The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King - DVDRIP - Centropy

Anyways time to throw out the TC DVDR, Retail aint til May or so in the US, but nfo states "Ripped: Nada", well Retail DVD spec's arent released yet (March 8th will be official date) but are rumoured to be 3 documentaries (On the Set - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The Battle for Middle Earth and The Quest Fulfilled), 6 A Final Look at Middle-Earth Trilogy outtakes and bloopers, original theatrical trailers and TV spots, Annie Lennox's Into the West music video, EA's The Lord of the Rings Trilogy videogame preview, and a preview of the Special Extended DVD Edition. So were there no Extra's on the disc's, or were they removed, or not listed. Will edit when i check both disc's.

10/9/10

edit:: i and the large amount of other folks here are pissed off. we gave you many chances, then moved you to the retards section to stop you making shit posts and you still piss people off.

i had to remove this rls from the db and readd it because of you. and im still getting aggro from forum users who are pissed off with you.

we gave you a billion chances (dunno why because 99% of folks get banned straight away), but your doing everyone's head in.

banned.

lol!!!!!!!!!!!

anyways for the release: definitely looks good...can't tell if its truly untouched since the sample is low bitrate and does not get out of the 3-4 Mbps range...looks very decent though.

Audio is 448 Kbps AC 5.1 which also is not tested in the sample because it just a conversation. Sounds clear and has good vocal qualities.

movie-waiting for this release

9/9/?

one thing I am not looking forward to is: leeching 9 GBs

kidding

Is it possible to merge the 2 discs together so you can burn it on a 8.5GB DVDr when those come out?

Anyway nice and early release. I believe TTT DVDr was released only in May last year

Posted by K-FurY on 03-04-2004 03:02 AM:

the retail is 2 dvd9's, first disc movie, second disc extras, when they say nothing touched im guessing they mean they didnt downsample and just spread the movie (first disc) over 2 dvds.

bingo...

and if you want to wait for the Fall to burn them as one CD, I'm sure it will work...or you could just burn two DVDRs and save your time and pain...

From Sample

Video : Appears to be a good encode, nice colors and sharp picture.

Audio : The 5.1 sound is excellent on my Klipsch ProMedia's so its sure to sound even better on the home system. Crisp, clean and clear.

Thanks for the nice retail DVDR Centropy, shame about the SVCD rip though.

9/9/8

here's a link about Dual Layer DVD+RW's looks like Q2 2004 - http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/4999.cfm

I think the real question is going to be, will release groups embrace the new technology, or ignore it as they have DVD+R.

I think they'll -int the DVD9 releases or just release 2discs and have some patch to make a dvd9 img from the two discs.

Posted by porco556 on 03-04-2004 06:12 AM:

Release is perfect... That is if you don't mind swapping discs in the middle.

No point rating picture and audio as zero downsampling. Absolutely perfect in all aspects. Looked at first 25 mins of disc one, b-e-a-utiful...

Only buzz kill would be the chapter selection. Not sure how they did that. I guess I will find out in couple hours when I have it all downloaded But who cares! Does anyone actually use chapter select anyways?

This is a keeper for sure until the Extended Edition comes out in November (or when it is leaked and uploaded to us all). But that is a buyer for sure (the EE that is).

Good job Centropy!

Posted by plonk420 on 03-04-2004 07:30 AM:

are the disc splits anywhere similar to the TC's split? i'm kinda feeling like only downloading the last bit of the TC's D1 i've downloaded and downloading D2 of the DVDRip... (yeah, i'm crazy like that, but then again, i don't have unlimited credits )

Posted by sandvic on 03-04-2004 08:03 AM:

Yes, it's movie DVD9 split into 2 DVD5 (perfect release).

plonk420: I don't think its split the same way but if you don't have 9GB of credits to spare well...

Posted by ams30gts on 03-04-2004 10:31 AM:

nice rip ctp. looks like a good pre to me.

Posted by Zarkow on 03-04-2004 12:05 PM:

Since it's a clean release (non-decoded) giving it anything below v:10/s:10 is just...well... =)

Movie-rating: 10 (But I am a fantasy-buff also...)

Now let us just linger until Extended Ed. comes out...I'm gonna buy that puppy!

hmm perfect release, but i'll keep my Telecine DVD's, because Quality nearly the same and both english and german 5.1 sound, i don't care about the menu, or that the Title is russian

Why the HECK are they slpitting it to two discs?
I might as well download the SVCD if i want to change discs during the movie!!

The bitrate would still be more than good enough!

Friggin stupid. Hope someone PROPERS it. (cause thats what i would call it)

Nice Rip, Quality is perfect, They split the disks because a movie this long would look like crap on 1 disk. No one likes changing disks right in the middle of the movie but your gunna have to lump it until dual layor comes out.

Yeah, let's proper a perfect release with a lame quality and recompressed DVD5

Posted by Sonikku on 03-04-2004 03:31 PM:

Because its like 3 1/2 hours long? on one DVDR you'd be lucky to get 2 - 3MBPS average. If you don't like it get Centropy's SVCD TC. This 2 disc DVDR rls is perfect for me, since 2mbps video on an HDTV looks awful.

Pfft. It's a three and a half hour movie man, thats why. When the DVDScr of TTT was released last year with downsampled video so it fit on one disc, it was BARELY acceptable on the TV. On the computer screen there was some macroblocking and pixelization in high action sequences such as Helm's Deep, and it was thirty minutes shorter than ROTK. I agree with Centropy's decision to span this over two discs and leave everything untouched, the video would have looked pretty rank had they not. Yes its a slight pain to have to swap discs, but I think that is more than acceptable in order to have pristine audio and video. And the svcd? In case you havent checked its FOUR cds, and the bitrate is not nearly as good as a DVD. SVCD = ~2mbs while DVD = ~3-9mbs, with an average ~6mbs, depending. If you want it on one DVD-R then go get a copy of CCE and use a guide at doom9.org to do it yourself.

Having watched the first disc I rate this release:
10/10/10
(Untouched baby, remember that)

Agreed the a 1 DVD release may look ok on that chaps 14" portable but try watching it on a LCD TV or plasmas screen or even a decent 32" + widescreen TV and it would look awful compressed on 1 DVD

This is an excellant release superb quality

you could use dvd2one to join both the dvdr's. i did this with goodfellas as this was a double sided disc and this came out fine

Posted by bex on 03-04-2004 05:06 PM:

to stick this on one disc with 1 audio track no menu bitrate would be 2.7 think it would be nuked by the anal's

Posted by sYph0n on 03-04-2004 05:19 PM:

but whats the original source? DVD RIP means that it has to be ripped off an original DVD which is not possible cause the retail release is in june or august or something.

are extras on this discs? and how does the menu look like? self made or professional?

Posted by Muzak on 03-04-2004 05:47 PM:

it will be split on two dvd's when its out in stores too. the runtime is 201 minutes, 22 minutes longer than TTT. i imagine it will be like the TTT extended edition, which was 224 minutes long and split over two disks. just be an "insert disk two msg come up.

btw, ROTK's extended edition is going to be a whooping 250 minutes long!! cant wait for that.

Well, that extended edition also had a massive DTS track and 4 commentaries, but anyway..to not split this would be the epitome of dvdr idiocy

Posted by Lord_Sauron on 03-04-2004 07:34 PM:

SIGH

The Theatrical Version on DVD will be two discs just like usual...

Disc 1 - Movie - (and not much else, scene selection and that's it - the movie WILL NOT BE SPLIT OVER TWO DISCS...can't you see this from the menu)

Disc 2 will be several of the documentaries and other sctuff - Just like the last two times...

...Would I rather have had this downsampled a bit to fit on 1 DVDR - maybe - only maybe because I'm going to buy it anyway so right now I just want the complete movie looking NICE. Maybe someone will release and INTERNAL but it definatly won't be a PROPER

Video - 10
Audio - 9.5 I don't have the proper equipment - LOL
Movie - 10+

Best. Trilogy. Ever.

Posted by pHo on 03-04-2004 07:45 PM:

i learnt downloading dvdr's of LOTR the hard way.

i leeched practically every dvdr version out, in the end i had about 8 dvdr's of LOTR:TTT. then i bought the EE without watching one of them.

moral? pho is an idiot, do not listen to him ever.

It's perfect as is on 2 DVD-Rs. the bitrate for 1 DVD-R would not look that good especially on a bigger TV. this release will look super smoking on my 53" sony XBR

Syphon,

DVD RIP means exactly that. It comes from the retail dvd. Thats the point of these releases. In does not come out in stores until may or june. These groups get them early from where ever they get them from. Look in the dvd rip section of this the web site. All the dvd's are retail dvds damn near. And to your question about the menu. Its professional because its the real disk. If you could download it and test it you would be embarrassed by your posting. So it is exactly what you say in can not be. It comes from an original source. Thats what makes the scene great man. Learn the scene before you open your mouth. Your only embarrassing yourself.

Posted by Muzak on 03-05-2004 06:36 AM:

*sigh*

apparently, nfo's are useless to some people. time will bare me out, as the retail MOVIE will be split over 2 disks, with extras on a third or fourth. there is a reason why under ripped, which for the slower ones in the crowd is referring to the extras, it says "NADA!". that means, on the retail dvds, THE EXTRAS ARE NOT ON THE MOVIE DISKS. return of the king is the longest running of the 3 movies, by almost over 20 minutes. there are two movie disks with the retail, un extended edition. just sit back and wait kids.

Amazing that some people still moan about it being over 2 discs like they've been hard done by or something. Get a grip. Props to Centropy for a wonderful job. Perfect.

skynet and XeroFightsAlone: wrong thread... the SVCD was the one that was fucked up and propered, not the DVDR

anyways, I give this DVDR a 9/10/10, because for some reason the video looks a *little grainy*, if this is an untouched rip, this shouldn't be, but its definitly visible

Muzak,

Nope sorry, you are wrong. The retail for the MOVIE is one disk. Only the extended edition will be more than one disk for the MOVIE. Just sit and wait kid.

Posted by dekehead on 03-06-2004 06:03 AM:

Good job by Centropy as usual...

Personally, I cant comprehend the complaints about it being split to 2 discs. Then again, im one to be a stickler for quality. Not being able to confirm this quite yet, but for those whove watched the release, would someone be able to fill me in on where in the movie it was split? At what scene?

Im not worried about the decision, Im just curious.

Well, I just got off the phone with Peter Jackson asking him why my pirated early release of ROTK is so grainy even though it is untouched. Hehe, I am of course kidding...

You are right. The video is not great, but that is not Centropy's fault.

Reason is: Retail movie is only 1 dual layer disc. I am pretty sure it will be also in DTS along with DD5.1 and maybe even French 5.1.

201 (3h21min) minutes long movie in 7.8 gigs. Subtract all the menus and probably 2-3 audio tracks (including the DTS) and you're left with 6 gigs APPROX for the video. 49,152,000kbits for video over 12060 seconds = 4075kbit/sec video.

That is pretty weak for an original retail DVD (especially for a movie of this status). Most DVD-R releases hit about that or close to it.

So long story short, it is even a long for for a *gasp* DVD-9!! But what can you do. I personally am saving myself for the EE.

This is the best release we'll get until either Dual layer burners or the EE comes out!

Joke to others: I GOT A GREAT IDEA

Lets put the EXTRAs AND the MOVIE on one 4.38g DVD-R!!!! j/k of course

: unlikely there'll be a DTS track on the retail. its another selling point for the EE, plus uses up a lot of room.. afaik my standard edition FOTR doesn't have it, and neither does the TTT. could be wrong, but im 99% sure on this one. -pHo

Oh yeah, duh. They took a dual layer disc and re-encoded it to fit on two single layers. Duh.

On which scenes is this graininess evident? I certainly didn't spot it.

It was split after 'the seige of gondor'
disc 2 starts with 'shelob's lair'

the whole point of being 'untouched' is to NOT be re-encoded and in this case just cut the video first half on DVD1, second half on the other

The retail for the MOVIE is one disk.

This is proved by the fact that the chapter menu on DVD1 lists all the scenes (as if it were on one DVD in real life)

That may or may not be true, I have no real idea, but I do know one thing... When they release a DVD that is split, they do not make the split in the middle of a scene. Disk 2 starts right in the middle of a scene not even at a shot change. That is one thing that I most commonly protest. Please split them at a transition of some sort, preffed at a scene change, but I'll take whatever I can get. If it bothers me enough, I'll rip it to mpeg and edit it back together. I am glad that they left it as 2 disks, down sampling would have ruined it. To downsample this you might as well go all the way down to SVCD or 1/2 D1, but then the question of WHY?

All in all, this is a fantastic release!! Can't say that enough. Having watched the early telesync, and then the VHS screener, this by far tops them all!

is it just me or does anyone else notice a black line just above the bottom of the picture? possibly a faint one at the top too? only checked dvd 1 so far still have to unrar dvd 2

Posted by aragorn18PU on 03-08-2004 08:26 AM:

Clearing up confusion

Ok, just to clear up a few points.

1) When the full retail release comes out, the movie will only be on one disc. They announced today that it will only be a 2-disc release to come out on May 25th. This should have been obvious when you realize that Centropy split one DVD-9 into 2 DVD-5's.

2) There will be no DTS track on the theatrical release, which this is a rip of. They haven't had any DTS tracks on the other theatrical releases and I don't see them starting now.

3) just_h :: In response to your question, it's probably a problem with your brightness settings. In an anamorphic 2.35:1 movie, there are two sets of black bars. The set closest to the video is actually encoded into the video stream. The second set is added by your DVD player as you're playing the movie. This is, of course, assuming you are using a non-widescreen TV. To fix this you'll need to adjust your brightness settings. I would suggest a calibration disc to do it properly.

Hope this helps everybody.

Posted by Porthos on 03-09-2004 09:10 AM:

Nothing to complain about here...this will tie me over until the retail is released and then the extended edition.

Great to have you back Centropy!

yes it's possible, use DVD Decrypter to rip the DVD to your HD, then use DVD2One to compress it to 4.3GB then do the same with the second disc, then you'll be to burn them on a 8.5GB DVD-R

Try using a previous version... I know that's an issue with some later versions of 3.1.x - not exactly sure which though... I personally have never had a problem *knocks on wood* with version 3.1.3...

Is anyone else having problems watching this on a TV? I hooked my computer up to the TV with an S-Video cable to watch it last night and the voices are REALLY quiet compared to REALLY loud sound FX/music. Is it just because my TV speakers suck? Or is it because the sound in this DVD has not yet been optimized for home viewing (still optimized for the 10-channel audio system in cinemas)? The problem is greatly reduced while watching the movie on the computer using my computer speakers, for some reason. Anyone know why?

::If all you hooked up was your s-video cable to the TV, then I have a feeling I know why your TV wasn't very loud. -K::

I'm laughing so hard right now, no smiley face or acronym can express how I feel.

Is that new s-video 2.0 standard out yet? You know... the one that carries audio as well as video? Pfftt!!!

HEH

I'm not quite that stupid.

Plus I did say that the sound FX/music were REALLY loud, so I figured you'd know that I also connected the sound cables. Guess I was wrong, heh.

That's alright, since the sound levels are acceptable as I said when playing the movie on the computer. My computer monitor supports higher resolutions than my TV, anyhow.
