Good Rip

Audio: 9
Video: 9
Movie: 8

I saw this at the movies. Worth seeing just to watch the interaction between Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen. THe last time they were together in a movie was in A History of Violence.

Many thanks to the poster.

this is a great version but kingbens is superior ...

BALDS version >>> Video: 608×336 | 720kbit/s
Audio: 130kbit/s | VBR MP3

KINGBENS version >>> Video: 720×304 | 1198kbit/s
Audio: 160kbit/s | CBR MP3

but as this hits the stores on january 13 I expect the dvd rip within 2 weeks anyway, so Im holding my horses on this one.

How is that superior? Because the numbers are higher?

That CBR from the second encode should give you a hint that the person responsible doesn't have the slightest clue on what he does there.

BaLD encode has wrong AR, though, should be 2.35:1 according to IMDB... is this one Open Matte or is it cropped to 16:9?

You are right. CBR on xvid should only be used with AC3 rips. I am not sure if KingBens release is AC3, I severely doubt it though, so encoding this bloats the file a bit. The resolution for the video is nice, but really not needed.

My guess this release was taken from a p2p source, converted to DVD and sold or uploaded from the street to BaLD with claim that it was legit. I wouldnt want to point a finger and claim BaLD downloaded the release directly from a p2p source, but it has been on p2p for a week now. I personally havent had anytime to grab it yet.

From what the sample looks like on the BaLD rls it is Open Matte and just given the 16:9 bars, not actually encoded to 16:9. I only grabbed the sample to be coherent to this conversation.

Overall I am glad this is out because theaters near me have stopped showing this and I love westerns.

v- 8
a- 8
m- cant wait to watch.

my ratings are based on the sample.

Well, yes actually.

And CBR is higher quality than VBR. The only reason the scene uses VBR is to try and create a smaller filesize, yet it's not as high a quality as CBR.

Lies. VBR encoding sets a specific bitrate for each frame. The more intense or noisy the higher the bitrate gets. Silence can be encoded at the lowest bitrate. How can a 160k cbr mp3 compete with a vbr mp3 that can be 128k one second then 320k the next? Sure, 320k cbr is higher quality than vbr, but is it really necessary?

Excellent quality. Good western. And you Geeks can sure talk shit.
