Tropa De Elite 8/10

A good action movie.

Isn't it similar to Indian corruption scenario? Reminded me of RGV movies...

Brazilian movie
PARRA PA PA PA PA PA PA PA PA

Get a 2.5GB rip with at least 1mbps bit-rate and see the difference.

Sam I think my DVD player doesn't play any movies with size more than 2 GB. I tried getting some movies over 2 GB I think they are mostly BR Rips. However my DVD player refuses to play these. I'm referring to rips and not the regular DVD's which are 4.3 GB.

I had to end up converting this 2.5 GB rips using a software to DVD and play it.
Do you have any suggestions?

127 hours
8/10
GREAT movie , awesome Music (refer ; A.R.Rahman)
Must Watch

I was tempted to watch 127 hours and Black Swan screener but somehow resisted myself. Will wait for proper stuff

HD media player is the best option as suggested by Sam.

By the way, do the latest HD media players play mkv files?

BRRips are mostly in mkv format...if they are mkv files then convert them and play

Another screener watcher ..... (not to be taken as derogatory)

I prefer BRRips for those movies which have some gr8 sfx and for animation movies...movies like 127hours don't require a BRRip IMO.

Picnic At Hanging Rock

nice movie but has many funnily boring scenes.nevertheless the surprising elements are quite good.

Tropic Thunder 6.5/10

Good movie. It should be counted in action genre rather comedy. Though it contains slapstick comedy but has considerable amount of action too. Really surprised by the action part. Had no expectation.

Funny Games(2007):
one of the most disturbing movies i have seen... where the villains win at the end....

@ajayritik: do u have DivX Player???

Yes Karan mine is a DivX Player

You DVD must be a divx player, that can only play AVI container ....... Hope you are not trying to play an MKV file ...????

Try playing a file (2GB+) which is encoded with divx and has AVI container ......

But I personally suggest if you are a movie lover (which seems you are) dump a DVD player and get a decent media player, these days the prices also have come down, you should get media player for 4,5K. Infact Asus OPlay have launched a player just for 3500, that plays all HD content, check out the review here ...

Asus O Play Mini > HD Media Player > Techtree.com

As far as I can recollect its not mkv file and its avi container.

Would I be able to still use my 5.1 Speaker system of Home theater with this Media Players. I mean I don't want the Home Theater system to lie there without using them.

BRRips are mostly in mkv format...if they are mkv files then convert them and play

The one I tried to play were not mkv format.

Grandma's Boy

i think your 5.1 speaker system will work fine with this . If not whats the point in calling it as HD media players

Bourn Ultimatum (6/10).....

 

[pulkitpopli2004]

watch No one killed Jessica.. ultimate muvi.. worth watching..

 

[abhidev]

^^ It atlest deserves a DVD rip ..... anyway no movie IMHO deserves a screeners, R5ss, TeleSyncss, etc etc ....... 800mb DVD rip should be the bare minimum one should watch.....just out of shear respect, if however at all one calls himself a decent movie viewer

and BRrips are not for gfx and animations ....lol, its the quality of the originality that one longs while watching any movie, which BTW can anyhow still be achieved through a decent DVD Rip ...

True...its the quality that makes the difference...but BRRIps are much better...and so movies like Avatar and animation movies with good sfx are well viewed on BRRips.

Ofcourse you would be able to play and use your HT with the media player. Infact you would be able to use your HT to its full potential with a media player.

I'm little noob when it comes to the speaker connections etc with 5.1. One of my friends was saying with my home theater the amplifier will be in the DVD Player itself so if I play the movies with the Media player then I will not be able to get the desired result since will not be using the DVD player to play the movies.

Sorry folks for asking this info on this thread.

Flightplan - 6/10
A good thriller but the ending and overall impact was not great.

I do want to watch BR Rips but due to slow internet speed and vast difference in size, I end up compiling DVD Rips.

 

[Zangetsu]

@amrawtanshx: u will also find 1~2GB of BRRips.....
