Talk Shows Pack 2010 04 16(Craig Maher) H264[quark]

EXPERIMENTAL, just to demonstrate now small file-size could be. DO NOT download if you watch on high resolution TV or monitors. NOT for handhelds or phones, just computers. Playable in VLC, WMP and MPC with CoreCodec and DivX 7 AAC DShow filter, mplayer, KMplayer and of course, in QuckTime Player. However, picture is better than 90% of CAMs and definitely watchable. Goal was "preview" quality, not the ultimate one - what is self-evident from redicolously small file-size. Trade-offs must be included. And please, do not watch it with a nose in the screen, take proper distance to the monitor or TV (as advised in TV manuals). For example; when I finish encoding, I always check out the file, do short preview, rewinding back and forth. It usualy looks ugly - but - then I move back and sit on the sofa, 6 feet away - and everything looks as it should. Nice and watchable, like on older, analog TV set. WARNING: a) If you are from developed countries, have download speed above 15 KB/s, think twice what are you doing. b) If you download [quark] to test your "equipment" forget about it, on first sign of "malfunctioning" or "misdoings" of any kind I will block you. (if you change IP number, I will block your ISP, your region, your country and even whole continent. So, think thrice what are you doing. Internet IS Big place and you can go anywhere else, true? No one force you to download my torrents, right? c) If you have FAST connection, HELP the people by downloading - however NOT as you've done elsewhere, but by KEEPING your UPLOAD SPEED at MAX. Any other behavior will be treated appropriately. d) When you finished downloading [quark] STAY TO SEED. Anyone who can download - CAN UPLOAD too. Ones who cannot - only because they are poor - are excluded. Ones who are not poor, I beg you to show two things: solidarity and perpetual goodness. PLEASE, think about the ones who have Internet but cannot afford download of big files. Every day I have 10% of my peers on dial-up and ancient hardware who need whole day to download a "normal" sized 350MB. Please, I beg you for understanding of my work, let them through and if you can - help them by downloading and seeding afterward as long as you can. These people have slow download and it helps them a lot (please, be generous - on such file having ratio 10.7:1 is like 1:1 on normal-sized XviD).. Example for the ones looking more on ratio numbers, than real and "generated" traffic (ones who need to save - skip this, its just an example): >>XviD's downloading 350MB: giving back 350MB equals 700MB (1:1 ratio) >>[quark]'s is ~60MB + 11 times 60 = 660 MB equals 720MB (well... 20 MB "more") So, people who can give more, should not be focused on plain ratio-number too much - in "world" of [quarks] many things are different. Thank you. ******************************EXAMPLE************************************* > ....... at 2010-04-15 22:59 CET: thanks, i'll be seeding for the rest of the day, but my upload speed sucks and won't make a big difference. >....... at 2010-04-16 06:09 CET: P.S. I am having a problem understanding 'RATIOS'in relation to seeding. I use uTorrent 2.x and it uses percentages for ratio of seeding. >>>twentyforty at 2010-04-16 06:56 CET: Ratios are irrelevant guys. They are "numbers" that mean something just - to you. If someone pays, pays by the traffic (megabytes, gigabytes) not by the ratio, right? The point I was trying to make was just: If you want... and can - seed - do not look at the ratio. File is mostly in range 20 - 70 MB. To seed few FILES back to the people, doesn't look too costly. And it doesn't looks complicated to understand too Unfortunately, that's why [quark] torrent dies within 6 hours. Many little hands together can move the mountain. For instance, most downloaded [quark] is "The Vampire Diaries" - 1147 times. Could you imagine that ALL people stayed to seed - at 1kB/s? Just that. At least for a while. I do understand the problem of daily nature of the daily talk shows pack (shelf-life is built-in), but - for sake of god - not to stay on two-three seeders within few hours. **************** MANY LITTLE HANDS TOGETHER CAN MOVE THE MOUNTAIN *************** Content: Craig.Ferguson.2010.04.16.Willie.Nelson.and.Ellie.Kemper.H264[quark].mp4 Real.Time.With.Bill.Maher.2010.04.16.H264[quark].mp4 Overtime.2010.04.16.H264[quark].mp4 Major brand: ISO Base Media version 1 Compatible brands: JVT AVC Creation time: 16/04/2010 13:36:19 UTC Modification time: 16/04/2010 13:36:19 UTC Number of streams: 2 Type of stream nr. 1: audio (AAC Low complexity) {GPAC ISO Audio Handler} Type of stream nr. 2: video (avc1) {GPAC ISO Video Handler} Video Codec: avc1 Resolution: 352 x 192 Display aspect ratio: 341:192 = 1.776041 (~16:9) Bitrate: 167.67 kbps Audio Codec: AAC Low complexity Bitrate: 16.110460 kbps Channels: 1 Sample rate: 11025 Hz Download whole package or just ones you want.

thanks, i'm going to continue seeding this one and the rest i've downloaded for the rest of the week. Also, even though you say "NOT for handhelds or phones, just computers." it looks great on my ipod touch an doesn't need conversion.

Hi 20-40,
Thanks for the encode/upload.
I LOVE QUARK.
Cheers
Jon
P.S. I watch my quark(s) on 32" LCD via HDMI from PS3.
No conversion required.
Just start file as normal and [PAUSE] immediately.
Then open [OSD] and choose [Slow Advance].
A/V quality is about 8+ compared to a normal 20-40 file.
But the compression is unbelievable.
20-40 - You are Legend!

@All re: PS3 post please change [Slow Advance] to [Slow Forward].
Sorry
Jon

@TKOG13: It is good to learn, even if its technically impossible to say for ALL handhelds, even for majority of iPods. CABAC is used as entropy model, and by the book - iPod doesn't accept this. On contrary, PSP "hates" CAVLC (accepted by iPods) and "love" CABAC.
Also - sound. By the numbers no habdheld should accept AAC LC-SBR-PS (AAC Low Complexity with Spectral Band Replication and Parametric Stereo) but strictly AAC LS with 44.1 kHz sampling rate (here is 22,05).
Therefore, [quark]s are completely without iTunes bits/info (UUID needed by older firmwares).
So, feel lucky - 'cause - believe it or not - some people have problems with my all other encodings - which are... 110% compatible.
@Jon: Thank you, my friend.

@TKOG13: Sorry, a dawn "blindness":
AAC LS = AAC LC
habdheld = handheld (LOL)

Hey guys, I also know who are the "people" I'm dealing with.
