     @MelC

     Could you explain why transcoding from a DVD5 to xvid file, which was previously transcoded from a DVD9 (not the whole DVD just the movie; i.e. no special features, no menus etc), is so bad? whether the source is a DVD5 or DVD9 the video is going to have to be compressed down to 1.36 GB. so wat does it matter if the DVD5 source has already been slightly transcoded?

     i am not trying to be annoying but i really don’t get why this is an issue. As I previously stated, it’s not like the DVD5 and DVD9 sources are being compressed the same, as the slightly better quality of the DVD9 source is going to have to be COMPRESSED MORE THAN THE DVD5 source, thus resulting in both xvid files ultimately having the same quality.

     Quality of this release is truly excellent by the way so recommend this over the diamond one, especially for the ac3 sound. Sound is very important in a film like this because most of the time u are listening to stuff going on more than seeing it.

     xcellent film also. I am glad it is pissing off the stereotypical dumb Americans who need the glorified Hollywood ending where the good guys wins, i.e. the American Army.

     DVD-Video MPEG-2s already have pretty crappy quality to begin with. When you encode a dvd-rip (i.e. “translate” that MPEG-2 with Xvid/Divx/etc), you’re not decreasing the visual quality from, let’s say, 100% to 50%, even though the bitrate does go down. Well-made dvd-rip is a lot like a file archive - when your player reads it, it decompress it on-the-fly and recreates the visual quality of the original DVD. If you, let’s say, compress a 1-hour 4.3gb MPEG-2 into a ~1.5gb Xvid, there will probably not be any quality loss at all. When you go from DVD9 to DVD5, however, you’re not compressing or optimizing the picture. You’re directly cutting on its quality, which will be reflected in the compressed dvd-rip.

     If your not going to burn this movie and watch it on a divx dvd player get the diamond.
     If you are and have no surround sound speakers set up get the diamond.
     If you have a large screen tv (40+) and surround sound get this rls.
     The diamond is perfect, “a diamond lasts forever”.

     Just watched Cloverfield.DVDR-Replica

     Quality is awesome, since the movie action is during nightime, you don’t wanna get the slightest blocking effect from xvid encoding
     And movie is absolutely worth a complete DVD, come on…

     Don’t expect too much from alternative endings or deleted scenes though :/

     ps: Lizzy Caplan is so cute, she stills the entire movie! (from me, at least lol)

     @175 Ultimate Crybaby

     There’s a simple concept which has been lost over the years. You don’t take credit off of other people’s work. This applies to scene and non-scene alike. DEVISE is a lame group who steals sources to gain credit for itself it’s as simple as that. That Axxo p2p idiot is no different.

     Regarding the more technical aspects. If a DVDR was used and had untouched video then obviously there is nothing different between video on the scene DVDR and an actual retail DVD. If video was re-encoded with CCE then depending on the number of passes there will be some negligible loss for a DVDR release.

     Re-encoding to a lower resolution for DVDR to xvid encodes will normally not show many artifacts if sufficient bitrate was used. xvid to xvid re-encodes however, will normally not improve picture quality much even if filters are used. In fact, it can actually worsen PQ to re-encode from xvid to xvid.

     An 85 minute film does not need two cds even if it is an action film. It is sufficiently underneath 110 minutes. Being an action film with lots of movement, if this film was closer to 110 minutes then there would be justification to push for a 2cd release with AC3 audio. That isn’t the case, hence no need for 2cd. There’s your answer and it’s all you’re going to get.

     can’t believe how much people actually think this is good movie. they are easily impressed by stupid camera tricks, and lame acting and dialogue. it’s extremely annoying how the movies is trying to be real, yet at the same time everything in the dialogue is cliche and sound phony. the shaky camera work does nothing for me except make me want to throw up. the guy holding the camera never stops shouting and has IQ of a lizard. someone should torture the guy who created this character. he is irritating to the 1000000000000th degree. and so is this worthless piece of tripe of a movie. i just wanted some cheap cg monster thrills, but all i got out of it was a case of extreme vertigo.

     Hehe, too bad for you George

     the 7.8 ratings on imdb (60,000 votes) reassure me in the fact that most people can still appreciate creativity.

     I guess some people just cannot deal with anything else than the super hero who says the funny joke after killing his 54th alien, and always know what to do, what to say, with the Hollywood happy ending.

     For the motion sickness thing, it did not bother me at all, but i can understand that some people might not appreciate it, or even get sick lol, too bad for them ^_^

     ultimate warrior - when you go from DVD9 to DVD5 you lose quality, then when you go from DVD5 to xvid you lose even more quality. for most people that’s an unacceptable loss for no reason (as you can go straight from dvd9 to xvid and miss out a step).

     It’s the same as ripping a cd to 320kbit mp3, then transcoding that mp3 to a 96kbit WMA. If 96kbit wma is your ultimate aim then encode straight to that, the resulting quality will be that much higher.

     Two lossy steps are never good.

     user x: I can’t stand hollywood “action hero” movies and I still hated cloverfield. It was like a hollywood movie trying to be an indie film, but failing badly. You say people who don’t like it can only appreciate hollywood movies but I think it’s the opposite - the people who like it are your typical big-budget (little talent/quality) movie fans.

     Many people prefer 1,4G/DVD-R releases over 700Mb cause DD5.1 sound. Many action movies dont have the same feeling wiht crappy stereo sound. Ie. if you have seen lets say star wars with 5.1 sound you dont want to watch it with stereo never again.

     On the first page someone said the hd release won’t be out till mid summer or something. I was just wondering why that is. Why did for example, 5 720p releases of I am Legend come out before the original movie release date but this won’t be out for a few months? Thanks in advance.

     April 7th, 2008 | 03:39

     a shame that some can’t appreciate this movie.. the filming technique is meant to shift the focus away from just being a spectator to actually being a part of the action.

     It’s simply taking the implausible to the hypothetical… what would you do if you found yourself in this situation?

     Much better than watching the typical cliched genre of ‘find monster, send in military, kill monster, live happily ever after’.

     fluffy you mean to tell me this movie is not cliche ? the boy friend tries to find the girl he loves inspite of the odds of survival because he loves her so much. course his friends just couldn’t let him go alone because they’re such good friends so the “group” is formed. which eventually dies off one by one until the 2 main character is left, which no doubt the lame director will continue their stupid ass “love conquerors all” adventure in the sequel. this is not your regular hollywood blockbuster ?

     don’t get me wrong, i like hollywood blockbuster movies. i don’t expect them to have much depth. in fact it’s part of their charm. not too much thinking involved.

     HUD:” dude jason there’s something weird between beth and rob”

     HUD:”oh my god oh my god oh my god….”

     HUD:”whoa did you guys see that “?

     HUD constantly talk to everyone else through his camera.

     GIVE ME A F*** break ?! creative ?????

     the “find monster kill monster” movie you refer to fluffy, IS in fact what cloverfield is. i understand what it’s trying to do, it just doesn’t do it well. badly in fact. i would’ve enjoyed it alot more if it’s a well made hollywood blockbuster, rather than a bad indie wannabe.

     George….hey I never said the storyline was innovative

     Blair Witch, using the same filming technique, turned wandering aimlessy around the woods into something most people crapped their pants over. I guess the point being that the cinemagoer has to have the imagination and freedom to place themselves behind or near the camera to truly get the results intended by the director.

     In any case, its the same as games. Some people prefer first person shooters over third person games because they’re a more immersive experience. Entirely up to individual preference.

     As for the monster itself.. this isn’t what Cloverfield is singly about. The prducers have tried to take the emphasis off the threat (hence no huge wideangle shots of manhatten being destroyed) and place it on a small groups immediate struggle for survival. Which again is far more involved than watching a city being oblitterated by a piece of CGI (remember transformers? UGH!)

     I see where your coming from, but still think it was brilliant stuff (imo)

243. george
     April 8th, 2008 | 09:25

     fluffy, i guess what makes it so infuriating for me ( aside from the HUD character ) is that I actually like the concept of the hand-held camera to drop the viewer inside the movie alongside its characters. I think it’s a great idea. It has potential for greatness. But it pisses me off because it doesn’t deliver. Pisses me off even more when people think it succeeded. I’m just mad because other people don’t recognize its failure.

     character’s dialogue and actions don’t feel true. or rather, they’re movie cliches. wouldn’t it be great if Rob reacted like most of us would have in real life and decides it’s too risky and protects himself rather be the typical romantic hero. a whole new world of possiblities opens up if the director’s not afraid to show real human nature.

     also i think it’s director’s responsiblity to imagine for me. the audience shouldn’t be expected to have the task of having to imagine something. if a movie is done right, then the audience automatically relates to it.

     i know, i should get a life. but yeah, your have some valid points. and i’m less mad after reading your post. so thanks.

     After 20 mins or so was a very good movie! Yeah the people were nimrods but they are in real life too.

     Reminded me of an early episode of Neon Genisis Evangelion. Monster unknown, destroys buildings etc cool.
