Couriers get 10 points per site they get #1 on, 9 points for 2nd place, 8 points for 3rd, etc, etc. Sites are rated by us. If you don't like the ratings, then.... heh... fuck off and die.. =--------------------------------------------------------------------------= x3 -CAT- -E- -FS- -VDR- -- x2 -MG- -EB- -APC- Missed alot of weektops this week guys, please help out and send them in to us. ---=NETMONKEY COURiER REPORT=--- =--------------------------------=--------------------------------------= trader group CAT E FS VDR MG EB APC pts --------------------------------------------------------------------- cedric AOD 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 160 godbless DEV 2 2 3 2 1 3 2 159 faith AOD 4 9 8 7 2 5 6 088 darkwolf AOD 3 5 6 5 7 0 0 083 darkangel AMN 0 3 0 3 5 6 5 076 jfking AMN 5 7 0 0 6 4 4 068 psedo RISC 6 6 10 6 0 2 0 066 drunkkid AMN 0 8 2 8 3 0 9 065 borg RISC 9 0 0 4 4 7 8 055 kruzin AMN 0 4 0 9 8 8 7 047 Ok well those are the only weektops I got, so I know it doesn't REALLY reflect the top 7 sites in the scene, but I did what I could, we all know Ced/God raped everyone. =--------------------------------=--------------------------------------= -----------[ Lester's Biased Courier Section ]----------- Ok..now 3am..stats are done..now to sum up the week. Pres are popular these days..this week is really like over so you don't even give a fuck right? Well you get to hear me ramble anyways. Ambition: AMB picked up alot of the pieces from the ASN splitup, grabbin a number of boxes and I dunno about couriers, but they still haven't really made a name for themselves on sites except for Plouf Overall: Improving..4/10 Amnesia: AMN has a pretty decent week, down from the week before, but still with some pre's and Drunkkid/Darkangel are back in action to fill in for the loss of Cardiel and a few other inactives. grabbing 4 of our fucked up ass top 10 slots, AMN has a good solid week. Overall: Steady, not enough pre's to make #1 though. 7/10 AOD: Predric is king of all pre'ing..and with Faith/Darkwolf in action..AOD has a good presence on sites, clearly taking the #1 spot this week and probably next week since it is Friday <g> Overall: Pre mania and 2 good couriers 9/10 Devotion: Only godbless comes up on the top 10 for Dev, which means since he was back the rest of the team rested, and now when he goes away we'll see prozax/od/and tc pre's come into action a really slow week for dev, but GB was #1 or #2 on every site as usual. Overall: 1 man show again 7/10 Risc: Borg and Psedo put up pretty good #'s, with Brain doing some pre'ing on the side for some extra meggage, Risc is probably at the best it's been in a long long time. Overall: kill the cheaters and you may have something.. 6/10 Vice: I forgot these guys last week. Oopsie..Vice did some pre'ing this week and mainly got rolling next week(or well this week now.) Nailz popped up on a few top 10's though, nice to see they are still keeping a solid team together. Overall: needs works...4/10 Well that's it.. =----------------------------------=--------------------------------------= -----------[ Articles ]----------- =----------------------------------=--------------------------------------= THE NWR GAME REPORT ------------------------------ 11/24/99 - 11/30/99 --RIP SCENE The rules for this report are simple. If it wasn't nuked on sites, and was accepted by the scene, it makes it in the report. All groups that released a couple times during the week will be reported. The scores will be very easy to follow. There won't be a scale of 1-5 based on one person's opinion. Using the same formula that is less controversial from the ISO charts, every game, no matter of the quality or if an official addon pack, will be +5 points. If a game is truly undisputed exceptional, it'll get an additional +1 bonus point. Patches will get +2 points, Trainers & Addons will get +1, and Cheat Codes will get +0.5 points. A nuked or non working release will get -1. If minor fixes are released, and are needed, the release group who originally released the rip will be penalized. ______ /| ___ /\______ /\______ / \/ | / _ \ / _____/ _____> / |_ / |/ | \\____ \ \____ \ < | < / | / | \/ | \ \ _____\_<____|___\_____ /\_____ / +=\/======================\/=======\/==+ RELEASE: POINTS: Tomb Raider 4 Trainer +1 Supreme Snowboarding +5 Southpark: Chef's Luv Shack +5 Southpark: Chef's Luv Shack REG Fix (PRECISE) +0 Supreme Snowboarding Cheat Codes +0.5 Supreme Snowboarding Missing DLL Fix (IND) -1 Bass Tournament 3D +5 Supreme Snowboarding Fix (ZEROHOUR) -1 Tonic Trouble Working Trainer +1 Age of Wonders v1.1 Update Cracked +2 Monopoly Casino Trainer +1 MindRover +5 Rally Championship Cheats +1 Total: +24.5 Points COMMENTS: Class put out its regular amount of games this week which were decent and some were its usual shit. Some had probs with Supreme Snowboarding, and the fixes helped it some people out, while others still couldn't get it to work. Chef's Luv Shack was disappointing, but a decent release, but still some people couldn't get it to work 100%. The REG fix didn't fix any problems with the game, which is the fact that only one player can play (while others got no sound in the game). A little quick on the draw at times.. ▄██▀██▄ ▐█▄ █▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▌ ▀ ▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▐█▓▌▓█▀▀▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▐██▌ ▐██▌██▄▀█▀██▄▀██▄▐█▀▐█▓▌▄ ▐█▀██▄▀▄██▄ ▐██▌▄██▀ ▐▓█▌▌ ██▓ ▐██▌▌ ▐██▌██ ▌ ▐██▌█ ██▌ ▐██▌ ▄██▀▄██▌▌ ▄▄▄▀▄██▌ ▐██▌██▌ ▐██▌█ ▐██ ▐██▌▐██▌ ▐█▓▌▌▐██▌ ▐█▓▌▌ ▐█▓▌█▓▌▌ ▐█▓▌█ ▐█▓ ▐██▌ ▀██▄█▀█▌█▄▀██▄█▀█▌█▄██▀▄██▌█▄▐█▓▌▀ ██▓ ▄▄▄ ▐██▌ ▀███▄███ ▀▀▀▀▀ RELEASE: POINTS: Swedish Touring Car Championship +5 Descent 3: Mercenary +5 Descent 3: Mercenary Reg Fix -1 Gorky 17 Savegame Fix (MiNiME) -1 Fritz 6 +5 Tonic Trouble +5 Tonic Trouble Trainer +0 TOTAL: +18 Points COMMENTS: Paradigm wins on the race of the ISO ripping on several good games, but also we see fixes coming out.. which isn't good, but not devestating. They also show they can supply original titles of their own (Fritz6). PDM just shows it doesn't matter how many suppliers or leaders a group has, a lot of it depends on a good cracking team. __ ______ ______ ____ _____ ____ _____ \// _ \ _ \_\__/ _ \_\__/_\_ \ / / / / /. / / / / / / \______/ \____|_/\___ /___/___/ / --------|___|---------/____\------/____\- RELEASE: POINTS: Tomb Raider 4 Music Addon +1 Total Soccer 2000 +5 Homeworld v1.04 Update Cracked +2 Anamaniacs Splatball +5 Anamaniacs Splatball Movie Addon +1 Monopoly Casino +5 Space Invaders Trainer +1 TOTAL: +20 Points COMMENTS: Well this time around the alliance with DVNiSO actually works, and we see original titles come from the UK & internal suppliers for OGN. While nothing of exceptional quality, they did show they still have what it takes to muster it in the scene. They try hard to be a force on the scene, and come close this week. Lets hope they don't go back to being dormant. ▄▄ ▓▀▀▀▀▓▀ ▀█▓ ▀▀▀▓ ▓▀▀▀▀▀▓▀▀ ▄▄▀ ▀▀▀▓▄▄ ▄▄▓▀▀▀▀ ░ ▄▄▄▄ █▓ ▄▄ ▓ ▀▀ █▓█ ▄▄▀██▄▄▄██▄ ▄▄▄▄██▓ ▄███▀ █▓ ▄▄ ▀ ░ █▓█ ▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▀█▓▌▄▓██▀ ██▓ █▓█▓▌ ░ █▓ █▓▐█ ▐▓█▌ █▓ █▓▌ ░ █▓▌█▓█▌■▄ ▀███▓▄ ▄ █▓ █▓ ██▄▄██▀░ █▓ █▓▌ █▓▌▀███▄ ▀▀▀▀▀ █▓ ▀▀ ▀▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀ ▀██▄ ▀▀█▄▄ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀■ RELEASE: POINTS: Anamaniacs Splatball Trainer +1 Wheel of Time (Broken) -1 Wheel of Time REPACK +6 Everest +5 Everest Movie Addon +1 AD&D Core Rules 2 Expansion Pack v3.20pr Update Cracked +2 Unreal Tournament +5 Unreal Tournament HiRes Tournament +1 Unreal Tournament Missing Editor Files (COLA) -1 TOTAL: +18 Points COMMENTS: Well it seems this week DVN is tackling the games that were deemed "unrippable". While people are mumbling about the disk limit being raised, DVN puts a lot of hard effort into ripping two huge games, Wheel of Time & Unreal Tournament. Both were nuked on some sites for being a rape, and some have complained that WoT is a botched release, even after the first failed broken release. We'll give WoT the benefit of the doubt.. but Unreal Tournament had the low res textures ripped just to get it down to the limit, making a good case of calling it a r-a.. well, you know the rest. /\______ /\______ ____/\______ __ \____ \/ \__ \/ _ \____ \ __/ \____ / _/ _/ \/ / / / _/ _// / / / / / / \ \ /\ / /\ / / \ \/ /\ / / / \__/\ \/ \______\___/\__/\ \/ / /_/_/ ======\___)===\__)============\___)=\/====== RELEASE: POINTS: Interstate 82 Trip Hack Mode +1 TOTAL: +1 Points COMMENTS: Trainer 1911.

MINIME - +9 Points 6. RAZOR - +1 Points --ISO GAME SCENE This report will now also start reporting about the ISO Game Scene. We figured it was time to give the ISO Game Scene an overview, and not let the rip scene get all the attention. Same rules: +5 points for each release, +2 points for patches, +1 point for trainers, 0.5 points for cheat codes, and a bonus point for any exceptional releases. Any nukes will get -1 points. ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄█▀▀ ▄▄▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄█▀▀ ▄▄███▀█▓▓▄ █ █ ▄▄▄▄ ▄████▀ ▐██▓▌▐█▄▄▄▄ ▐▌▐███▌▐███▌ ▀▀▀▀ ▄▄▄▄ █ ▄▄▄▄▄ ▀ ████ ███▄ ▐▓██▌▐█▄█▀▀▀▀▀▀█ ▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄█▀▀▀ ▄ ▀▀█▄ ▐███▌▐█▌ ▄▄▄▄ ▓▓██ ▄▄▄▄ ▀▀▀▀ ██▀▀▀ ▄▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀███▄ █ ▄▄▄███▓ ██▄ ▐██▓▌▐▓██▌ ▐▀░▀▌▐███▌ ▄▄███▀█▓▓▄ █ █ ▄███▀ ▐█▓▓▌▐█▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄███▀ ▐██▓▌ ▀▀████▓ ████ █▄██ ██▓▓ ██▀ ▐██▓▌▐▌ ▐▌▐███▌ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄▄▄ ▀▀█▄ ▐▌▐▓██▌ ▄██▓▓▀ █▄▄ ▀▀ ▐▓██▌───▐███▌▐██▓▌▐▌ ▀▀███▓ ▀▀▀▀ ▓███ ───── ▄▄████▀█▓▓▄ █ █ ▀▓▓█▄██▀▀ ▄▄█▀ ▀▀▀█ ▀▀███▄ ▄███▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▄█ ░▐███▌▐███▄▄▄▀█▌ ▄▄▄▄▀█▓▓▀ ▐██▓▌▐▌ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄ ▀▀█▀▀ ▄▄█▀█▌▐██▓▌ ▀▀▀▀▄██ ▀██▓▓ █▄ ▐██▓▌▐█▌ ▀▀▀▀ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄▄█▀▀ ▐█ ▀▀▀▀ █▌▐▓██▌ ▐██▓▌▐██▄██▓▀ █▄ ░ ░▓██▌ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ ▀▀▀▀ oO ███▓ ▀▀▀ ▄▄█▌ ▄▄▄▄ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ ▐███▌▐▀▀▀█ ▀▓▓█▄ ▐██▓▌▐▌ █ ▀▀▀▀ █ ▀█▄ ▀▀█████▓ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄ ▀▀▀ ▄█ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ RELEASE: POINTS: Infinite Air +5 Total Soccer 2000 +5 Anamaniacs Splatball +5 Monopoly Casino +5 Bass Tournament 3D +5 Tonic Trouble Store Final +5 Tonic Trouble Trainer +0 Trivial Pursuit NASCAR Edition +5 TOTAL: +35 Points COMMENTS: The ISO scene always talked how FLT was the new #1 champ, and that Deviance is losing its touch. Well this week, they prove everyone wrong. They win on the awaited Tonic Trouble, but the rest isn't exactly stellar quality. But they do show they aren't gonna disappear into being another RZR. Expect the FLT & Deviance rivaly to be fought tooth and nail. ▄▄▄████▄▄▄ ▄▄▄█ ▄████████████████▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄█████ █████▀▀▀████████████████████████████ ███▀ ▀▀██████████████████████▀ ██ ▄█▄ ▀▀██████████████▀▀ █ ▀█▌ ▄█ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▄▄ ▄█▀▄▄███ ▄ ▄█ ▄ ▄█ ▄█ ▀▀▀ ████ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ ▄██ ▄███ ▄██ ▄███ ▄███ ▄▄████▄████████▀ ▀ ███ ▀ ███ ▄ ███ ▄▀▀██████▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▄▄ ▄ ▄█ ▄█ ▄█▄▀██ ▄█ ▄▄ ▄ ███ ▄▄ ████████▄ ▄▄████ ▄█▀ ▀█▄█ ▄███ ▄████▀▀█▀▄█ ▄███ ▄█▀ ▀█▄█ ███▄█▀██ ▀▀███▀▀█ ▄▀▀█████ ▐██ ███ ███ ███ ███ ███ ▐██ ███ ███▀ ██ ███ ████ ▐██ ███ ███ ███ ███ ███ ▐██ ███ ███ ██ ███ ▄▄████ ▐██▌ ███ ▄███ ███ ███ ███ ▐██▌ ███ ███ ██ ███ ▄▀▀█████▌ ▀██▄█▀███▀███ ███ ███ ███ ▀██▄████ ███ ██ ███ █████▄ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀ ███▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀ ▄███▄ ████████▄▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐█▀██▀▄ ▄███████▀▀ ▄██▀ ▀█▄ ▄▄████▀▀ ▄▄███▄▄▄ ▄▄▀▀ ▀▀██▀▀▀ ▀█▀ █▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ RELEASE: POINTS: Tomb Raider 4 Trainer +1 Supreme Snowboarding +5 Descent 3 Mercenary +5 Southpark Chef's Luv Shack +5 Anamaniacs Splatball Trainer +1 Tonic Trouble Trainer +1 Monopoly Casino Trainer +1 TOTAL: +19 Points COMMENTS: Well this week FLT came up just a little bit short for the week.

Completely and totally flake on me. Yes he says he's done, but does he send me it? Nooooo. So we rls without cuz I need something to do until work and you guys want this shit. So here it comes! And yes I am blatantly ripping the layout of Bud's report. Disclaimer: It's BIASED moron. My opinion. So don't send me a bunch of mail & messages bitching about this or that. If you don't like it... SCREW YOU =] Rankings: Groups get a score out of 10. Points are given for amount of releases, but QUALITY titles will give a group a much higher score. Nukes for duping, broken releases and just plain CRAP will lower a groups score. However on the occasion that a title is nuked which I don't feel should have been, MY OWN JUDGEMENT TAKES PRECEDENCE. Cuz I'm writing this. Groups can also get points for any other reason I see fit. Week: Week is based from 11/23/99 to 12/01/99. I'm in the EST time zone so dates/times run according to it.

So alot of credit goes to DOD although the poor packaging job is really not what you'd expect from a group with this much experience. The rest of the week was left with A firewall program that we've seen many times before and an update of Expressions, nothing fancy there. Highlight of the week is clearly 3dsmax. Well, I talked alot of good about DOD and then I did some digging and I find out that they fucked up alot more than packaging on 3dsmax, rumors abound of a beta? Cmon..and they ripped all help and some plugins, I couldn't use 3dsmax without some help guys..cmon now.

Alot of this shit I'll be perfectly honest I dont have the slightest what they do, some y2k shit in there and a licensed new version of DeBussy is kind of cool, as well as the new DR SCSI. They got nuked on a number of sites for the little Gamespy patchloader though. Not RBS's strongest week but they are still rls'ing alot and not ignoring the NON-PC ppl with some nice linux titles.

Rise bounces back from it's worst week since its revival with a nice stream of cad as well as some mainstream apps to fill the week. Cimatron is clearly the highlight of this week, even beating out 3dsmax in this reviewers mind, but graphics buffs would disagree I'm sure. The rest of the apps fill out with Iges Works, and Microstation SE filling out the other top titles. Rational soda is a word addon that is fairly cool for graphing and charting. Rise grabs another Rational app, getting the newest offering of Rose Ent edition. All and all a very strong week from Rise and although it probably seems like I'm being biased, you have to credit them for a solid week of titles, tho losing on a few apps they would have liked to have won on. <g> Total: 9/10 ..._______________________.___ ____.____... ::/ _______/ ____/ | \/ | \:: _/\____ \/ /___/ | \ \: \ > \ \ \/ \ \ :\__________/\________/_________/|_____|___/ ::.. .:[ SCUM ]:. .:[SCUM]:. .:[SCUM]:. ..:: ```````````````````````````````````````````` SCUM: Releases: EDS.MOLDWIZARD.FOR.UNIGRAPHICS.V1.2-SCuM 29439KB FLOW-3D.V7.5-SCuM 22205KB AUTODESK.ACTRIX.BUSINESS.V1.0-SCuM 44671KB AUTODESK.EXPRESS.TOOLS.V8.FOR.AUTOCAD.2000-SCuM 3382KB SOLID.VIEW.PRO.V3.52-SCuM 9010KB SILVERFAST.TWAIN.V4.2.6.FOR.AGFA-SCuM 4717KB SILVERFAST.TWAIN.V4.2.6.FOR.AVISION-SCuM 4759KB SILVERFAST.TWAIN.V4.2.6.FOR.DC-SCuM 4771KB SILVERFAST.TWAIN.V4.2.6.FOR.EPSON-SCuM 4776KB SILVERFAST.TWAIN.V4.2.6.FOR.HDR-SCuM 4772KB SILVERFAST.TWAIN.V4.2.6.FOR.HEWTEK-SCuM 4708KB SILVERFAST.TWAIN.V4.2.6.FOR.HP-SCuM 4766KB SILVERFAST.TWAIN.V4.2.6.FOR.LINOTYPE-SCuM 4704KB SILVERFAST.TWAIN.V4.2.6.FOR.MICROTEK-SCuM 4775KB SILVERFAST.TWAIN.V4.2.6.FOR.NIKON-SCuM 4702KB SILVERFAST.TWAIN.V4.2.6.FOR.NIKONAX-SCuM 4702KB SILVERFAST.TWAIN.V4.2.6.FOR.PHOTOCD-SCuM 4744KB SILVERFAST.TWAIN.V4.2.6.FOR.PS-SCuM 4704KB SILVERFAST.TWAIN.V4.2.6.FOR.UMAX-SCuM 4704KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.AGFA.-SCuM 4474KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.AVISION-SCuM 4518KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.DC-SCuM 9046KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.DC.FIXED-SCuM 4529KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.EPSON-SCuM 4533KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.HDR-SCuM 4531KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.HOWTEK-SCuM 4550KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.HP-SCuM 4520KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.LINOTYPE-SCuM 4461KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.MICROTEK-SCuM 4535KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.NICONAX-SCuM 4545KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.NICONM-SCuM 5065KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.NIKON-SCuM 4545KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.PHOTOCD-SCuM 4501KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.PS-SCuM 4460KB SILVERFAST.V4.2.6.FOR.UMAX-SCuM 4461KB SILVERFAST.PATCHES.FOR.NT-SCuM 29KB CABLETOOLS.V2.5.2.2-SCuM 14069KB Scum has a HUGE week, oh wait, thats all the same thing only for every known printer/scanner known to man. you guys ever hear of like a package set? :) Anyways, most of you know that Twain is a scanning software..etc.. That covers all that shit. The rest of the week was pretty quiet though, The 2 major highlights were Solid View Pro and EDS Moldwizard for UG. Solid View is top notch and tho not a new UG, Moldwizard is one of the better addons for it. And then they throw in a couple Autodesk offerings for good measure. Good week, but not what scum is known best for.

Eplan shoulda ripped the SP2, but still a decent app, and they snag an autodesk titles as well. Solid week in their debut with NWR.

But did you also know that in real life, Lester's real name is "Roger", and he hosts a popular syndicated television show, where he plays a big fatass who has nothing better to do with his time than go to every single movie ever released? Well.. now you know.. I can't think, did I see anything? OH YA End of Days Starring: Arnohld!@#, Robin Tunney, Gabriel Byrne Rating: 3 out of 4 Stars Well, I was kind of skeptical with the type of movie this is and the casting call of Arnie as the main star, but he was actually very good in the film and Byrne plays the prince of darkness to perfection. Very well done and well written for his character. Tunney is the chosen child who will mate with byrne and bring about the apocalypse at the end of the millennium. Arnie gets in the middle of it all and has to save the day hopefully as usual. It's not a religious flick, it's jsut based upon religious beliefs. The film has a good comedic factor as well as cool action sequences and SE's..definately worth the time to see and on a big screen too. Thazzit..i didn't get to TS2 yet. =----------------------------------=-------------------------------------= =---------[ VCD Group and Movie Reviews ]----------= We would like to begin by explaining some of the common terms used in VCD releasing. These formats are: CAM - A cam is usually a handheld camera snuck into a full theatre. The base is shaky, the audio is poor, you can hear people laughing and talking. A cam is distinguishable by usually having a combination of all three or more of these flaws. Most sites nuke cams for their general poor quality. Workprint - An early release of a movie. These are usually stolen or leaked copies of movies that have made their way onto VCD from VHS or a variety of other sources. These will usually contain running time codes as well as other identifying marks used in movie production. The quality on these can vary from bad to very good depending on the quality of the source material used to encode the VCD. Note: This category is also used for very bad screeners or copies of movies that just didn't fit into any of the other categories due to defects or problems with the quality of the VCD's audio/video image. Telesync - Basically a very good Cam. A steady base such as a tripod is used, the theatre is empty or very close to empty, and the audio and video are up to par. Although, you can usually detect some flaw with a TS. You may see a random head pop up, the screen edges are noticable, or the audio isn't always crystal clear. While not perfect, the quality in general of a telesync ranges from good to very good and is usually the first type of VCD made of a new movie. Screeners - These are the top quality VCDs. They can be in either widescreen (letterbox) or in full-screen (pan and scan) with excellent audio and video. These are made from video distributors demo tapes, reviewers copies, insider copies of the film or from any number of sources. Most screeners will contain "1-800-NO-COPIES" or "Property of.." messages somewhere in the film, but it's not a requirement to fit into the screener category. These most closely resemble a VHS or LaserDisc copy of the movie. They're easily identifiable by their top quality. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- No Ryche.. ... ...
