Audio is V Nice
Video is a bit blurry but still watchable, seems to lag a bit


decent release

from sample:

v:6 - pretty blurry, and it looks like frames were dropped (bad ivtc)
a:7 - kind of hollow, and has some type of background noise

Cropped.
Background hiss throughout movie.
Blurry.
Watch it on yer puter, (smaller screen, notice blur less, bring up base for hiss)then delete.

Audio does has a hiss, but I can handle it. The video is decent, but does get dark in places. Better then anything else so I will not complain, now I can finally watch it...thanks.

V-6.5
A-6.5
M-6

God, the crap they did to try to cover up the quality of their source is just idiotic. If you look at the video you can spot duplicated frames every so often, and if you work out the pattern in every group of 23976 frames, 8979 are duplicates. Or, to put it simply, the camera recorded at 15fps. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that, though there is a certain quality issue associated with it. But to go to the effort of attempting to cover it up like that... yeesh.

Video: 3 - Untreated, the video will wind up giving you a headache or even motion sickness due to the duplicated frames. If you use AviSynth and FDecimate to convert it back to 15fps it looks much better, well up into the 6 range. There's significant flicker and motion blur due to the 15fps source, and the color is a bit washed out. Also, the cropping is definitely noticable in places. The only other odd thing is how the first minute or so is stretched vertically. This goes away for the rest of the movie, so no big, but it threw me at first.

Audio: 5 - This could have been much, much better, if only a few minor tricks had been performed on the audio. They started to fix the usual FM-source problem where the left channel is inverted compared to the right, which I have to commend them for. Very few groups bother with that, and it's a nice little touch. However, the static in the audio could have been easily removed with one simple conversion from stereo-> mono; when they inverted the right channel to fix the source audio it inverted the static they picked up as well. If you merge the channels to mono the static cancels itself out, leaving you with only crisp, clear movie audio. (with minor distortion, but still much better) Try it yourself; you'll see what I mean immediately.

Movie: ? - I'm still watching it.


Bottom line: If you're willing to put in a little post-processing effort, this is highly watchable and surprisngly good quality. If you watch it like it is fresh out of the rar pack, it's crap.
