Unfortunately, as some of you may have noticed when trying to play our vid recently, it doesn't work anymore. Apparently the package that came with the zip is a trial afterall, which means that everyone who has downloaded or just recently downloaded in 2005 will not be able to view this video because of the expiration date on the codec. Also, for the people that have never seen this and downloaded after the expiration date, I'm sorry that you were unable to view because of this restriction; it's b.s. really. This is extremely disappointing and I discussed with Clue about Compatibility vs. Quality, but then he told me this package would not expire so I agreed to go with Nero.

I think the good things and the bad things about Nero kind of level out (The awesome quality, the smoothness, the size especially, etc. and then the bad things like the vid and music not syncing with older computers.) but it is unacceptable that it expires and disallows play. I'm assuming he has already deleted the source file and raw footage and cams taken for the vid so there's no hope for a DivX version, which sucks. We'll try and work to find a reasonable solution in the near future. Once again, The Team and I sincerely apologize for this.

NERO DIGITAL CODEC - WHAT IS IT, WHY DO I NEED IT AND WHERE DO I GET IT ?
first of all you will need it to watch this movie because it is fully coded by the brand new and near losless quality Nero Digital. Sadly nero has their claims on the codec, this means some ( most in my case, could be different at other people though) players don't support the codec.

To prevent this but still to enjoy the low filesize and near losless quality you will need to install the 34 meg Nero package which includes the codec itself ( Nero Recode 2 ) and Nero Showtime ( the player, its very good ) and some other utilities which may prove usefull but do not take up much space.

- ''why the hell do I need to download a 34 meg EXTRA to watch just this movie, hell im not doing that''

Simple, this codec is so good it will become the new standard because of its insane quality and great filesize. You will need this codec later on for the next generation of movies anyway.

filesize : is godly. You can pinpoint at exactly 20 megs a minute, sometimes lowering filesizes 50 to 100 meg ! Think of it in the long run, what is 34 meg over 100 meg + insane quality ? :)

quality : near losless, very sharp and rarely any pixel errors. Its better then anything you have ever seen. And yes, it beats xvid blindfolded.

- "all good and well, but WHERE can I get it, you better provide me a friggin' link!"

I included it within this 07-eventhorizon-hq.zip , so download the movie and you'll get the nero pack with it ;)

- "so your forcing me to download this movie along with nero at the same time, and AFTER the download you want me to install it aswell !"

yup.

P.s. This package is a trail version, which by now has expired

P.S. It may be a good idea not to switch programs after you have started the video with Nero Showtime, the picture may dissynchronyse with the sound and mess it all up :)

Have a goodday gentlemen :)

phew, what to say?

first the codec:
i dont believe that nero vision will be the coming standard
i installed this program and deselected all options for nero to play my media files
result: doubleclick on any video/mp3 starts nero vision >:|
the quality is awesome, but it was awesome too @ it2 / freeform / ...
u cant play the file with any other player than nero - but i dont like this player,
so this is definitely NOT the future :>
btw. what about linuxusers?
i installed it, i watched the movie, now im going to deinstall the program again

the tricks:
just '!!'
10 points

the music:
argh =/ techno sounds like in the 90s ? danii minogue?
secondly the audio wasn syncro with the video at all cause the videostream was
played too slow (my fault, the players fault or gods fault, dunno) @ xp1900+
imho this wasnt a good choice

recams / editing:
very good job, but nothin new or spectacular
4-5 cams were not perfect

finally:
a really great movie, awesome action, fine editing, ugly music :> and perfect quali
the codec will prevent me from seeing it again on my pc
im trying the next days to convert it to xvid (plz tell me how to do that?),
although that surely will not improve the videoquality

9/10

Haven't seen the vid yet(not at my place for a couple more days) but what I'm excited about is
someone using Nero Record already, and confidently. You underlined all the benefits so I hope
people realize it's worth it after reading your 'FAQ' in the post :P Will check it out when I return home, but I'm sure it's great(and looks great too) :P I hope to see some more AVC/h.264
encoded movies, I've decided I will be using it for my next project also.. 13-14mb/min at 800x600 with beautiful quality? Hell yes :)

Nero, I think I love you. ;)

Really absolute awesome quality, awesome aswesome awesome ;)

The tricks were very nice mainly, but u killed the whole movie with this stupid music.
Absolutely no syncing, even on obvious parts, where I thought, NOW will be some syncing - but nothing came.

Very boring movie, can't stand 15 minutes, even though the content and quality is ... awesome :>

Edit: bunny-burning, quality 9??? this cant possibly be better :|

theres are some way to make the quality "better", watch it2 then you will see, quality = the whole image looking (imo). in this movie the pictures are more or less the standard q3 output pics, no color correction or glow and stuff... in it 3 there are some really big pictures adjustments which makes for me the "quality" better.

@spawnzen: hehe, when installing the app, there you had to choice which formats you want to open with this application, just deselect all when installing, and the result will be that you still got the old format-appz-links ;) (ps: dont just click "weiter" so fast xD)

there is just brightness/contrast adjustion bb, I dont do anything else most of the time ( such as lensflares, glow, saturation etc ) because I dont like that alot. In iT2 jrb used loads of lenseflares in a good way, something I can't and rather not even try because that would fuck it all up ;)

Spawnsen, I can still select any of the media players by right clicking the file. So you don't need to watch any of the other movies with the nero player, just select your fav one in the list.

I must say WOW! These Vid pulls me from the chair! :D I think editing is not important for this Movie. The content pushed it to the top 3 of the best quake trickjumping vids i'e ever seen. Absolutly amazing and creative stuff from your team! I give content a big fat 10 with 3 * :) and quality is top, too!
It must so hard to time such tricks like on 4:30 or 6:20 absolutly insane!

To the choice of music i thinks it's not bad except danii :P but for me you use too much slomos, me gets crazy when i hear fast music and slomo action on a 10 min timespan. But who cares definatly on my favourites. And everyone who like trickin shoulkd be download this or die! :P

Someone should be mentioned it on the Newspage! otis??? :D

quality and tricks are very nice, effects and cams are good



nero will not be the future (we will move to opensource eventually) but this type of quality/compression (and better) will be.

wow, guys thanks. we really appreciate all the comments. we never thought it would be liked this much, tbh we kind of thought are tricks lacked a bit. we just recent after this vid was done taking in demos, have been getting some stuff we think is better. so hopefully you will like Eh2 when ever we decied to do it. I am pretty sure i can say this on behalf of the team. We didnt think we would get this feedback and it really a shock and makes those long hours into the night and morning and even months (DM12 run) all worth it. to our face. also clue did a great job of making the video. and i want to express my thanks to you clue, because i know how edditing is time consuming.

thanks all for the comments!

the movie was very boring for me :( i think its because of the music which was shitty :/ the quality - hmm it is good but i think the codec doesnt influenced on that. if the movie had lower resolution and it had more detail the quality wouldnt be so awesome :) i`ve tested it on my computer and the quality didnt differ much from the xvid clip :)

Past projects:

Fragtime (150 MB) /download/

The pa1nful movie (382 MB) /download/

Present project:

Fragtime 2

Of course the codec has influence on the quality, but in my opinion this is not the best example of
it's compression capabilities at all. 22.5mb is really pushing it now - overkill..but I'm sure it looks damn near lossless(wont see it for another 4hrs). To give you an idea, I think jrb had iT2 down to 310mb or thereabouts with this codec. I can only assume it still looked great. I know I can pull off 12/13mb per min on an 800x600 CS vid. I know I know, CS..but that's still kind of a big deal :)

And vb-, I think fei meant an open source binary of this codec :P Nero's got this one in the bag so far because they currently have the best encoder. I'll be in heaven when better ones come out that I can use in Vdub and open with the player of my choice :)


**Excuse my error. I was counting the Nero Pack included as part of the video file's size when I calculated the mb/min..Anyways, I watched the vid and it looks excellent..Couldn't find a single flaw..The synching didn't seem too apparent to me, every minute or so there might be an effect that looked like effort was put in to synch it to the music, but didn't notice anything else :S Quality and content, great, editing was alright but synching was almost non-existant to me, and I doubt my comp was playing it out of synch. Would rate it an 8 overall. Would have been much more engaging with some nice synch/maybe better music choices..Still a very good vid though
