Too Nice for words. Audio is Fantastic, pic is even better. Movie itself has a grey/blue tint kinda like Payback does., there is nothing wrong with the color at all.

9.5/9.5/9

Best work to date

Posted by flex0r on 04-28-2003 07:31 PM:

Cool TCF = ;-)

well guys this looks fantasticly sharp and all, but i'm more surprised by the release moment than the release quality itself ;P
this is really great to see it out already, since i live in europe and it's not even in the cinema here yet
so now i have to watch this instead of wait some more weeks
well i don't have a problem with that at all
very nice release TCF, retail after 3 weeks is always appreciated.

9/9/?[hope it's as good as everyone says]


Posted by Crinus19m on 04-28-2003 07:35 PM:

Posted by Norco01 on 04-28-2003 08:34 PM:

9/9/6 - Awesome fast release by TCF, but this movie is far from a 9 or a 10, predictable ending, slow middle, even at only like 80 minutes long I still felt it was too long.


Posted by vcdkrew on 04-28-2003 08:41 PM:

the best dvd rip ive ever seen.

10/10/10 (honest opinion)

Posted by SVCD S.W.A.T. on 04-28-2003 09:15 PM:

D'huh! it's great quality. An 80 minute movie should fit into 1 CD. They made it 2 sure the quality is grate.

Btw, if you haven't noticed, it's PAL. Wouldnt' u wait for NTSC?


Posted by firefighter on 04-28-2003 09:26 PM:

Great Release! ... dont stop now TCF, keep em comming !

an 80 minute VCD would fit on 1CDR, an 80 minute DVDRIP SVCD would only fit on an 80 minute CDR only if the average bitrate was around 1167kbit which is unacceptable. Btw, Fsckin' great quality and it doesn't matter that it's PAL! My dvd players can handle it


Posted by SVCD S.W.A.T. on 04-28-2003 09:48 PM:

Dudes, this is *not* great quality. I just burned the sample and played on my TV. It's off aspect ratio. Yes the movie is 2.30:1 but the people are schetched out (they look fatter). The quality isnt that good, we see big muskitos pixels.

i see alotta straight 10's on here, and consider me another one

took me a few long hours to find, and i'm kicking my own ass for just getting the screener last week, but worth the wait / wasted discs for sure. i don't even see a retail date on imdb, so this must be uber early...

i'm a PAL fan as well, btw...

Get your tv/dvdplayer fixed. This release is nigh on perfect. Sound excellent, video excellent. Best an svcd can be. What makes you want to bad mouth it so much?

newb. how wrong you are.
perfect rip. it doesnt get any better in svcd form. this is the best svcd can get as far as a rip goes. (funny how you rate audio a 7, too. whats your reasoning for that? you want 5.1? not gonna happen on svcd.)

I guess you're not familiar with PAL and NTSC formats... There's nothing wrong with the aspect ratio.. IT's that the format is PAL.. I honestly wish two SVCD releases would be made when groups rip the dvd.. that way both sides of the atlantic would have the opportunity to watch the film without re-encoding the source and loosing quality in the process...

For those people that live in Europe/Asia maybe PAL is nice but for us folk that don't most NTSC TV's are not set up to convert PAL source to play properly on an NTSC TV... So for the north americaners who want to watch an SVCD rip on anything other than a computer then NO it's not better.. http://pt.zkiller.de/uploads/rant8.gif

His reasoning is that the SVCD rip is in PAL format and that it won't play correctly on NTSC TV sets...

I'm in California (North America , dur) with a... Pioneer DV-434/Apex AD-5131/Sony DVP-NS715P and all of them play PAL format (VCD/SVCD/XVCD) perfectly on every TV I've tried it on. Maybe older TV's don't convert them properly but I haven't had a problem since 1998.

Here is what you do on a apex to play pal movies

uh sorry to burst your bubble... no p/n button on Apex 1100w remote... any other ideas...

TV type is changeable Under the picture below

http://pt.zkiller.de/uploads/setup2-1m.jpg

where it says TV type you can choose Multi, PAL, or NTSC.. However, If i choose NTSC i see picture but with bad aspect ratio... IF i choose Palor Multi then i see black and white rotating lines like the screen is out of sync...

The reason they looked squished is because your DVD player is squishing the 576 vertical pixels of the PAL format into 480 pixels of the NTSC format (mine does it too).

That being said, this is a nice rip but I wouldn't give the video a 10 because even in the sample you can see blocks around the actors and in the background (but only on the PC screen).

9/10/?

and about seeing blocks around the actors in the movie on the pc?..im just guessing, but you might need to buy a new video card?... .....

im pretty sure it will play very sharp in my dvd player..


nice job tcf...this movie was a lil too overrated, but its was a pretty good movie..

this release gets my salty load too. hate to do it, but I gotta give it 10/10/10 Keifer Sutherland's voice sounds even more cooler when it's crystal clear, in my opinion this is the best movie so far this year, and this is a damn good release. only watched it on my tv so i can't say anything about blocks or whatever, and i didnt bother with the sample, just went straight for the whole thing

indeed, stop living in the past, if you honestly think NTSC offers better picture quality than PAL, then i'll pay for the eye test. All Sony TVs for a long long time have offered Multi-Sync capabilities, so you'll just have to pay for the extra quality for a change

I say tough. Invest in new equiptment. NTSC is crappy and outdated. Just because you can't get PAL sources to display correctly doesn't make NTSC immediately superior. The fact that your gear can't display it just proves how trashy and useless it is that the manufactures couldn't be bothered to include any/better PAL/PAL+ compatibility.

If this had been from an NTSC source, no-one would have complained. But because it's from something other than what the majority of people in here are used to, people complained. The rest of the world moved ahead with technology. Seems most of you didn't. Go buy new gear or quit whining.

NTSC sucks. Fuck it i'll take the fuckin Pepsi challenge on this one. Get over it. And i agree with what pHo said, gimme an eye test too. Sheesh.

I think you're taking my words a little too far... I'm not comparing standards set rather I was voicing that for those that have Televisions that CAN NOT display PAL then PAL is not superior because in order to watch a PAL movie on an NTSC television the dvd player will squash the vertical portion of the video... Unfortunately purchasing a new $4000 television doesn't happen everyday for myself, but it does for you then it must be nice to have that much disposable income... With that being said I'm sure TCF made a nice rip on this release unfortunately, though I guess I'll be missing out on this one


Posted by RichieRags on 04-29-2003 06:36 PM:

I bow my head to you, oh mighty TCF.

I mean, i love SVCD´s so much and everytime i grab any of your releases im in awe..... except for that fuck ya'll did on the 8Mile release... but hey, nobody's perfect eh?...

Definately my favorite group of all times.

This release is probably as good as SVCD gets. This is the third release im getting of this movie, and ill be darned if im not buying the DVD when its out too. Fantastic quality.

decent

i can deal with PAL, that i dont mind too much
but if your gonna max out the bitrate for an 81 minute movie...
do it all the way... make the images fit 80 min cds


ohh the chapters were a nice touch....
i think that should become standard issue anymore


Posted by bertieg on 04-29-2003 07:27 PM:

Stunning,guys just stunning.Both quality and speed.
Maybe some of you guys need new equipment all recent tvs and dvds here in the UK can convert ntsc to pal as standard.And pal quality is better.Blimey even encoding sofware gives you the option to convert from ntsc to pal more so than pal to ntsc.


Posted by pHo on 04-29-2003 07:51 PM:

hmm i was informed in the past that all sony tv's were multisync... maybe they changed their policy. as for me, i always check equipment is x-compatable with all the formats that i might utilise before i purchase it. its just something i think everyone should do, as their complaint is usually caused because they made the wrong choice in purchase.

If you max out the bitrate then some DVD players would not be able to take the bitrate and they could not play the release. Not saying mine has this problem, but I know some do.

Some people are just ignorant and/or they don't know how to read the *.nfo, this is probably why we have a dozens of newbie groups releasing newbie rips. But hey, can ya blame them? everyone has to learn somewhere

Posted by enchant on 05-02-2003 02:16 PM:

I'm getting the same results as S.W.A.T. - lots of pixellation. I've seen this before on SVCDs that I've downloaded. I figured that it was a lower quality conversion. You're saying that it's simply a difference in format? Is it my standalone player or my TV that is unable to handle the format? And is this something that I could simply re-convert with TMPGEnc?


Posted by likuid76 on 05-05-2003 12:20 AM:

i just started watching the movie today, but i guess i musta did something wrong because between cd1 and cd2 a lil bit of it is cut off... the captain says "i want to know..." then i gets a lil f'd up and i dont know what he wants to know now!!! ugh!!!!
besides that its a:
