NUKED: pal...

An odd reason, but be fair, its NOT labeled as such..basically nothing wrong with it other than some sites dont allow pal

Yeah, and menus are the only reason DVD's are better than SVCD's.
The higher resolution, higher bitrate, and 5.1 sound dont make a difference.

As for the Nuke for being PAL, first Ive heard it, crazy if it is, as most of the time PAL is better quality.

This is nice for a screener, could be easily passed a DVD-Rip, sound is great too.

9/9/?

First of all ... PAL/NTSC has nothing to do with quality ... just FPS. So whoever said that PAL was better quality than NTSC releases, needs to check their eyes again.

Second of all ... no, usually DVDSCR do NOT have menus, no need for them really, as there are no extras on the screener discs. Meant to play on repeat all day at blockbuster (or other respective rental joints).

Decent Quality ... will wait for the retail DVDR so I can file this one away on my shelves. Good movie, worth watching once every 3 to 4 years. Nice Release TEG-DVD.

PAL

Since PAL has more lines of resolution than NTSC, yeah, the quality is better.

How you can have around 200 posts to this forum and not know PAL has a higher resolution (and therefore better picture) than NTSC is beyond me...

Most JAP and USA sites NUKE PAL, just because it's PAL. PAL isn't as universal (can play on all players) as NTSC.

It more than just FPS, PAL has a higher resolution than NTSC so with a good bitrate, it wll look slightly sharper, also NTSC was designed for Black and White, unlike PAL, so it also has better color.
TBH most people cant tell the difference, but it is there.
Do Region1 DVD players still stuggle with PAL, i though Universal players were becoming more of the norm now.

its a tradeoff ntsc has slightly higher fraps pal has slightly higher resolution.. i dont think either is really better than the other. However i live in the US and my pioneer dvd player does not play pal. i think the nuke is for not putting it in the rls name. At any rate this retails in like a month or 2 anywyas.. late dvdscr. im jsut ognna wait a few weeks for a R1 retail dvdr

video is 10
audio gets 6 because of that omni-present annoying metallic "tinnyness".

NTSC does indeed have a slightly higher framerate. But how does it get that higher framerate when the movie was originally 24 frames per second?
It artificially makes the extra 6 frames from the exisiting 24 *real* frames, using a combination of fields, in a telecine process.
It's a rather nasty kludge.
PAL's kludge is to speed the movie up by 4% to go from 24 frames to 25 frames per second. After pitch correction on the audio you can't tell the difference though.

Thanks. I thought I was the only one who ended up with bad sound. Funny how the video looks so good but the sound is so scratchy.

All those things together make it worth the download, otherwise it's too much time and bandwith.

verry nice

Dolby Digital 5.1 448Kbps
no trailers at the start
zipped from start to finish at 32x and didnt see any B&W or water marks.
no Tickers (property of etc etc)

so yes, as was said above it could pass as retail.
with no menus or extras ofcorse

more dvd screeners like this plz


PS i only ever noticed the FPS pal v ntsc thing back when playing Tekken on the PS1.
ntsc was faster naturly.

but as for movies i dont notice it now.
with progressive scan and all the knobs n wistles now days it dont make a diffrence to me.

Convicted Sex Offender

9 / 5 / ?

absolutely BEAUTIFUL picture quality

audio doesn't actually seem to be in 5.1 channels - I did a quick scan through the movie (that's right, there's NO CHAPTER STOPS) and was getting nothing out of left/right/surrounds. and yes, there's a high pitched whine in the background throughout the whole film (which can be EQ'd out - with some compromise to the dialogue quality).

good enough to watch, but far from perfect audio takes this off the "must get" list.
