quote:Originally posted by pHo the difference between compression and encoding is:
compression software works the same way as trying to get The 404, who is 350lbs, through a normal door. its method is to basically keep kicking The 404 until he gets thru the door. This works quickly, but leaves a nasty mess.
encoding software is the equivalent of The 404 going on a diet and walking thru the door. takes longer and sometimes more skill, but ultimately worth it.
video- 9 awesome job. bright and clear can finally see everything
audio- 9 loud and clear
movie- 8 I really like Dakota Fanning, Although I have to wonder if she is going to be scarred from all the scary movies she is in as a child
overall excellent release

quote:Originally posted by FrightfoO It doesn't strike me as a good rip. The colours look washed out. Initial impression was that it looked like a PDVD rip. Hhmm.
to be honest i thought the same... cant quite understand why everyone thinks the quality is so brilliant? perhaps done should have dropped the resolution a bit? the colours look a little dull, the picture looks a bit messy... it looks more like a dvdscr than anything... half-way expect a retail proper to come out next month.
yeah... and the silly thing is, if people are just rating from seeing the jpg samples, the jpgs really show off how bad the video in the film looks - i cancelled my dl, ill wait for the retail dvd to come out, rent it, and do it myself, i know i can do a better job than done did (hows that for bad engrish...) in this case

Finally got around to watching most of this on standard def TV. Looks pretty good.. up to a typical DVD rip's quality. Colours are not that washed out, and are actually rich and picture is sharp enough. Maybe H263 quant. type would've been better to use for this particular encoding.
Video - Overall is very nice but has a few flaws........the colours are indeed washed out and there is a definate degree of pixellation in some of the fast moving scenes. But this is still a good attempt just not the best rip.
Audio - Fine no problems at all, all in sync.
Movie - Really got into this one, acting was top notch (maybe a little too emotional, yes im looking at you Dakota). Very nice special effects and the aliens themselves were done well...............ending is perhaps a little weak and ending explanation seemed tagged on. Worth seeing for the effects above anything else.
