Interplaced means what ?
If it means interlaced then it dont matter as it will still burn to disc to play on standalone DVD

8/9/8

lol wtf interplaced?

anyways....this is definitly not a nuke. It´s veryy good for a ts cam

Cam so not to sharp video but it´s really watchable, bit dark sometimes but still. Sound is real nice imho.

9,considering cam, 9,5

ok...so maybe the site ment "interlaced" idk....i downloaded it anyways...just a bit dark, audio is great

interplaced ? maybe it means that some part of film are not placed on cdr-s in the right position?

Sample looks ok... although i wanted to see what was out the window!

Video, looked like it had had some gamma changes. Pitcure is, as said above, blotchy, but the colors look mid-ok.

Sample was dark, but as a lot of the film is inside that room, i could see it being annoying.

Will probably wait for a better one, but this one's fairly watchable.

6/7/?

THE KIDS HIGH nice rls burns fine plays fine


5.5/7/4 movie was sorta stupid ending sucks the audio sounded like it, i dont know just hard to hear in some parts. could be my tv could be me ..feedback helps

from the sample you can't really tell too much in terms of video.. idk why they picked such a dark scene.. but audio is not bad.. and video is not bad.. i would think in brighter scenes it would be very watchable

Notes:

As we all can see the Frame Type is Progressive. So this release is NOT a nuke. Just prolly been sheep nuked just wish ppl would check for themselves before nuking.

finally, a decent release from fbc ! lets hope this is a sign of things to come , as any improvement is welcome on their past releases.
video:6.5/audio:8/movie:9 one of the better movies i've watched in the past few weeks

The brightness fluctuates a little and a bit too dark. Pretty damn decent other than that. Audio sounds like a good direct source.

7/8/¿

This is def better than the cam,it just makes it into the *if you want to watch the film get this 1* if you are in no rush there will def be a better svcd t/s out of this soon .

7 / 8 / ? *ill give it a couple of days for better svcd.

The picture isn't very good at all, at least in my opinion, too zoomed in, and blurry. The sound on the other hand is very good, loud and clear. I would have to give this an 5 for video, 9 for sound, and have yet to watch the movie ?.

5/9/?

8/7/4.5 dont watch this movie if u dont have to, presonally i thought the plot was garbage and very predictible... good release by fbc though...

Not a bad release ... saw this movie at the theater and LOVED it, one of the best movies this year imo. Not bashing this release as it's very nice .. especially considering it's cough fbC .. but i was expecting something a little nicer by now

7/7.5/10

video is decent
audio is alright
7/7

just finished cd1. So far it gets 7/8.5 for pic/sound and thus far the movie is an 8, I like how the story is developing, will edit once I've seen the rest.

good release. best by far from them..keep up good work 7/7/7

Video is complete crap. Dark, grainy, cropped, no color. I give it a 3. It's worse than a CAM.

Sound is great. I give it a 8.

Movie: ?

picture doesn't look all that good, tbh. sure as fuck ain't got interlacing artifacts in the sample, and i'd have thought a motion scene like the car driving along would've showed it up.

The audio's pretty fine, but the video itself is only ok. And the AR is wrong, by my eyes.

5/8/?

Google, you fucktard

Not bad at all. Just finished going through cd1 and cd2 and I thought it was going to be crappy from some of the comments on here but it was really good for a cam. The sound can't get much better so at least an 8, and the video is definately watchable especially compared to all the other cams that have been out so far this year. At least 7 maybe 8 for video. Remember I'm rating this as a cam, and I don't usually grab cams but this is one of the best I've seen. I am still going to wait for a better copy just to burn for my dvd player but if you really want to see this right away it is definately worth it.

From sample 6/7/x

Will edit when i watch the whole movie....

um guys its not a cam its got dts audio synched, and i mean its really good, i love how loud it is, it sounds real nice. pic is not a 7, its not as nice as a maVen release video wise, maybe they could have done it as svcd.

6/9

A good solid release. The sound is great the picture is decent. The movie was good, it's always fun to looks at Kim Basinger.

7-9-8

Is it just me ,or have the curse words been edited. Sorta south park style. You hear it but you don't.

IE: "I don't give a f***"

6.5/9*/7

*=If in fact edited, it would be the first time I've seen it in a TS.

From scanning through the bins:

6/9/? - Nice release from fbC. Video could have been improved if they made it as svcd depending on their source. I think as long as groups cap their cams/ts to vcd they probably won't score high for video. Audio is top-notch though. So props to the chicks for that. Although there seems to be a slight sync problem in some parts when I scanned. No big deal. As for the movie I'm expecting this to be good so we will see.

whats the difference between this and Cellular.SVCD.TELESYNC.iNTERNAL-EwDp
is it worth getting that latter ?

EwDp release is not that good... kinda hollow audio sound.. seems more like a re-encode of the cam.. or same source as the FRA cam

LMZ

Decent rls..from this group...6/8/7

when converting to dvd cd1 and 2 went out of sync
using a 5ms audio delay seem to work for me

this release is watchable, i watched the whole thing w/ no complaints.

Video: 7 - not as clear as Maven's releases but its watchable and u can see what is going on.

Audio: 8 - Its clear, nothing is misunderstood, it is Direct Audio!

Movie: 8 - Very interesting movie, wasnt as predictable as i thought it would be, i really liked this one, it reminds me of Phonebooth in the sense that the guy cannot hang up because someones life is on the line. Its worth checking out!

Overall, nice release... though, picture quality could've been a little better.

Video - 6 (Better than FRA's release, but still a bit blurry and dark. It's completely watchable, just could've been better.)

Audio - 8 (Very good sound... loud and powerful. I did notice it occasionally going out of sync, but this is very slight.)

Movie - 6 (This one's worth watching. Pretty good movie.)

I guess it'll do for now.

i think a maven release would go down swell

As stated before the video was a little blury and dark at times. The real problem with this release is I noticed the end of CD1 and CD 2 are out of sync quite a bit. The movie itself I thought was pretty good.

IMO: Should have been nuked for sync problem.

V/7 A/5 M/7

I noticed that there is an anoying Sound like a horn every so many seconds anyone else have that or just me?

video is ok though

Nuke slight out of sync

Anyone that gave this movie a quality rating 8 or above has been spending too much time in front of the boob tube and needs to go to an eye examiner. Come on people this release was horrible.

The video was real dark, grainy and blurry... standard flicker... audio was out of synch and levels were too high, it also seemed cropped as many scenes the actors head were cut off...

Here should be the rating system... forget all the other formats the standard benchmarks are DVD, VHS and CAMs. Everyone in the world knows (at least on this forum) the difference between them.

DVD - 8-10
VHS - 5-7
CAM - 3-7


So this release compares to a crappy VHS tape... with bad audio

V - 5.5
A - 6
M - Movie looks good I am waiting for a better release so as not to torture myself with this crappy release.

This is actually not a bad movie. I thought it was very entertaining and kept me and my Lady on the edge of our seats. fbC did a pretty good job on this one, I thought. This is definately one of the best releases I have ever seen from them. The Video really isnt that good though. It's Very grainy and washed and I noticed Hella artifacts and macro-blocking in it,so its difficult to see during any scene that has some action or fast moving things but fortunately its still watchable. The Audio on the other hand is pretty darn good. It sounded very nice on my Home Theater System. I did, however, have a pretty good bit of out-of-syncness throughout the entire movie. I was constantly hitting the pause button and stopping and resuming trying to get the audio back in sync with the video. Anyhow, I still think this release is Very watchable indeed. The movie itself was actually pretty good too. Very suspenseful flick here yall. It should keep ya on the edge of your seat too!

ok rls to me i give it a 6/6/* havnt finished watching the whole movie yet

6/7/9 great movie. one of a kind..

Reality Is Only A State Of Mind...

i have this release and its watchable but quite blurry 5/6/-

video - 3. It's a mislabelled cam! one can see what is happening, but it just doesn't look good. plus it's a videocd, not SVCD, so they reduced the quality even more by using mpeg1. plus half the screen is cut off, they cut off Basinger's head! lol

audio - 9. I was positively surprised - very good audio, good volume level and NOT hollow. audio has TS quality

movie itself - 9. It's a great movie! very intelligent. I don't understand why so many people say it's bad. Maybe because most people watch it on the surface, instead of reading between the lines. In fact this movie is not about corrupt cops, trying to destroy the evidence, but about

a) coming off age - a young boy is guided into adulthood by a mature woman

b) about the breakdown of communication in advanced technological capitalist society, presented in ironic light, because a means of communication (a cellphone) is used throughout the film, but communication is not properly established notwithstanding this fact.

The same theme was at the centre of the Cellular's script writer's previous film - Phone Booth - remember? Was a great movie, and Cellular is worthy watching too. Don't miss it!

php, can you please go and look up the definition of a TS before you start going on about the video being mislabelled cam please.
