the lack of 5.1/dts is a shame, but the fact its in 16x9 is welcome. will leave it a few days before grabbing, as xpd don't exactly have the best history on the "fucking things up" scale.

Lack of 5.1 or even DTS pretty much kills it....

Yeah the lack of 5.1 doesn't make it as appealing as it should be.

Best one yet though, but not worth another 4gb.

8/7/9

i d/ld the tc svcd and made the dvdr from that, dont see y this is needed but good job anyways

i got this and once i had thought this looks familiar?? but is it???

looks like the 3cd rls?

powerdvd says 5.1 english..?

i got the xpd sample .VOB and in the INFO within PowerDVD it says 5.1? so does it have 5.1 or 2.0?
other please check on this and see what i mean
TIA

Stick with the VideoCD 3 disc release/TELECINE (if you have them, if not grab this) - but otherwise i wouldn't waste the time and bandwith. As this release doesn't even have 5.1 and isn't the greatest.

8/8/9

i havent burned this and watched yet, but powerdvd does say it has dolby 5.1

It IS 5.1 sound! How about you actually HAVE the release before you start talking shit. Not the greatest picture but passable. Good release overall.

Video: 7
Sound: 9
Movie: 9

does this have 5.1 or not ?

ive been waiting for you all to say theres something wrong with it b4 i donwload lol

YEP DEF 5.1

sony amp says so

Fair enough if you have not downed the rel yet, but for those who already have it, why do you need to be told by your software dvd player/amp that it has 5.1??? why not try LISTENING to it, its not rocket science to hear if something is 5.1 or not.

Its the same deal when you get someone complaining - I have these 3 releases downloaded for the same movie, can someone tell me which is the best quality so I know which to keep, try LOOKING at it, surely it is better to have the one YOU think is best quality, not someone you dont know!!!!

Is there a menu on this at least?

judging from VOB sample

video - 8
compared to some of the recent telecines (harry potter 3, the day after tomorrow), this one has accurate colors and lighting, but is just *slightly* blurry, meaning the resolution of the objects could be a bit sharper. there is no motion blur, and no problems that i could see in the sample. definetely the best out so far. way better than the alliance rls.

audio - 10
5.1 ownage, sync'd perfectly

movie - 7
meh, i saw it in the theater... not as good as the first. but octo was awesome, theres a wet t-shirt scene with whats-her-slut, and the special effects are pretty stunning. i fucking hate that actor who plays Harry Osborn, he's totally bland / boring and going to ruin the 3rd one.

one very cool thing about the movie is you see a lot of Evil Dead influences (Sam Raimi directed Evil Dead 1, 2, 3 (aka: army of darkness). the evil dead series really setup raimi's style nowadays, and it definetely shows in this movie. seriously, watch evil dead 2 or 3 before watching this rip, you'll notice it too

retired from the scene, but still leechin!

Damn, never noticed the sound, though i only got the sample, and i usually use BSPlayer for Non DVD Stuff, and i dont have a 5.1 setup on my PC.

Has anyone listened to the whold thing on a proper 5.1 amp, is it a good mix, id maybe consider it if the sound was good.

Yes it has a menu, scene select and even a cute little XPD intro screen.

Audio: 10+ (Dolby Digital 5.1, whoever complained should get stuffed...According to this, its 384 Kbps which is good)
Video: 9 (Average of 4.5 Mbps, so says Powerdvd..Video is a bit blurry too, but still great for a dvdr.)
Movie: 10 (Loved it better than the first one)

Just watched the movie.. sorry folks but no way is that 5.1, the speech is coming out of all speakers, no positional sound effects, dont get me wrong it is nice quality sound but dont get excited its not dolby digital, even if it has been encoded as such.

Not too bad a release, But coulda been better. About the same picture quality as Harry Potter 3. Audio is nice & clear & yes, it is stereo, but not full 5.1

If you've got no other release, then this is worth getting to save you having to encode it into dvd yourself.

Meneu is pretty plain, just a jpeg with Play Movie & Scene Selection on it & with background music from the movie itself.

7/7/9

Really enjoyable movie. Looked amazing at the theatre, so go see it there first people! It's definately worth it

It's not my fault that they fucked their nfo up is it? No. And considering i have no interest in this release, i wasn't able to clarify/check to see if it actually was 5.1

Yeah I know, I was just pointing out that the people that were declaring 2 channel sound were getting their info from......well the nfo. Not your fault, just being as clear as possible. ;-)

just watched, this is really nice, reminds me of the tc of terminator 3 !


video - 9 "very nice"

sound 9 "little low in some spots, sounds like 5.1 to me !"

movie 10 "loved the first one loved this one"

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums.../spideyrate.jpg

mayby this will shut everyone up about what it is and what it isnt. its obvious that some here didnt bother to even get the sample, yet they somehow feel they can pull an opinion out of the air and try to tell the people who DO have it, whats up with it.

some people...

I dont post often but i have to say i watched the release and there is DD 5.1 those of you rating off the nfo and flaming based on the nfo should pull your head out of your ass and stop mongering in the forums. XPD put out a quality release its excellent high quality and well worth the DL. This far from retail a release like this is a keeper in and out. Cheers to XPD

Im still not sure if i should get this or not, can anyone who has watched the whole release on a proper 5.1 setup and knows what to listen for, verify this is a proper 5.1 encode and not just stereo to 5.1 which is what any cheap amp can do.

I put the sample on a CDRW and it doesn't sound like it to me, i hear very little seperation between the speakers, more of an ambient sound.

Cheers

My download of this just finished downloading, and i burnt it to DVDR, slipped it in my DVD Player and was amazed of the qaulity, its brilliant, at first i was a little wary about it as the preview clip on my pc didnt look good qaulity, but i took into account that i generally find my movies to look much better on a proper tv and not my monitor. Anyway i was correct as it was awesome qaulity. Only thing is im not convinced that there is 5.1 in this, as i dont have a 5.1 system, but its just the fact that at the start of the movie, on the title screen, the audio does exactly the same thing as on the alliance release, it like freezes for a couple of seconds and then carries on as normal, it also does go a little stuttery in places, but appart from that its great.

10/7/10!!

Hi there. Long term reader 1st time poster.

I've got the release and burnt it with nero from the image. It appears to work perfectly but wont play beyond chapter 7 on the various dvd players that i've tried it on. I dont usually have any problems with burning/watching releases.

I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions as to why this might be happening and what could be done to reslove it.

Many Thanks

Still nobody can comment on this as havig proper 5.1 sound.

Guess i'll just have to get it then to find out, i want to anyway now, saw this at the cinema last night, amazing film, and i hope this does have good 5.1 as the sound in the cinema was awesome, great panning and brilliant use of the Sub channel.

7 coasters in...i'm gonna throw in the towel :-D

Tried dvd dcrypter etc, extracted the files using iso buster and chapter 7 onwards just dont work, not even through the pc :-(.

I wish I only had to worry about 5.1 or not hehehe.

Me and my mate just watched this film on a proper audio system, but it isnt a DTS 5.1, its just dolby pro logic or Dolby Surround system. It was playing in a high pitched background sound all the way through almost, it got a little annoying, but nethermind, brilliant qaulity overall though, just the sound is a little dissapointing in my opinion, but not the worst

I stated way back that there is no way this is 5.1 and that statement still stands, for anyone who is still wondering, yes I have watched the whole thing all the way through on a standalone dvd player hooked up to dolby digital decoder. yes the little light comes on saying it is dolby, yes it says 5.1 384k when u watch it on a software dvd player but NO it is not 5.1 in any form whatsoever.

Does anybody else get the hiss in the background then what i get?

And the little 2 second freeze-repeat sound about 20 seconds in on the title credits?

overall good and i didnt notice an audio hiss.

sample was quite nice (tested it on my xbox using xbmc) shame there's no 5.1 in the sample to see what that sounds like but i'm getting it nonetheless...

how do ppl get 5.1 on there in the first place? do they just mix it themselves or, say, get it to send the front l/r output to the rear too? just a thought from a n00b or whatever i'm called these days...

just received the proper dvd rls. seems rather nice !

i don't have the problem with chapter 7 - been watching it on powerdvd skipping to and fro to the good bits. just gonna test it on the dvd player with the dd5.1 but i'm starting to agree with what ppl are saying about them mixing the tracks together to get the 5.1

hi, i got this release a while ago and have to say, the video is very good, although does seem a little blurry. The audio is good but as Mistar Muffin has said, is nothing as good as the Xvid Cartel copy, which has true 5.1 surround sound.

Out of curiosity Mistar Muffin, how did you sync and multiplex the audio with the dvdr video, i've been trying but running into quite a few problems.

Thanks for any help

8/8/9 Good Usuall TELECINE
