Worth Watching.

From a sample: Its a full screen release so you can notice the pixels a bit more, but the quality seems worth watching.
7.5/8/?

hmmm, its close but i think this is just a bit better of a rls than the pot, although the dark scenes are quite as easy to see, overall the movie is a bit better quality

Hi,

I prefer the POT release i found the LRC zoomed in to watch (as if the cammer was in the front row) the aspect ratio seemed fine on the POT release..

Dark scenes seem better on the CAM-POT for me..

stu

First Off, Cam Released Has way better video fo sur!

Vid:5.5
Audio7
movie?

Nice try, but grab the pot release or wait for a better copy

This is in my opinion the better of the two early rls' produced so far. Mainly due to the superior audio, but also some video aspects too.

From viewing sample and the first 10 .rar's

Video - Well the cameraman cant decide what he wants to do for the first few minutes during the intro scenes. A lot of jiggling about and a lot of zooming in and out, as he settles. But once he does settle (around 30seconds following the title sequence) it is now in a full screen view........no i dont find this too bad an option, but it does however cut out a fair proportion of the screen.
Is still slightly tilted from right to left but the picture is good and clear, nice colors. In my opinion this picture is better than POT's as it is less dark.......and bareable in this zoomed in position.

Audio - a nice direct source. no problems as of yet. not the clearest TS ive heard but still a good.

6.5/8.5/*

Stick with the Pot release video is nowhere near as clear and the sound on the pot release was not that bad.
video 5.5
audio 7 hard to judge the audio from sample as there sample wasn't picked very wisely...unless of course it was deliberately picked to fudge any sync issues?

sorry but this is tha one to go with. POT is too dark and there heads are squished looking, not to mention that this has better audio. dont know when these groups are going to figure out that ZOOMING in on the screen SUCKS. i mean have they ever seen a centropy/videocd/maven rls.KEEP yo FINGER off THA zoom BUTTONS pls. and they are both cropped at the same place,watched them side by side.

From some rars:

5/8/?

Video - VCD. The AR is correct in this one and it's FS. IMO not as good as POT's video cuz the FS contributes to some pixelation.

Audio - nice sound on this one. And from the few rars plus sample seems to be in sync.

how is it that both releases are exactly the same length:

1:45:21 ?

that's pretty amazing unless LRC used POT's source and if they did wouldn't that make it a dupe?

The audio is better on this one, but the Video is quite a bit worse, dark and pixely, and not as sharp as the Cam.

If you have the bandwith and really want to see this film early, then get both releases and put the audio of this with the Cam video.

5/7/?

on CD1 it seems to jump to another seen, around 39:27 , dunno how much or if anything is missing, but seems like it jumps quite abit

Definately scene missing on CD1...
Overall very watchable. Bit dark and pixelated.
7/9/7

Ok watched this and would give it a 5/7/?

I see thou that Hostage.SVCD.TS-SAOSiN has been released i have fewed first CD and getting 2nd now damn it looks mighty good audio great can it be another copy of another groups work or finally have they made it on there own!

This saosin release is the best so far by a good bit! So anyone wondering what to get i would grab the Saosin when u can

This post is getting slammed more then it deserves. I've watched cd2 and it's not bad. The video is dark, but the sound is good. The colors aren't washed out yet they aren't bright either. If this was the only TS, I'd be happy with it. Good job guys and it's a good release.
