I was waiting for this to pop up here... Not to mention I was waiting for this movie for a while too!!
This is the unrated version. I'm assuming since it has 8 mins of footage. So were looking at some substance added. None of this "Dukes of Hazzard" 20 seconds of boob added crap. Never saw the theatrical, so I am not sure what is added. But the runtime is 8 mins longer (plus I am not sure there even is a "rated" version coming).
Video... 4.3 gigs dedicated to the 2.35 movie. I dunno. When I pause it on faster moving scenes, I see blocking in hair and looks bad. I also noticed in certain faster moving scenes a "rainbow effect" that I've never seen before. Slower moving parts of the movie are almost perfect though.
Video 8/10 - IT MAY be the source. The problems are not throughout the WHOLE movie, just certain parts. Maybe the new scenes added back are these? I dunno. 90% of the movie is fine, and I doubt the encoded just added random blocking and rainbows.
:: EDIT - OK... I think the issue is that the max bitrate was too low. The highest I've seen was 6200kbit/sec... During complex scenes (like the dancing 13 mins into the movie). Average bitrate there was like 4500. What I think is just the group didn't set their max bitrate to 9200kbit/sec... Some of those scene should have hit the max for sure... Weirder yet is that the credits bitrate is like 6400kbit/sec!! So that lowers my picky score to 6/10 ::
Overall, good release. Curious what "MULTI" means. Maybe there will be a R1 coming around the corner by Replica or XPDVD.
:: EDIT - Hope there is an internal or something... ::
