Thanks so much for uploading the UK version. Could you by any chance upload the sequel series, Smiley's People? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiley%27s_People_(miniseries)

Although both are in 6 parts, I believe there is again a difference between the UK and US versions.

[-] tiiiiimmmm | 5 points | Nov 13 2017 17:06:47

I'm looking into this, may be a few weeks though before I can actually upload. I'm checking out a number of sources I've found to see what's best/actually available.

Awesome, thanks!

Thanks so much for the heads up! I have a question though: so the copies of Tinker Tailor I have are (I believe) the ones you posted, and they're 25 fps. I have a previous version of the UK Smiley's People, that I got from this subreddit, that is also 25 fps. However, the one in that link that you posted is 29.97 fps.

I have a rudimentary understanding of PAL speedup, but which of these is "correct"? Or what are the motivations for each?

[-] tiiiiimmmm | 1 points | Dec 12 2017 00:57:13

So the show was produced in the UK which uses the PAL standard which refreshes at 50 fps (really 50 hz because PAL and NTSC are systems for transmitting and decoding analog electrical video signals into the actual image) so the officially produced ones refresh at either 25 fps (like the copies you mention) or 50 fps (like the copy i found online). My equipment is NTSC which refreshes at 60 fps so if I play a 25 of 50 fps video it has to try and figure out which frames to leave in and for how long on the fly so the video plays at the correct speed which can cause some slight stuttering. Because of that, when I re-encoded these I chose to drop the frame rate down to 29.97 fps (the standard for NTSC for historical reasons that have to do with the speed at which actual film was played at) as the video encoder is much better at frame interpolation that the tv is. This works well with the 50 fps video because there are more frames than needed for the speed I wanted, I just set the fps in Handbrake and enabled detelecining.

[-] taboosaknoodle | 1 points | Dec 14 2017 02:18:22

Okay, so the 29.97 fps one doesn't eliminate the speedup, but it does eliminate any stuttering caused by playing the 25/50 fps on equipment with the 60 fps refresh rate?

[-] tiiiiimmmm | 1 points | Dec 14 2017 15:22:32

Yes, except neither should be sped up. You only see that speed difference when TV broadcasters try to run things that were shot at ~30 fps at 25 fps in the same amount of time it took to play originally. Since they are not re-interpolating frames to run at a lower frame rate everything gets sped up to account for the fact that the video should get progressively further and further behind (by an additional 5 frames every second).

Thanks for the encode man.

(...but your obfuscation is getting ridiculously out of control. Did your #TrasH!-obfuscated links really all get taken down already? This is so ridiculous it's almost comical. smh...but to each his own...)

I just want to make sure someone will have to put in some work making a specific bot to pull down content. I rotate the key-phrase periodically and now have thrown in some garbage in the descriptor so a bot can't just search for the same text every time or text that appears in the description.

[-] Wordsarescary | 1 points | Nov 17 2017 21:14:13

You're a great uploader, thanks for doing what you do

[-] bpfn | 1 points | Nov 13 2017 14:22:23

Thanks! This is the UK version, not the previously-posted, edited-for-US version. I was waiting for this :)

[-] tiiiiimmmm | 1 points | Nov 13 2017 14:28:04

Yeah, I just made a note of that in the description, was really tired when I threw these things up last night and forgot to do it then. I'm keeping my eyes out for an HD copy but I'm not sure the full version was ever released in HD but this is by far the cleanest SD copy I have come across.

Enjoy!

So this is the better version?

I downloaded the previously posted one, but hadn't watched it yet
