*** PEOPLE IGNORING THE RULES WILL BE BANNED ***

from sample:

Picture is okay, but sound is really shitty. I guess it would be watchable, but since I have already seen it in the theater I will wait for a better copy for my 2nd viewing.

7/4/10

sounds like a cam to me!

pretty soft and flickery, and seemingly bad ar (as in, stretched). if you need to crop don't try and hide it.

best release so far though...

6.5/6.5/?

Have the film and looks good to me although the sound does get annoying! Therefore my rating will be:

8 For Picture
4 For Sound
? For Movie

definitely best release out.. as mentioned ^ a little flicker, audio is ok.. not too hollow. Looks ok on my 42" with a little adjusting / played with VLC media player

video: 7
audio: erm 7
movie: hilarious (in my country they would go crazy for these two... hmmm not so much)

This has already been nuked for CAM audio. Why can't release groups just be truthful? Oh well.

Can't see that it is CAM audio as you cannot hear any audience laughter. IMO its direct just not the best.

v 6
a 6

Video is not bad, very watchable. This sounds so much like a good flitered cam in audio. Distorted when trying to hide it, for a cam, it would've rocked.

V-7
A-6
M-6

I just watched the sample and it seems pretty decent to me, certainly watchable. The sound is okay, obviously it's not 5.1 or anything, but it's not got much hiss and there's certainly no audience laughter to be heard! The only copy worth downloading so far in my opinion!

Screenshots here: (They were snapped when the window was full screen at 1280x1024, but the shots didn't come out full size- thus will look a bit more grainy than this)

is there american subs in this ?

Is it just me, or are the parts that should be subtitled in english actualy subbed in spanish?
Apart from those scenes, which make viewing difficult, the movie is watchable, and an improvement from the camera effort.
V:7
A:5 cuz of the spanish subs
M:8 so far so good

it niiiiiice

good video but definitely muffled cam audio. Too bad.

You can mute out all the audience laughter you want, it still is cam audio.

V: 7
A: 4
M: 8

the subs are in another fucking language. thanks for not mentioning it in the nfo and not including any subs in the sample

7/5/8 slight flicker. audio could be better ,but is watchable

this isnt cam audio isnt the best direct but isnt cam you people dont know what your talkin about

v-8/a-5/m-?(Havent Finished Watching yet)

The audio is GREAT direct audio when you fix it!

I've seen this problem before, you just need to open the audio file with audacity or some other program and invert one of the channels. then it sounds nice and clear with the bass and stuff intact.
but of course you have to also use a program like virtual dub to put the fixed audio back into the .avi file.

V: 8
A: 10 (when fixed)

how do you do that?

I personally think this is direct audio, besides at around 2:26 you hear something like a cough...

but it could be line noise. which is heard alot the 1st 3 minutes, and then randomly throughout...

To think anyone would filter cam audio and then take the time to lower the volume and up it at random parts seems crazy... It sounds more like a bad fm signal or kinda like when a vhs tape gets a bit stretched and it causes spikes, or even a protected dvd running through a vhs that has macrovision protection... ill bet on FM wasnt tuned in right...

Seems like something was cut, 1ce at the 3-5 min mark and maybe something around 10-15 towards the end

the movie only had spanish subs (some added after the recording) but the pic is great, i didnt find the movie that great, but some parts are halarious, it was short, its could be better, if the english subs significantly add to the experience...

7.5/5/7

CAM audio, Direct Audio whatever. Another release of this should not have been done till the English forced Subs we're sorted.


Just mho, tell me to quack off.lol, but this release is for naught without ENG forced subs.

Rate this?? The same bloody Spanish source as the last .



Do you have a trouble with retardation? My sister show her Virgin....High 5

This would be half watchable if someone could make some englidh subs instead of the hardcoded spanish ones. Any offers to make some ?

V=6.0, -> for this docu-style movie it's good enough
A=3.5, sound horrible -> can't almost make something out of it.
M=?, hoping for a copy with better audio, so I can laugh.

Bottomline: I thinks it's a CAM with the audience sound filtered out.

<<< This should be nuked for incomplete, it skips a part in the beginning>>

You have to separate the left/right channels in Audacity, then select one of the channels, go to Effects->Invert. However, there's not a lot of point to this; inevitably when you have this sort of audio inversion it means that both channels are the same mono track, only one is inverted. (I think this is some sort of movie theater anti-piracy effort; works out great, huh? :P) You'll get a same-sounding result by using a custom channel mapping to play back the movie in, say, Media Player Classic. Just go to Options, select "Audio Switchers" on the left, then click "enable custom channel mapping. Pick check the Front Left and Front Right boxes under Channel 1 and uncheck the same boxes under Channel 2. Just remember to disable "custom channel mapping" after you're done with the movie.

the lack of english subs takes quite a bit away from the film.

v - 7 Not great, but perfectly watchable
a - 4 Ugh. Even if it IS direct, that doesn't change the fact that it's so muffled that you often have to strain to make out what's being said
m - 9 hi-la-ri-ous. In the theater. Without proper subs.... 6.5

English subtitles for Borat.TS.XViD-DiNATY (only when they are not speaking english. thanks to fredpeeps on revolutiontt)
download the .srt file then open VLC click file >> open file.
for the "open:" field click browse, locate the .avi file
click the checkbox "use a subtitles file" so its enabled
browse and locate the .srt file.
then press ok and it should play the movie with the subtitles.
btw, the audio also sounds like nice direct audio if you click audio >> audio device >> mono.

[b]Link changed to the ones mrtourture posted so people don't download the other one

Thanks, dug123! These are infinitely useful.

However, the subtitles look like a translation from Spanish to English and are quit shit in a couple places, like in the Running of the Jew. So, I've taken the liberty to fix them...

This is a direct transcription of the official movie subtitles, taken from the R.T.C. cam release. Enjoy!

Thanks guys i was just about to try to translate them myself

Makes sense. Thanks again for posting them -- the timings and such were very very useful. I just figured that since I had a version with the official subtitles, I might as well give'em a quick fix. =]

official is much better anyway. oh and when i said i preferred proper subtitles. i was talking about the one that you put posted

I'm wearing a "kick me" sign at the moment - this is my first cam download in several years after vowing I'd never watch one after seeing "In the Bedroom" butchered. Really, these things are brutal, just brutal. I can't see the point - I figured the movie was of a type that would not require good quality video to be appreciated, which was a stupid assumption and doesn't give the filmmaker credit, shame on me.

But, people, when you miss the subs and can't hear the dialogue and can't see the dark corners you are responsible for ruining the film for yourself.

Tell it like it is:

V: 2

A: 2

I realize I am not rating this relative to other releases, but the whole genre is an embarrassment. Have patience or go see the film in first run.

I'd like to point out that IMO it is pointless inverting the audio as there are still issues.

Firstly, if you are playing it back from your computer anyway then all you need do is use a program like VLC. There, under the audio menu, you can choose between stereo or reverse stereo, left or right mono. However, you will discover pretty soon that this doesn't solve the annoying problem of the volume fluctuating.

Don't waste your time making wav files and inverting stereo channels in Audacity as the results are no different to using the settings from within VLC, and it doesn't significanty improve the sound quality in this case.

Whoever did the audio on this was a pillock in charge of a noise gate. Without going into detail this ruins the audio and if you run the film through a limiter you'll hear exactly what is going on. There is a slight hiss which you'll hear whenever there is speech and then the audio cuts out very suddenly as soon as the speech stops. That is the noise gate. This causes issues with the volume that cannot be fixed. You can try some clever compression and limiting to try and smooth it out a bit but you may end up noticeing he gaps in the sound more and the hiss they were originally trying to eliminate.

To be honest, its a shame they didn't just leave itt because the hiss ain't all that bad (I've heard worse) and I think they've sacrificed mediocre to decent audio in search of perfection and mucked it up completely.

Why can't groups actually use people who know what they are doing when it comes to audio. It can make or break a release.

I think im gonna wait for a better release. The sound on this one really irritates me!
