I think we will see more devices like the WD TV in the future. http://www.wdc.com/en/products/WDTV/ It takes less space than a HTPC in the living room, plays all the important formats (AVI, MKV, MP4, H.264, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, Xvid, MP3 etc.), is as easy to use as a DVD player but doesn't require DVDs....

Broseph, broseph, broseph, you are only partial right. Standard DVD resolution for NTSC is 720 (or 704) by 480. PAL is 720 (or 704) by 576. I'm aware of PAL since I happen to live in the country where PAL was developed (duh!). But it's irrelevant here because Japan, South Korea and Taiwan don't use...

Is there a reason some groups have switched over to using MKV? Its hard to convert to an avi to burn on a DVD. File size and download speed are the most obvious reasons. But there are more: Standard DVD resolution is 704x480. AVI does not support anamorphic video. That's why all the "standard ...

Nah it is not really as bad as you think. Take a look at JTV, Massuki, TimeLesSub and others HD encodes at 500-600MB sizes. It looks much better than the SD ones, fast action scenes are rare in Dramas, for such small files they look spectacular :). And the bitrate on HD TV broadcasts is not particu...

lol we ought to stop using torrents eventually. We should start paying for the service at sites like megaupload and have people upload the videos to it. We can then download at full blast, d/l speed at 500kb/s or so. But for now, I don't mind having patience to get these high quality videos. Who's ...

That is exactly why many people will stick to 480p or 396p, even if their computers are fast enough to play back high definition video.

How much should be cropped from a 1.66:1 anamorphic DVD. These puzzle me because they have black borders on all sides. Just crop the borders and ignore the display aspect ratio. As long as you don't scale the image, the pixel aspect ratio remains constant. There are only four pixel aspect ratios de...

The point is, as long as our SD hardsubs get downloaded in larger numbers than the HD ones, we will continue releasing SD hardsubs. As long as people seem to prefer DramaCrazy streams over multi-gigabyte monster torrents, we will make our encodes smaller, not larger. It's really that simple. What th...

People are not easy to change (even when the change is for the better), so it is our job as encoders to make them change.

Of course, but the people on 2ch were probably viewing at not from a television stand point, but from a " I'm watching this on my computer so I don't care I want it bigger ". Which is understandable, because I look at it from that aspect too. The only reason I would want 396p is if I was ...

- 704 is the new 320, thus should be scrapped 704x396 has never been a standard but a workaround due to limitations of the AVI container. 704x480 (aka 480p) is DVD quality and will be around for a long time because many people think it's just fine. - 1080i .ts raw uploads are desired 1080i sucks be...

All you need, in one package, for all platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac, BSD). Subtitle renderers, video filters, audio filters, codecs. Free and open source. Currently all Querbeet hardsubs are made with this program.

If not, assuming the 28 peers only have 14 pieces and each has a 50 up speed, then there will be extra pressure on the seed from at the veyr least 14 peers since half of them have nothing to upload but need to download...

eye

Whether there are 2 or 27 or 270 peers doesn't make a difference. The average download speed for each peer will be the sum of all upload speeds divided by the number of downloaders. For example, if each peer uploads at 50 KB/s, everyone will download at 50 KB/s too. The number of peers is irrelevant.

H264 takes quite a lot of CPU. For some reason people tend to confuse H.264 with HD ("high definition"). Of course both are completely unrelated. Even YouTube has started using H.264. The decoder has been in Shockwave Flash for more than a year. Playback of standard resolution H.264 video...

Avi is constant bitrate, which means number of pixels that can hold quality is limited, while RMVB is variable, which means pixels can change the numbers in any form they want, unless you limit it (then it will be limited).

I do, however, think there are Japanophiles (probably mostly male, but there are females as well) who live with their heads in the clouds with their racist opinions on Japanese people - that they are not the majority, I know.
