from sample

I have been waiting on a TC or better on this flick, judging from sample this one is worth seeing. The audio seems hollow though, could be a lot better.

8.9/7/?

Posted by PistonHonda on 08-10-2006 01:54 AM:

Nice Job Asteroids. I'm hoping for the day when real TC's become early releases.

Based on the sample:

V: 9, Good color and contrast.

A: 8, clear and loud w/ good bass

M: 6, It was ok. They could've done alot more with it. The first two were definately better.

C'mon Asteroids, how about that Superman Returns? There still hasn't been a good release of that movie. Hope you read my email.

Posted by dre10g on 08-10-2006 01:54 AM:

WOW!
From sample it looks great!
9/7/9

Posted by pedantics on 08-10-2006 02:12 AM:

looks like a great video source... wish they'd had an AC3 audio source so we could have had 2 cds, though! the video bit rate aint doing this any favours... somewhat atifacty.

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/6369/xmenpd2.jpg

no audio in the scene after the end credits, though

8.5/7/?

this is a very nice surprise. eagerly awaiting the dvdr!

Posted by PRVzippy on 08-10-2006 02:47 AM:

Judging from the sample...

10/8/5

This is one of the best Telecines I have ever seen, especially considering the quality that we have seen recently. Coulours are perfect, but there does seem to be a tiny bit of motion blur (this is the only way that I can distinguish it from a DVD rip). Audio is pretty awesome too, although it would be this TC's weaker point. Sounds like a DTS rip, although perhaps encoded poorly. Still... no complaints here! Movie was a letdown though...

Posted by beosmr._x on 08-10-2006 03:13 AM:

706.27MB is not one CD. More later.

Audio is off-sync. Ahead by about .3 seconds, from my estimations.

Aspect ratio is off. More later.

Video is great, but the audio still sucks ass. Very FMish... But overall it's real good.

9.4 / 7.0 / 9

Posted by Wanderer22 on 08-10-2006 03:19 AM:

Damn... a real TC... How long since we've seen one of those? I almost forgot how good they looked, after all the mislabeled TS's we've been getting lately.

Posted by beosmr._x on 08-10-2006 03:51 AM:

Aspect ratio is off. Picard looks too skinny.

there's no sync issues. the audio is, however, heavily filtered and not the best.

and something's wrong with your monitor if you think the aspect's off. the video is near dvd source quality.

You're comparing a recent picture of the guy to a oldass picture of him from Star Trek??? AR looks fine to me.

Posted by Brat on 08-10-2006 05:57 AM:

Video is really good, but the audio suffers greatly. which makes me wonder if it took this long to get the great vid, why not wait one more day to get great audio too?

Posted by jbm666 on 08-10-2006 08:37 AM:

just got finished watching the whole release..

v: 9.5 - dvd quality nothing wrong with the AR
a: 7.5 - its a little hollow, but no sinc issues
m: i thought it was entertaining..

edit: @beosmr._x: stop flaiming the thread--5/15 posts is too much, and stop calling people newbs when you've only been here for a few months. watch the release, n00b.

Posted by z00mba on 08-10-2006 08:55 AM:

Very nice release... maVen's was already very good and I tought there won't be anything better until the DVDRiP, looks like I was wrong!

V: 9 - A real pleasure
A: 7 - Could have been better but still it's enjoyable with some equalizer tweaking.
M: 5 - Ep. 1 and specially 2 were much better!

Couldnt have said it any better myself except i gave the movie a 7.5. Great action , terrible liberties with the Xmen's fate. However, the final secs of the film after the credits have no audio, but the ending pic still beats what was previously availble only in PHONE cam lmfao!! Good to see ASTEROiDS preing again, now if they could just get a better audio guy the sky would be the limit. Im always impressed when they do the True Telecines right. Great Job ASTEROiDS

Posted by sportsfan99 on 08-10-2006 09:55 AM:

As a TC:

9/6/8

there is NOTHING wrong with the AR. Don't know why Beos is saying it's way off. And sync issues?? WTF...other than the audio is HEAVY on the bass it's in sync....Damn dude you got spyware or malware n crap. Clean your system out before you give your review of the next rls.

Posted by dragon26 on 08-10-2006 11:10 AM:

i was very suprised to hear that people are haviong synch isues, becuase ive just gone through the whole movie and looked very closley ...to have NO issues what so ever.

the mkovie is great, the audio in my opion is actually the same to mavens although you do need to turn the volume right up on my system to hear it, and the audio does cut out 1 minute from the end ..

and where did the video at the end go to? does the video only come on some cinema screens becuase i found this very weird that on mavnes realese that the video was near the end but had a good 2 minutes to show, yet nothing on here.

the video on this is near spot on.

oh by the way what the hell is the ar issue and thevcdq member showing a pic of pkard in his uniform what the hell does that prove ffs? if anyone shows bad ar issues then at least give an example and prove it.

a- 6 due to lose at end and had to turn volume up
m-8
v- 8 not bad at all

Posted by dontbegay on 08-10-2006 11:36 AM:

wtg asteroids !

video - 8.5 (a few compression artifacts but not bad at all)

audio - nearly a 7 (altho its clear, its lacking top end and is also very bassy)

cant say anything about sync issues as i have only watched the sample.

Posted by piet007 on 08-10-2006 11:38 AM:

Posted by Brisse on 08-10-2006 12:36 PM:

Nice TC very nice indeed.
The sound is not that good, doubt its direct.

V 9

A 7

M 8

I dont know what you mean when you say the end is missing sound, if have sound when the text is rolling, and it is in synch for me all the way.

I just listen to the sound through earphones, and it sound like its drivein audio, heavely filtered with, Adobe audition, cause the audioman is trying to remove static noise and has to mutch gain, and it makes a digital noise, everytime the static noise is removed.

I can see a thing here, first: The fast and the... second: X-men 3..
Third:?? Superman, pirates, mission imp3...

Posted by Merle on 08-10-2006 05:41 PM:

Looks like we still need TC's MAVEN, especially a TC from ASTEROIDS!!

v: 9
a: 7
m:?? watching this copy

Posted by Redemption1980 on 08-10-2006 07:48 PM:

Great copy, near DVD quality video.

Audio on the other hand is quite poor.

Might grab the DVDR as that is even better looking, and see if i can sync it with the Audio from Adywans XviD, that was clearer, and it was stereo, and upmixed well to 5.1.

9/6/?

That is quite possibly the funniest and stupidist thing I have ever seen posted.

v/9.5 Fancastic TC, crisp, clear and utterly watchable. maVens was good but...

a/7 Heavy filters, heavy low end, muddled dialog in some spots. But watchable compared to maVens awful sound sync issues whick kept me from watching that release.

m/4 Putting a new director on the third in a well established series, bad mistake. Story was chopped to hell, character development was laughable, returning characters seemed like different ppl. lol. Just shows what kind of influence a bad director can have on a good series.

this has flawless picture quality for a telecine but as already said about the audio letting it down.still,definately worth watching.

No way this is a TC from the video source...

no cigarette burns anywhere in there to show that it's from a film reel

Excellent video
Audio..... a bit rough but in synch
Movie - OK(ish)

Posted by Mailman on 08-10-2006 11:36 PM:

Is this release really needed, it's kind of dated at this point. It's been out for 3 months, so I'm betting Da Vinci Code will be the next telecine. Props to Asteroids, at least it wasn't AlGore's crappy film.

V-9

Da Vinci Code telecine was already done months ago, so NOT much chance of that one being done again

"Da Vinci Code telecine was already done months ago, so NOT much chance of that one being done again"

Yeah I know, I'm mainly refering to how we've had a flood of the same releases as of late. Do we really need 5 Telecines or DVDrips of Poseidon is just one example. I wasn't serious, I was mocking the release of another repeat release. You cost me bcool2k, now it doesn't seem as funny...darn the luck.

Posted by Diggler on 08-11-2006 12:58 AM:

V 10 (I really don't care about the nitpicking of the video. In my eyes it was as close to DVD as you will ever get.)

A 6 (Though the voices were very clear, even during the loud scenes, the warbling effect was just downright annoying)

M 9 (I presonally felt this is the best of the bunch and I did really enjoy the other 2)

okay, okay Maybe it is my file I downloaded. I got it off of usenet, maybe it was mis-labled? Here is the MD5 of mine, if someone knows they have the 'perfect' one then post your MD5 number.

Very nice release

Video quality is almost that of a dvd rip. For someone to rate this video a 5 is beyond me. For a TC I give it a 10 for video Sound is not that bad but could have been better.

ASTEROiDS awesome job

peeps stop bitching its free

Posted by vector_gfx on 08-11-2006 07:35 AM:

excellent video, subpar audio

Asteroids comes through with yet another excellent tc xvid... yet...

The audio... what can I say as not to offend... What the heck.. IT BLOWS!!

Don't get me wrong.. all 3 of these versions.. svcd, xvid and that pal recode have same bad audio... and it's totally listenableish... <-- my word don't steal.. it just takes the glory from such a BEAUTIFUL video and flushes it with a fury...

AND.. the audio cuts out before the final wake-up in the hospital!!!

V-9.5
A-6
M-8 (eh..)

edit: my ntsc recode using cce 1 pass OPV=1 min=2000 max=9000
AVISource("aster-tlstc.avi", False)
LanczosResize(720,360)
AddBorders(0,60,0,60)
Sharpen(0.1)

yielded 3.78 GB (4,067,097,068 bytes)
of PURE ntsc video beautifullness
looks way better than that royal PAL and again.. plays on those 'expensive' ntsc only players...

edit 2: HA! I spliced in that audio from Adywan's ending, the phone cam cap audio.. I HAVE MY FINAL HOSPITAL SCENE WITH AUDIO!! WOO WOO!! so lame....

regarding the audio on this rls stop" knit picking" its not that bad its a little heavy on the bass and when the music comes in its slightly jittery. netherless its the best rls by fucking miles ASTEROIDS has done a superb job & if you want perfection wait for the dvd-rls.

Um yeah, so i hope that is a typo with u saying cam audio, cuz FM is still direct source. And a six come one u guys are lucky to get anything at all. LOL. Also the final scene is completely irrelevant due the fact that if this is NOT the LAST stand they have some serious rework to do on removing powers and killing Xmen elite.

Posted by toddvj on 08-13-2006 08:18 AM:

As far as this release... Excellent Quality! Video is incredible for a TC. Audio: just turn down the bass and it's fine. Movie: Great! Better the second time around than the first.

9/7/9

Posted by frak on 08-13-2006 11:51 AM:

watched this on the TV..

Video is probably the best I've seen in a TC. Thing could pass as a dvd.

audio is a little pooched, not horrible, just sounds way too filtered and the lows are a little distorted, but the dialog is perfectly clear.

movie was decent, not a big fan of comic book movies.
