it ran smoothly for me. played it in vlc player. as usual, the sound effects where way too loud in comparision to the sound. but other then that, the encode is great. |

if the audio is like the first couple ripped by fov, it is strangely muted, the interesting thing is if you get the pdtv river rips, the audio is louder, and you get less variation between the background music and dialogue. on the downside river seems to use a lesser bit rate on sound, so slightly better pic but only around 113kbs audio compared to 128 or so on the hdtv rips. i'd say it's down to the source, maybe, when you watch the hr rip of episode one, it's not as bad, but still there... |

the hdtv encodes have ac3 5.1 audio as source and so this has to be converted to 2 channels. maybe not enough emphasis is being given to the center channel, however it's strange that it isn't an issue for most people. |

.. and the more emphasis given to center (voice) channel, the less seperation there will be between the left and right channels. i'm sure people would complain about that too. |

this show is aired in high def, 720p with 5.1 ac3 audio. downsampling to stereo will affect the dialogue if you ask me. when watching this show in hd, with a good 5.1 speakerset, there is no problem at all. you might wanna try boosting the voice channel within the ac3filter settings? great show! where the hell are the 720p's lately on this site!? come on eztv .. don't loose yourself! |

at least for the two first episodes the sound volume was out of balance. did not notice anything at this one. first two had to watch with hand on volume control as you can barely hear the talking but the post edited title music is playd with full volume. |

yes i noticed this(since i always watch torchwood at night and with a headset). thankfully there aren't a lot of sound effects in torchwood, so i just lower the volume a little when you can tell there's going to be a "in your face!" moment with the effects. tried fixing it in settings, but i grew tired of it when i didn't find a solution. |

i tend to get the madmartha rips of torchwood and dr who. always spectacular rips, never had a problem with them. (look for the torrents with [mm] at the end). usually awesome speeds too, even on my crappy connection. |

the volume is the same on both releases, fov and mm. i too noticed the low volume in previous episodes, but it doesn't bother me. to those interested: great show; a/v sinc and encoding are ok. |

since my dvd player for my tv plays avi, mpg, divx, mp4 i use my surround sound system to compensate the low audio levels for the dialog. just turn up the center speaker volume (it handles the dialog/voice) and turn down the the main volume (rt left and rear speakers) until the dialog/voice is louder than the music and sfx. |

yeah actually to update, the first two episodes were way out of balance between music and dialogue etc, i also had a hand on the volume control for those, but this rip was fine, balance was good, perfect rip. and as for the suggestion to get hr rips, nice in theory, but the release/seed groups have let us down there this year, so far even though the scene released hr rips, you can only find a hr of the first episode, and that was done by a person and not any site or group. actually it's been weird for releases lately, you see like 4 release versions on some stuff, and barely one for others, i suppose it's popularity based, but it sucks if you won't touch dsr's, or just want a hr of something like this. |

i loved season one, but the first episode sucked balls, literally and figuratively. is the writing getting any better? |

there are more writers now, better chance for more unique episodes. this one was best so far, but i am still expecting much more. |
