Wow, the bluray is magnificent to say the least! Absolutely golden quality! Crystal-clear eye-popping colours, immersive, vivid and detailed scenes, and last but not least epic, engaging and exceptionally masterful soundscape. It completely and undoubtedly outruns any previous bluray movie! I forgot about the cinema 3d factor, because this bluray darkens it out completely. They weren't kidding when said they'd put a-6-weeks time into the bluray production just to make sure the visuals and sound were on top of the world. Great work!

I downloaded the CBGB release to hold me over until a proper one shows up, still looks damn amazing but I did catch some compression artifacts here and there (most noticeable was banding here and there).
hopefully it's the north american bluray rip as well, since that release has the real hardcoded subs (terrible font or not).

If you want highest quality first and lowest download size second, try the "SHiTSoNy" version. They keep the original video stream uncompressed and remove any extras and lossless audio.

Blu-ray MoviesAccording to Deadline Hollywood's Nikki Finke, quoting sources from 20th Century Fox, the Blu-ray edition of Avatar has sold 1.5 million units in the US and Canada during its first-day and has thus "blown away" the record for first-day Blu-ray sales, until now held by The Dark Knight, which had sold 600,000 units in December 9, 2008. |

Only 8 Mbits.. I'm definitely waiting for one above 10. This movie deserves as much. |
The AMIABLE release looks spectacular, no need for any 15gb+ release.

Indeed. I watched the amiable release yesterday on my 37" 100hz 1080p lcd tv and it looked perfect.
Didn't notice any issues whatsoever, it was perfectly clear and sharp at all times with no problems even when there's lots of movement on the screen.

I have a 8GB 720p release. No way that a 1080p release which has 100+% more pixel information and is just ~25% bigger in size, looks as nice and crisp and shows no signs of compression! Don't forget that this is a 2,5 hours movie. 10GB is not enough. Even if you state that it looks good in motion, just stop from time to time, I BET there are artifacts but you just don't care enough. But that is another thing. If you go to WBB you'll find tons of people who download 720p releases with 500MB to 2GB and think that the quality is great...

Currently, HDB encoders estimate ~17-19GB from test encodes.
People just have no clue what they are seeing. Not only artifacts, but most of the fine details are just removed in the process, resulting perhaps in a "sharp" image (i.e. you clearly see the hard edges), but fine detail is just smoothed to nonexistence.

it's 12gb, and yes of course there's always someone who finds faults. most people will not notice anything though.
I don't exactly see the point in going out of my way and pausing and shit to actually try and find things that don't look good. it's the same as with people going crazy over console games looking better on one console than another and go on to say that if you do that and pause at exactly this point you'll see that the edges on that tree back there are actually not as smooth as the ones in the other version.
who the fuck cares? lol
except the hardcore enthusiasts anyway who apparently really do try their best to find any small issue in existence.
so whereas you say that I don't care enough, I'd say that you care too much.
and if you really do care this much then you shouldn't bother with anything that's reencoded and just go for the original!

It's hundreds of folders in hundreds of folders. It's the untouched blu-ray. However, i tried playing the movie using Arcsoft Total Media Theatre 3 Platinum and it fired up all menus.

I think PowerDVD can also open filesystem, no? 
Just to make sure, human_steel, was the "ountouched" bluray ripped with DVDFab or AnyDVD? Because with DVDFab, the menu is broken...

TMT Platinum has a simple open-disc-folder option which i couldn't find when using powerdvd. MPC also has such an option - Open Directory/Open DVD.
As for the ripping part - i don't know. But since the menus work perfectly with TMT i don't think it's DVDFab.
And that's the rls i'm using - Avatar.2009.1080p.Blu-ray.EUR.AVC.DTS-HD.MA5.1-HDTeam.

Ok a friend also had that release. Go and get imgburn, choose "Create image from folder/files" > Source> browse for folders> choose the folder in "Avatar.2009.1080p.Blu-ray.EUR.AVC.DTS-HD.MA5.1-HDTeam" as far as i remember its just 1 with 2 sub-folders. > choose destination i.e. d:/ avatar.iso > then click on the icon. Wait 30min, then the image file should be finished. After that mount it with daemon tools. And it should work fine. Which os do you use ?
