ok so u cut out the first 19 seconds of the movie so thats even more of it were missing now........but what about the fact that it is still out of sync on the rest of cd1.

stop bitching and be grateful for what you receive.
Cheers UTi
Your hard work is appreciated by many

lol about the vcd silver remarks, and thanks for the repack UTi

Yep thanks for your efforts on this one guys.

Didn't mean to stir the hornets nest with the silver remarks, I watched the whole thing a bit shit. Not going to bother with the repack as it is only cutting off 19 secs. Can handle that myself. I like UTI good cams normally a bit grainy though

You're only in as much trouble as you think you are.

now this release is good. but i hope they did not forget to solve the problem with the sound at the last , lets say about 10 , sec. of cd1. the sound is missing there . anyway , fixed the probs with their small guide , burned on RW and testet on TV
7/7/?

i duno but the group whome most of u suck their balls just contradicted themselves in a lame fashion. first they bash silver groups and say silvers destroy scene. now they say if its good they'll put it out. pathetic!

Nice job UTi good quality fast release thumbs up for you efforts
just a shame there are too many scally's who think because they download movies they have the right to criticise a group when they should be gettin of their fat arses and doing it themselves.

whoever's complaining about 19 seconds being cut from disk 1, quit complaining..all that would be missing is the title screen..geez.


Glad to see the quick fix. Thanks UTi

damit i had to re register again

hehe

it looks like they read vcdquality forums

a better fix than uti's solution is to multiplex it

TMPGEnc >File>MPG Settings>Simple Multiplex

don't lose those seconds, and it works fine

Why dont you all STOP BITCHIN like a bunch of PUSSEY'S.

if u dont like the release DONT fuckin download it .

And i agree with the quality over quantity remark.

if you're going to bitch about the 19 seconds why dont you just cut it off and put it back on again. that will fix the shit jsut fine and if you cant figure that out you shouldnt be complaining.

these groups shouldnt have to cater to your every need. do something yourself.

Some lame-ass dipshits might call this "sucking your balls." I call it showing a little gratitude.

u dont get it they said silvers ruinin the scene but then they say theyll use them. that makes no sense. u lame ass retards dont seem to understand that i wasnt hatin off UTi they are a great group but those comments didnt make much sense. also to brrrr u need to shut the fuck up.

the reason why not much is released from here is we are always last to get releases in the cinema in the uk so they aint much point in bringing something out thats already available elsewhere.
its only worth bringing out the english releases that other countrys do get.
why are so many of you so fuckin ungrateful if you can do better go fuckin cam em yourselves.
well done uti you put a smile on my daughters face.

OK OK, i watched the cd1 repack and CD2, PRETTY GOD DAMN GOOD MOVIE, well i liked it and santa clause 2 but other then thta, pic was above average for a ts, sound for a cam was like 9 but in ts rules like a 5, still better sound then most ts, in CD1 a guys head pops up and u hear a lil chattter, nuttn biggy, Sound was not a factor as it was no 8mile and u gotta hear the crazy ass freestyles, but anyway, id dl this release anyday considering tis a week pre and its very nice release. TS=7/5/8 CAM-9/9/8.

I am placing my unbiased opinion on this flick based on the sample that I watched. I didn't decide to DL it all because of poor quality. The sample of movies are usually encoded a bit better or the same quality as the rest of the release. In my opinion, this release gets a:


5 or 6 /10 for video
...Because the video is just way to bright, pixelated and grainy for my liking.

6-7 / 10 for sound
...Because it is typical cammish sound. Very hollow, and hardly stereo quality.

?? /10 for the movie
...Because I haven't seen the entire flick. I will be waiting on a better release, or unfortunately support the MPAA on this one with my $5.50.

Final Decision: Not worth the bandwidth for this 1.4GB rls.

However, despite my critisism, I would like to give UTi props for bringing us a HOMEMADE PRE-THEATRE CAM, and for not endorsing the Azn Silver scene. Every group on the scene, despite how crappy their releases are should be commended for risking their azzes for us leechers. UTi has amazed me with some of their releases, but this one just failed to do the trick.

Pre?

I don't mean to bash UTi in any way, they do some great releases, but why is everyone so hot on this being a pre? This film was showing in UK cinemas for a good five days before UTi's release. These showings were previews themselves, but anyone really wanting to see the movie wouldn't have had much trouble finding a cimena which showed it by Thursday, and I saw cinemas showing it as early as last Tuesday. Again, this isn't a criticism of UTi. It's great to see not only good cams, but UK releases... I just wish everyone wouldn't get so excited by how soon they released it... It may not be out in America (I have no idea when the first cinemas showed it), but it isn't really a pre. Unless of course the whole world revolves around America, in which case, I guess it is a pre.

And I know, I'm a stupid newbie and I should shut up.

Why are people bitchin at others for their opinion of the quality of this rls. The A/V are out of sync on this rls no matter if you multiplex or cut 19 secs out. As far as I'm concerned A/V sync is a big part of the quality. The video is a descent picture but still pixeled.

We all don't have to be on TCF's jock for this rls. Think about it this rls is a CAM you guys are all on this groups nuts for a CAM that is out of sync on disc 1.

"May be cause ppl like me that live in the US cant afford to go to the UK to see the movie and come back?"

And what has this got to do with what I said? How does that affect its being a pre or not? Just curious.

you mentioned it earlier.. the whole world does revolve around america.. so yea.. this is a pre

Well here goes

The pic isnt great its good but not great 7/10

the sound could be a lot better 5/10

my kids loved the film so 8/10

whether you like it or not this isnt what id call a Pre i went to the cinema to watch this on thursday with my kids, anyone could buy a tickiet and it was showing all day, so i guess that dosent make it some sort of special show (they were on tuesday around here)

But UTi as always come through with something watchable instead of the BLUE fucked up audio other groups releases

is it me or is there a pattern developing here as it seems its mainly the americans who complain how bad stuff is.

Anyone Got any bets of what group will try to proper this because of the missing sound....

::Cough:: ::Cough:: FTF

ok i have seen this rls (and the cd1 repack). Its ok, a bit bright in places but if they didnt do this then it would have been too dark in others (vicious circle). Audio is clear enuff, ocassional background noise. Filmed in a cinema so you do see ppl stand up and walk off a couple of times but this doesnt efect the overall viewing.

My daughter loved it so big up UTi

Visual - 6
Audio - 7
Movie - 9 (my daughters opinion)

Deejay

Just so you guys know, there's about 40 seconds of missing audio from the end of the cd1 repack, but that doesn't bother me, 40 seconds of missing audio is better than no movie at all. Thanks for bringing out the repack so early anyway.

No doubt there'll be another release coming out next week at some point, unless another UK based group will release it. Groups don't have to proper this, they just label their release as a TELESYNC without it getting nuked, and the chances are it's gonna be worse than this CAM, so groups, if you're gonna release this, make it decent. (or it's gonna be flaming time again)

Oh, and cyberkilluk, you asked how to put cd1 (77 mins) on an 80min cd, LMAO, weren't you the guy that said TCF were bringing out a 3cd screener of Harry Potter on thursday?

thanks guys. i dont know what everyones bitching about. if there complainging bout the sound and\or the picture. they should go out and cam it them selves a week early. then theyll have the right to critisize. untill they do so. stop ure bitching ne ways my only complaint is its hard ot get all the xdcc's are queued up but thats not the groups fault its the chans fualk.t keep up the good work and thanx for the pre cam of harry potter.


dont mind my spelling please i type fst and i hate re reading everything i say

Rappa take a pill man i wasnt complaining about the release ( iwatched this on my wide screen tv with a dolby pro logic decoder on the cinema setting and the sound was still not too good the pic also wasnt great as ive said unless of course you think that that was the best pic youve seen on a cammed movie ?? but i suppose youd like me to give it a 10/10/10 ? the movie was good the quality wasnt (ALL my gear is Sony or Technics) but i was remarking on another groups releases that are inherently blue with crappy sound , if you dont agree with that statement thats tough cos it is very true.


By the way this forum is here so we can ALL give our views about the movies released, if youd bothered to read my post youd see i gave it a highish mark for pic seeing as its a cam i think its pretty good but as my mark suggests the audio IN MY OPINION let it down

im soryy but someone said the sound is perfect NO WAY! . its a good release thats it . There is talking and coughing zooming in and out . a guy standing up . Gr8 release but Video worthy no more than a 6 and the audio 5 . The audio is tinny .

Way better than the FTF release last year tho . well worth the watch

In nero it says the duration is 77 min but on bottom says like 88 mins and wont burn on 80 min cd for me, anyone help me out?

The whole point of this forum is to describe and give opinions on the quality of the releases.
If someone points out that the final 30 seconds or so of audio is missing then that's a valid point, if someone feels the video is a bit bright or too grainy with the odd person walking in front of the screen or missing 19 seconds of the titles then that's a fair point worth mentioning.
THAT IS NOT BITCHING!

I have no idea why someone would be replying to the thread on the repack to complain about the audio being out of sync, as wasnt that what the repack was for?
Reply to the other thread!

My own opinion is that the video is of great quality for a release labelled CAM there are only a few scenes where the brightness is distracting usually when the camera pans to a sunlit sky. There was regularly similar probs with Cen*r*py SVCDs EP2 for example.
It didnt stop people raving about the quality.
The only time I found the slight blockiness distracting was when it was showing the snow scene at the end. I'd give it a 7/10 for picture quality, I thought it was very watchable.
The sound, apart from the missing part at the end was, in my opinion very clear, I didnt notice any overiding hiss or much background noise, for a CAM I'd give a 6/10, I did adjust my TV to improve it on my set.
On the whole a great release.
Oh and I dont really care whether its a pre or not, it's definitely a pre in usa, I'm in UK and it's still pre general release here too.

I wont comment on the movie itself as this thread is about the CD1 REPACK so only half the movie.
I've watched it, it's fine and worth the download time.

Nice job for a cam. Better than most so called "Telesyncs" that have been released as of late.

7/7/7

nice cam realease and early too

READ THIS

Hey People read this

http://msnbc.com/news/834107.asp?0si=-

hahahahahaaa! roflmao. so what its been pirated, big deal. Its not like the film industry is going to loose millions of dollars from the pirate rls.
Still that link makes a pretty funny read

Another excellent release from UTi. Excellent picture, sound much better than many TS's that have been coming out. A great movie. The glitches mentioned in the .NFO don't affect the overall quality at all.

Well done UTi. Recognised by MSNBC too!!!!

Great pic quality for a pre, sound pops alil at the beginning but soon disappears. Nice release

7.5/7/?

Now imdb has the "story" too ...

http://us.imdb.com/StudioBrief/

Good Stuff

Great Release, and y'alls Potter VCD got mentioned on CNN today, nice job

VCD playing on DVD players?

Anybody have trouble playing the burned repack on a standalone DVD player? I have a Pioneer DV-525 that plays most discs, but it wouldn't play this one... apparently it was released in PAL format? The NFO doesn't say... anyway, I re-ripped the DAT from the images, re-encoded them for NTSC, burned them, and those new discs played fine... but should I have to do this with new VCDs?
Not complaining (the quality is pretty damn good for a CAM), just wondering if any other users had a similar problem?

deesto

huh?

i have a pansonic. and it wont play the movie. i got it by burning the image onto a cd. and btw the lst minute o fteh CD 1 doesnt haev audio how od i fix this?

The best way to make sure your burning the correct format for your DVD is this.

Take the file AVSEQ.dat from the MPEGAV folder using daemon tools or Alcohol 120.

Rename to HP1.mpg (or hp2.mpg for cd2)

Start Nero (if your in US make sure the options are for burning to NTSC format) and burn as a VCD.

It should work.

Or you can use TMPEG and change to NTSC/PAL, either way works

Ok, I am currently downloading this one, so I cant comment on the quality, but I would like to Thank UTI, for labeling their cam as a cam and not a TS. Thanks for the honesty, keep up the good work!

I feel pretty dam stupid but I can't get CD2 to play. Won't work in WMP and PowerDVD. Please help this nub :P

Just throwing in my two cents... I'll be expecting change

Keeping in mind that this is a CAM release, here's my vote.

6 (VERY good overall quality for a cam, but at a few parts people in the theater move in front of the shot... short but noticable)
4 (Audio was "ok" at best... at some points you can hear the camera moving around, and on the repack, at least, it cuts out near the end of CD 1 losing a few seconds from a minor scene)
5 (Movie was good on its own merits but a massacre of the original book... but then, aren't most adaptations to screen?)

With that said, I'll wait for the DVD rip, but thanks to UTi for letting us check it out a full week before US release!

Quick note to the noobs...

If you're having trouble with these VCDs, there's some really good tutorials posted at www.vcdhelp.com - you might want to check them out.

There are LOTS of sites devoted to help with this sort of thing... please let this post be the last of it. This forum is for rating and reviewing releases - not for the VCD creation process.

i have no clue how to opne the AVSEQ01 on alcohol or daemon

This isn't the forum for help with vcds.

You really need to go somewhere else for this - the more people help out with vcd installs and ISO-related questions, the more negative attention we draw to havens like this.

Try going to www.vcdhelp.com - they have all you need.

P.S....

I'm not saying that to be a prick, either - Just try to appreciate what x69 et. al. are doing by hosting this forum. It's devoted to reviewing quality and content of group releases. There are several sites dedicated to teaching people how to make use of video files, burning CDs, and VCD issues.

HARRY SNOTTER AND THE SNOTTY SECRETS

YOU JUST NEW i would put in my 2 cents here did'ent ya. lol

So like here's what i got to say. UTI very good job getting this out as quick as possible. BUT !

The picture was alright im not complaning and the sound was alright, BUT and i do say But the timming was off when the person spoke the sound was off. poor timing,, my only complant, i did enjoy the movie, and i do apreacate it, but like i said just a bit of a timming problem on the sound .

nice release.. sound was awesome for a cam.. video was pretty good.. had to mess with brightness, but after i did it lookd awesome.. just a little dark and not as sharp as it could've been.. good movie too, better then the first

edited score

8/9/7

was really one of the most beutiful cams ive ever seen

Hey im wondering, and please dont construe this as a movie request... Did anyone dl the bad copy of cd 1???? did they use that fixed posted in vcdquality and was audio fixed or was there still a prob. ?? if anyone has had cd 1 fixed using the vcdquality method ??

just saw the sample of harry potter 2 cam -repack

i really think that this was definetly one of UTis best cam copys. When the snitch hit the ground it made a loud explosion u definetly heard that loud and clear. i think that no other group no matter how hard they try they cant top UTi's cams. FTF tried to beat them by doing a cheap telesync and that didnt work. i dont even think CTPz can beat this unless they got a preddvd screener.which is doubtless.

i rate the picture and 8 because its the best cam pic ive seen

i rate the sound a 8 because it is clear and loud and not fuzzy.

i rate the movie as a no rating because i havent seen it yet.

Hi there.

I was wondering with the repack...

do i copy the 26 rar files into the original cd 1 directory and overwrite the files? .....im kinda lost in what to do. Ive got Cd2 burned, and have cd1 and c1 repack. Not sure what i should do.

Could someone help me?

thanks

just wanted to say thx uti.
the missing sound is unfortunate tho.
