There's even a fourth. I'll be releasing that one, too. :wink:

Already done:

Actually part III too, but at least it now has a nice release page of its own. :-P

Oh and:

You are by far not the first one :-P

Actually wargand, those others are rubbish and needed a proper imo.

part 3 = no sources, trashcanned since I don't see much point if a better rip is out (this one)
part 4 = nuke. Under the rules of high quality, number four is a nuke for bad IVTC (and being a blurry mess). It could be way better reripped, which i guess is the point of reripping.

Those releases are a shambles; hard subs, poor quality, unable to get the releases due to lack of sources (part four has some but is a nuke, part 3 has none). No filespecs, or screenshots until you were put under duress and they are far from encouraging. I got number four and its a mess, i think i deleted it. I sorted out number four and moved it to lower quality.

I have no idea how those other threads have survived not being trashcanned up until now

I guess its from back when there wasn't as many sections and you could get away with posting without providing info.

I'd appreciate a proper rip 4 since none have been done in decent quality so far

This might be true for part 3 (not sure, ages since I watched it). But but the screenshots of part 4 does not look so bad. Alas, this might lead to a useless quality quarrel, so better stop here. :-)

A nuke?

Strange, I don't remember anything wrong with it other than being worse than the other three parts.

I think i may have substantially higher standards my dear wargand so i won't continue much

However, the rip in question was not very good at all, in my opinion. The fact that its divx3 and low on sources just makes it a more likely candidate but the ripper didn't IVTC back to the correct framerate if i remember correctly, and I do recall deleting because of poor quality.

However, to answer your question:
Nuke = ripping mistake, for example, not IVTC'ing a NTSC rip back to 23fps as it should be.

Higher Quality Guidelines:

And about the introduction:
http://forum.dead-donkey.com/viewtopic.php?t=10189

With all this in mind, it is positively a candidate for replacement and a better rip shouldn't be very hard to produce.

I'm confident Rogue's rip will be better.

That's not really the point, the rip looks subpar (and it does, this is obviously where we differ) because of its mistakes. it can be vastly improved by ripping properally.

There's good and there's better, you acheive better by doing things right. IMO it wasn't a good looking rip anyway, so its really academic, and by correcting the mistakes and using a better codec it will look a damn sight better. Well we'll see anyway

Damn, now I feel under pressure. Hope I can live up to the expectations. After all, I'm only a n00b ripper.

Anyway, thanks for the confidence, Spud. :beerchug:

About part four: There is a 29.97 frames divx3 version which a friend of mine has. The DVDs I have access to are far from being perfect but I'll do my best to rip them properly. About the dupe issue: I'm a freelance releaser and naturally I don't give a damn about being nuked for releasing a dupe. :mrgreen:

So part four will be ripped and released as soon as part three is properly spread.

After that I'll probaly release 'Plaga Zombie - Mutant Zone'. I've never done a dual audio rip but I'll try to include the cast commentary. Since I've also ordered a faster connection today, you guys are in for a treat.

About the threat highjacking: I forgive you guys.

but you are a conehead wargand.

@rogue, the one that your friend has sounds like the same one that wargand linked to. Don't worry about propering that, it needs one
