gr8 nfo

Stereo sound and it's in bin/cue format... how lucky can we get Pic is actually a bit better too. More salt rubbed into the wounds...

8/8/5.

Thanks TCF! V-CD's was ok, but everything you said your info was all true. Esp. the part where you say no group is exempt from the rules. Thnx guys.

fair enough bin/cue - VidCD did apologise and its not THAT inconventient
fair enough stereo - but VidCDs [at least from sample] seems quality enough, especially for those who wait for DVD release until storing

but then again fuck it, this is better [from sample only just now], props for quality, competition is only good...

TCF rocks again!!...........slow start movie but if they release it its worth getting....now get ready for the upcoming holiday season

Good to see the mods are taking action against people voting 10/10/10 and 1/1/1 stating
'DO NOT VOTE 1/1/1 or 10/10/10 or your voting privileges will be revoked! this is your warning!'

There were about 6 votes like this and they've been removed but i noticed people are putting 2/2/n/a and stuff. lamers

Azrael, your dumb. You voted 2/2/? just because you are lame and their release was damned well worth a better than a 2. The other releases were nuked for not being in the iso format so maybe this one won't be nuked and will get around more.

i'm grateful for this releaese, but they really shouldnt bash VideoCD as much as they did in their NFO..

people make mistakes..and i wouldnt redownload a release just so i'd get a nice bin/cue so bandwidth wasting was not necessery as VideoCD stated.

I'm sure they have some kind of prior feud with VideoCD or something. Maybe something not public but they bashed them in both nfo's so something is going on that we don't know. , I shouldn't be nosey anyway.

I think this is slightly unnecessary. But hey, since everyone says its better, go right ahead. Stereo is a valid point too.
And yes, stereo doesn't just mean having two audio channels.

I notice a light blue haze (almost white fog line) at the bottom on 1 or 2 scenes at the bottom of the picture, just above the bottom black bar on these 3-4 month early retail DVDs. I noticed them on:

Murder By Numbers
Van Wilder
Blade 2
Royal Tenenbaums
Super Troopers
and Lord of the Rings

I was thinking of taking screenshots of them all. But I wouldn't know what to do with em. hehe

Just got teh sample, rules or not, tis better...

Great Job. NFO info not needed. Seemed to me their was to much justification like they felt they had to explain them selves, I hate that. Other wise good work keep it up.

This version was not necessary after VideoCD's release.

okay. let's get something straight here. stereo means that the sound is being reproduced form TWO seperate channels, whether or not the channels contain different information. mono means that the sound is being reproduced from only ONE channel. it doesn't take a genius to understand that the terms stereo and mono refer to the number of channels and not the contents of them either, nokia.

you can tell me baby: what is that stuff?

nkotb_lover, the standard for vcd's is 2 channels, so in theory you don't actually get mono sound. What nokia is trying to say is that both channels (L+R) are exactly the same, ie from a mono source. VideoCD's SOURCE is mono and TCF's SOURCE is stereo. Thanks.

Er yea, sorry if I was a little confusing in my previous post. What I meant was exactly what Asterisk said, VideoCD's L+R has the same stream (or whatever you call it) and TCF's contains a seperate L stream and a seperate R stream producing true stereo audio. People get confused and think that it's not mono if it has audio coming out from L+R, but that's not true.

Stereo means 2 seperate different channels, if a mono source is fed through a Dolby Surround decoder then all you get is center channel sound.

If i encode a DVD from DD5.1 448k sound to 128kMono, it will come out both speakers on a stereo system, that doesn't mean its stereo, i can tell a mono source right away, but a surround decoder helps too, and Power DVD's Dolby Pro-Logic2 mode can tell instantly.

How does this compare to the subbed version?

Better all round, better picture, much better sound, and no subs.

But if youve already downloaded and watched the subbed version i dont really think you should get this, i only redownload for a DVD-Rip, i had the second disc of the subbed version, and decided against the first because of the sound.
