EXACTLY. everyone points at the fact that ctp releases the best TS's, as a rule, and uses that as justification for this SVCD nonsense. But they are forgetting that CTP already was releasing the best TS's, as a rule, when they were releasing in VCD. It's just that, because that is true, they get away with pushing this ridiculous idea that SVCD will make a lower quality source, like TS, better somehow.
The Resident Evil is a good example of a VCD that looked at least as good as these recent SVCD's, and that proves that it's the source & the encode, not the format, that makes the difference with TS's.
In fact, I have seen VCD's that were much better than these SVCD's (vcd's that were capped from TV broadcasts, for instance); which again shows, if the release can not even use the full potential of VCD, why are they bothering with the added potential of SVCD?
Now, I'm not putting CTP down for releasing these movies... they are a quality group, and I'm glad to have their releases. Nevertheless, I do not agree with this decision to create this new catagory of release. It is needlessly inconsiderate of those with bandwidth or volume d/l restrictions, causes more congestion / strain on sites & the entire scene infrastructure, and forces lower retention on sites, pushing older releases off more quickly... all for something that serves no good purpose whatsoever.
IMO, there is potential benefit from using SVCD on SVHS, Digital Television Broadcasts, and DVD ripping. There is NO benefit to using SVCD for VHS, TS, CAM, or analog broadcast television captures.
When you rave about how good their latest SVCD release of (whatever) is, try to gather up enough short-term memory to recall that you were doing the exact same thing when they were releasing VCD TS's, which were better than anyone else's. Do you think that if FTF could simply encode their releases as SVCD, and have them be great TS's, they wouldn't be doing it?
