[notes]
HafVCD's SVCD release was nuked for
being a re-encode of our XviD.
We here at SONiC would like to clear
this rumor. NO they did not use our
XviD to encode their SVCD, they used
the DVD just like we did! However they
still deserve the *NUKE*. Here's why..
* CCE 2-PASS: They used a 2-pass method
with CCE to encode their video. The
SVCD rules clearly state CCE requires
a 4-pass minimum. They used a 2-pass
just to save time and quickly get a
release out, quality took a back-seat.
Our release has a CCE 6-pass! w00t!
* OVERSIZED MAX VIDEO BITRATE: The SVCD
rules specify the max bitrate as 2450
HafVCD used a 2530 minimum bitrate &
a minimum bitrate of 300. This might
cause problems with some DVD Players.
* SIMPLE RESIZE SUCKS: We here at SONiC
use the best quality resize for SVCD.
HafVCD used a 'Simple Resize'. Why?
Well once again they were concerned
about encoding time, not quality.
'Simple Resize' encodes much faster.
But as you all saw, it gives crappy
results!
* NO 3:2 PULLDOWN USED: They also seem
to have skipped a 3:2 pulldown. This
must be used on NTSC material that
was originally 24fps to create the
standard 29.97fps for NTSC TV. HafVCD
did an IVTC, but no pulldown. Lamers.
They produced a quick'n crappy SVCD
just so they could be the 1st to PRE.
This litters the scene with shitty
releases. We suggest other groups who
are eager to PROPER stuff take a look
at any HafVCD releases they have.
If this is the way they still encode
after 2 whole years in the scene, you
can bet their previous releases are
just as fucked! (Check the EXTRA dir
on the SVCD disc after it's burned).
We here at SONiC would like to get
something straight. WE ARE NOT A PRE
GROUP! If we happen to release before
others, it's just by chance. We will
NEVER cut corners just to rush, or beat
another Group. We are all about the
Quality, and we don't like pressure.
You can be sure that our stuff looks
and plays great. Not blocky etc like
HafVCD's releases. (So bad looking
they are accused of re-encoding!)
Happy 2nd Birthday HafVCD! But next
time plan a Pinata party with cake,
ice cream, pin the tail on the donkey
and perhaps a clown to endlessly
entertain you with balloon origami.
Also it's lame harassing us about our
SVCD date for this movie and your pre.
Now you chumps know why our releases
Take longer! (but look so much better)
Just to rub it in further, we have
included a .zip file in the PROOF dir
that has HafVCD's and our SVCD stats.
This is a Promotional DVD SCREENER.
It contains the occasional scrolling
message, and it will briefly turn
black & white during certain scenes.
Enjoy!
P.S. the sample has sync issues but
the SVCD will play fine. Don't Nuke!
