Not a bad release at all. Only a few nit picks I've got, but that just me
The bitrate can't be 4248 video + 448 dd5.1 + 192 dc 2.0 = 4888 overall bitrate = 4,472,520 KB... Doesn't leave anything for the 266meg menu and the 187meg behind the scenes extra. So I dunno where they got that number from. Video bit rate is actually 3863kbit/sec (mathematically, not including the authoring space) to be able to fit the extras and menu as they did.
:: EDIT - Ignore the above I used the 122 mins from the NFO to calculate the bitrate... Man, that's what happens when you don't post often enough I guess ... Mathematically, the bitrate is 4252kbit/sec, which is right on cue ::
Video is not bad... A little grainy (not the fault of Anipunk) at times, and turns sometimes blurry. Movie is mostly dark, so flaws are quite visible. Could have used a bit more bits IMO, but the 187 megs in the extras I doubt would have done all that much overall (like 5% improvement on video). And of course, if this release could be untouched, I am sure XPDVD will do it And I myself welcome that anyday
Video 8/10 - Probably the source is not that good. This is an indie film after all, they can't afford the highest grade film Doubt the retail looks much better though.
DVD-R 9/10 - Good job. I wish they mentioned which region they got it from (at least I missed it then). But since there is DC, makes me think R1. I'll examine the menu VOB for chinese
:: EDIT - hehe, R1 it is (shown below)... Time for some glasses ::
Overall, good movie and worth a peek!
