This is very weird. I REFUSE to watch this movie on my computer monitor, as I want to see it on my hi res TV, but I'm having a CRAP of a time getting it encoded to DVD. I tried with TMPGEnc Plus, but for some odd reason, after using ISO to extract the mpg files, TMPGEnc Plus won't even ACCEPT CD's 2 and 3. It will ONLY accept CD1 for conversion to DVD format. So instead, I used Mainconcept to convert all 3 CD files from SVCD to DVD format, and after doing THAT, the freakin SOUND is out of sync on CD's 2 and 3! This is REALLY pissing me OFF! There is definitely something WRONG with CD's 2 and 3. So anyways, right now, I'm using Mainconcept to convert all 3 CD's to DVD format, then after that's done, I'm going to use TMPGEnc Plus to re-sync the sound on CD's 2 and 3 by using "audio gap correct" in the source range sub-section of the "advanced" section of the MPEG settings section. And you have to GUESS what the audio gap is by making a 1 minute clip as a test clip to sync the sound on, instead of trying to sync an entire CD, only to find out that it's not QUITE in sync. This is the 1st time I've even bothered with audio syncing a movie, but I REALLY want to see this flick without any glitches.
By the way, for those of you that read this and even know what I'm talking about, I've already figured out the sync setting, and it's 800 ms. Set it to that, and your video and audio will be synced correctly for CD's 2 and 3.
to be honest, this thing needs to be repacked. There are WAY too many mistakes in this release. It's hella good video quality, no doubt about THAT, but to WATCH it, you have to go through hell and high water!
After I've actually SEEN the movie, I'll post an update on the video and video quality, but I figured since I'm not the only one that's having a problem with this release, I'll post what I've done so far in case the info might help someone else out.
UPDATE:...............(8-7-04)
After doing all the above, I was able to finally sit down and watch the entire flick on my DVD player with no glitches. That was the hardest I ever had to work just to watch a movie, but I like that because it made me learn more about how to fix screwed up releases. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I have to put that knowledge to use again.
Anyways, the video quality of the movie was quite good. Nice and bright when it needed to be. There were some dark scenes, but they were tolerable. The audio was on point, no problems there. The movie itself was ODD. I could not get into it at ALL. I never saw the original, but many people say it was good. If te original is anything like this one, then I don't wanna see it!
Video - 8.5
Audio - 9
Movie - 4
