Out Of Town With Jack Hargreaves - 190mb Dvdrips

Anyone growing up in the UK in the 60's, 70's or 80's will remember the iconic nature series with Jack Hargreaves, puffing away on his pipe as he led us into the world of fishing, farming, hunting, horse riding and oher nature pursuits. This is a 27 episode summary of a series that ran for nearly 30 years, condensed from the best episodes of the tapes he bought from the TV company after the series ended. This is a re-encoded version of the series I previously uploaded which retains the video quality but reduces the file size and disk space required by 60%. The original rips were a ridiculous 490mb per file for episodes only 24 minutes in length because the ripper had used a bit rate of over 2500 when 1000 is more normal and ample for viewing quality. I've reduced it down to 190mb per episode. Also the original files had been encoded with different aspect ratios for some strange reason which I have also corrected.

OMG Thank you sooooooooooo much, I loved this show, used to watch it with my Dad, brings back so many great memories.

Given my limited bandwidth can I suggest people download this one ep at a time in number order because if you tick all 27 to start with and you get chunks at random it's going to take a long time for any of them to complete.

awesome, got the first episode down and the quality is great, Appleby Horse Fair, great start, can't wait to see the rest now. thanks Smokey9t9

Glad you're happy with the quality. Obviously even the original TV tape footage was a bit grainy as it was all taken with hand held cameras 40 or more years ago but I've tried to get a compromise between a sensible file size and resolution. This is my first attempt at editing video files and I think it's worked out not too badly.
There's a smidge more detail on the 490mb rips but nothing you'd ever really miss.

Please help me seed this folks. Not a single person of the 25 or so who finished this is still seeding it and I'm back to square one with all the new downloads. It'll take me 2 or 3 days solid to upload the whole thing from scratch again.
If you have to remove things from your list then pick the popular ones with lots of seeds already.

Thank you very much for this.
Good job with file size reduction and keeping quality.
Could use some seeds other than Smokey9t9.
I will leave this seeding for quite a whole after I get it done.
