Hey lolobo21

The reason you're probably seeing pausing in the last few minutes is that your player can't handle the low bit rate... it's probably really apparent in the credits...

This move works fine on my old Pioneer 333, but stutters towards the end on my newer Toshiba.

I checked it in my Pioneer and the bitrate at the points where the Toshiba stutters is pretty low... (under 2k in some spots) I guess that unit is not as tolerant of lower bit rates...

just finished checkin this out..

first off pretty good movie..

as for the rls.. i am very surprised with the quality despite it being re-encoded.. the PQ was very crisp.. on the 56" 16:9 HDTV DLP.. i have no complaints, but leave me wondering.. if it can look this good re-encoded.. how did the original look..

as for the audio.. I used the DTS track and I was pleased with it..

menus worked, and no problems playing on my philips dvp642

great release overall except keeping both audio channels.. not necessary to have both..

however i would understand the reasoning, because without a proper receiver that can decode DTS.. u will have no audio if played on anything else.. the DD 5.1 track can be decoded by the dvd players.. but still.. 1 or the other so more room for video..

Thats my 1/2 pennies worth, still a good release.

Im all for DTS, actually having a system that can decode it unlike many others who dont.

DTS isnt always better. It depends which format the sound engeneer worked with in the first place. It is a gamble as to which to choose. You simply have to try both, to see which one was tweaked, and which one was thrown on as extra.
Encoding an old lp to DTS won't make it sound any better :P higher bitrate or not.
