Starsky and Hutch DVDRip x264 AC3-JAVLiU
A very nice comedy came online by a group that just began releasing x264 coded films. I was surprised by the quality of the screenshots and I think that this might be the future of DVDRiP’s. I’m totally unknown with all this codec thing, but I can tell that the quality difference is visible. This film has a very known cast, starring Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Snoop Dogg, Vince Vaughn, Amy Smart and Carmen Electra. I remember seeing this film by the time it was out on DVD and it introduced me to the old classic series with the same name. This is a really fine release in 2CD’s with AC3 sound. Enjoy!
Set in the 1970s in a metropolis called “Bay City,” this is the tale of two police detective partners, Ken “Hutch” Hutchinson (Wilson), and Dave Starsky (Stiller), who always seem to get the toughest cases from their boss, Captain Dobey, rely on omniscient street informer Huggy Bear (Dogg) and race to the scene of the crimes in their souped-up 1974 Ford Torino hot rod, telling the story of their first big case (as a prequel to the TV show), which involved a former college campus drug dealer (Vaughn) who went on to become a white collar criminal (Electra plays Hutch’s girlfriend).

H264 is a good way to compress video, but if you have a slow computer it won’t be the easiest thing to watch. This is why xvid is still the norm as its much more compatible and not as much of a resource hog as H264. Give it some time though and it - like xvid did over divx - may well become a new standard.
Bounce - what would you consider to be a slow computer? Ive got a Pentium 4 CPU, 2.6 Ghz with 1 gig of RAM.
I guess you’re set.
I have 2 comps: my desktop PC is an old AMD Athlon XP 1.5Ghz w/640MB RAM and my laptop is an AMD Turion 64 2.4Ghz w/ 2gig RAM. My laptop plays a 264 smooth as silk, whereas my PC will play the same file like it has epilepsy.
I can’t speak for everybody because other people may experience different things, but in my experience a faster computer will play a 264 better and more efficiently than a slow one
I highly recommend using CoreAVC to play H.264 Vids, it decodes about 30% better then other x.264 decoders

how ab6out the xbox..can XBMC play this videos?
x264 sucks it doesnt play on divx dvd players like every other dvdrip put out
Movie sucks, so yeah.
Codecs and quality is overrated. ;P I don’t have a particular need to get super-quality. Decent dvdrip is just fine.
I really like the 264 codec for High-def content … where as a standard dvd is a pretty low resolution anyway, no real need to use the codec at that res.
the only reason x264 is not being used for every scene release is exactly the reason pointed out earlier. pretty much all standalone dvd players will not play x264. it’s a great codec though and it’ll be part of the scene rules eventually.

Dude, this is a 101 minute movie on 2 CD format (1,4 Gb). Of course it looks good, even if you would use DivX 3.11 or old shit like that! Just compare a Diamond release with the crappy aXXo re-encoding (for example ‘Cars’), and you’ll see the difference.
It’s a different story when it comes to movies that are over 2 hours, then x264 might make an actuall difference.
DO IT!!
So sad to see this movie totally make the tv series look better.
btw, it play nicely on XBMC, crispy and clear, no problem.
I think x264, if ppl can use it handful, can be more better than xvid 3.11 on lower size too, than 2 hours.
custom matrixes, nice settings can be enough.
Other question is that encoding time is 2 times more or 3 times.
Anyway playback is not a problem mowadays.
