You'll be missed VideoCD

Pretty damned nice for a TS. Not awesome but pretty damned nice. Video is a bit bright and there's a slight angle/skew (it doesn't detract from the overall quality, which is good). Audio is fine - clear and loud (maybe too loud)... Overall, a decent TS and a finale that VideoCD can be proud of!

V - 8
A - 7
M - 5

::EDIT:: Watched the full release now...

I stand by my statement above but the movie loses synch and glitches in quite a few places. It still doesn't detract from the movie too much cos the dodgy parts are very short but it is "chopped up" a bit

As for the movie, not as bad as I expected. Yeah, it's cheesier than kalvaitis' dick and a totally lame Superhero flick. It's riddled with plot holes and basically makes very little sense but it has two things going for it: Jessica Alba and some pretty funny dialogue in parts

8/7/8

nice final

v:7.a:7.m:8

video, bit cropped
audio, decent
movie, good

A little dark, but colors are nice. Video is clear with not much pixilation even during action scenes. Direct sound is very good. Movie was fantastic! What a fun ride with great effects.

VIDEOCD, we hate to see you go. Thanks for all the hard work, and risk over the past 3 years. Your legacy will be remembered...you're one of the good ones...sniff..sniff......

CATBOX

Great quality on your last release.

8/8/9

7/7/4 (turned it off)

Cant say much about the video that hasnt been said already. Best out there at the moment. Colours are nice, not the sharpest release but i'm not complaining. 7.5

Audio is fine. 8

Please insert the correct CD-ROM.

v - 6-7
s - 5 ( due to it beening out for sync by a sec or so)
m - 7- could of been worse (ok)

So long VideoCD

As said above nice release 7/8/7

Thanks for all the fine releases,hate to see you go :/

I'M ANOTHER DUMB SHIT WHO COMMENTS ON .NFOs AND NOT THE RELEASE ITSELF... I ALSO TAKE ROHYPNOL THEN SEXUALLY ABUSE MYSELF!!

Lets praise all the groups out there who make this scene for what it's worth because if we didn't then we'd all be spending a fortune at the pics.Remember to practice SAFE SEX (as illistrated in the pic).

What a poor way of ending such a "career"

Why ? Cause this only seems to be a reencode of the Spanish TS released one week ago. There are exactly the same missing parts and artefacts :

1 minute 8 seconds from the beginning - the beginning of Richards' speech is missing and you can see a beautiful "glitch" on the screen.

4 minutes 57 seconds from the beginning - the answer of Reed to Susan is cut and the end of the elevator scene is missing.

And so on...

The release is well named, it's a big fuckoff to all of us... Sad.

For once - fuck the release..........just thank the group VideoCD for all ya hard work and most of all...the risk

7/7/5

an impressive release.

ah well, another one bites the dust!

well done lads, a grand finale!

i will miss your homegrown ts and im hoping that another group picks up the source of the non-homegrown telesync's that you sometimes put out!

adios amigo


8.5/8.5/will watch after full dl

:: after watching it all, it seems quite nice, but the sound has a loud thump every 10 seconds or so, followed by having a short 1 second echo. it is also a bit too loud, and a minimal hiss at loud volume. none of this is too bad, but would drop my rating to a 6.5.

picture rating also drops to a 7 because on outdoor scenes it is too bright and on indoor scenes it is too dark. it is also verry cropped and there is alot of small camera movements here and there. still nice though.

movie is a 7. quite entertaining.

Audio seems out of sync to me... maybe it clears up later on but from what I've watched cd1 is out of sync.

Just skimmed through CD1 and there is a synch issue on CD1 at least.

Image is sharp and sound is pretty good.

Sad to see the end of VideoCD, looks like the scene is hurting.

watched this all the way through. There are definitely synch issues and there do seem to be scenes missing. It must have taken quite a few attempts to get the whole movie and must have been a real pain in the butt to put together.

It's watchable and is the best copy out by far but it's a far cry from the best stuff VideoCD have done in the past.

7/6/8

not bad for a TS. has a slight angle but thats no problem.

V: 8
A: 7
M: 6

6/7/-50

video is actually worth an 8 but due to the missing scenes I had to give it a hit.
A little bit of an angle but you forget about it and never really notice it, atleast I didn't.

Audio typical TS fare.... sync issues, little hissy but coulda just been my system.

Too bad to see VideoCD go, I always enjoyed their releases, and I know i have spindels of discs riddled with VideoCD releases.

Hope I don't have to wait for retail dvds now damnit!

Great release to end a career on, and a big old FUCK YOU to anyone bitchin

no i haven'nt seen the release.....

but i will pay my respects to a fallen soldier. rip videocd.

will check this release out.

this release looks to be a way of saying screw you to all the downloaders....

out of sync(which could have been fixed) plus as well it seems it was made 1.66 gbs total just to create a 3rd cd that was NOT needed...which is a kick in the teeth to us all which is why it says **** YOU on the subject lines....

vid-6
aud-4
movie-5

movie sucks ass, maybe part 2 will be good since it wont be an hour & half of gay origin story that any comic fan must admit was a waste of our ****n time.

Pretty poor ts. Dark, overly cropped picture. Have skimmed through the full release and it does look VERY much like the Spanish TS.

Quite a few glitches in the video.

Audio, whilst direct, is very poor. Understandable and better than cam but far from fab. And yep, it keeps losing sync every now and then, but I can live with it.

It's watchable but not brilliantly enjoyable.

video parst of the film are missing 6

audio goes out of syc 6

overal 6

Overall, not bad for what is VideoCD's last release. Could have been worse.

V - 6 Missing scenes kill it, could have been better.
A - 7 Didn't sound bad at all on my surround sound system.
M - 6 Not bad, but no Spiderman/Batman Begins

Peace and thanks VideoCD. . .

Another sad day in the scene, one more of my fav groups gone
They will be missed! many thanks for your time and super hard work videocd!

I visit vcdquality since 4 years, but never posted a thing, I registered recently just in case something like this would happen...

So here goes my first post:

8/8/7 <--- because it's VideoCd's last release... (movie wasn't that great)
We have to be thankfull for the work they have done, you should get this release... chance is you don't like the movie, like many others, so this is more than enough.


Thanks VideoCd for all the hard work, and risking your "liberty" for all the things you have done... It was really appreciated, hopefully there will someday be a "comeback".

I sure hope other professional groups can stand ground, if not the scene is pretty fuked soon. Best luck to all of you...

7/8/6

bye vcd, you will be missed.
paz and viva la scene.

Very bad
picture aint ot hot
audio is piss poor with sync issues
and to many scenes are cut
they are talking about 1 thing 1 min then another the next
piss poor release

6/4/5
sadly Video-cd you will not be missed
i'm sure someone else can get these singaporean silvers and do a better job then you have managed

are we sure this is VideoCD? i honestly hope not, cuz id sure hate to see them go out like this. after all the great releases they have given us, to use another video source (it is the spanish version vid) and to put such crappy "direct" sound with it, i dont know. still prefer the BaPH cam to this.

i dont give number ratings, as i think they are stupid. video sucks, cropped. audio stinks for a TS, pretty bad. i actually enjoyed the movie myself, but then i dont look to movies to change my social consious. i just enjoy the big booms.

Worst TS I've ever seen(if it really is a TS!).
4/4/6(for cd1)
2/4/6(for cd2)
4/4/9(for cd3) Great ending.
Sample 7/8/?

Audio on cd2 def goes into a cam, only part of the movie that's free from pixelation is the bloody sample!

Plus, the ads on the tv(the best bits), are MISSING!!!

R.I.P. You had a good run.

7/6/dogpoo

goodbye videocd. I will miss ya

thx for all the goodies i have enjoyed

I dont know who had permission to use the source but this is without a doubt the same video used in a spanish ts which was released several days before this.The spanish ts is croped more but there is absolutely no doubt it came from the exact same place.Video is good lookin though and its nice to have one with better audio than that SOME DUDE release.

nice rls 8/8/9

sorry to see videocd go

as others have mentioned, missing bits and audio glitches on CD1.

Video and sound - 7

VideoCD you've been one of a handfull of groups that you could always count on for a high quality release. It's impressive to see how many movies you put out there for us. Thanks for all the hard work.

I almost never comment on this forum, but I would like to say thanks to VideoCD. They have given us so many AWESOME releases over the past couple of years. It is sad to see a good group go. So thank you VideoCD!

I guess one thing said... you will not have to monitor too much of the "I will wait for the VideoCD/CTP release" as VideoCD is gone and Centropy seems to only want to do lame kids movies now.

BOTH are great groups and deserve much respect!

ohh on this release I give it a

7/7/ ? (I have only skimmed it)

this release is fucked, but at least it's watchable, and nothing critical gets left out

there is one part in the movie where the audio changes to cam audio. this is also where a couple minutes get cut out.

no biggie.

movie sucks so far anyway. The hairdo they gave jessica is ugly too! heheh

please god, no more comic book movies. please.

all the original ideas from hollywood went down the shitter.

video =7 some croping but not enough to spoil
audio =6 some sync problem but nothing terrible
movie =x

imho this is not a ts, im sure i could here audience laughter in the planetarium scene..

a great group with a lot of quality releases
so im sorry but not suprised to see them go..

its sad to see VideoCD go...they had some great releases over the years..you'll be missed...

There is a delay with audio, slightly out of synch but not a big deal. Picture is very good - cropped, but little blur or pixelation.
Movie is big, dumb fun. Really enjoyed it.

8/6/9

Thanks VCD, we'll miss your snarky attitude...

This is my first post, so I hope I'm doing it right:

V:5
S:6 (out of sync in some parts)
M:8

I had my suspicions that there would be missing scenes, and I was right.... otherwise, I'd give the video a 9.

Sound is not as good as VideoCD's usual superior quality.

Overall, not a bad release.

Despite what some say, I thought the movie was very entertaining, but it's definitely worth seeing on the big screen.

BTW, is this post too long?

From the Sample...

7/7/x

I hate to see VideoCD go, they did some of the best releases, and will truly be missed.

as others have mentioned, missing bits and audio glitches on CD1. In addition, there is a decent sized gap between CD2 endng and CD3 starting - not sure how much since i havent seen the real film but the context changes by a decent amount.

---

95 minutes on 3 cds? blah...

Sorry to see you go VideoCD...most of the releases I have converted to DVD were yours

8/8/7

If you gotta go nice swansong !!

ok I truly had to change my vote after watching full film...audio jumps a few times and has a irritating popping noice all through out film. Video adjust in the first 2 mins, then later on again during the film it jumps alot. The colors are decent yet really dark...Cam is zoom in alot and cuts off a hell of alot of the film, especially the end of the movie during the last scene, the main parts of one character is completely none viewable. Also during the first25 mins the film is clipped and missing parts..or different scenes..

After the batman begins release and now this...seems that no one will get a good release of either.

thanks for the release videocd sorry your gone and sorry you went out with two mediocre releases...I'm use to you guys being so much better...

6/6/8 movie was not bad and not really extremely good.

P.S. Unlike most of Videocd releases this one is suffering from the TWAT factor..and its very noticeable..

---

I just can't even get through this. The picture looks good, when it's not glitching every 7 seconds. It's annoying, sometimes it seems like the sound is in synch and others it doesn't.

5/2/?? Avoid if you like your movies in synch with no missing scenes and not glitching every few seconds.

good movie i think, watched it last night not all that bad.
small few sync probs nothing bad
small bit of cropping but nothing major.
all in all a good rls grab it.

video - 7
audio - 6
movie - 6

Video is very good, but couple times you do see sum1 walk across, and it seems it is cropped quite a bit. But picture quality is very clear.

Audio, does get a bit out of sync a few times, but its actually not too bad.

Movie is good, it's hard to have any strong attachments to any of the characters in a movie this length with 4 equal main stars.

u lot mst be kiddin

this movie is 30 minutes short ffs

I can only assume the people giving this 7's and 8's haven't actually watched it. The video is awful. Cropped, out of sync, and full of glitches. I'm sorry I burned it.

Video: 3
Audio: 5
Movie: 6

The movie is crap too, but I still had to rate it higher than the quality.

definitely not the videocd quality people have come to expect ....
out of focus/sync problems/some real bad audio - this could easily be a POT release had they not retired!
5/3/6

Just telling it like I see it.You don't like it ? Why should I care!

I could care less about the release... VideoCD has ever rarely disappointed...

But tho its been said before in different ways...

Fair winds and following seas, VideoCD... Thanx for everything. It was definitely appreciated!

Guess i must of watched a different VideoCD release as the audio on mine is complete rubish every 5 - 10 seconds there is a soft thump noise or somekind of muffled click.

Anyways

Video 7

Audio 3

Movie 8


Checked through this movie i think its worth the small price to watch at the flix

movie is 5 out of 10.

slightly worse than xmen series.

10's all around

Video = 10
Audio = 10
Movie = 10

Not really, vid is bright, the audio is out of sync and the movie totally sucked. Don't worry, I didn't officially vote because I didn't want to skew the ratings. I just wanted to show respects for a group that has given me so much and asked so little in return.

Thanks for everything guys

P.S. You guys kicked Centropy's Ass

Centropy is NOT doing Kiddie movies. NOr any movies. They are a fallen soldier victim of the FBI entrapment. They both deserve respect, but in all honesty NEVER respected each other. This release is cropped and has glitchy audio, and this Movie is NOT a symbol of VideoCD greatness of the past. None theless, we salute another fallen soldier.

7.5/7/4

7/7/ ? (I have only skimmed it)

---

In almost every post, there has been mentioned sync problems, why hasn't this been nuked already??

7/3/5 cant stand sync problems of any kind, it ruins any movie.

sorry to see VideoCD go, good luck to them.

Well as stated before this is not one of their better releases. The video has its issues (pixilated, cropped, missing parts etc..) also the audio seems to be out of sync at times. As for the movie I couldnt watch the whole thing due to above mentioned problems. Once again this was not one of VideoCD's better works. If you can, try picking up something they have done in the past before making judgements on the group itself. Anyway they are gone now and I for one am sorry they are leaving the scene but at least we didnt loose them to the feds. Peace Out VideoCD

Kudos on the saturation and tone aspects of the picture. The audio portion lacks dynamic range but at least it's understandable. Overall solid sevens 7/7/7

Video seemed fine to me, nice and clear. A little zoomed in at the start but was corrected after 5 mins or so. Audio was nice and i noticed none of the popping described by another member of the forum. As for the sync issue? I only noticed one on the first disk which lasted 20 seconds tops.

Oh and the missing bits? If they are anything like the rest of the film i'm fucking glad they were cut. It allowed me to get through this tripe just that little bit quicker.

8/8/1 (That one is allocated for Alba's cleavage)

__________________

ok having sat and watched whole movie................

there are about 3 sync issues lasting literraly seconds... 10 at max.... wierd but true!!
some eejit walks straight across screen about half way through!!!
couple of pixelations... think i counted 3

all that said..... still a decent release... and if you aint seen it then you need to... one of the best comic adaptations for a long time... great specials, and very enjoyable....
roll on part 2 and 3

p.s forgot, there is about 20 seconds missing as well !!

A pretty decent rls to go out(though they have had better). Video looks great aside from angle and cropping. Audio is good at most, though some small lines were missing from when i saw in theatres(or else i was REALLY high(that case, sorry). But altogether a good rls and thanx and we will miss you videoCD.

Video - 8

Audio - 7
