Live Free Or Die Hard 720p BluRay x264-REFiNED
Guys from REFiNED just made my day by releasing Live Free or Die Hard 720p! To my surprise this has only been available in a great DVDRip from SAPHiRE, but now we get to enjoy the kick ass action and crazy CGI in HD. Great quality on this one as usual for all HD releases and the size isnt too bad either, the 1080p version will kill your bandwith though 
When someone hacks into the computers at the FBI’s Cyber Crime Division; the Director decides to round up all the hackers who could have done this. When he’s told that because it’s the 4th of July most of their agents are not around so they might have trouble getting people to get the hackers. So he instructs them to get local PD’S to take care of it. And one of the cops they ask is John McClane who is tasked with bringing a hacker named Farrell to the FBI. But as soon as he gets there someone starts shooting at them. McClane manages to get them out but they’re still being pursued. And it’s just when McClane arrives in Washington that the whole system breaks down and chaos ensues.

ooh, thanks
may sound silly but can someone burn this on a dual layer and play back on a blue ray dvd?
is this the rated or unrated?
@3 no
this has been out for a month
@ 4
judging by the runtime from REFiNED’s nfo which is 128min and 44sec and the runtime from SAPHiRE’s nfo which is 128min and 33sec I would say that this is unrated
@ 6
no it hasnt… Pred 2008-03-20 00:54:56 GMT
As far as I know there is no unrated HD version.
BD+ was just beaten and this is the very first BD+ encode I know of. Thanx
@3,
It is “Blu-Ray”, not “Blue Ray”, idiot.
@6,
It has been out in stores for a month, it has just been ripped thanks to the newest version of AnyDVD.
This is most likely one of the first re-encodes of a BD+ protected BluRay. The earlier releases were HDMI captures, while this is a true BR source rip. Slysoft just cracked BD+ earlier today.
@ 8
yes it has dude, theres been a 720p & 1080p version out a long time ago, This is not even true 720p anyway…….
@ 11
yea but the release was not out for months… also notice my saying in the post that im surprised it was never released in HD before… if you want to complain about slow releases take it up with the group itself not me
At last BD+ has been cracked! But I’ve had this since December and there is going to be little to no difference in picture quality from HDMI to an actual disc rip and my version also has DTS, so I wont bother downloading. But great news about Slysoft.
Yeah anyone notice the lack of 720 vertical resolution? this is about as 720p as my foot.
@ 15
than your foot is pretty dam crystal clear… res is 1280×528 which is 720p
@John
Yes it is true 720p, it is just filmed in the Letterbox format so the picture is only 1280×528.
I hate the black bars so I use Media Centre to stretch the picture to 768, if you use a widescreen TV, you can hardly tell.
so, any rapidsh!7 love?
ok when i think 720p i think of a horizontal resoluton of 1280px…..but by definition 720p shoud have a vertical resoluton of 720p….i dont get it?
* FULL EPISODE STREAMING!

sorry for off-topic
Marceli I downloaded a 720p bluray rip of this on February 12th, maybe it was a p2p release…and if it took “the scene” a month to release it….
@ 19
DVDs and BluRay Discs have a forced aspect ratio when played from the DVD, but when encoded the true aspect ratio is used, although the forced aspect ratio can and sometimes is kept. so a 720p movie has a 1280×720 resolution (1.78:1 AR) but is encoded at 1280×529 (2.42:1 AR). The latter would therefore be the true aspect ratio.
@ 22
thats the HDMI you’re thinking off…
If HDMI is inferior in quality then what you see on your TV from a blu-ray player via HDMI would also be inferior
@arf
It is 720p, including the black bars the resolution is 1280×720, but there is no picture there so they say it is 1280×528. The reason it is 528 is because it has been filmed in letterbox instead of widescreen, this is the directors choice. It doesn’t make it a worse picture than 1280×720, you just get a thinner picture but more of a view of what is happening on the left and right.
I don’t know if this clears things up, if not perhaps there is someone who can explain it better
@23 & 26 thanks…yeh it clears things up nicely.
What’s with all these HD movies at 6-7GB in size? Why not just under 4.7GB or 8.5GB?!
@ 25
no ones saying its inferior…. all im saying is that this release was just released today and you said it was out for months
@28 maybe at just under 4.7gb the quality will suffer….and making it 8.5gb may be a waste of bandwidth….i’m assuming they just encode these as losslessly in as small a file as possible
Well it is a long movie so to get a high bitrate for video and audio it has to have a larger file, but less people would download a 8.5GB version even on Rapidshare due to the download limit and the file doesn’t need to be 8.5GB to get picture and sound that is equal to the actual Blu-Ray disc.
@Marceli
I think I misspoke, I didn’t mean this specific release, but this movie in 720p w/ DTS audio
I’m trying to remember from where i downloaded this movie in 720p, i think it was about 2 months ago…
oh i found it but there is no nfo file (maybe i deleted it)
the file name is “die hard 4 X264 720p .mkv”
perfect copy with 6ch sound

yes…it’s all very interesting(boring)……just want some love
Easter egg
Kate Beckinsale (the director’s wife) around 00:02:19… only 3-4 still frames.
I want Rapidshare of this.
I close to never see the same movie more than ones, but this movie was worth it. Super quality entertainment in my eyes, don’t miss it.
is this a full dvd with menus and extras and everything, i noticed that it is 6.44G, seems like it would be, but i wasnt for sure how many gigs fulldvd bluerays were.

Thanks for the post.
I got a question…
This is in Blue Ray format, but I have a HD DVD player. Is it possible to play burn this to a Dbl Layer DVD or a standard DVD and play it in HD on my HD DVD player? I mean could I convert it to a format that is playable in hd dvd players?
Adding from post above @48
Basically, I would like to take the blue ray .mkv movies and convert them to hd dvd format, but maintain the 720p resolution and play them back on my hd dvd player. possible?
@ RGF
thnx for links. Maybe you or someonelse can help?
I have had that rls for some time now but I don’t know how to play it….. it’s just under 40gb with BDMV and BDSVM folders which have various files inside. I gather its a Bluray disc but I dont have BD writer to write the files too disc or any idea how to paly it on pc.
Any suggestions and solutions will be much appreciatred
Why is there also an ESiR release available?
Thought there is just the nuked REFiNED and the SiNNERS one??
One great site i knew is now down and i cant find rs links anywhere. Do you have any sites in mind?
have a look at rslinks.org
it might take a while, but they are quite reliable concerning links for such releases
@53:
Much appreciated man. The thing is that rslinks has new HD posts every now and then. Anyway, thanx.

If you can play a downloaded file on your DVD player DEPENDS ON YOUR PLAYER, NOT on the rip SOURCE. You DO NOT NEED A HD PLAYER TO PLAY THESE RIPS. FULL STOP.
Most of the DVD players out there can handle all the common containers like mpeg, avi, e.g. as well as the common codecs (XviD, DivX, e.g.).
So, if you download a DVD Rip of a movie as an avi, you will be able to burn it onto a DVD and your player will play it. If you download the same movie in another format, such as mkv (Matroska), you will still be able to burn it onto a DVD as long as it fits there, but YOUR PLAYER WILL NOT PLAY IT BACK, since most of the currently available players DO NOT SUPPORT .mkv YET! You’ll have to convert the downloaded file to a format your DVD/HD DVD/BD player can read (e.g. avi).
Why .mkv then? The container is more effective, allows better compression with less visible drawbacks, thus the picture quality is an overall improvement to avi.
So what is the bottom line?
LOOK AT THE FILE EXTENSION, NOT AT THE SOURCE: As long as you have the right codecs installed, your computer will play back anything you’ve downloaded. The combined community codec pack (CCCP) for instance will allow you to watch anything as long as your PC is fast enough. I have an Athlon XP 2500+ with 1 Gig RAM. It plays 720p rips well enough, but jerks with 1080p rips.
LOOK AT THE FILE EXTENSION, NOT AT THE SOURCE: If your DVD player can handle .mkv format, you will be fine. Most of the currently available players (if not all) can not.
And last but not least, for all those who are incapable of reading or usually don’t like to read more the three letters in a row, there is the last quintessence of what I wrote:
THE SOURCE OF A RIP DOES NOT MATTER! IF THE PLAYER CAN HANDLE THE FILE EXTENSION, YOU CAN PLAY IT.
P.S.: Spread the word.

But i guess that won’t stop all these morons asking more and more stupid questions instead of using Google and there brain (or at least what’s left of it) …
Out of sync. I used ConvertxtoDvd and made a home DVD to watch and about an hour and 30 mins in audio goes slightly out of sync and doesn’t recover. Anyone else notice that?
Yeah. Tried it again on Media Player Classic and VLC. Same thing. Out of sync.
