Decent rls from UTi.

FS, could do with a bit of cropping. Bit dark in some areas, audio is not too bad at all. Very good for a cam.

Fuck paying to see this cash cow anyway. Get it for your kids for free.

7/8

bad AR I hear.


Posted by fleccy on 06-04-2004 02:15 PM:

nice pic excellent sound apart from at the end of the sample do you hear laughing?

7/6


Posted by st0ne2k4 on 06-04-2004 02:15 PM:

i'd say 6/7/x
nice video but should be cropped a bit..
clear sound
nice rls UTi


Posted by crackerjax on 06-04-2004 02:26 PM:

the AR is a little off, don't know if it'll get nuked for it ... it's only a CAM, and a pretty decent one at that. Watching CD1 now, and yes they could've cropped a bit, but it's good none the less ...

Pretty good sound, not too hollow, I think they must've went to a late night screening or something to get that little noice in the CAM, werd ... def props, we'll miss you if you leave, and we'll greet you more if you stay ... Hope to see more of your CAM's ... but good luck if you leave

-pz (so far, the rating is 7/6/ .... I let you know what I think of the movie after I watch it)


Posted by binx on 06-04-2004 02:26 PM:

not bad at all for 1st release........


Posted by mikeyrana on 06-04-2004 02:30 PM:

colours are a little better than the other version that is floating around (the one with the trailers), but i would say that overall not as good sound or picture quality.

besides cams are shit anyway

movies is ok, got dragged to see it yesterday with the family


Posted by st0ne2k4 on 06-04-2004 02:32 PM:

yes it has a bad AR but quality is ok
5.5/7/x


Posted by BACKUPSHOP on 06-04-2004 02:44 PM:

one of the best going round at this time
AR is a little off
dark in some areas
audio seem ok
video ok
u will be missed uti

7/6/8

Cash cow or not, if you're going to fork out money for the cinema you can do a lot worse than this. Its a really good film. Certainly better than the last 2. I would personally push for people to see this at their local moviehouse. ....if only for Hogwarts and the surrounding area which are stunning to look at on the big screen.

love the jpg.

to all the cunt nukers. if this is nuke, all other cams/ts needs to be nuked. no cam/ts can have correct ar, its almost just not possible. you all seem to have your panties up in a bunch.

is this uti version, better than the other cam that was floating around earlier in week ?

which wasnt listed anywhere.


Posted by XXXBoX on 06-04-2004 04:31 PM:

Just been upped to one of my sites, grabbed the sample an it seemed a tad dark! I was gonna go to the cinema to watch this today (its only £2.50 in the day) But now im grabbin this! anyways down to rating.............

6/6/x from sample, bit dark and sound isnt great good 1st rls tho

Finished watchin it and gotta say its not amazing. Its very watchable but dark, sound is good apart from the guy camming it kept coughing! The movie sorta lets the book down a little but most movies never live up to the book anyway! As for the Bad AR thing if you have a wide screen tv watch it in 16:9 an it stretches the picture so it looks perfectly fine. Even on standard TVs it doesnt look too bad an most new ones have a 16:9 button to compress the picture anyway so it shouldnt be a problem!

6/7.5/8

Side note: if you have downloaded the version thats in VOB format it isnt UTi's rls. That version has been floatin round torrent for a few days already and from what i hear its shit!

Edit!
My bad the UTi havent cammed this UTi have just encoded from the VOBs from the version floating around on BT! The only difference being the one from BT one had some trailers at the start! That sux!

agreed mate

Nuked all over the place for some bizarre reason. I saw the ratings for this and found that very weird.


Posted by sc0tsman on 06-04-2004 05:22 PM:

looks not bad for st rls, just running it thro my encoder @ 16.9 and it makes a massive diff

7/6/x


Posted by crackerjax on 06-04-2004 05:23 PM:

Thumbs down

Sheep Nuke, Sheep Nuke ....

This is a bogus nuke, first of all most sites don't allow CAM's anyways, so that might also be a reason, the AR is off, but that doesn't consitute a nuke by any means .... this sucks. Sheep Nukers Suck.

So instead of editing my review from earlier, I'll just put it in this post. It's a good copy for being out so early ... it's dark and the ar is a little off, but you can live with it being as it's free and you don't have to leave your house, and most it's not even in the theatre for most ppl .... so STFU

/end rant .... 7/6/9


Posted by xxvampyxx on 06-04-2004 05:46 PM:

not bad at all ....

6/6/x was going to flicks to see this .. but will watch it home now

Good Job UTi and getting it out fast...It's a nice cam...Hope you guys stick around......Will miss ya...

chris its a lot better

the first release had big bar on left hand side, and right side was zoomed to lose at least 30% of picture

this is better, but still a CAM

don't upset the kids, wait till version number 9 comes along

lol look at the sample pic on the front page... what the hell?


Posted by DoGGy on 06-04-2004 07:54 PM:

not bad for a cam video 7 sound 6, sad to see you guys leave anyways good luck in the future


Posted by parasiticgann on 06-04-2004 07:59 PM:

I saw the sample when I was at home, Its ok, not great, somewhat watchable, Since I may not have anyone to see it with I may just watch it anyway.


5x7x?


The video is fullscreen, Granted a ts can't have any kind of AR, but it is a little disconformed, or something.


Posted by MTV on 06-04-2004 08:17 PM:

Nice rls UTI.Better than 1st rls.Respect & Thanks for all your rls.

ByeBye from [OLC]OnLineCinema.


Posted by JustMe on 06-04-2004 08:41 PM:

As CAM's go, this is about as good as it gets.
Once again, UTi prove they are (were?) the king of CAM's.

Would just like to thank you guys for all your efforts in the past that go into your fine releases. You will be greatly missed, so please don't stay away from 'the scene' for too long....

I give this:

Video: 7
Audio: 6
Movie: 8 (much better than the previous ones!)


Posted by huggy on 06-04-2004 08:50 PM:

what a sad day it is for us. another reliable group departing when they've done so many good cams. Least you went out with a bang with this one. Many thanks for all your efforts and (i'm sure i say this for all of us)Take it easy and have a break then come back and join us. All the best

Harry.Potter.And.The.Prisoner.Of.Azkaban.CAM-UTi
Harry.Potter.And.The.Prisoner.Of.Azkaban.CAM-OLC

im downloading UTi's copy since i haven't heard of OLC, and can't find internal.dvdcam (if it even exists)


Posted by BLUE-NEO on 06-05-2004 07:27 AM:

nice work..at an angle a little if you see the bottom with the black line..but its pretty damn clear...quality is lovely for a cam and sound is real good.. Uti will remain the king of cams..

7/8/? Even though I like this..I'll give this copy to my little brother. And wait on a good 3 disc svcd telesync for my watching.

Did the movie just end with him flying off on the broom and then show a valley below him or am I missing some footage?

Depends which version you had mate, cos some folk in this forum had a different version to me.

The version i got is better than the UTI version without doubt


Posted by dalton4life on 06-05-2004 08:53 AM:

Not bad for a Cam but I've seen better. Typical Cam sound but it's clear. The video looks ok enought but it has really bad AR. It's wide screen stretched to full screen. That's more than just a little of IMO. When things that are supposed to circles look like ovals and TV almost look like squares instead of rectangle you know the AR is really bad. Now that can be fixed in TMPGenc in if you chose do so.

7/7/?

Well, it was okay all around. The video had the slight tilt, off center, washed out (my kids thought it was black and white hehe) and cropped. Sound is a hollow, so you have to pay extra attention. Movie - well, it's Harry Potter, it is what it is.

6.5/6/HP3


Posted by AngelDeath on 06-05-2004 09:09 AM:

Well I hate to see UTi part as well, alot of their cams were wonderful, this one I have to agree doesnt look like the UTi quality we have come to see and admire, very pixelated, even on a TV. but overall watchable for the first release.

Only complaint I have about the rls is that in CD1 I think when HP is walking down the hallway with the Maurders Map, if you notice the screen jumps to a scene with snape, I think there was a loss of about 30 seconds, maybe more or less, but other then that decent rls.

Video 5
Audio 5 (Would have given it a 7 but the coughing killed it)
Movie 6 (IMO not the best of the 3 as many reviews state).

Posted by Diabl0alone on 06-05-2004 11:00 AM:

Very good rls for a cam, excellent work UTi, it is a shame you are no longer doing this sort of thing, you have always had excellent rls's good luck to you all in your futures. As for rating this movie I will have to give it a 6.5/7/x


Posted by hutt on 06-05-2004 02:52 PM:

part missing?

Is it just me or does there seem to be a jump in the scece on disk 2 at the 5 minute 15 second mark?
It seems as though there is probably about 30 second missing???


Posted by Zorcerer on 06-05-2004 06:03 PM:

the first potter this year is very okich....
The camera men is coughing a few times throughout the film, a little bit of the left half of the screen is missing and the colors are in a degree not present. But this can be bettered on you r TV or with TMPGENC i guess.... Sound is overall very good for a CAM.
UTi has given us Potter first and good again!

7,5/8/9


Posted by Trenton_1 on 06-05-2004 09:20 PM:

Which copy is beter I have:

Harry.Potter.And.The.Prisoner.Of.Azkaban.INTERNAL.DVDCAM-Thebra1n.tar

Downloading now but I also see the Uti and OLC copies., so which copy is the best?


Posted by Heph on 06-06-2004 12:41 AM:

6/7/6

Not bad with some additional cropping, increased brightness and colors, and a AR fix.
I can see why the Bra1n DVDcam was internal
This is the best copy until we get a good TS.

Thanks UTi .. the kids got to see it ASAP

Well, If I had kids they'd hate my guts for making them watch this version instead of taking them to the theater.

I got this for myself because I already saw it in the theater and I'm a Potter movie fan... so I'm gonna keep getting all copies until one satisfies me until the dvd.

Your review of this copy is right on, though. I just disagree a little with the quality and I'm rating it a tad lower.

6/7/9 - As Ron would say.... "brilliant".

7/8/8

I'm rating this relative to other cams.

I have this playing on the TV right now, and and it's more than watchable. The audio is excellent and the video is adequate. Some AR/Cropping probs, but nothing that detracts much from the film.

(The major annoyances of hollow audio or colour flicker appear to be lacking.)

So, all in all a very good release, and I'm not sure if much will be gained waiting for a TS. (Unless major problems arise towards the end.)

Not bad at all for a CAM, thanx UTI! You will be missed.

Very easy to run it thru TMPGENC and fix both AR, brighten it abit (gamma correction) and YUV saturate to make it a bit more colorful.
