Cold Mountain *NTSC* - DVDRIP - Replica

Good to see the releases are coming strong lately!

This is one I've been waiting for and I was pretty excited. Unfortunately this falls into the, too much movie for a DVD-R. This heavy weight is 155 mins long, which is alot of movie to fit onto a small ol' DVD-R. Of course, nothing we can do about this until dual-layer burners, so enjoy this release, it's the best you'll get unless you buy the movie.

Video 7.5/10 - Video quality is between decent and good. Glad to see a CCE encode on this one (not sure still what to think of Replica's ProCoder release of Bad Santa... Didn't read too many good things about the encoder except it's fast). I was expecting much worse from a long, dark movie like this one, but ultimately I found it was neither good or bad.

DVD-R 10/10 - Replica did really well. At 3270 video + 448 audio + 98 commentary, you get pretty much the whole disc packed with just the movie. Pretty much the way I like it, and definitely the only way to give a movie this long any justice. As I said, as good as you'll get on a 4.38 gig disc.

This is definitely a movie that will have MUCH better quality if you buy it (since this release was heavily downsampled), plus you get the second disc of extras (if that's your cup of tea). Oh! And the DTS (not like you need it though)...

hey porco556 could you tell me if this is w.s or f.s, nfo doesn't say

holysmoke420 it's W.S

Its 16:9 WIDESCREEN...

Straight from Replica "All our DVDRs will be Procoder produced"

So I think I'm just going to wait and buy this one... haven't seen it yet, and don't care much for Procoder rips, I think they look similar to TMPEncs results myself. So don't believe their nfos...

Nothing against Replica... but I don't like Procoder at all.. tried it/failed it.

thank you!

You're right porco556, maybe they got more then 1 ripper cause I just seen the one guy argue about it in a private channel (not naming any names). Anyhow, I'll give this a shot then since it's CCE. I know I didn't like Replica's Bad Santa. aNBc's Bad Santa was flawless.

All I have to say to Replica is pleaseeeee stop using Procoder, fast motion is pure garbage...

Good quality on this one considering movie length.

Quality was good on my 50 inch projector, as others said, considering the length of the film... Nothing spectacular, but solid nonetheless...

Havent seen aNBC's release, so I wouldnt be able to compare.

Dont know what to say about the whole Procoder vs. CCE debate... Id really like to see a side-by-side comparison of the same source dub to make the determination of the better encoder.

8/10/?
