not the best vhs screener ive seen but not bad at all

nags is that there is a blurred out seriel at the top middle of the picture, but you hardly notice it.

Video: 8 - Very grainy especially on detailed scenes
Audio: 9 - Perfect for vhs but not up to dvd standards.

Hows the quality on this one??

ill wait for a dvdscr, good release tho

v 8 (nice screener, grainy-ish but good colors and the dark scenes arent shit quality like maven's)

a 9 (nice)

m ? (ive not watched yet, i fell asleep after 10mins of the maven copy)

thanks STiNKER/FUCK

the difference between compression and encoding is:

compression software works the same way as trying to get The 404, who is 350lbs, through a normal door. its method is to basically keep kicking The 404 until he gets thru the door. This works quickly, but leaves a nasty mess.

encoding software is the equivalent of The 404 going on a diet and walking thru the door. takes longer and sometimes more skill, but ultimately worth it.

Yikes, no better than Maven's TS, and full frame to boot. Also includes a blurred portion smack dab in the top center of the frame.

Mediocre release at best, even for a VHS screener...

Video: 5 (Heavy pixelization from sample)

Audio: 7

Movie: ???

Decent copy, clearer and easier to see than the TS, but very grainy and blocky most of the time, and the 4:3 ratio dont help things.

Sound is good though.

7/9/9

They prob shouldnt of used mpeg as the Quant type, considering the length of this movie, the AR and the source, H.263, would of prob looked much better.

Video 5 ( Very Blocky)
Sound 8- Clear
Movie 7

Why oh why dont these groups release the initial copy onto SVCD or CVD, there would be hardly any blockiness and then the xvid conversions would also be good quality, personally VCD is utter garbage and should of been dropped years ago, you can get some decent transferrs from VHS tape, just my thoughts, anyone else agree that vcd 1150 bit rate is shite!!!

This is better than the maven ts xvid, hence... it's the best rls out right now. It's much brighter and the sound is full and clear. It's pan & scan, but so what.... it's the best copy out now.

I am watching it on my 32" lcd monitor and I don't see much blockiness at all. Maybe viewing at full screen, you'd get that though.

for a screener:
v 7
a 8
m 9

Unchecked Video score

As far as I can tell, the average from all of the proposed video scores so far,
is around the 6-7 out of 10 level.

This sounds exactly right for the grainy, pixelated picture that I have seen.

Why the official rating is still set at 8.5 is beyond me!
Hopefully this error will be addressed before these sloppy figures cause more people to waste time/bandwidth downloading sub-par efforts.

Fast forward to the end credits to see just how distorted everything is.

sound 7
plot itself 7 (not too bad)

p.s to STINKER,
In her shoes had decent picture. Why release this??? To keep a good reputation you must refrain from associating your name with crap results. If you don't think the picture is better than at least a 7.2 is it really worth releasing?

v 7
a 8
m ??? Still haven't watched the hole thing. (this is going from a sample.)
