Does this count as a release? In 1080p on Youtube, and with English subtitles!

If someone can download and share it into Emule?

I'd searched for this film a few years ago, it didn't even have a page here! It's one I thought was too old/obscure to ever appear if it's not appeared yet!
If the girls face looks kinda familiar she was Bruce Willis girlfriend in Pulp Fiction. But she was about 15 when this film was made.

Oh - another thing while Youtube uses a low qality encode setting, at 1080p the picture is pretty good. Also, the Youtube version is uncensored.

I remember Maria and am interested in this, thanks!

No, a film is not a RELease until someone shares a working ed2k link. I moved it to REQuests.

Looks interesting. Thanks for finding!

Although the age of Maria seems to be on the edge for FLM.

Maria turned 16 only three weeks before this movie released so she was no older than 15 during filming. I have a better version I was going to post, if I couldn't find the original DVD. It beats the YouTube version. I'll put it up for anyone who wants it.

Like this post to see ed2k links [1.79 Gb]

Well done for finding a better version! Youtube's one came to about 1.3gb, so 1.79gb should be an improvement!

Thanks deadman! I also had two other versions of this that I was considering posting at some point. The best one I have only seems to be about as good as the youtube version, though it is not upscaled. The movie looks really interesting, and I didn't miss the watery scene this time. Still haven't watched all of it yet though.

I was confused by this because the YouTube is 1080p and deadman's is 576p. But I looked closely at deadman's "lower resolution" file and it is clearly "higher detail". The YouTube is a little fuzzy, so it must be an upscale.

I don't for a moment believe that a larger size file necessarily means better quality, nor do I think that higher resolution is necessarily better quality either; but here a higher video bitrate clearly means better quality.

Thanks!

Yeah it all depends on what the actual source was and then the encoding settings. I could re-encode a 720x404 XviD AVI Video to 1920x1080 at a very high Bitrate and try to „fool“ people that I just shared a FullHD version.

Regarding YouTube: they are famous for their low Bitrate (who can blame them with the millions of videos they’re hosting) - if I remember correctly the YouTube tech channel „LinusTechTips (LTT)“ specifically shoots and uploads their content in 4K so that the 1080p of their videos will look better than if they uploaded native 1080p because if you Upload 1080p youtube encoding lowers the quality a lot

Might give this a watch (important stuff starts at minute 09:00) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDsJJRNXjYI

It's that 4k at Youtube's low data rate will look a lot better than 1080p at low data rate - and most TV's will detect you have a 4k compatible tv.
The worst data rate I've seen is on music video channels in 576p in Europe in the 1990-2010 era - maybe now stilll. The data rate was awful given how fast music videos cut between scenes, and how sharp the picture was! Probably about 500kb/second when it needed 1500kb/second to look ok.
