SVCD &CENTROPY

[videoman882]

SVCD QUALITY IS BETTER THAN THE VCD QUALITY BUT I HAVE DOWNLOADED SVCD MOVIES NOW PLAYING IN THEATERES AND THEY ARE NO MORE THAN A VERY GOOD VCD ITS NOT NEAR DVD . I GOT SPOILED BECAUSE THE FIRST SVCD MOVIE I DOWNLOADED WAS MONSTERBALL AND IT WAS SCVD BUT IT LOOKED CLOSER TO A DVD SO I EXPECTED ALL SVCDS TO LOOK THE SAME NOT THE CASE. CENTROPY YOU CAN GET FROM KAZAA IF YOU SEARCH AROUND THEY ARE AS CLOSE TO SVCD AS YOU WILL GET. IVE GIVEN UP ON KAZAA OR ANY PROGRAMS LIKE THAT FOR MOVIES ID RATHER GET THE SERVERS EMAILS ITS ALOT MORE MANUAL WORK BUT AT LEAST YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING

first of all, dont use all caps!

secondly, the quality of svcds differ, depending on the bitrate! (higher bitrate, higher quality)

finally, movies captured from a movie theater screen will look sh*tty no matter what bitrate is used. you probably got a DVD rip of monsterball.

Movies that are released while still in theaters are usually telesync, that is there filmed with a higher end expensive camera. Telesync releases are not high in quality at all, the quality is less than a VHS tape. The reason why many groups choose svcd is so that they get can keep the quality as high as possible. They make standard compliant (s)vcd so logiclaly svcd would look better than a vcd release.
