I have exactly the same shit, finishes 2hr48min and roughly 30ish seconds, apart from that it went lovely, i only have whitelabel media which I have found to be the best for movies and this is my first bad one out of around 40. I burned it twice and its exactly the same. Any ideas???? btw i did patch it with supplied patch

I had a friend burn this for me... so is he just a lame-brain or is this happening to everyone?

Also, no skips or hangs/freezes in this release for me.

You didn't use isobuster did you? Also, try NOT patching it. I didn't patch mine since US is NTSC, and all the ones I've burned have been 100% fine, play all the way through, to the end, even credits Btw, I ONLY use Branded TDK Media.

Sorry if this has already been posted (I only read throught the first 6 pages of this thread up to when the people crying for a 2-disc DVD-R got their wish.)

I don't currently own a DVD burner, so I intend to unpack the .img file contained in the Winrar archive, delete the archive, unpack the image, delete the .img file, and run the .vob files on my computer with PowerDVD (or whatever DVD player prog. I decide to go with). I imagine there should be no problems at all with this, but I am curious as to whether or not I should apply the fix to the .img file before I unpack it if I'm not going to bother ripping it onto a disc anyway...

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I didn't use isobuster or the patch. Used NEO DVD to burn the .IMG file. What is weird is that I played the .IMG file with a mounted DVD drive (Alcohol 120%) and it played fine. So it has to be somewhere in the burning process!

In short, the IND version looks and sounds fine, but the Reign should be even better. And by the way, my TV's only worth $1K.

I wish you well in your efforts to purge the world of elitism. I hope you enjoy watching your copy of The Two Towers, which I would assume you've converted to Betamax.

Don't know if this is in the right forum but I am having a problem with the playback on this release.

I used ISOBuster to extract the Video_TS and Audio_TS and used the newest version of Nero, ver 5.5.10.0. I create a blank DVD-ROM UDF template and drag the two folders over. On the UDF tab I force XBox compatibility and away the burn goes.

It burns fine and plays in my XBox and on my PC. But about 2:15 into the movie the video starts chopping and basically becomes completley unwatchable. This happens on both my XBox and PC using PowerDVD. My friend's copy is doing the same on his Playstation 2.

I am using Imation DVD-R and burning at 1X using Panasonic DVD-RAM/R.

Are there any other programs that can assure playback in a XBox?

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

While I'm by no means new to forums, I am new to this one.

I've been lurking for a few days, reading and learning, in hopes of snagging the REiGN Two Towers release. I'm a self-confessed videophile, I own all the requisite hardware and deeply enjoy the DVD format. I would desperately like to get my hands on this release. I've already seen the movie 3 times, but would still enjoy seeing it on my HT.

What I can't figure out is why so many assume that the desire for the highest quality release is a bad thing. This is digital information folks, not fine wine. Copying a DVD screener takes all of about 5 minutes of real work, minus the waiting for the IFOEdit and the burner to finish their magic. A downsampled copy is nothing more than a diluted copy. Like ditch weed, nice in a pinch, but defintely not preferred. Why not post the screeners at their full potency?

If piracy for profit wasn't such an issue it wouldn't matter. But most of the time people take the higher end ones & make money off them, which is bullshit. Yeah, I'm talking about China & the other 3rd world shitty countries. Actually, you deserver nothing. You get what you can get. Because this is based on group status & EGO, you'll pretty much always get what you want.

Do a search on ebay for Two Towers DVD. That is the kinda shit that gives all of this a bad name.

Any movie for that matter.

If you want Quality, don't waste your time with the REiGN one, get the DsR 2 release.

I know the original rip was fine...and I am playing it directly from a mounted .img file.

Just didn't know if there was a bad copy floating around though...

If you got the release unpacked (not the .img-file) is there a way to patch the movie for the bad frame? It's for the Reign-release...

I know I'm a little late with posting to this group but I thought I had a problem on my hard drive end. Seems not...I have a new, very empty hard drive.

When I try to unpak the file with WinRAR 3.0 it gets to 94% complete (part 87) and I get the message "write error in the file lotr2-dvdr-scrnr.img. Probably the disk is full". This happens every time and the disc is definitly not full. I can't click past it, it will only let me cancel the unpaking.

Any ideas? Thanks
