The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Awesome movie. Amazing cinematography, really nice soundtrack, class acting by Casey Affleck, and most of all, beautiful storyline. There's nothing much going on, but the tension is kept throughout the latter part of the film (it's a little slow to start).

4.5/5

Watched Lawrence of Arabia today (Yawned 4 times while watching)

@goobimama and @drgrudge - Guys can you help me ?
I have a specific problem when playing 1080p HDRips,
Using VLC makes the video blur while audio is fine, on the other hand using Media Player Classic makes the video clear and distorts audio.
I checked using Matroska Diag, it says All Codecs installed.Still after installing CCCP, Audio Skips sometimes occur and video gets fast forwarded when maximized to full screen

My Sys Config
P IV 3.2 Ghz HT
1 GB DDR 400 RAM
256 XFX 6200 nVIDIA Graphics Card
24" Dell E248WFP Monitor

Do you think I need to upgrade my RAM or its the Processor which is letting me down as per the Sys Req given below ?

By the way found this really cool page from Apple's Website regarding Minimum System Requirements for HD Playback n008s

Thanks for the guide,drgrudge.


After waiting just 6 days, I received my Dell 24 inch E248WFP Monitor
Watched 300 in High Def. Viola, I couldnt believe my eyes for the print.

[ArZuNeOs]

try using GOM player yaar & Core AVC Codec ( not a freeware )

 

[drgrudge]

techtronic -
AFAIK, RAM has nothing to do with the HD playback. It's your proccy. With 3.2 ghz, there should be a problem.


Did you try the codecs? In my PC, I play with VLC as it's playing without any issue, but my friend uses FFDshow. See the guide again and try the codecs. You can play in full 1080p.

By the way, what's the resolution of the monitor and how much is that?

 

[techtronic]

Dell E248WFP Monitor - 24 " (Max Res - 1920*1200)
Cost - 24076 (including Warranty & Delivery Charges)

So you really think that my processor could be a problem as suggested before ?
By the way what is your Hardware Config ?
Anyway I am planning to upgrade my RAM next month by another 1 GB
(Currently its 1 GB)

I am able to play 720p HDRips without any issues,
I didnt even install CCCP Codec pack, I just used VLC 0.8.6c to play.
Issue is only with 1080p HDRips as I have mentioned before.
Inspite of installing AVC and AAC Codecs, the video skips with MPC and audio skips with VLC

 

[drgrudge]

My Mac got Santa Rosa 2.2 Ghz C2D, 2 GB RAM and 128 MB Gfx card. But remeber I've never tried playing 1080p. I've only 720p with me, right now.

RAM has nothing to do with HD. It's only Proccy and maybe Gfx card. I made a typo in my previous post. "With 3.2 ghz, there should NOT be a problem."

Try FFDshow and post back. You need to find a good player and proper codec to play 1080p. Also why MPC? Try other players like MPlayer?

@goobimama and @drgrudge - Guys can you help me ?

Just try SMplayer once

 

[goobimama]

I told this guy 1080p is useless. You will not notice a difference on a 24" display unless you watch movies with a magnifying glass.

Get CoreAVC
Get AC3filter

Media Player classic > Options > External filters > Add filter > Browse > CoreAVCdecoder.ax. Then set it to "Prefer". (If you used some script to install coreavc, then you can skip the 'browse' step.)

...>...>External Filters > Add filter > AC3 decoder should be in the list. Make sure it's 1.46 version.

Should work

Here is also a clear case that VLC plain sucks. You will NOT get that 1080p working in VLC no matter what you do.

 

[drgrudge]

Ok, I'll get Robots in full 1080p (within a week or so) and I'll try to run on VLC. Let's see if there is any issue.

 

[goobimama]

@techtronics: I feel sorry for you. Now that you have a 24" display, there's no going back to dvdrips. I'm sure within a month or two it will be just "HDrips fan" in your usertitle...

 

[iMav]

oh man i cant wait to get a 1080 rip for my 32" now just wondering for a movie to waste 2gigs on

 

[faraaz]

The Matrix is always good for eye candy...or Lord of the Rings - Return of the King...mmm...eye candy....

 

[drgrudge]

Guys, what is this? NO SCENE/TORRENT SITES TALK. Talking about HD stuffs is ok but we don't want other things hinting what you are upto.


I'll have to close/delete this thread (like Raaabo said) if things get out of hand.

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^Okk,sorry,shouldn't have mentioned that site in this thread.But talking about the sizes was ok,or we can't talk about that either?(just asking)

 

[drgrudge]

Talking about torrent sites and release groups will not be allowed. This size talk also makes no sense. People need to know that HD stuff is big. For any other info, they need to be on their own.

@grudgy is talking about rips illegal? sources and links yes but is talking about size of a movie after ripping considered illegal
