-- The Forgotten *SVCD* - TELESYNC - maVen (http://www.vcdhq.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=47308)

Hi,

Based on Sample:

Good quality as usual from Maven, nothing is wrong with the audio. Only thing that I saw from the sample, is that there is a motion blur when people move.

V: 8
A:10
M: ??????

well this is a great ts. color is nice has great color , just a little fuzz to it but not as much as their last one. sound is great, crips near perfect. movie looks good

Movie From Maven Priceless!!

*Broadband internet not included...

wow...just watched Disc 1....Nice Video and Audio...waiting on the 2nd Disc...nice and clean....typical MaVen rls...nice job...I am so happy that MaVen chose this movie to rls!!
WooHoo!!

Nice release

This is a must see. I saw yesterday on the big screen and I was hoping that MaVen would hit us with this one!

9/10/8.5

Nice! Better than the release of First Daughter .. seems as if this one wasn't so "rushed." Like Vegas said .. there is some motion blur, not that big of a deal though. Picture is nice and crisp, tad blurry, normal maVen release. Sound is excellent as usual.

8/9/5 - Don't know what the "hype" was about this movie. Wasn't that good. Too predictable and not very thrilling. O well .. seems like they're running out of ideas nowadays.

thank you maven yall are the shit

I love Maven.

Everything they release is brilliant (compared to POT)

I was just about to get the POT release cos I thought Maven weren't gonna do this.

Picture 8.5
Sound 9
Movie 7

Come on Maven, all I need now is a nice TS of Wimbledon to keep the missus happy.

Very Nice

As far as TS goes, this is near perfect. Video is usual maVen standard. Sound is same usual maven audio. 8/9/? (? = havent watched cd2 yet).
The camera used in this release is by far a better camera than the 1st daughter release. But both are better than a NY silver anyday. Keep up the good work maVen.

lovely release maven...

8/9/1 movie still sucked balls and had no damn point. some nice special effects on the 3 to 5 scenes it used them. otherwise watch the trailer and you've basically saw the whole movie. I expected more. but the movie just went off without actually ending or explaining shit.

And you think treathing others of stupid or not inteligent mean you are better ?

I am sorry to say, you should start by learning what a cam and a telesync is TODAY.

The days where telesync was a big diference is over, maVen does "homemade" telesync, meaning, they get in with a camera and record the movie, wich is the SAME as the guy making the silvers POT buy does. The diference, is maVen add a direct audio and have better source,

So, YES maVen rules them all.
But honestly, who cares ? its just another fine release between others, if you able to wait 2 days, because its diference between POT and maVen, 2 days ... If you able to wait 2 days to watch some crap flick, i suggest you to wait for maVen, if you want to watch crap or use those release to sell it, i'm pretty sure POT is what you need to have, i don't say POT are bad, just saying they don't have the control over their releases.

Anyway if you want to call me an idiot because i think diferently then you, go ahead
But make sure you know what you talking about before saying anything else.

maVen's Captain had a bit of sync issue. Did anyone notice it? Also are these sync issue fixable. I notice that the sync issues occur like mid way thru the movie.

Im not sure so thats why I post this question to the experts here. Could it be a puter issue. Any help would be appreciated.

By the way i just extract the bins with vcdgear and burn them straight to dvd cause my player (Philips DVP642) plays everything raw.

I have also used SVCD2DVD with just about the same sync issues.
Also tried Womble to no avail. Not all releases have these sync issues but most im having trouble with. Stumped!

Great Release Maven. Watched the whole movie and it is good. Video 9, Audio 9, Movie 8.

excellent ts...good movie......nice1 maVen

9/9/7

8/8/?

Lets see...Roger...i guess you sell these stuff yourself to be talking like that. Selling these releases just aint right, so the usefulness of those releases aint justified by if they are good for selling.

CAMs and telesyncs are very different, maybe not on what equipment is used but what quality they give you. Sound is not the only difference. Video quality on telesyncs is much better.

And yes as long as it's free then be happy, but watching a 'good' movie on cam quality just destroys it.

That's why ppl stick with MaVen, cause they provide quality releases and not just quantity.

No offense to POT or any groups that release only CAMs, just saying why MaVen rocks.

Enjoy!

good shit maven! appreciate what your doing for us here even though ppl often take it for granted.

remember the rules guys im a new guy so their fresh in my mind but maybe not some of you, rate the release few brief comments is all it takes, and if someones starts asking "newb" questions why not answer then instead of rating the intelligence of the individual.

Video ----9----
Audio ----9----
Movie ----8----

Usually i can laugh at some of the posts, and comment if need be, would everyone else prefer it was rating only forum?

Don't know if anyone else noticed it but at the end of the 2nd cd there is a scene where there is a very loud hum noise for about 45 seconds. I dont know if it happen when I re encoded to dvd using Nero or what. Can anyone else confirm this before I use nero again?

Video - 8
Sound - 8.5 (seems a lil out of sync towards the end)
Movie - 4

wow im glad the assholes at maven decided to put the very end of the movie as the sample so everyone who hasnt seen it knows how it ends GJ

Typical sweet ass maVen release...

V - 8
A - 9
M - ? Don't know but I am watching it tonight.

maVen Don't mean to be on your jock but you set the bar pretty high I been coming here for years but havnt reged on the forum. ever since u came along I kinda just wait for your release. I refuse to watch a cam release, This was a very good release I didnt even see nobody get up this time haha a few of your release people get up and u can see them, kinda ghetto but minor.

This movie sudden just makes a sharp turn and i was finding my self say wtf? but it redeemed itself with the effects etc. I had all the lights off and had it loud and the one scene where the guy yells at her to forget and all the windows shatter and shit OMG I shat my pants, felt like i just saw one of those stupid websites that have scary face and loud noise to scare you. Movie was good all though it just seemed to be something I have seen on the X files. But it was good

video 9
Audio 9
Movie 7

these guys are churning out some of the best tele's ever!! the films good too along with the audio. grab this

If I wanted your opinion on who to like or dislike, who to flame, I'd give it to you.

Anyway, great job Maven !!! Keep up the excellent work, can always expect the best from you, thanks!

9/8/6 - ending was lacking, definately a must see though.

Is is it just me or is it impossible to burn maven movies

I have tried almost everything when it comes to burning these maven releases. I have extracted the cue/bin files with vcdgear 3.55 and burned the mpeg with nero 6 ultra at 4x or even 2x for that matter; I have tried burning the mpegs with vcdeasy and I get a sector error and it ask do I want to continue; I have tried burning the the cue file with nero 6 ultra, cdrwin and Alcohol 120% 1.9.2 Build 1705 all at 4x, still no luck. The problem is when I play the svcd on diffferent dvd players the same thing happens with all of them; I can watch about 20 mins of the movie fine; then after that the picture starts to get pixelated and and the dvd player starts to skip. After that I can no longer watch the movie. This only happens with maven releases, why? Is it something to do with the release being PAL and I am burning to NTSC and watching it on a NTSC dvd player. Please if anyone can help it would be much apreciated.

PS Maven great job on the releases, much props

Thanks,

8/9/3

QB, you're a disgrace. Sure you have been lurking for years. You probably invented this site too right? You shit your pant from this movie?

Ok this film was bad. It starts out fine but early on the plot is revealed and it goes downhill from there. From magic eyes to retarded villains that just walk down a path taking fire like it's no big deal. I was waiting for him to flex his muscles. So much for remaining inconspicuous. Then the scene Newbie QB took a dump in his pants over... wow, they implemented NBA Jam big head mode. Instead of shitting in my pants I was LMAO at how hilariously cheesy that was. This was a comedy right? Like someone else said, this entire film is aimless. A bunch of illogical contradicting crap through the entire movie to finish with everything up in the air. What kind of ending was that? I'm still trying to wake from its catatonic mind numbing effect.

If you've ever gotten really shit faced hammered, woke up the next day and felt like you've suddenly become really stupid, then you know what watching this film is like.

Film was decent, worth a watch, and the quality for such a new release is great, MaVeN is running things at the moment, can get a bit dark, but hell its free so im happy

7.5/8/7

Nice release Maven!

Just downloaded this, but the sound is horrid, just like most other releases I download. Does anyone know why nearly every movie I download had cruddy sound, yet things that aren't related to movie releases have perfectly fine volume and sound? I want to hear what I'm watching! D:

Decent release. Pic is a bit blurry but works fine, sound is a bit low but clear.

7/8/7

Once again half the people above have judged by the sample, no wonder you all get so euphoric. Time to dampen your excitement a little. All I hear is "Maven is great, Maven is hot". Now listen:

First, they still don't know how to encode properly. The mpegs are not multiplexed properly, WMP returns an error when jumping fast for-/backward. Plus even Tmpeg is unable to demultiplex the mpeg stream properly (try for yourself - turn the videocd 1 into mpeg using VCDGear, then use Tmpeg mpeg tools) - it fails to demultiplex the whole video stream, which results in a corrupted outcome, where half the video is missing, the outcome files being smaller in size than the input mpeg file.

As I was saying before (although nobody listens, because we all are so rich and don't care, cause we all got 1000$ dvd recorders in our living rooms and don't use WMP for playback ), the only programme that demultiplexes this totally phucked up stuff that the warez groups release is mpgtx. I've written a vbscript interface for it (to send mpeg files to the demultiplexer through the windows explorer SendTo menu), you can download the whole package here:

http://membres.lycos.fr/julieborette/mpgtx/

It's very unfortunate that the groups' inability to learn how to multiplex properly is not part of the rating on vcdquality. cause if it were I'd give them a phucking 0

Anyway, back to the standard criteria:

video - 9. very good for a camcoded movie, nothing to complain about. In fact, the washed-out colours that are so typical for a TS fit perfectly well this specific movie, in which cold colours dominate anyway for dramaturgical reasons. So if you wanna enjoy this movie, watch this release, don't go to the cinema!

audio - SUX! My rating - 1. ok, I'm so phucking tired of this - audio volume is once again so low that I couldn't understand anything. So I increased it by 400-500% using TMPGEnc, which made it possible for me to understand what is being said, but at the same time this volume increase decreased the volume quality by a huge degree. Audio in certain scenes that were loud anyway (car collision, e.g.) before volume increase got now so loud that it caused an "overflow", resulting in disturbing noise that has nothing to do with original movie audio.

But if I don't increase the volume or if I increase by less than 400%, I can't hear a damn thing!

Movie itself -7. I don't understand why so many say it sux. It's a pretty good multi-layered movie, you can interpret it from various angles. You can stay on the surface, or dig deeper, right to the metaphorical level. The movie is about the discrepancy between modern-time alienated society and the individual's desire to stay human - in the sense of being connected to the rest of the human race. Capitalism vs. social interaction? Maybe. There's much room for interpretation.

It's suspenseful too. I nearly got a heart attack twice - first during the car accident, when the NSA car came out of nowhere and bumped into the car Moore was sitting in. And second - when the aliens "hoovered" the female police cop. One second she was talking and next thing I see she is hoovered into the flying saucer. lol

bah

Quality is gr8... Anything less and i doubt that they would rls it.

9/9/1

I really don't get what the plot twist was suppose to be. I may have missed some deeper plot point. If you're interested in a movie about memory, i'd wath Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless mind. Now that movie was great when it came to pointing out how memories become twisted. If you want the other end of things, watch Dark City.

This sound problem that some people are having, does anyone think this is soundcard related, cause i dont have any problems with the sound on Maven's releases, and neither do a lot of others, sure they're lower than most stuff like games and mp3's but so are my original DVD's.

Also how can you mess up a multiplex, its one of the easiest things to do, either with Tmpeg or BBmpeg, and WMP is hardly the best program to judge it from, there are plenty of free programs that are superior.

Have you tried this on a DVD player, as it sounds great on mine. especially through DPL2.
You shouldn't increase the volume as it totally ruins the sound, and Tmpeg isnt the best audio encoder either.

If we were talking about cams, I wouldn't say anything, but a TS is recorded using an external audio source, so one would assume audio should be fine. If it's not and one has to increase the volume, thus decreasing the overall audio quality, then such a release should be called CAM, and not TS.

And of course I don't use WMP for playback, I am using my hardware mpeg decoder (plus the soft that was supplied with the hardware card). I just tested the release in WMP. I think a working release should work properly in all players, even if only a few people use WMP.

Tmpeg maybe not the best audio encoder, but using DX plugins in Sound forge is a pain in the ass, cause you have to decode the mpeg audio stream from movie releases to uncompressed pcm to open it in soundforge in order to edit it (or rather SF will decode it for you), so you need plenty of free harddisk space (in addition to all the harddisk space that is already used up by the movie itself)

The sound problem is not sound card related, there are several TS releases in which audio volume is just fine, also the volume on all my dvds is fine.

The volume problem may be due to the fact that the audio stream in some movie releases is in dolby surround format, as suggested on another vcdq thread. However, the sound on all of my dvds is also encoded in DD, and still sound volume is all right there.

If we were talking about cams, I wouldn't say anything, but a TS is recorded using an external audio source, so one would assume audio should be fine. If it's not and one has to increase the volume, thus decreasing the overall audio quality, then such a release should be called CAM, and not TS.

Excellent all round.

8/9/8

Maybe a little dark in places.

Very nice rls.Video is nice.colors are a little dull but not a big deal at all, sound is good, movie is pretty good,some parts in the movie catch you off guard and make you jump,and different from most alien movies....overall a very nice rls.


Video:8
Audio:8
Movie:8.5

8/8/9 maVen Yall Guys Are EXCELLENT!!!!!!


This movie gets 2 Thumbs WAYYY UP!!!! Me and my Lady watched this one together and WOW! The Video is dang near Perfect. This is definately one of the Best TS's I have Ever seen. The reason I say "near Perfect" is b/c like others have said there is a tad bit of Motion Blur throughout the film but it's really not that noticable. The colors are excellent also. They may be a little washed but it really fits the movie so thats not noticable either. The Audio is the maVen usual. Excellent! This DTS sound is Awesome on my Surround Sound Home Theater System. It really comes through and fills the system up nicely. As for the movie itself, my Lady and I both thought it Rocked. Alot of people thought it sucked, but they are entitled to their opinion as am I. The movie had Good suspense and good twists to it. I thought it was just plain Good. Thanks Again maVen for all the Hard Work you guys put into every release. Yall are pretty much becoming the standard for TS releases. Keep Em Coming and we'll Keep d/ling!

P.S.

I wish people would just rate the movies and stuff instead of shitting on each other all the time. It gets really old trying to read what people think about a movie and yet you got all this shit about so and so is a retarded newb and a lamer and what not. Why not just let people express their opinions about a movie without having to worry about some Loser trying to flame them just because the Loser's opinion differs from the poster's. A good example of this would be Villain Flaming Q B just because he thought there was a really good part in the movie. Maybe 404 needs to start the ol Rules Post at the beginning again. That seemed to atleast cut down the flaming a good bit. Oh well, I dunno but I wish people would just chill out and let others use the site for what it was made for. Rating Movies. Sorry for the rant but that just really got under my skin this time.

/end rant

Good movie. Not a bad copy either. It's a bit dark in places, but that's just what goes with the territory Sound was a bit soft, could have used a little amplification. Great release over all. The movie made my daughter and I jump out of our seats in a few places. Grab it if ya can.

I have to agree there, movie was good, i enjoyed it, picture & sound was good too, no problems at all, Ty maven dude/s

Just watched this download, the first disc is not complete it cuts out about 5 mins of the movie towards the end. other than that the quality is good for an svcd, the second disc has a stuck image 20 mins in which last a couple o minutes but to be excpected i suppose. ok film but nothing brilliant. wait for a better copy CHAPS
