmware updates since they add new features to it.

It has svideo out, and component out, and digital audio out (optical and spdif).

Not exactly a low quality player. And it doesn't look like crap on a big screen.

Read reviews, there's almost no bad points about it other than it doesn't support some of the more archaic xvid/divx formats.

Of course if you are into HD movies, you will think anything that plays normal DVDs is crap resolution anyway

::EDIT:: This isn't a DVD player review thread you cocksuckers! - NS::


Posted by emilos on 09-25-2005 09:21 PM:

Its just typical American to complain about the NTSC/PAL thing. Scream released a PAL version. It was their choice, and there will proberly come a NTSC soon!

Posted by cyberderf on 09-28-2005 12:38 AM:

What? No extras but a soundless trailer ?

First, I might say I saw the 'Done' xvid version and it was super sharp, almost no difference at all with the DVDr on my TV screen. Welll... except you might say for some darks scenes when Katy (sorry i meaned Kate) is near the bridge of gotham and a lot of dust is in the air.

Personnaly I don't see the point of this release when you can have XVID rip. Except for those of us having an extra big screen, the extra 2 GB is luxury. Should the group release an DVD add-on with the extras?


Posted by TwinZ on 09-28-2005 09:33 AM:

dvd is done because they can. i myself only get xvid of screeners/TC but when it comes to retail i prefer dvdr. still think this is the movie of the year so far.


Posted by tfc on 09-28-2005 03:38 PM:

very nice release, been waiting for this for a while.

Video: 9
Audio: 9
Movie: 7 (still not as good as the original or sequel)

Posted by cyberderf on 09-28-2005 04:27 PM:

for sure this one is the best superhero movie since a long time, not to say a decade.

batman has finally recover the little extra that made him so mysterious and fascinating when the first movie came. thanks to charistmatic christian bale and sober but efficient realisation by chris nolan .

will definitely buy the dvd on october 10th!


any1 have seen this one on IMAX and wanna share their thoughts on it ?
