K heres the real deal about both releases and the fix u can apply...

CD1 audio from first release had "extra" background music not even meant to be there ..mayb it was the person who sourced the movie who added it in ..youll notice it most last few mins when the taxi guy picks up the assassin again....If that wasnt bad enough this extra audio is so loud it drowns out the conversation in cab....

CD1 REPACK audio is much better and most importantly DOES NOT HAVE THE EXTRA MUSIC mentioned above..BUT towards the end of CD1 the audio goes missing leaving 30 secs or so video with no sound..

Whats the best options for this movie?...

Cut last 30 seconds off the first CD1 and add it to the end of the CD1 REPACK...You can use tmpencoder to do this..the exact time to cut and add the parts is 56.59.01 mins/secs

so did they fix the audio mixing problem in this repack?

I got cd2 but didn't make it that far last night (had cd1
from the first release).

anyhow, cd1 - every freakin time they go to talk, the fvcking
background music goes up like 6dB, lol.

am I to expect the same with cd2?

if they fixed this in the repack, I'll probably grab cd1 again...
movie is really good.

wathced this today, very nice quality. the video is very good, one thing which i really appreciated was the english hardcoded subs (i could be wrong, but i think they were added after the capping and not on the original film print, ie by maven, and that really shows they put time into this). the movie also takes place during night and the picture is exceptionally good for a TS. the audio seemed strange to me (yes i have the repack not the original), it sounded like there was some kind of a buzz or tinnyness like old ctp releases, maybe it was just my ears or setup, but it was still good. the movie didnt disappoint either, definatley one of my faves from this year.

9/8.5/8.5

I thought I DL the maVen repack but I still had some audio overlapping problems. The video quality was excellent though, and the movie was pretty good too, Tom Cruise is a bad ass!!!

9/7/8.

At the end of the first cd.. the sound cuts out.. only for 20 seconds.. not a big deal.. the beginning of the 2nd cd has sound.. and is fine.


It seems cropped a little bit..
very watchable.. the sound is kinda low.. have to turn your tv ALL THE WAY UP.. other than that.. it is good quality..


Sound 6.5/10

Video 8.0/10


Movie 7/10

Good release maven.

There were some audio quirks that were minor. I ended up converting the audio to DTS and messed around with the channel levels a bit. It's made it much more enjoyable. Nonetheless, video and audio is at 8/7.5 with movie content @ 8.5.

Watched it all last night, great movie- cruise's best for a long time.
anyways I watched origional cd1 with repack cd2 and the audio is a bit messed up on the origional cd1, as posted earlier by someone else there is an overlap of some sound effects (gunshots from earlier scenes) and incidental music that gets pretty loud during dialogue. I managed to watch it without many problems, but wished I had grabbed the rp1 at the worst points.

audio 9 video 9 movie 9

Nice "kinda quick" repack on this kick-ass movie. Audio is MUCH better now!

8/9/10

All i see everyone talking about is the 30 seconds missing audio in the first cd. didnt anyone else notice the left and right channels were different audio? didnt you notice while they were driving down the street doing nothing you would hear crazy shit like gunshots from the left channel or jazz music playing way after the jazz club scene was over. all only coming from the left channel?

anyway this movie was great and the TS was great, best ive seen in a long time. even with the messed up sound from the non repacked cd1 i would give the sound a 7 cuz it wasnt that noticable till then end.

8/9/10 gr8 movie.

repacked review.

Watched whole release. Good film but would have enjoyed it more if sound wasn't so muffled throughout the WHOLE movie. Picture was flawless, cam did do some minor shaking for about a second, can't wait for screener or DVDRip.

Audio, at times, sounded like the actors were talking with shit in their mouth.

There is no way in hell that the audio (in the repack) could be greater than a 7. I'm pissed because I struggled to hear some dialog, so a 6 I give.

9/6/8

WHAT A SHAME,the video quality is superb for such an early release.but the missing 29 seconds of audio at the end of the first cd totally ruins the whole enjoyment of the film....GUTTED.

8/6/9 - Even with the repack the audio seemed too low on some parts.

Hi everyone,

Not sure where you ppl are getting your repacks from, but in my Tar file it included the 40 sec audio fix for cd1. Guess either you just skipped it or got the repack from someplace that unpacked it for you and didn't include cd1's end audio fix.

cd 1 is missing like 25 seconds of audio not really a big deal. as for the film i really enjoyed it. props to maven for repacking it so fast well done guys

there is a nice RE-repack of cd1 floating around with the last 30 seconds added... (someone spliced the missing portion in from the original release, and was nice neough to send it into the wild!)

enjoy
