TV Shows Pack June 01 PLUS H264

*** 2-pass encoding for PC, PS3 or Xbox . *** *** Video is H264; audio is AAC LC and container is MP4. *** "Home" of my torrents (for Bookmark/Favorites in your browser) http://thepiratebay.se/user/twentyforty It's Better to burn out, than to fade away "I am disillusioned enough to know that no man's opinion on any subject is worth a damn unless backed up with enough genuine information to make him really know what he's talking about." - HP Lovecraft "When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best - that is inspiration." - R Bresson Requests (or re-seed requests) should be posted in [COMMENTS] section of newest torrents. Re-seed request should contain exact time and time-zone you're in. Re-seed time-window is 1 (maybe 2) hours because server-time is expensive and seeding speed is above 1 Gbps. If you have slow connection, just forget about old, dead torrents. Re-seed chances are good for single torrents within the week of original day of upping. Chances for re-seed of torrents older than week are slim to none. "Out of schedule" shows or pilot-episodes may get uploaded randomly, if circumstances allow (i.e. free slots open up). Do NOT bother requesting easily available titles. If I haven't encoded something new and current - I have my reasons for that. Do NOT request movies which have IMDB score lower than 4.4. Do NOT request inclusion of TV shows in my schedule; that's my call. The removal of some show depends on many factors, however, be sure that shows would be dropped if I spot lack of interest, hungry hard-fisting crowd or too high a number of Hit and Runs. These decisions are my own. My "regulars" can reach me at [email protected] /* */ (put your TPB screen-name in subject-line of e-mail). NOTE: [lepton] family = frame-size 368-624 width x -2 (depends on AR) pixels, 16:9 or 2.35:1 aspect ratio ONLY for PC/PS3/Xbox/standalone mp4 capable players. NOT Handhelds/iPod/PSP/Zune/clones compatible file, however, some portables accept these format (TIP: upgrade firmware). WATCH from 6-8 ft. distance at low-res settings of display. Free physics lesson: quarks are leptons. 272p = frame-size 480x272 pixels, 16:9 aspect ratio, playable on all kinds of MP4 capable devices/players/playback systems 352p = frame-size 624x352(272) pixels, 16:9(2.35:1) aspect ratio, playback ONLY on PC/PS3/Xbox/standalone mp4 capable players. NOT Handhelds/iPod/QuickTime/PSP/Zune/clones compatible file, unless file is made iPod 5.5 and newer, iTouch or Nokia compatible. It's "crossbreed" then with now abandoned 360p (TIP: upgrade firmware). NOTE: Cheap LCD displays doesn't like this format. 480p = frame-size 704x400 pixels for 16:9 aspect ratio (TV) or 704x304(320) for 2.35:1 (movies/theatrical AR) NOT Handhelds/iPod/QuickTime/PSP/Zune/clones compatible file. 720p = for 16:9 aspect ratio (TV and movies) frame-size is 640p or 1120x640 (because of my own limit of 1400 MB per encode) or 1216x528-544 pixels for 2.35:1 (movies/theatrical AR), hardware intensive NOT Handhelds/iPod/QuickTime/PSP/Zune/clones compatible file. Official 1280x720 frame-size is - simple - and - plain - WRONG. 90% of encodes follow that wrong "standard" for years, what leads to unimaginable volume of "squashed" objects and people. Look any circular, well known object, not people, because human eyes can easily be tricked. Look at examples 1280x720 http://bayimg.com/PaEOfaADH and my 1216x720 (I go even as "low" as 704 pixels, if needed. http://bayimg.com/pAEoHaadh Use own eyes, please. NAMING RULE: name.source.year/season/episode.frame-format.encoding-type Most problems people have are with frame-sizes 1280x720 (720p). I recommend and have used one system for years - CoreAVC for H264 http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/5910023/ ("Deblocking" set to "Standard") and part of DivX7-8 for AAC - AAC DirectShow filter. Both are proved perfect, fastest and provide seamless playback up to 1080p on new generation of computers. Newer NVIDIA graphic cards processors (GPU) decode H264 using dedicated subroutines directly served from CoreAVC (I have an ATI card, just in case you were wondering). New DivX8 is maybe 18% slower than Core AVC and very common, and in order to use DivX8 H264 and AAC DS filters outside DivX7 or 8 player (as in Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic), Haali spliter must be installed. Beware, however, that video quality could be very much degraded on encodings where extremely low bit-rates have been used. TIP: Switch back and forth between Core AVC and DivX H264 DS filters by marking and un-marking Core AVC "Preferred decoder" setting. Problems one can have may come from either one of the following and-or a combination of these: the playback system itself, a malfunctioning device or lack of knowledge. For instance, any so called "jerky" playback of "system-heavy" 720p comes from insufficient CPU and graphic engine power or simply - overloaded computer. Use of ddshow filters and "codecs" is suicidal. This is not Russian 720p Matroska format ("official" 720p) and completely different setup is required (extremely high bit-rates of .mkv 720p to some extent "hide" bad encoding style). In low bit-rate H264, such as mine, those errors and bad technique cannot be hidden and therefore are avoided as much as possible. Any "blurriness" of video comes from less-than-recommended media player. VLC and a few other players are the most versatile and, generally speaking, good - but quality is 10-20% lower. Any "blockiness" comes from "system-too-slow" situation, when decoding engine of ones device become over-capacitated and cannot process all frames as it supposed to. On "I have no video" and "I have no sound" "It looks bad on my new 40" LCD mum just bought me" I don't waste my time as this is generally a complete lack of knowledge and/or understanding. RTFM is the best response I can give. MP4 is absolutely ISO 14496-1 compliant. There are no B-frames, no CABAC entropy in 272p and 352p [ipod.5.5.itouch.N97], no strange filtering and no AV weirdness of any kind. Recommended resolution for computers is 1024x768 (no matter frame-size). If you watch on HighDef TV or new HighRes monitor - take a proper watching distance - 6 to 8 ft. (It's a must then, I KNOW how ugly it looks with nose in front of screen). LCD panels, especially cheap and affordable ones "hate" low bit-rate encodes. I have two monitors connected and same encode looks ugly on LG LED LCD but looks fantastic on normal CRT Samsung one. So, move your bottoms few feet back - or download GB big encodes. PS3 + HDMI cable + newer TV have been reported as best combination. I am very proud on sound quality and hence I recommend use of stereo system and proper loudspeakers (connect Line Out of Soundcard or standalones with Line In of any Stereo rack). IMPORTANT: My encodes are NOT smallest ones. My encodes are NOT the best. My encodes are more of constant quality - 100s share same quality, when other encoders, searching for some holy grail - make 5 good then 1 ugly encode or similar. I don't. If you do NOT like it - click away, it's easy. And remember - nobody forces you, and ...it's free. ************************************************************************************ You meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet.

Also, stay AWAY from newly upped torrents, still in the phase of initial-seeding IF you have upload speed below 50kB/s and CANNOT or WILL NOT set UL/DL speeds at 1:1. Wait until at LEAST five (5) stable seeds are present. If you have a problem with my initial-seeding rule then go elsewhere to source your files. You have been warned, my torrents therefore my rules.

Pilot episode Franklin.and.Bash.S01E01 was watched, but show would NOT be followed (known actors, pretty girls, wacky lawyers, empty script, contemporary jokes but totally nonfunctional). Bad.

sadhu19 (2011-06-02)

@twentyforty,
thanx a lot mate for game of thrones episode 4,5 now i have them all and i am really enjoying this show.

abj642 (2011-06-02)

thanks 20-40 for all your efforts(scooby doo and michael clayton-almost got it from some one else)

Fangular (2011-06-02)

Heh.. love the review of' Franklin & Bash', 2040.. very concise, yet very informative - thanks for that!

spiritualiste (2011-06-02)

Thanks a lot for your constant unique piece-of-art shares...+1...
Special thanks for Men of a Certain Age and Looney Tunes...
Live Long and Prosper...
Spirit...
NOTE: could someone seed Smiley Face 720p please...(720p only)

ThaGoatMan (2011-06-02)

Thanks for doing Scooby Doo. Watching that show takes me back in time.

formerly_azrielle (2011-06-02)

RE: Franklin & Bash
Agree it was pretty corny and cheesy.
Hawthorne series is much better, though it generally has too much soap opera-like tension to make it truly enjoyable. Will probably avoid as well.

 twentyforty (2011-06-02)

Thanks.
@tylr: Both MC and Breach are new encodes - one day "old".
@spritualiste: Unbelievable! I deleted it from server - last night I hit ratio 100 and decided that Hit&Runs fucked that one too long enough.

 twentyforty (2011-06-02)

@jamydoug: You requested "Withnail and I" 1987. as 720p. I got BluRay yesterday night. It's really ugly one - it doesn't deserve 720p and burning 1.37 GIGA at all. Please, call me back...

spiritualiste (2011-06-02)

@Twentyforty
Well, you are definitely patient...thanks a lot...
: )

himansu_007 (2011-06-02)

@spritualiste
seeding only 720p of smiley face
now @256kbps try 2 dl before tomorrow morning

jamydoug (2011-06-02)

@twentyforty : sir, i am worried abt it :( !! but i leave it to u sir.. u upload it in a size n quality which u think wil suit the movie.. but one req sir (not in 352p) pls!!

 TPBAgri (2011-06-02)

@twentyforty
I've been thinking of caching twenty forty encodes and provide direct download links when needed.
Thus problems can be avoided.
What say?

snair1591 (2011-06-02)

thanks alot for Breach,Michael Clayton and Too big to fail.cheers. :)

 twentyforty (2011-06-02)

@jamydoug: LOL no! It would be one step smaller - 576p, OK. You've seen how many heat I took because of BL, but some BluRays are simply visually so badly produced (contrary to opinions of newcomers) that bigger format can give nothing in return - just take your money (trough traffic you would pay one way or another).
Guys who have downloaded B a r r y L 8 GB and my 1 GB encode in all fairness must admit that mine is not 800% uglier (that would be utter rubbish to claim).
Also - doing some title upon request does imply few thing and let put it nicely, because I am sick of arguing, you not have been quite up to the task and responsibility.
Don't get me wrong - but I always put my opinions on first place and decide what and how would I do something.
352p is NOT bad or ugly choice - but it is simply a format that doesn't suits your playback system.
You can get nice start in text above, use Google and go from there.
Saying "please, do not make 352p" sounds wrong and act like kick in the balls of guys who need two days for download of single 352p.
I repeat - you don't like it - but you can afford bigger one. Most people can't - and are ready to take small trade-of in quality (especially on 15-17" CRT display) and you should have some empathy for them.

 TPBAgri (2011-06-02)

@twentyforty
First of all, just received Glory & red riding hood trilogy...
Awesome quality thanks...
Second, there is not much difference between any encodes as long as quality is constant and enough bitrate
The only difference between 352p and 720p
is 352p is smooth and 720p is sharp.
But if said that the bluray sucks then it is not necessary to have it in 720p.
Withnail and I is a 108 min film,
Now the ball is in twentyforty's court...
Whether he could make an exception and make a low sized 720p rip...as the source is not well off it won't matter.

DMVIN (2011-06-02)

thanks for too big to fail

jamydoug (2011-06-02)

@twentyforty : am absolutely sorry sir!! din mean anything disrepectfully u or anybody!! was just my tht..
anyway thanks again for d movie n req ur forgiveness.. for my harsh words abt quality ...:(

soap69 (2011-06-02)

Swheet +1 for looney tunes show. . .

 twentyforty (2011-06-02)

@DownTYU: Ultimately, it comes down to bytes per pixels. As resizer I use 64-tap spline - better one is not invented and probably wont be - even Avisynth developers still ask around for someone who can explain how it works. Details are not lost - if bytes per pixels value is high enough (they cannot go anywhere, LOL) - but - bigger frame-sizes better correspond with someone's playback system and ultimately - vision of the person who watch.
On less than year old prevalent displays (both TV and comp. monitor) with sizes up to 19 inches, there is no difference between two frame-sizes IF the same value for bytes per pixels is used in encoding.
Situation has changed dramatically last 14 months, when LCD displays achieved massive production and affordable pricing.
Are they better? Good? They are more practical, smaller, consume less power - but better in terms of video quality, even LED backlighted ones? Answer is simple No, not yet. It may hurt people, but that is the truth.
You got 40" LCD not long ago and I have Toshiba 42" most expensive LCD money can buy ten feet away (in living room, where I doesn't go at all). As computer displays I run 23.5" LED LCD from LG and Samsung 17" CRT and I can switch them through Belkin switch). I MUST have them both, to verify encodes in different "environments" and I can say and repeat again - LCD suck balls - it is big, thin, nice looking - but that's it.
Point being - encodes look better on CRT one, period. All troubles low-bit-rate encodes have, by nature - are exaggerated by technological immaturity of LCD. Banding, pixelazations in flat areas, et.c...

 twentyforty (2011-06-03)

@DownTYU:
"I've been thinking of caching twenty forty encodes and provide direct download links when needed."
Direct download links are out of the question. Only possibility I even encouraged is to make torrents and use PUBLIC tracker site for uploading.
I wont become BoB or million of so called "uploaders" to file-hosting services (Wupload, Filesonic, Fileserve and many many others) because they pay to uploaders 25 - 50 dollars per 1000 downloads.
I could be very very rich man by now - but I would not sell "my soul to devil".
Public tracker sites and torrents are true last standing bastion of true file sharing.
I see every day on Forums how sheep keep saying "Thanks for sharing" to uploaders to RapidShare or wherever... and it makes me sick...
Sharing? No - these guys upload Scene or P2P group's encodes and MAKE money - they provide service, a profitable one. Out there are so called "uploaders" who proudly speak about up to 1700 USD profit per month. Yes, they have expenses - but - they are covered, at the end.
I ask for respect only. And less harsh approach. I really do best I can, whoever thinks otherwise - can go someplace else and at least, leave me alone with my friends.
I don't need popularity, I ask for respect.

 TPBAgri (2011-06-03)

@twentyforty
Thats so true.
Any vid worked as a charm in CRTs.
But nowdays its like a trend to buy LCDs.
Here in my city you will have look through rock to water before you find anyone selling CRT monitors.

spiritualiste (2011-06-03)

@Twentyforty
@himansu_007 and other seeders...
Thank you for Smiley 720p...it's done for me...
: )

 TPBAgri (2011-06-03)

@spritualiste
now Plz seed it coz I'm downloading :)

 TPBAgri (2011-06-03)

@twentyforty
OK!!! No direct, only P2P...you're the king

 twentyforty (2011-06-03)

@himansu_007 and other seeders: Thanks. We are small community, but we help each-other.

 twentyforty (2011-06-03)

@tylr: It's not strange, back then it was 272p for Handhelds, and today is 352p. Beside that - I don't have 272p anymore, it's gone and I cannot up something I don't have. LOL

spiritualiste (2011-06-03)

@DownTYU
Of course i am seeding it now that it's done...
and i am seeding other 20-40 encodes/uploads too
cause a new month begins with a new limit...
: )

 TPBAgri (2011-06-03)

@spiritualiste
Thanks for seeding
@future leecher
These are cached ...If nothing bad Will be available till next month

Ask at comment if seeding is needed

believenu (2011-06-03)

thank you, seeding is sharing. Saturday morning cartoons are going to be fun this week. someone children are getting a present from their uncle Twentyforty.
