*** STAY AWAY FROM THIS RELEASE ***

The encoding is SO bad, that I can't distinguish whether it's DVD Shrink or DVD X-Copy or what they used... The menu looks awful also. Almost looks like they took the XViD and went to DVD (which I know isn't the case, but it's that bad).

But they DID not say it was untouched, just the "extras" which there are none of.

This movie should just stay as a DVD-9... For those that don't have the dual layer burners, get one... They're SO cheap. Discs are not bad either now when they're on sale. Especially considering you have a 1:1 copy. Or just buy the movie... I know, crazy talk here...

But even without the menu and everything stripped, you can't even obtain a 3000kbit/sec average. Just to prove it, (3000+448)*186*60/8 = 4809960KB, where the max before authoring is 4485000KB (roughly, depending on the length of movie, but THAT is the +/- 10meg).

So, there is NO real point of a DVD-5 of this movie IMO. Maybe someone will do a 2-disc switcher... IF that is the case, I hope they include a MDS and instructions on making it back into one DVD-9 (for the others )...

This release gets a giant 1/10... The 1 is for magically winning the race...

You are right, which is even more disturbing. I cancelled my transfer PDQ after seeing the quality. I guess the extras were the 72megs worth in VOB2 (more of NYC) was and 9megs in VOB3 (VW commercial)... Just guessing though.

But 2.93mbit/sec is also impossible. Can't trust PowerDVD on that one. I've had PowerDVD once tell me video was 5.1mbit, when I did the encode myself at 4700kbit... Actual calculation for this release would be 2.62mbit/sec... But I am NOT trying to fight. Either way it doesn't matter as this release is circling the drain on it's way to nukeville. Curious to see what happens, especially since the 3000 is impossible. Let's see what CCE can do Come on Replica

No matter what though, this release will look much shittier than the DVD-9.

Thanks for the release bocca, renting it and ripping it to DVD5 w/DVDshrink is all I would have done anyways, saves me the trouble.. as the film itself wasn't good enough to buy, they aleady got me for $75 at the theater.. it doesn't deserve any more.
As far as the bitrate goes, sometimes I convert 2 or 3 movies and put 'em on 1 disc and i'm satisfied with playback.. and I know i'm not the only one out there who does it, so a low bitrate is fine with some of us.

I believe there should be a few releases of movies this long, a DVD5, a DVD9, and maybe 2DVD5's.
Not everyone is completely anal about quality, i know i am, but 80% of people i know, can tell the difference between a bitrate of 2000 and 8000.
Also most people dont want to pay for DL discs or change discs half way through, also 4gb is bad enough for most, never mind 7-8Gb, though i feel a good 3CD XviD will look better than a 4gb mpeg.

Rating this, it looks fine considering, but if you have high standards then i would avoid and buy it if DVD9's arent ur thing.

7/9/?

Oh yeah, this is a one-clicker transcode. Using Ahead Nero.

Format Type UDF 1.02
Volume Name KING_KONG

DOITFAST gives me a 2672k avg on this transcode.

Ya this is crap-ola

There is, but not any Scene rips, they would have to be custom rips, ive done the first LOTR Extended movie with AC3 and DTS as a DVD5.

A DVD5 XviD would possibly be overkill for this though as the bitrate would be nearly 3000, you'd be best waiting for a 3CD AC3 Internal rip.

I ended up binning this after 15mins of trying to watch it, there is a horrible pulsating effect on it, that makes it look like the backround is alive, obviously a Transcoder problem.
A Proper with a customised avisynth script and proper use of CCE is definetly needed, this is a long movie, but ive got 5-6hours onto a DVD5 with better quality than this.
