i have a request-- when posting a "proper", could eztv make a note here as to why the proper was needed? it would help us decide whether it's worth it to dl the proper, if we dl'd the original release. does anyone know why this one was needed? thanks! |

yes, links to nfos would be nice. in this case, the lmao release is missing the very last bit, where the person voted out talks to the camera. this amounts to about 10 seconds and is not important, so it's not worth a dl. i expected the proper was going to be for the size: there's no way an hdtv x264 vid that's about an hour (not counting commercials) should be anywhere near 800mb. |

as for size, the proper is 803 mb, so... pretty much rules that out. if they cut off the very end on the original one, then it makes sense they'd release a proper. although i agree with you, it's not worth my re-downloading it. thanks for the info! |

@r0nin -- torrents are added to eztv through automated processes. automatically adding a note to a nuked torrent, or the successor torrent, is not going to happen (imo). it is up to us. generally, if i'm not sleeping or away when a proper is posted, i will do the research and post the information that i find. btw, i have no special connections for reearching the information, it is available to everyone...i just happen to take the time to find it and share it  ...which i enjoy doing, most of the time.@rseiler -- eztv won't be posting links to nfo files. we must find them ourselves and share what we find. re: file size file size is no longer the focus and is no longer set/fixed at 350 mb for a 42 min show, using xvid/avi. the focus is on quality...using x264/mp4 (or mkv) and a specific crf setting (crf constant rate factor). in most cases the resulting file size is quite a bit smaller than the previouisly used xvid/avi 350 mb standard, but not always. file size is tied to the complexity of the source material (i.e. still vs. moving, grainy vs solid, number of colors, etc.), and how much compression can be applied to any given frame and still maintain the fixed quality setting (crf). if you're still curious and want to learn more... crf guide (constant rate factor). http://pastebin.com/bjyeveai  the sd x264 tv releasing standards 2012. http://scenerules.irc.gs/n.html?id=2012_sdtvx264u1.nfo and a handful of other general resources... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/video_codec http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/xvid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/x264 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/h.264/mpeg-4_avc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/display_resolution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bit_rate#video |

thanks, boonesferry. i wish i knew how to research the reason for propers on my own; i'd be happy to post my findings if i did. i've noticed that you're putting in a lot of time here lately-- thanks for all your efforts! |
