Why are uploader only posting in x265 now ? ^^^karma ^^^farming ^^^? I can understand that it takes less space but for the quality we get in most of these hevc files it not worth the hassle and i'd rather go watch these movies on streaming sites. When one download a movie it's not to delete it after, it's mostly to build a library and keep it. It may take some time to download but at least you have high quality file and not a blurry video. As for disk space, well, not everyone is a /r/DataHoarder but still, buy some disks and boom... more space ! In the future there will be better formats than x265 with better quality/space, just be patient :D
Yeah I understand what you mean. I personally would also prefer good(!) 265 content over 264 (at least when we are talking series), but a big portion of the 265 content posted here is overly compressed, with a bitrate around 1000kbits or less which leads to many artifacts.
I don't like how people think that 265 can do some magic and make videos so small without a quality loss.
Many 1080 265 posts look worse than an good 720 encode.
I really hope this changes some day ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Most of the x265 encodes I see are above 2500kb/s, going up to 7000kb/s for 1080p, at which point it's more than enough bandwidth for 1080p x265.
Yes I totally agree with you that most movies are totally fine, but most series are not that great (apart from animes, they don't need much bandwidth to look good). But around 5gb for a whole Season with 10-15 episodes in 1080p x265 isn't encoded with a bitrate with 2000kb/s or above.
But I am not complaining, every post is greatly appreciated and if I don't like it I simply don't download it. Soory when my message came out wrong.
I understand all the debate about quality, but really I think most people on this sub prefer x265 because they're looking for smaller file sizes, which is crucial for a file host that implements a download quota.
It's that simple. Folks can usually get 2 x265 movies for the size of an x264 movie, and I think that matters more to people here.

I uploaded more than a Tb of high quality (~20mbps) H.264 files on this subreddit, except i didn't uploaded movies one by one but in bulk or in collections. The only movies i haven't uploaded are the ones recently uploaded here in H.264 (from a month or so). I'd be glad to upload more but i ran out of content to upload :D
You're downloading the wrong x265 files if you think it's blurry. x265 is a much better codec than x264. And really? Arguing to wait for better technology to come along? What's the point of ever upgrading anything then? Something better is always just around the corner.
[-] trashcluster | 3 points
If blurays discs are still using H.264 codec over x265 it's for a reason, at high bitrates no codecs perform better than H.264, it's when you start to lower bitrate than x265 begins to shine and by far outperform H.264. Still, image quality is much better on a 20Mbps H.264 than a 3Mbps x265 movie 'which are the most common bitrates). As said previously x265 is good enough for someone who can't use streaming sites because of internet speeds or for people with datacaps. As for me and many other people who are looking for high quality files and won't be bothered by the size H.264 is the
Blu-ray discs are still using h264 and x264 for compatibility reasons. You can't force x265 hardware decoding into a blu-ray player from 2006. The format needs to be standardized to work on all blu-ray players made since inception. However, what you failed to mention is that ALL 4K BluRay encoding is done in x265 because of its extreme efficiency, especially at larger resolutions. x265 has more motion vectors than x264, meaning it's the more accurate encoder. There's simply no reason to waste so much wasted data when there's a better alternative out there that's already been standardized into 4K BluRay players.
I'm not calling for people to abandon x264, but there is a better alternative out there. I post x265 because I've been collecting it for years, since not everyone has the money or the desk space or outlets to accomodate a new hard drive every month.
[-] trashcluster | 3 points
You're totally right, except people expect a 2.5Mbps x265 encode to match a 20Mbps x264 one which will never be the case. One more thing to keep in mind is also the cpu usage on media servers, a x265 1080p movie take much longer to start and stutter more than x264 files. An alternative would be the AV1 codec which is announced for the end of this year.
On this sub i can see 2 kind of persons who browse it : Someone looking for a movie to watch on his laptop with his girlfriend on the couch, and someone looking to complete his movie collection who will keep it for years. As for uploaders they seem to neglict the second one. Lately this sub is flooded by x265 encodes and it's nearly impossible to browse properly.
Lately this sub is flooded by x265 encodes and it's nearly impossible to browse properly.
You say that, but browsing back through the newest posts, it's about 50/50 x264/x265. There's no shortage of x264 content at all.
As for the different types of people who browse the subreddit, you aren't really correct about that one either. Plenty of people have come to me saying they could finally upgrade their crappy copy of a movie with an x265 copy. People who want small filesizes are also people who keep movies. There is definitely an overlap.
As far as x265 playback is concerned, it's only an issue if you don't have a recent machine. I myself experience no issues at all playing even 4K x265 HDR video on my computer. x265 is a lot more mature than AV1, it's been worked on since 2012. I'm not going to bet on AV1 just yet.
Speaking only for myself, I'm going for the higher quality and lower file sizes of x265, plus I hope I'm somewhat futureproofing my work. What little feedback I've gotten says that people prefer files under 5GB, so I try to land as close to that as I can while keeping the quality up. If you're not a fan of sub-2GB rips then you're probably annoyed by the way they've been flooding megalinks. The only thing you can do is Hide the people who post them (and hope they don't post anything you want).
Megalinks is the wrong place to karma farm. I'd get more upvotes from posting Obama's vacation pictures to The_Donald than I get posting submissions here.

Youre right. It seems some are going up more slow than before. After a week when some weren't showing I started to think they were abandoned. I am starting to see more show up again. It looks like itunes has largely been replaced with amzon ones there.

Some that I thought were gone are starting to show up. It seems to be more days delayed than previously though, at least on rarbg. I had thought fox cartoons were abandoned, but they started to show up recently.
Modern FAmily seems to be done with itunes and only amzon now. Unless I really love the show, itunes bitrate was usually good enough. If amzone is the only source, that's what I'll take though. Not complaing, it was just nice when both were available
Once Upon a Time seems to only be webrips now and they're it's >3gb.
Mindy Project I can only find TBS webrip, but those have looked good on that show, but just stereo. Many TBS (scene group?) ones I saw had the rating at the beginning like on tv, not typically in web releases and no 5.1 audio. Some also didn't look too good. I was curious what was changing. If groups changed or something.

So Jdownloader is fantastic. Quick question though;
If you have a segment that says "Retry in 15 minutes" is there anyway to make it try again now, rather than waiting?
I've tried 'force download' but that doesn't appear to work.

Does anyone know anything about starting a p2p site and generating revenue off link ads? Mainly, how much a popular site like that would bring in?
Is there any sort of interest in 1:1 Untouched blu-rays and remuxes or is it mostly just small encodes.
Just checking so I don't waste my time if nobody wants them.
I definitely have an interest in those types of files, but I'm disappointed to see that most people who upload remuxes don't bother uploading them anywhere other than MEGA which means you basically need to buy a subscription if you're intending to download it.
I would love some remuxes of popular movies. Unfortunately I don't see much 4k remuxes.

dl.free.fr
Hey I'm trying to figure how to upload w/ FTP to this. As best as I can translate this w/ google, I don't need an account to upload, right? I'm trying
curl -T myfile -u email:password ftp://dl.free.fr
It fails with
Access denied: 530
Have you been successful?
I think an account is required. Here, it says something about requiring a password to upload
[-] douhaveanygreypoupon | 1 points
I just tried using your command and it worked okay. You need to use a password when attempting to upload via ftp:
The password to use is at your convenience, up to 20 characters. It will however be preserved the time of an "session" of upload corresponding to a delay of 48 hours after your last connection.
curl -T filename -u [email protected]:12345 ftp://dl.free.fr
There are some other scripts available here and here which can supposedly pick out the download link.
So I checked it out and got so lost. I'm sure I need an account, but the farthest I got was a subscription(?) to their services in order to upload? Plus, website looks bad, found a few dead links and looks pretty outdated

So i have over 1300 movies according to plex and i just noticed plex didn't show all my duplicates ,is there any program that i can add both hard drives to like plex and it will show all duplicates ?
Or do i really have to go through all 1300 movies manually?
You can try to scan both directories using: https://www.freefilesync.org/
But this is more for backing up/mirroring two storage locations. So if you have two files with the same name then it'll let you know if one is bigger/smaller than the other and the date it was made/created.
Other than that...I'd probably do it by hand with two Explorer windows open and just go down the list real quick.

Using jDownloader,
If I try and download a file bigger than the bandwidth limit (~6 GB in my experience), it simply won't start the download at all, and gives the message "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded".
As I understand it, shouldn't it start the download and when the limit is reached, stop downloading until the limit resets? I can download other, smaller files fine, and I've waited over 48 hours with the same problem, so the limit definitely hasn't been reached.
Is there a fix for this or will I have to download using some other method?

You can also switch over to a tool called MegaDownloader, though I heard that doesn't support folders. Download the big single files with that, and folders with JD, I reckon.
