That would make NO diferance, I said it was the contrast on the monitor, the fact that the bars were on the sample makes NO differance. If the monitor is a tad to high, then YES, then sample would also have those black bars.

I can't help but wonder - wtf is the matter with a little bit of borked audio and "for your consideration" when you're getting a good qual. vid that is not gonna be out for sale or rent for like 8 more months?

I've been d/l flix for years and I love the GIFTS these rls groups give to us. Used to be you had to wait for a fkn VHS if you didn't know anybody at a video store to hook you up with a screener.

I give this rls 9 / 8 / 8.

Since I want a perfect rls, I'm gonna buy it at the end of 2003 on DVD in 6.1 digital and save my bitching for morning rush hour.

btw - Ohm load depends on if you wire your speakers in serial or parallel - there are ways to do it if you know what the fk you're doing.

PROPS and THX to all the RLS Groups EVERYWHERE!

that enough of that

peace

Sure, lowering the contrast makes them go away, but what I want to know is why they are there. Did TDi use those bars to block out a serial or something? It's not that important; I was just curious.

Okay guys, concerning the back bars seen in both the sample and actual movie. Anamorphic DVDs have a video aspect ratio of 16x9, or roughly 1.77. LOTR: TTT however was shot in Super 35 for a ratio of 2.35:1.

Thus, to fully recreate the entire 2.35 frame in a 1.77 box results in some small black bars on the top and bottom. It seems that on the DVD screener those black bars are not actually true black, so if your monitor's contrast/brightness is set too high, those bars will appear as a shade of gray in contrast to the actual black background of your monitor. Make sense?

P.S. The same can be seen with showing an anamorphic DVD on a 16x9 widescreen TV. The "black bars" are still present, but significantly smaller than those on a 4x3 screen. And if the contrast/brightness is set too high, those black bars can seem to be gray.

Finally got around to watching it on a big screen tv with a dvd player. Video is excellent but the audio sounds very compressed, especially in the higher frequencies and the sound effects often drowned out the dialouge. Still a good release but the audio should be better.

Hey guys, question for ya.... why isnt this baby on Kazaa yet?

I'm all cured and better now! Although my hearing is still shot to shit.

Played it on my pc upstairs and on my dvd player downstairs and yes, I can hear the sound people are talking about. I didn't find it annoying, some might. I've experienced similair things, for example when I converted Harry Potter 2 Divx to SVCD so a friend could watch it on his dvd player, I got the same sound problems then.

Anyway, great release, this'll do me till the retail version comes out.

And there have been far too many posts about this release. Any chance of the thread being tidied up a bit?

finally put in the time to register since it seems nobody else noticed this

the .bin isnt a correct SVCD format.
Telling windvd to play the disc doesnt work.
Well it doesnt for me, anyone else wanna confirm this?
PowerDVD will play the disc in disc mode however, but it sounds crap in PDVD

Yeah, I was wondering about that. I thought it was just me.

I can only play it with WinDVD by putting the mpeg in a playlist.

In my standalone, its fine except that disc 1 iis Soooo close to 80 minutes that a small set of fingermarks on the CD edge stopped the last 30 seconds from playing. Or maybe my player is too fussy.

Anyway, GREAT release.
