leather boots, tight jeans, no bathing, no feminine hygiene products ... i don't even want to imagine what
that smells like.

why is it 620mb for one episode? i don't understand how every episode this season has been roughly 43
minutes long, yet they range from 269mb (episode 6) to this one of 620mb. a small difference is
understandable, but more than double the size for the same amount of time??

if your question is genuine, and not a thinly veiled complaint, here is a brief explanation:

it is normal for the walking dead x264 video files to be up to twice the size of other shows of the
same length, and for the size to vary greatly from episode to episode. the walking dead is filmed
on 16mm, rather than 35mm, to give the show a grainy grittier look and feel. maintaining the
grainy detail of the film (and other aspects) requires less compression, and less compression
equals larger file sizes.

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).

crf guide (constant rate factor).

well, that was surprisingly bad episode. technical quality is ok. about the size... one would need
detailed technical info about each file in order to explain the size differences. my guess it's just
the differences in the encoding methods used, and this time around the choices were worse. perhaps
the encoder (the person) was experimenting. there may have even been an inexperienced person doing
the capping. technically it's possible to bloat 5 minutes of pitch black darkness up to untold
gigabytes.

i agree, bad episode, the story telling of it could have been done in 15 minutes.
it's the first time i fast forward on twd !
anyways, thx for the up and i'm sure next one will be better.

i thought it was a good episode, @billy: you can't rush scenes that are meant to convey an emotion and
that was the point,
SPOILER ALERT - (highlight to read)
that is why they showed us derrell and blondie struggling with the mental aspect of survival and
glenn and maggie both trying to hang on to hope of finding each-other because that is all that keeps them
going now.
i didn't except tyreece to be stuck with 2 kids, especially psycho-girl, although i guess that is the only way
he would welcome carrol back, i thought the episode was very well acted
