TDC's release was good enough.

DID compromise some crutial bitrate by using 2 CDs. noticable to anyone familiar w/ encoding.. u might not want this rls and be perfectly happy w/ TDC's rls.. but dont criticize a perfectly good proper..



/me just hopes FLiX didnt use DVD2SVCD again

Its clear TDC is a good encoder from a top group who prefers 2 cd releases. Made a new group name and released it.

I personally watched it and saw no flaws. Its clear it was done by someone with experience and not some noob.

There are some expert groups who do 125 min to 2CDs, this isn't a first time thing.

If ya want perfection bitrate, buy the DVD. 2CDs is for me.

TDC's rip could have also been propered for not having any subtitles during all the parts in Czech for example.

m-drew the reason why krazy said "i hope its not dvd2svcd" is cause the program puts a track before the movie with a pix of there logo on it. Its a waste of time and yes flix did encode with dvd2svcd on this one

p.s. I wonder why your not all bitching about the lack of subtitles you cared so much about femme fatal having them you would download a whole nother release but xxx has no subs even though the theater release i seen had them so the dvd must have them. I don't understand spanish or any of the other languages they speak.

Have you guys WATCHED the entire TDC version on a standalone? I have, and it pixelates all over the place. Why do you guys continue using words such as "perfect"... "flawless" to describe it?? Pisses me off that people look at 2minute samples, or jpeg samples, and claim releases to be fine.

I'm downloading the 3cd FLiX version. Don't waste your time with this 2cd rip if you enjoy watching perfect dvdrips.

from amazon "Format: Color, Closed-captioned, Widescreen, Dolby"
Closed caption=a form of subtitles.

I overheard that this release was overbitrate, is that true? TDC's was underbitrate, FLiX's is overbitrate... we have another minority report fiasco coming soon, heh.

I'm going to have to agree... saw it on a friends 40" tv last night and I could easily pick out certain scenes where pixelation occured.. Again I'm not complaining that this probably won't satisfy some people ... just that a proper was required and supplied by flix....

Had the first cd from tdc, noticed the jagged edges & didn't bother with cd2, gonna have to get the flix rel.
btw, for those saying it's perfect/flawless etc, are you watching it on your monitor, an old tv, or something?

it still amazes me that people complain about having a CHOICE of versions!

".. good idea, lets release a 3cd version over a flawless 2 cd version, then blame them 4 puting it on 2 cd's as a excuse for releasing it late"

Jesus there are some lame ass peeps in the world. Obviously you guys dont know that there are rules to releasing SVCD movies! The only reason they are there is so some lame ass group that doesnt give a shit about what it looks like can't release BS material... The rules are there for a reason so for those who dont know about them they should shut up cus the group that screwed up the first release did know about them!!! They had plenty of time to release a proper, but they didn't so if you wanna bitch about a stupid release then you should look to the first group who jacked it up!

Are you on crack, I've got TDC pixelated piece of shit and I have to say it's only midly better than the screener and the screener was shit as well.

If you know anything about encoding (I know some) you know you put an ACTION movie over 2 hours on 3 CDs. The bitrate is MUCH lower on a 2 CD version. If it were a movie that didnt have much action , it wouldnt be so bad to have a 2 CD SVCD release. But this movie has action doesnt it. I prefer a 3 CD release I dont mind getting up off my ass to change the CDs. There are such things as 3 and 5 DVD changer players... it isnt a big deal to push a button on the remote to change the CDs jesus christ. You should always go for the highest bitrate when encoding movies (I never go lower than 1900) the lower you go the more pixelated and the worse it looks. Just logic. Props for both groups. We arent releasing the movies so we cant bitch when they have to spend money to give us releases and we just leave our comps on all night and have the movie in the morning.

sorry but what was the actual video bitrate of this proper release?

Quality is great, no problems here. I run the svcd in both the my computer monitor and my flat screen tv, and it works great.
