They can be mad at the nukers.. but they should be mad at themselves.

Fact is that their rip isn't tdxrules compliant.. i know those rules are outdated and dumb, but fact also is that the scene still uses those and thus this rip IS a nuke.

Counterproof :
a) aspect ratio :
it's wide accepted common scene-knowledge that cropping slightly into picture isnt a bad thing to get the AR error as close as possible to 0 - they didnt do this and people may say its a good thing, because cropping into picture is bad - scene always wanted 2.35 / 1.85 or at least within 5% range of that. Their release isnt.
b) undersized (should be 2 cd's) :
straight from the tdxrules ->
Movie Length:
- PAL (25 fps) = min runtime is 105 minutes/CD
- FILM (23.976 fps) = min runtime is 110 minutes/CD
- NTSC (29.97 fps) = min runtime is 92 minutes/CD
-> so 13 minutes is just too much to go for a 1 cd release

I'm not saying their release is bad - but they shouldnt blame the nukers for following rules.. they should blame theirselves, coz they oughta know how its done. They're an old enough group.

TDX doesn't have max runtime per cd rules, only minimum. And from what i saw the release looked pretty good on one cd. If quality is good on one cd it'd be dumb to add another cd just to appease the status quo.

First of all I'd like to say that this release is beautifully viewed on my tv. I feel there is no reason whatsoever to talk down about this release. Yes, they may not have followed the release rules exactly, but like a junior member had stated, they are outdated, and at certain times perhaps shouldn't be followed if the outcome decreases the quality of the movie. To all the people who have the nerve to put down a release Group for doing what they feel is best for everybody, then you can go to hell. Wait for the movie your damn self and spend the hours it takes to encode the movie without it being as professional as this group has obviously done. They have stated their reasons for what they have done, and if you aren't in agreement with breaking shitty rules to obtain the best picture possible, then I suggest you discontinue posting your thoughts, especially on nuking... In the words of DiAMOND, a big FUCK YOU to all of the sheep nukers...

I didn't know Johnny Chochraine was an encoder A good rant though, i'd download this one i guess because i feel your passion in this release. I wont get it though because im straight.

conclusion: bad source.

"our movie compresses good"

use a different quantization matrix and increase overall quality, lol


stick to the rules and shut the fuck up imo
(or update those damn rules..)

WS standards are 2.35 or 1.85:1, which is widescreen anamorphic or plain widescreen
