I'm sort of disappointed also, but here's my review based on disk 1...
Video - nice full screen, no counters or watermarks but poorly encoded (maybe the source isn't 1st gen). pixelation and ghosting occurs in motion scenes (maybe that's why the sample is a slow scene), kinda grainy, there is an annoying color fade on the top portion of the video (sort of like bad tracking, and the colors fade in and out)
Sound - TERRIBLE, low volume, slight hisssssssssssssss (which pisses me off enough hearing them on telesyncs), and last but not least.. it's mono.
Final conclusions based on my opinions of a screener and from judging the source, I'd say video could have been better but audio flat out sucks. But best version out so far so I give them props for that 6/4/9. Too bad too, I liked this film.
Pic is nice, but Sound not all that great. Although I dont think its worth a proper just cuz sound unless a group can put it out in a couple days. I'll keep this till DVD Rip. Overall good job on quickness VideoCD, we didnt have to wait that long for SCR.
Pop Pop Fizz Fizz Buzzzz.... What he say?¿ Sounds just like this movie yet this movie sound just sucks. What went wrong? I suppose someone will proper it vid is a typical scr but the sound WOAH! o well its nuked but still can dl but I won't bother. From sample I rate 7.5/4/6 I saw the movie b4 lol. Btw petrocs read PM thanx.
Not a bad movie... Could be a little better quality screener, but it still beats the TS. Awesome action scene halfway into cd 1. Audio is pretty good. Has a bit of a high end hiss..
A great release by videocd, I don't expect TCF quality from them and they don't deliver it but they come a lot closer than anyone else at the mo. Ok yes it is quiet but turn up my amp and I have no problems yeah a bit of a hiss heard worse, while the video is pretty good a lot better than say XXX scr or eso's signs ( I picked them because they're both examples of how not to capture/encode a scr. Overall I think this is worth a 7/5/6 bearing in mind that I give it a 5 in comparison to other scr's not cam's if it was comparible to a TS or a cam of course it would 8.

The sound is horrible. This can be easily fixed. I really wonder why VideoCD doesnt just fix it instead of letting it go out like that. Unless they dont do quality control.
Its funny, cos this type of hissing doesnt normally occur in SCREENER tapes. I am not saying that VideoCD is lying, but this kind of hissing problems normally occur when the audio feed isnt connected properly or something. Like in telesyncs. Correct me if I am wrong.
I am also curious as to why studios would allow such flawed SCREENER tapes to be distributed. Again, i would guess that this isn't exactly a SCREENER tape, but rather a workprint or something like that which I mentioned in another thread.

You also get hiss connecting an ear phone socket to a line in. Could just be a stupid mistake I reckon this is a scr not a workprint, normally shit vid good audio, not good vid shit audio.
I don't think a studio would release flawed screeners but I do think whoever captured this is to blame. Of course they could of used a knackered video player, bad leads no end of things. No serial which maybe why I'm wrong.
