Can you post a more complete information of the file, including the sound? A screenshot would be convenient.

By the way, is the movie really that short at only an hour and a few minutes?

The two sets of information don't quite agree with each others, don't you think? However, let's suppose the second set (the more recent one) is true, you have got yourself a fake movie, judging from the slideshow-like frame rate of 3, no video compression and the absence of any audio stream.

I would just like to add that even if the file were real, it would have been bad quality, considering the rips of LOTR:TTT are only cams.

This isn't necessarily true.

While most rips are cams, you will sometimes find a rip that is the actual movie - the academy receives copies of the movie for screening before the awards, and sometimes (most of the time) these get leaked.

This happened with the first LOTR movie.

Yes indeed, but when IT IS a good quality screener (mostly dvd-screeners) they have "screener" somewhere in the name, and they most certainly do not have a (tmW) prefix.

My friend has the dvd version of this movie on cd, and when he brought it to my house, it would not right on my 16x9 Widescreen HDTV, but then on a full screen tv it worked fine. I am taking that it was not encoded to work right on my type of tv. IS there a way I can take these 4 discs, and spend the time so I can make it work on a Widescreen TV. I really want to take out the time to do this please help me.

[UncasMS]

we are not talking about WAREZ here, are we?

if so: http://forum.digital-digest.com/announcement.php?s=&forumid=21

[DPOverlord]

Well I have other SVCD cds (I own the dvd also). in bin .cue and have this same problem. any ideas? not warez at all

[acied]

when the filesize = 119 MB
dont expect to have a descent movie
really.....

good quality divx = 1.5 hour in 700 MB
good quality mpg = 1.0 hour in 800 Mb (700 Mb cd)

otherwise dont bother getting it

Most likely it is only part 1 or part 2.

How is it NOT warez? I know which copy of TTT you're talking about, and the real dvd release is coming out after august. Unless you're talking about the fellowship of the ring dvd, although this thread is about the two towers.

@redjack "Most likely it is only part 1 or part 2."

It is indeed part 1of3, thus the name **(tmW)Lord.Of.The.Rings.--.The.Two.Towers.(CD1of3).avi**

[UncasMS]

How is it NOT warez?

c'mon guys - lets skip that part.

i guess you all know/understood, what i was driving at - pls stick to it!

[gd_nimrod]

I think you misunderstood me, that was a rhetorical question:cool:

[UncasMS]

i neither misunderstood you nor was this post of mine adressed to you.

all i'm saying is: stay away from warez :angelgrn: and be a little more creative when it comes to posting/discussing problems which deal with your *legal backups* ;)

[Batman]

Yes we're giving RedJack the benifit of the doubt....and assuming somehow he is legally entitled to the film :)

Plus you're inoccent until proven guilty :bglaugh2:

[DPOverlord]

ok lets look at it from this direction. I have the fellowship of the ring, but I also have the SVCD of fellowship of the ring.
On a fullscren TV fellowship of the ring SVCD looks like a widescreen SVCD with the two black bars. On an WideScreen 47" HDTV the SVCD comes halfway verticaly up and 1/4 horizontally across producing a very messed up image, its set for 16x9 but still looks like ****, while all my other SVCDS dont have this problem accept a few. I have the MPG of the file, and I am figuring it just the resolution it was encoded at.
My question using the MPG how can I make this video biggere, and fit a whole 47" Widescreen tv, I am trying to figure it out but am not exactly sure of the process. Any ideas?

[Kapa_13]

...i have the version on 4 cd
it is a dvd screener....the 4 files have extensions *.mpg......but i can't open them in bsplayer...and i nomi didn't help...which codec do i need!!! HELP!!

[Batman]

Kapa, you will most likely require an mpeg-2 codec or a software dvd player such as POWERDVD/WINDVD

[acied]

svcd codec (mpeg-2) for mpg or mpeg files that dont play
look 4
empegdec @ google

elecard mpeg decoder is a svcd codec

to check wich quality your movie has before doenloading look @ www.wrong_forum_for_this.com
