What language? With or without irritating commentators?
2008-08-10 12:59 CET by bonker99 (thepiratebay.org)
It's the same NBC/USA source as the Orenji release but apparently with less (not none!) advert breaks and has a runtime of 4hrs 12mins (still 18 mins short IMO) instead of the 3.5 hours of the Orenji release. So yes, the annoying commentators are still there ... I'm still hopeful of someone getting real with this and putting out either the CBC HD or BBC HD broadcast ....

Thanks for letting me know that. I'll stop this download and wait for a real (non-NBC) HD release.

Correction - the .nfo with this release clearly implies that it's from the same NBC broadcast but in fact it is not. This is an Australian broadcast from Channel 7. Picture quality is ok but the bitrate (IMO) is too low at 3000kbps - someone needs to do this properly at 8GB .......

f*****g NBC!

Damn I love the Olympic Games.

It is now available for rent from Netflix on 2 DVDs. Not worth the effort to DL these torrents when I can just get it in the mail in a couple days. I may come back and post what version it is after I get it. Good luck all!

Ok so I got the discs from Netflix. Unfortunately disk 1 was cracked so I will have to wait to see it. More unfortunately it is the NBC version with the "hosts" running their mouths incessantly believing that their commentary is needed every single second of the show. Worse yet, there is no other sound track to the video. Bummer :-( And they wonder why people would want to rip it and put it on the torrents. Huh! Go figure!

Synopsis: The most anticipated event of 2008. Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Ceremony! Enjoy Proper Notes: ORENJi's release was cut short at 3:28. It seems NBC decided to speed up through the teams parade and missed some scenes and other footage. Here is our release which goes for 4:12 and rarely switching to any breaks. video codec ° x264 (MKV Container) video bitrate ° 3098 kbps frame rate ° 25 fps audio bitrate ° 384 kbps audio format ° AC3 I assume this means it's still taken from the NBC source then and with a slightly lower bitrate than the Orenji release - still hopefully the ad breaks are less intrusive ... This is welcome but I'd still love to see the CBC HD or BBC HD version in full ...

what's the version? NBC?

"This is welcome but I'd still love to see the CBC HD or BBC HD version in full ..." I doubt you will be able to see any CBC HD release because they have flagged all their channels "copy once" meaning that us with PCs cant copy them. If i could have capped it i would have put it out there @ Discovery Atlas quality ( just search on this site and look at the Technical specs for the HD versions) . If the flags change to "copy freely" by accident (which they do sometimes) maybe I can get the closing ceremony for you guys.

@hukumuzuku You can make a full 720p or even 1080i/p copy if you have a digital TV tunner which has hardware 720p or 1080i/p encoding. I'm also waiting for a realese without the teams parade on full HIGH DEF.

I think it's same as CCTV live version...
Aug 11 2008 at 09:35 by vastspace1 (mininova.org)
Best should be Australian version! From what I heard, this should be the best "English" commentary version, the Australian TV version. Picture and sound quality of this media? I don't know yet! "People's opinion" as what I have heard: USA: NBC - ****s because commercial insertion shortcuts the magnificent show performance Canada: CBC - Technologically inhibits/hinders HDTV ripping. Britain: BBC - Commentator makes/expresses biased comments/view points, which somehow ruins the spectacular show.

Jesus, why does this website censor "****s" with the asterisk, * I have to type "Sux" to substitute

Aug 11 2008 at 17:12 by WhitGer (mininova.org)
I stop downloading CCTV version. What is the best version ??
Aug 12 2008 at 13:24 by Neely_rulz (mininova.org)
First what's so bad bout CCTV? And second, i live in Australia, and loved it, I've seen snippets of the others and is no way near the aussie broadcast standard. I haven't downloaded this yet, but its first on my list for downloading.

Also, expect alright quality, as it is a .mkv file .mkv files have excellent compression and this about the same as a 8 GB .avi file though .mkv files can only be played by VLC Player at this time

"""Also, expect alright quality, as it is a .mkv file .mkv files have excellent compression and this about the same as a 8 GB .avi file though .mkv files can only be played by VLC Player at this time""" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- do not listen to this guys .mkv is just a container file like avi it has nothing to with the codec. the codec is h.264 btw

jul644, #17, says "do not listen to this guys .mkv is just a container file like avi it has nothing to with the codec. the codec is h.264 btw" Yeah, people, I agree with #17! You can play .mkv with many types of media player softwares. You just need the right "Splitter". I have K-lite codec pack installed and with Haali Media Splitter activated and am using WMP to play back files that have video encoding method of H.264 which uses .mkv as container format. However, I would like to inform you all that this type of files consume SO MUCH computing power such to cause periodic freezing during my playing back. I also tried VLC media player. VLC also consumes a lot CPU power. Therefore, my conclusion is that this type of files seem to consume so much computing power in general probably because of its highly elaborate compression method which needs a very fast CPU to decode the data message!

this is the australian version, good quality with no commercials and the full ceremony from beginning to end with few cuts. thankfully this capture is also lacking the annoying political bull**** commentary plaguing the american and uk broadcasts, and the stupid ugly broadcaster faces dancing on the video feed like the french version. best capture yet, thanks 100,000x!

Thanks for your job. Merci pour votre travail. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// i use Gom player, simple, fast, and a very small part of your system memory and like vlc, all the codecs was inside it j'utilise Gom player, simple, rapide, et juste une petite partie de votre memoire systeme et comme vlc, inclut tous les codecs /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Plz, keep in seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed Svp, restez en soooooooooooooooource

Decent quality HDTV capture of Australia\'s Channel 7\'s broadcast of the Beijing \'08 Opening Ceremony. I'm glad to hear that it doesn't have the political bellyaching of the BBC commentators, and includes material that NBC left out. At a bitrate of ~3100kbps for a 720p video, the visual quality suffers noticeably, but it\'s still pretty watchable and is probably the best bet short of a transport stream...until someone gets an 8GB+ encode out, anyway. TV captures at 720p need 4-5000kbps at minimum to look good, honestly. Higher would be even better (or denoise a bit to improve compressibility).

Help!!!! I just finish downloaded this torrent, with the file name Olympic.Games.Opening.Ceremony.Beijing.2008.PROPER.720p.HDTV.x264-PiX How can I open this file? What do I need to download to view this file? Please help >.<
Aug 20 2008 at 23:13 by vmmnsa (mininova.org)
Perfect! Thats the best opening video! The image is very good. The only problem is that it isn't 5.1, it's 2 channels only....
Aug 25 2008 at 01:02 by hazzad (mininova.org)
As far as i was aware none of the olympics, opening, events or closing was not broadcast in 5.1. Only 2 channle stereo. Many HD network simply output the audio in Dolby Digital 2.0. which i would assume is what this is as Channel 7 HD did broadcast all of the olympics on HD in DD 2.0.

Is there a 'making of' for the Opening ceremony?
