This movie roxxs i give it 9/10
Audio 4/10
Video 3/10 ( its a cam what did you expect ).

From the sample im impressed. Sounds pretty damn good and looks excellent too. I dont think you could have used a darker scene for the sample though lol. Sounds like DTS, going to pick this up now. Thanks VCDCentral

OK, Please Stop asking for Movies, and Go and find it.

Compared the sample (dunno why they chose a dark section of the film) with the cam release from POT and its much better, sound is clearer and video is sharper.

Me finks the original post of audio 4 video3 , that guy needs to lay of the weed for a while.

from the sample 7/7/?, getting it down now

it is a good release...real good and these guys did a good job but from watching beginning of cd1 i'm wondering if this maybe mislabled cam....just a really really good cam cuz u can clrly hear the guy making noise when the white intro thing comes up in the beginning

Judging from FULL RELEASE: looks like it was on an angle for a few seconds in the beginning after the computer symbol to the universal screen. But overall this looks great. And the sound is excellent. A little blurry at times. CD1 to CD2 is missing a big chunk of a fight scene between Helsing and Dracula also he ending was cut short about 2 mins of the ending not shown. Won't be a spoiler and say what. But it was included in the POT version. Really no need in this release the cam version is complete and the Videocd version is flawless video and sound.


On full release

6/8/? Incomplete Release.

Van.Helsing.PROPER.SVCD.Telesync-Videocd
is out now!!! Pick it up.

Quality Rating of Videocd Version
9/10/8 movie was great and this version was complete.
And its full english no french subs.

umm is it me or does the sound sound so hollow and screatchy? The pic looks nice, a little grainy, but overall seemed like it was a dark scene and had nice colors and not too much darnkess. There was no talking so i can't be to adept on the sound, ill have to get cd1 but if you ask me, this is a cam.


7/4/x

it is me, or that is totaly dark, blur ( very not sharp ), and totaly blue ..., seens movie in theater, and its not that blue
anyway, its not great ... sorry

Blurry or some kind of other distortion in the picture. Too much blue. Sound is fine.

6/7

Is this a differnt source than the POT release? Meaning it would have the whole ending intact. Please only answer this if u've seen BOTH rls and can compare them.. as i dont really feel like downloading the same copy twice, but would like a better copy...

well i warched this release and wasnt very impressed hopefully videoCD puts out one of their good TS at any rate id wait on a better release 5/5

Damn NO ENDING! *SNIFF*

Sound is cleaner then POT's , picture gets blocky at times & really dark. Hard to say if this is a CAM , sounds like they are plugging the mic in at the begging. Anyway ... missing footage between CD's ends one scene , CD2 starts at a complete different scene. Missing ending. POT was a CAM but at least movie was all there ....

/meh waits for PROPER.

Don't know were you get that 2 mins is missing on the end, I just watched both rls and there's only about maybe 15 to 30 sec missing of riding off in the distance.

Not 2 mins, unless your counting credits and even the pot release cuts off after the first couple of ending credits.

V7/A7

Video is grainy and dark from watching the sample- when the action is high speed (which happens a lot with those crazy nympho-vampires swooping around) you get some pixelation. The audio is quite decent though. Friends tell me the movie isnt all that good though, plotwise.

5/6/?

Enjoy
-Uncle Freeder

video blocky as hell during lightening flashes ( and theres a lot of them) and also during fast action both on pc and tv screen

audio pretty decent and no complaints there

movie ok if you like films that depend on action scenes but these get ruined by blocky effect

video 4

audio 6

movie 7 ( coz i like this kinda shit)

NUKED: 4:20pm Van.Helsing.SVCD.TS-VCDCentral Reason: missing.footage.between.CD's.&.missing.ending 16:05:51 09/05/2004

Damn...and I wanted to watch it

Just watched it!

Missing footage on CD1 & missing the last part of the ending - It's a shame because the quality was okay!!

Yup just finished watching this rls and theres several scenes missing checked it against the POT rls and it has all the scenes there so if you are gonna watch this movie grab POT rls over this one. POT also has the end credits unlike this rls, all that said and done both were of good watchable quality.

POT has scene on mountain going into village
Fight scene with Drac and Val
End Credits.

a bit dark for the picture...
sound is kinda hollow...
movie was good and the women in it are sexy...

best out sofar..
Video 6.1
Audio 6.6
Movie From theater 8.0

sounds pretty close to a CAM to me..I wish groups would actually WATCH their releases to make sure that they are complete instead of wasting time and saving us the amount of *propers* there will be

__________________

Alright enuff complaining ppl. IF u dont like it don't download it. This rls is definitely not a Cam job, geez.. The picture is steady albeit alil off color at times very clean. but get pixelated alot during heavy action and there is alot of it.. The Audio is def DTS sourced, almost direct, no hiss or distortion on the tv.. As for the movie, i was kinda disappointed. Not what i hoped for, but props to VCDCentral for coming back on board with an excellent SVCD TS..Believe it or not ppl we're luck groups are releasing anything at this point.. Its a worthy rls. Keep up the good work and welcome back

7.5/8/7

sound is very good picture only spoilt by noticable angle when subtitles etc (subtitles go off screen at angle) bits missing don't help.film looks great shame incomplete. video 5.5 sound 8 some baad pixilation especially when fast action.

How much of the film has subtitles? Is it crucial to the plot?
Just wondering cause if videocd release a copy there will be french subs so I wanna know what I would be missing.

To this release (checked the first rars from CD1 and 2) very noticeable angle with the screen off centre, the universal logo is on the left of the screen and not in the centre. Very pixelated, don't know how many passes they used in the rush to get this out but it can't of been many. Even the slightest movement causes so much pixelation it is unwatchable. Sound on the other hand doesn't seem too bad but I didn't have much to sample from.

If it wasn't for the extreme pixelation, and missing scenes then I would of probably got the full release but I think I will pass on this, might check out the POT cam.

still gonna wait for a proper on this one

missing scenes and ending arent wot i wanna hear!

video - better than the POT release, a lot more colourful and vibrant, i agree that it is hard to tell if its a CAM but there is a significant tilt (universal logo at start and during several subtitiled scenes during the film). pixellation isn't that bad either.

audio - very good, no problems at all really

movie - hmmm still pending didnt watch the whole thing after end of CD1 had missing scenes.

6/8/*

Not a bad TS , sound was a-ight. Vid was good but color came a went to often, also some major pixilation , during action sceens. As fot the movie it was entertaining but not great.

6/6/6

Yep 666

did you take a look at the german rls ?
or even at the same rls of the german one but dubbed french ?

and you know what it is wroten in nfo ?

ViDEO SOURCE...: VideoCD (THX!)
ViDEO FORMAT...: SVCD

- Exlusive Source von VideoCD (special thanks)

does it mean VideoCD comming out with a nice proper ?

Not to bad of a movie, kinda unhappy with the end. Kate beckinsale is hot, almost as hot as she was in underworld. Just watched the whole release, not bad but it was very washed out, blue and dark, then there was a few scenes with a lot of color (maybe this is the way the movie really is?) if they would have kept the color in the whole thing the way it is in some of cd2 then it would have been a much better release in my opnion. Sound is good, you can understand everything they say more or less. Just a tad to dark for this flick.

Oki. i got all 3 rls. The pot-cam is better than this VideoCD rls. this didnt need svcd,& weres the end ?? come on guys,if needed just stick pot s end on for all the ppl that d,loaded it & going to be pissed with you. Now the rls to grab is the VHS screener. no main group has claimed this YET ! but im sure when 1 of them grab it they will re encode & claim it. its been on bit toll for last 3 days & seems to be spreading ok. Quality is 10 xs better than any other rls.& in vcd format its only 1.3 gig d,load.There seems to be loads of fake xvid screeners going around - its the pot-cam renamed by some jerk !

pot- cam 7/ 6 / 8 <--- has ending

VideoCD 6 / 7 / 8 <-- doesnt have full ending.

VHS Screener 8 / 8 / 8 <-- quality.

I just skimmed through CD1 and CD2. The video is a bit dark but it's better that POTs. Sound is cleaner but Cam sounding. The missing scene between discs is like 20 seconds and nothing big. After he stabs Dracula they say a couple lines I don't understand anyway so no big deal to me. I looked at the ending and it was nothing important that was missing. Just him riding off into the sunset untill credits. In the POT version you get that plus people's heading in the way and of course applause.

I'm sure VideoCD's proper looks and sounds way better. They have owned the scened in terms of quality. But all their subs have been in french too. I'd pick this one over POTs though.

POT - sound hollow, picture is ok, complete movie, 5/5/7

VideoCD - good ts (tad greeny/brown in places but red/yellows are good), sound good and clean, good join between cd1 and cd2.

edit, there's THREE CD's to this... nfo says TWO! ??? 7/7/7

VCDCentral - from sample (they picked a dark scene with horses, carriage jumping a revene), good picture, sound is a little off (VideoCD's sound is best). (plus supposed to be from this board missing scene between cd1 and cd2, not sure of ending!) 6/6/7...

BTW, what's the deal withy VideoCD not having their releases listed on VCDQuality ?

This is a bit blurry. It's good enough for now but I hope a screener comes out soon.

shit, because vcdquality didn't post about the videocd release, I didn't learn about it in time, so I downloaded this one. Why isn't the videocd release posted on this site? It is on izonews!

this release is not that bad. admitted, there are a couple of minutes missing, but nothing special, you won't miss anything important or worth watching.

Video and audio are superb - both 8
Movie itself sux, just as I expected, there's waaay too much action, every couple of seconds something explodes. It's illogical too - read the forum on imdb.com - the people there are right, something is wrong throughout the movie, take for example the Frankenstein's monster flying through the air holding to a rope, and then somehow this rope hits Igor, standing on the bridge. The rope is in vertical position, while, when it hits Igor, it's in horizontal position, which makes no sense at all. I don't explain it very well, just pay attention to that scene, you'll notice what I mean.

Anyway, if you are a Kate Beckinsale fan, the movie is worth watching, cause she looks gorgeous. On the other hand, she's got a rather minor role and there are not many opportunities for her to show off her acting talent, esp., since it's of course an action movie, rather than a character focussed movie. It's just too predictable.

I also think it's stupid to use famous characters from romantic literature in Hollywood movies, it waters them down. It's the same bullshit as in "The league of extraordinary gentlemen".

Then again, I did love some of the allusions to famous Hollywood blockbusters, like James Bond and Aliens. That was funny. Indeed, there were some funny moments, like Mr. Hyde's nearly losing his trousers, exposing his ass to the camera, or Dracula's sudden and surprising changes from an evil character to a rather neurotic and insecure character. This also gives the movie a greater depth than you'd expect, looking at all those senseless explosions.

So my rating for the movie itself is 4

8/8/4

I have watched all three copies and the one to get is videocd.
VCDCentral did a good job but a few scenes were missing. And although those scenes are minor you would never know this if you haven't seen the whole thing. Videocd seems to be taking charge in the consistant quailty releases.

Van helsing

I m here. so Im just going to give a review with out all the technical dialogue.

Watch video cd version .

Video quality is 6.5 -7 at best very pixelated - watchable

extremely annoying audience. What was even worse. Having to watch the back of someone 's head dead center of the screen during the whole movie.


Audio would have been better without the audience.

couldnt really hear the film. Just a bunch of morons screaming throughout the entire movie.

Reason number one . Why I dont go to movie theatres.

The movie itself was cool. What I could hear. Reminded me of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen as far as CGI goes.

Kinda over did it on dracula & frankenstein.

No presence.

As to watching Christopher lee's piercing eyes. Where he didnt have to say a word. You were scared. Now thats horror.

Still over all good movie.

Watched both versions of Scooby 2.

beginnig credits breaks up . Disc 2 tends to freeze .

Will have to wait for better I suppose.

Props, on the rls, but I'll take the PROPER with no missing Footage, thanx

WOW !!!

Hello,
I'm new, but I see now, how excelent you are!!! Thanks for your hard work! Thanks for this movie!

Oh yeah - VideoCD rating

Another outstanding release! Picture was the weakest point, but it was definately watcheable and enjoyeable! Sound amazing...Movie itself an 8..
Thanks VideoCD for being the #1 QUality release group...
