yeah.... v4f is rockin on the dvdscreeners, pics arent posted yet , lets keep our fingers crossed

good stuff...saw it in theaters but incredible and worth the download, long movie too.....nice release

Too Early Yet Again...

LOL--
I just missed this rls =|
I too just got done watching the VCD Screener. Will still have to get though, it looks pretty good.

Great Work!

ahahaha i got a woodrow
this time i was smart enough to wait and not burn the vcd screener. This kicks ass

Ah been waiting for this one...its like the only movie this holiday season i never saw in theaters. Thank god for the dvd screener, ive been refusing to download anything but svcd for the past 4 months. Thanks V4F!

will rate quality when i get the sample!

nice

chicago DVD SCR....

gangs of new york DVD SCR...


damn good job? whats next?

8 MILE SCR?? lol

i'd be happy with lotr:tt screener

Runtime: 168 min

VCDQ shows 2 CDs, but release is actually 3, Update site.....

According to NFO.....

Format - SVCD/DVDrip
Size - 3 cds


Video Bitrate - 1810 Audio Bitrate - 224
Video Resolution - 480 x 480 Standard - NTSC

Not best but not bad..........Might have needed to be stretched out to 4 but no complaints.


Nice Release....

8,8,8

i dont understand how the svcd can be two disks and the vcd is three........i thought vcd's hold more then 1h 20min each. I seen the movie in the theaters and it was about 3hours long how can it fit on 2 svcds disks.

true true

it says 2 cd's but yet the NFO says 3

the quality is 100x better than the TCS one

nice work V4F hope to see the cool dvd screener releases long after oscar season is over

why dose it sow as 2 cds when it is in tact 3 cds

arrrg .. just when i thought it was over THIS has to be released as a DVD Scr!!!
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE .. TOO MUCH TOO MUCH .. BAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA .. ::cough cough::

well, just goes to show all you people out there who go ahead and download the first release of a movie right away dont get blessed with the best quality. i always wait for the quality, and during oscar season, dvd screeners are the only way to go. not only that, but u can count on them coming really soon. just like lord of the rings...we know it is coming, just gotta wait

ill laugh at anybody who goes and starts downloading a screener of lotr:ttt before the dvd screener. if u want the dvd screener, then wait for it, no sense in wasting the bandwidth on something that ur just gonna be wanting to throw away within days.

(btw ive seen the pic of the dvd case for the two towers...the one that says "for your consideration" on the top of it. this means it must only be days away....! and yea, im sure there are lots of you out there who have seen it too. i cant wait!)

I guess ill download this copy.

I wouldnt mind '8.Mile.DVD.SCREENER.SVCD-TCF'

Hotmail? Are they using hotmail?

thanks v4f!

9/9/havent seen whole movie yet

Good job V4F, 8/8/9

And check out Spicoli from Fast Times at Richmont High in the top right sample jpeg, lol.

kick ass release, but I hope they will releases their dvd screeners as 4-7 gig dvd-rip so I can burn a dvd-r, because I am never to fond of svcd releases. as vcd I can understand, but if you still going for an svcd it is only a little better quality!!! so please vf4 release the dvd-r!

thanks!

hahaha.. looks just spicoli
-
very nice release
9/9/8

ahh just like rather

hmm

Might get this eventually, but I just can't picture DiCaprio as a tough guy.

nuked on lots of places, a proper is in store (NUKED - *EXCEEDS MAX VID RATE OF 2450KBIT* ), movie was very good btw

very nice the movie was better then I thought and a very good job done here very good quality

two thumps up!

:: Heh, thumps...

Just to clear up the 2 CD issue that VCDQuality posted it's actually 3 discs im downloading the third disc now.

yah i was readin the nfo and it said 3cds so

KICKASS QUALITY!

this is without a doubt the BEST quality screener i have ever seen, so much so that i had to FINALLY register with vcdquality so i could raunt and rave about this. i have a brand new 47" projection hdtv and let me tell you, this svcd didn't look very much different from a widescreen dvd. as everyone knows,vcds look like shit on a big screen tv and most of the time these lame release groups don't encode svcds properly and so therefore they don't look that great but this time they were right on the money! the sound was nice too but you can't expect much from a svcd since it's not possible to get DTS 5.1 surround sound from a svcd. picture was near flawless and audio was perfectly in sync. you go V4F! even if you already saw the vcd release and even if ya didn't like the movie, you have to get the svcd just for the sake of seeing what a marvelous job of encoding they did with this release... wish they all could look this good! 10/9/8

Nice rip I am glad i waited for the this one. cept I ges I gotta wait till sunday fer disk 3. Will just have to tidy up the office or do the washing up or something. maybe talk to my partner and child.

thanks again for this great film.

great release the movie didn't deserve the effort and quality tho happy i didn't pay to see this one.
10/10/5

9/8/4

9 - PIC - Great. looks fantastic

8 - Sound - A bit disappointed. expected more in surround sound. just ok.

4 - movie - Very Disappointed! Violence? are u kidding me? all u need to watch in this flic is the first 10 minutes and last 10 minutes. the rest is crap.

gangs of new york

could someone please tell me how to get my hands on the gangs of new york dvd screner!!!! please!!! thanks

No Requesting!!!

figure it out yourself

Easiest way is, in future, win yourself an oscar, then you will be sent these screeners for nothing.

Bingo.

Oh and this is another worthy release.

gangs of new york

lol,phuck u nerdy boy and get a phucking life and stop being a little bitch on a keyboard,lol

i knew this looked like a bad release when i saw the sample and now i have proof:
this is from the /EXTRA dir from within the bin file (cause it was made with DVD2SVCD and whoever ripped it decided to show his stupidity by putting this in):
VIDEO INFO:
- Encoder: Cinema Craft Encoder 2.50.1.0
- Encoding mode: Multipass VBR
- Passes: 2
- Max. bitrate: 2530
- Avg. bitrate: 1729
- Min. bitrate: 300
- Image Quality Prio: 17
- Antinoise filter: No
- Linear quant. scale: Yes
- Zigzag scan order: Yes
- Upper field first: Yes
- Progressive frames: Yes
- iDCT Algorithm: 32-bit SSE MMX
- Resize method: SimpleResize
- Temporal smoother: No
- Sharpen: No
- NTSC Field Operation: Inverse Telecine, using Donald Grafts Decomb dll
- Deinterlace: None
- Pulldown: Yes
- Matrix:
--------------------
and gee...looking at the nfo it says : Video Bitrate - 1810

so not only did they lie about the bitrate saying its higher than it actually was...they only did a 2 pass rip of it. anyone with a clue how to encode knows that 2 pass is pathetic...3-5 needed for a quality rip...not only that but Antinoise filter was left off...come on now...dvd screeners are not fully mastered and would benefit greatly from that...but it was left off im sure to increase the encoding speed. And last but not least simpleresize was used...sad.
thx V4F, but no thx...ill wait for an internal of this

nah m8, it's the dog's bollox!

anyone else notice the bad packet at about 49 mins in the first cd or am I the only one? Wish I knew how to fix that problem.

No I haven’t and I don’t need to...I’ve seen enough releases in my day to know which are worth watching and which are crap by the encoding methods. It’s a real shame that quality groups like iV take the time to encode properly (5 pass, bicubic resize) and groups like V4F can release a quick and shitty encode and people will go bonkers for it and rate it an 8.7...just cause it’s a DVD screener. Why even waste the time to do a quality rip? All u need to do is a 2-pass, simpleresize with dvd2svcd no less. It really is sad. And those of you that think that this is a good rip...I fart in your general direction! Use your eyes and your brain for once before you vote a 9 on video that honestly deserves nothing more than a 5...and that's being generous.

Nice bloody movie.

8/8/8

Video quality very good. Audio also good. Movie? Mehhh....

The costuming is a bit silly in this one. 2 ft tall tophats, etc. They may have dressed like that back then but those Red and Blue brightly colored sashes? C'mon, that just looked stupid.

Instead of Cameron Diaz they should've found a cuter, younger redhead, like Jennifer Garner maybe? Cameron was hot in The Mask but she ain't anymore.

Daniel Day Lewis was great as the Butcher. But why didn't more people try and shoot this bastard?

DiCaprio was... tolerable. The movie didn't pick up for me until after Leo recuperates from being "butchered". THEN the movie really kicks in.

But... overall it just felt like a live action cartoon... like that Popeye movie starring Robin Williams. Not realistic. Sorry, this one can't beat The Pianist.

9/9/7

i agree that 2 passes is pretty low. however, i do not believe that that reckoning takes into account the production of the *.vaf file, which in cce settings would count as another pass, making this the equiv of a 3-pass encode. not sure on that one. in any case, having watched the flick, i've got to say that it looked pretty good.

i agree that if you don't have to use a noise filter, you shouldn't.

simpleresize is fast, and generally does a pretty good job, actually. in fact, some are of the opinion that, for instance, bicubicresize is *not* ideal for reducing image size, only for enlarging... and that when reducing, one should use something more akin to bilinearresize (which is basically what simpleresize is).

decomb is an excellent ivtc/deinterlace filter.

so the bitrate doesn't match by a few k. what the average is set at is not necessarily what average bitrate was acheived, particularly when using cce, which has a tendency to run a bit over the average setting.

as for the movie itself, i thought it was decent but not outstanding. i think a lot of people are sort of missing something about the style: it's *supposed* to have that sort of "larger than life" quality; whomever said something about the popeye movie is actually on the right track; tho i think that perhaps "desperado" or even "charlie's angels" is a bit closer to the mark. like those flicks, this film was not supposed to be trying to convince you that it was an accurate portrayal of historical realities or convince you that it were 'really' happening, but more to present an almost mythopoeic image using archetypical figures (for those of you to whom this means anything, think roland barthes meets tarantino, but not as well done :p ) set in an era and place that many people have given little consideration to (generally when most ppl think of that time period, it's either images of the 'old west', or of civil war battles in the south... ppl rarely consider what might have been happening in new york back then). it was a good idea, only half pulled off -- tho i'll admit i thought this was one of dicaprio's better roles, usually i can't stand the guy.

haha seen a few post cant say i really seen any post about any one saying they actually watched all this release but i didnt go through all of them all i mostly heard was sample this sample that bah STFU

this is a nice release great sound and picture nothing wrong with any of the cds...
good work keep them coming


you are a moron if you have problems with this release when clearly it is better then the others and i doubt you see another release of this for a while unless some group wants to be a asshole and release another one over people's comments...

btw...
this is a great movie i do wish there was more gang fights though really there is only 1 huge gang fight
i'm glad it took place in 1800s...
great story line
if you get a chance get this release and check out "the real gangs of new york" on the history channle.

I waited for the Dvd Screener on this one, and it was well worth the wait. I can't say anything bad about the movie at all. Great performances by everyone (especially Daniel Day Lewis), and the big gang rumbles were cool. Watched this one on my Dvd player and had no problems with anything through all 3 disks. Great Release V4F!

9/9/10

This movie worth watching? dont really like leo, but if the movie is good il download it

No, this movie fuckin sucked. I usually can tolerate dicaprio, not that i like him cus hes a faggot, but i can usually tolerate his movies, like catch me if you can that was pritty good, and so was beach but this movie fuckin sucked ass. I was basically pissed that i lost two hours of my life watching this piece of shit movie. It could have been ok, but half way through the movie it went to hell. The first scene was the only good part, atleast thats my opinion, so if you want to waste two hours to be pissed off afterwards then watch it, but otherwise watch something decent.
