Anyway - back to this. Image looks great but has anyone actually SEEN it yet?

The film starts in 1846 and ends in 1863 with the draft riots.
The setting is New York's five points, the most violent part of
the world at the time. The story is risen out of the conflicts
between the white Anglo-Saxon "natives" and the Irish
immigrants coming into the five points. One boy needs to avenge
the death of his father...

picture is good, but not very good
sound is excellent...

lets go for this one...


Posted by Scorpion on 01-03-2003 05:53 PM:

Very good quality... I think they should have made it an SVCD, judging by the "if it were svcd" sample.

Posted by ncaa76 on 01-03-2003 05:58 PM:

Question Good release

This is a great release from Tcs, I have been waiting for this; but I don't understand why they made it a VCD when there SVCD sample looks even better, why make a sample of a SVCD? O well maybe they will come out with one that is a SVCD DVD Screener.


Posted by m2nal on 01-03-2003 06:04 PM:

end of Dec is considered the end of oscar season because thats usually the deadline for contending movies to be released


Posted by alirddle on 01-03-2003 06:17 PM:

Well all of the movies have to be watched before we get a winner, so the studios send out DVDScreeners or VHS tapes of the movies to all previous academy award winners so that they can judge the film. I have watched many a good DVD screener from Oscar friends.


Posted by Phantasmical on 01-03-2003 06:21 PM:

Heh I thought they were in late January, woo hoo!

I really want to hold out for a DVD SCR of his movie, but im sure impatience willl get the better of me sooner or later


Posted by parasiticgann on 01-03-2003 06:31 PM:

Thumbs up Two words HOLY SHIT

I think i creamed my pants, I just woke up came to the site noticed this was on here. i can't believe it. I downloaded the sws version, that was unwatchable so i still havn't seen it. thanks tcf for releasing this screener.
LORD OF THE RINGS THE TWO TOWERS Has not been nomiated for an academy award, its been nominated for a golden globe award, two totally different things. well this day has rocked and i just got up, now all i gotta do is get laid, lol. yeah right. like i'm gonna get laid today.


Posted by DougieZero on 01-03-2003 06:49 PM:

NOTES: Removed all aggravating Property of watermarks enjoy! ...

I hope they didn't crop the release... Not to sound like the most anal fag in the world, but I saw this in the theatres and loved it!... I really want to see it in the true widescreen and proper aspect ratio... I don't care it it says "FOR YOUR CONSIDERAION" 4 times during the movie, better than taking a slice off the bottom.


Posted by sickdick on 01-03-2003 06:53 PM:

most of these dvd's aren't for the oscars, but for the golden globe awards...


Posted by Jc100 on 01-03-2003 06:53 PM:

WHy cant people shut up about TTT


Posted by parasiticgann on 01-03-2003 07:05 PM:

Thumbs up TTT and more TTT

Woah has anyone seen LOTR:TTT i just saw it again, i have seen it so many damn times now, it was like the best movie ever. woah, TTT, TTT, TTT, TTT, woah it rocks, Hello jc100 figured i would give you another reply about TTT. just messing. Actually i don't wanna talk about TTT anymore either, i wanna know when in the hell is Chicago coming out????????????????????????? catherine zeta jones is the best gal ever.

Can't wait to see this release, from what i can see so far (jpegs) it looks really good. i'll give my vote after i see the movie.


Posted by DeathChilde on 01-03-2003 07:16 PM:

Nice sample......audio rawkz...video ain't half bad...i personally like widescreen better anywayz....worth my time...but if the vcd is 3 parts...how big was the svcd...or did ya jus not feel like cuttin it down ta 2? heh

Disappointing film,was looking forward to it but it's let down by some poor casting in some of the more critical roles as well a bit of an alround mess.

way to go TcS! U keep the scene alive, more of these please!



:: *dvd* screener? ahem.


Posted by Jc100 on 01-03-2003 10:18 PM:

Here is my useful 2 cents... WHY O WHY DIDNT YOU DO THIS IN SVCD!!!!! The svcd sample looked near perfect. On the vcd, you see some artifacts. Im leech this whole movie, as im doing now.. But damn, Id love to watch the svcd of this. Ah well cant complain its free. My thought. Ill give you review on how it looks prob tomorrow as im gettin movie as we speak. Just viewed samples right now.

Thanks for a nice Friday present i been dying to see this!


Posted by Johnrx86 on 01-04-2003 03:32 AM:

its watchable but the movies pure shit
7/7/3
actual sound in the movie is terrible.


Posted by Ragin on 01-04-2003 04:05 AM:

The Pic looks good but like the majority, I'll have to wait for someone to post it on in the newsgroups so we can see what it really looks like and sounds like, I've been waiting for this one for a while...Thanks TcS

Ragin!!


Posted by K-FurY on 01-04-2003 05:53 AM:

just finished watching it. pic is great and sound is excellent. the movie was a bit disappointing tho, didnt like it as much as i expected. great rls, pick it up if u can. also in their nfo they said they removed the property marks, i dunno what they did to get them out but i did not notice any blurs or anything like that, anyways great rls, and quick too.

8/10/6.5


Posted by HuFFKING on 01-04-2003 06:04 AM:

good realese

Thanks Tcs once again good shit u guys have some good inside connections on screeners please realese catch me if u can and lord of the rings


Posted by Jc100 on 01-04-2003 06:24 AM:

Ok obviously most people here HAVENT seen the movie and just talk like they are leet. First, the picture isnt bad. Im not saying it is. I put the cd in my dvd player. It clearly appears to have artifacts. The movie looks like a shitty encode from a wonderful source. The colors are wonderful but the way it was done into vcd instead of svcd seriously affects the quality. The pic is slightly blocky and artifacts do appear. I mean by all means this is the best release out but if you havent leeched it, wait for either an svcd by this group, if they do one, or a dvd screener. I hope my opinion helped.


Posted by fluffykiwi on 01-04-2003 06:25 AM:

The video and audio quality of this is very good, but it's not dvd screener just vhs.
This is probably why they didnt release as svcd.
Also please note this is a long film and at SVCD quality would most likely have required 4 CDs, they probably felt the movie didnt warrant this.
It is well worth downloading anyway as the quality never spoils the viewing.
I'd give 7/7/? I dont think my opinion of the movie matters to anybody but me

Great job TcS.

*edit* In my opinion they didnt mess up the encoding and did a fine release.


Posted by KevN2002 on 01-04-2003 06:28 AM:

Well I just finished getting this one, but I probably wont watch it until the DVD screener comes out, in a few days most likely. Im sorry to hear that even a great VHS screener can be screwed up by crappy encoding.


Posted by KevN2002 on 01-04-2003 06:56 AM:

BTW WTF would you release a VCD with a SVCD sample? I really thank you for this nice release but really WTF are you thinking?


Posted by Ripper on 01-04-2003 07:07 AM:

Maybe they did the svcd sample for the film cause they wanted to show u what the svcd quality is like and since a lot of you moan about svcd most groups dont do it unless they have a exellent source
Personally i agree with a previous post regardin the quality of the colours is nice and the svcd sample looked better to me,but thats just my opinion,movie itself wasnt that great..

6/6/4.5

Ya, thats why it was pointless to make it 3 CD's when extracting the first CD led out to 394 MEGS!!!!

It boggles my mind why they couldnt fill up the rest of the space.... let alone 3 cds? errrrrr



*The ripper/encoder is an idiot*


Posted by Easileigh on 01-04-2003 11:40 AM:

dont bitch about cds in this day and age, just do what i do and get a dvd burner and stick all the mpegs from your rls's on one dvd-r

*The ripper/encoder is an idiot*



hahahaha ... this has to be one of the funniest posts ever made. sorry to dissapoint you, but the only idiot here is you! please do never ever try to talk about things you have less then zero knowledge of. even i know that VCD == MGEP-1 == CBR.
taken from vcdhelp.com...
code:
Video: 1150 kbit/sec MPEG-1 352 x 288 pixels 25 frames/second Audio: 224 kbit/sec MPEG-1 Layer2


now let's do some math: 1150 + 224 == 1374 kbit/s == 172kb/s.
this is a tad higher then the single-speed transfer rate of an audio cd, therefore a 74min cd-r can hold about 70mins of video, while a 80min cd-r can store about 75mins.
now, 168mins/80mins > 2, isn't it? there is no way to "fill up" the cd's like you suggested because it's all CBR - you can't just raise/lower the bitrate without the breaking the VCD-Standard. Therefore it also doesn't really matter if you do 3 CDs with 56 mins each or 2*74mins and one with 20mins only.

sorry about the grammar/spelling/whatever ... english isn't my native language and i was too lazy to re-check the whole post again


Posted by DougieZero on 01-04-2003 05:08 PM:

I just watched it... Still one of my favoite films of the year. I still don't know why they sliced off the pop-up consideration watermarks... I swear I could handle it.


Posted by Redemption on 01-04-2003 06:38 PM:

This is an average VHS Screener of a quite good film.

The picture is quite good and the sound is excellent, and since its 168 mins its gotta be 3 CD's, since its 80mins per disc.

SVCD would also be 3 discs as 56minutes per disc isn't too bad for SVCD, and the reason for the SVCD sample is i think TcS are trying to see what people would rather, so the next VHS screener they get a hold of, they will know what people want.

The best thing to do is extract the 3 mpegs and re-enode the sound to a lower bitrate, the diference isnt too noticable and will allow u to cut the mpeg into 2 and put it on 2 CD's.

I dont mind the cost of extra discs, but i dont like changing discs, plus all my DVD covers are for 2 discs.

edit:nikelrah a 74 min CD hold 74minutes of video at VCD standard and 80 minutes on an 80 min CD

well, who cares about those 5 mins or so as you see i got 172k/s for the video stream. cdda has 150k/s, and you can (obviously) store 74 mins of cdda on a 74 min CD etc. so i thought you'd loose a few mins, but if not then it's even better.


Posted by jonno on 01-05-2003 01:40 PM:

Question

picture is good,audio is excellent,but the film............. total wank i'd say!

6/7/3



Posted by Redemption on 01-05-2003 02:13 PM:

Ok Nikelrah, i wasn't meaning to be picky or anything, just thought i'd point it out and CDDA does have a data rate of 150k/s but shove an audio cd on and check the data rate with something like Winamp and its 1411kbps.

nice

very nice after them 2 cams and ts rls this rocks


Posted by PrOpANe on 01-05-2003 09:27 PM:

Great release...However, I am dissapointed that they didnt do it SVCD. I looked at the 2 samples and I think the SVCD sample looks MUCH better then the vcd, especially during high action sequences. But oh well, I guess ill just have to wait for the DVD screener, even though i really want to see this film NOW! HeHe

It boggles my mind why they couldnt fill up the rest of the space.... let alone 3 cds? errrrrr




Lay off the new guy ... WTF does 394mb have to do with a vcd!?! Your like the ppl that cant figured how you fit a 805mb svcd on a 700mb CD. You'll notice the movie couldnt be put on just 2cd's as is.

Anyway nice source TcS! IMO should have used a SVCD format... maybe next time. Video has some artifacts but is much better then any other rls. Sound is good too. The movie itself isnt as good as I was expecting but maybe I just got too siked up for it beforehand.

probably, but i'm guessing someone at the academy got their shit pushed in for letting that one slip last year. i don't really expect a repeat, but hopefully, i'm wrong

just burned this nice rls! i plan on watching it tomorrow. although i think the svcd sample was far superior, i'm very gracious for the great rls from TcS! thanks guys! the svcd sample had MUCH less macro/micro blocks, it looked very clean.

the vcd rip has a shitload of micro blocks all over the movie, and HEAVY macro blocks in dark scenes. in the future it'd be nice to have svcd, but it's free so thanks for taking the time/energy/risk in puttin this flic out!!

Nice rip for a vhs screener to vcd, thanks tcs.

For the cry babies out there this movie could have been done on 2 cd's but then it would have been out of standard and then lots of others would have cried "you didn't do it right". It's one of those damd if you do and damd if you don't things. Also I can tell you it takes more effort to do such a long movie that way when your gonna have to split it dead in the middle to make it work.

Keep up the good work

Video could have been better, audio is typical for a screener, good movie but not great.


Posted by dopeuser8 on 01-06-2003 10:28 PM:

I was gonna reencode the audio as 192k (for myself) so I could just put it on 2 cd's, and when I was looking at the length of the movie I noticed the only reason this doesn't fit on 2 cd's is the 3 minutes of credits. So cut the credits off, and you can get it down to 2 cd's and keep it vcd-compliant.

I saw a few jerky moments on my standalone, but nice quality overall. Audio (treble mainly) seemed distorted at certain points.

Good release overall.

8/7/9

personally i thought this movie did not live up to its potential .. or how should i say could have been a lot fuckin better

it could be just me i was really eager to watch this looking forward to it since late 2001

at least it did not 'blow goats' but not so great

this is an awesome scr esp considerin theatre release date was waht 2 weeks prior?

im a lil puzzled why it was not done svcd as well

8/8/7.5 is my rating based off vcd scr

Great release but I had some wierd problems with this release which were also apparent in their Adaptation rip, some parts seemed jerky not really a ghosting effect like those in VideoCD TC's but like bad ivtc style jerks but I don't know if that's possible on vcd's. Otherwise, nice quality.
