CTP don't conform to standards. Ok? its nothing to do with the quality of the player, if i bought a $1000 player it could still have probs with CTPs releases. And its more than likely nothing to dowith a PAL source, if u have a multisync tv, leave the player in PAL mode. Look at the bitrates CTP use. 1246kbit Video, 128kbit audio. Something look odd? yep. they release in XVCD and a lot of players dont fully support this. VCD spec is 1150kbit Video, 224kbit audio. CBR. not VBR.
Im not flaming CTP or anything, cos i play their releases fine, but now u know why their releases look "awesome" for some people, and "lagged" for others. At first I believed FTF should've kept the release internal, now im not so sure. I imagine if 99% of other groups released in non-standard VCD format, they'd be nuked. Centropy have managed to get people to respect them so much this wont happen for them. As i said, i dont care, but whats stoppin everyone else from releasing in XVCD now? then those with Apex and other non-compatable players wont get to see anything properly. Think about it.
Very Nice JOb pHo! I agree about the the fact that CTP is one of the few, if there is even another who could get away with this... I'm not complaining... Most CTP releases are fine. But dont Flame FTF for making a MORE Compatible version. You dont have to get it, but others may need it to enjoy the Movie. I dont see whats wrong with FTF anyway...
