[TV][PACK] 30 Rock COMPLETE S01-S07 1080p WEB-DL x265 [73.4 GB] | Megalinks MegaDB [TV][PACK] 30 Rock COMPLETE S01-S07 1080p WEB-DL x265 [73.4 GB]

This is a personal re-encode I made of TrollHD's huge 30 Rock release (each season was well over 30 GB). Took me a while to download it all, took me even longer to re-encode it, and then it took a bit of work to upload it all to MEGA.

Original episode sizes were around 1.5 GB (for a 23 minute episode lul), which I reduced to around half that, and sometimes more. Most episodes are less than 800 MB, with a majority being around 400-600 MB, and the "hour long" episodes being a bit over 1 GB.

Everything was re-encoded using Handbrake at 20 RF veryfast settings. I previewed a bunch of episodes, there is no artifacting (that I found), and everything looks crisp as hell.

I uploaded it straight from my own Plex library folder, so everything is good to go in that regard.
I also included the Season 0 folder with the West Coast versions of the live show episodes - S05E04 + S06E19 (these are 720p sourced from two different places because they were not included in the TrollHD release).

I had to split the upload across 2 different MEGA accounts because the "transfer" function isn't working anymore.

Without further ado, here are the downloads:

(decode everything using this)

(replace whatever is after https:// and before .nz with "mega")

(remove the word BALLZ from the middle of the key)

P.S. Transfer this onto your own accounts, as you never know when it may get taken down.

Thanks for sharing! Clearly you put a tremendous amount of work into this and it's greatly appreciated. My favorite comedy of all time!

[-] Senorbubbz | 6 points | Nov 14 2017 08:54:58

Thank you for your kind words :-)

I felt I needed to give back to the sub, and this is the best way I could think of!

No where else will you find a release like this, this is a r/megalinks EXCLUSIVE !!

Thanks for the upload, how is the quality?

[-] Senorbubbz | 4 points | Nov 14 2017 07:04:48

In my humble opinion, it is excellent.
I just finished re-uploading one of the Season 0 episodes because the original upload was the wrong aspect ratio.

Everything should be right as rain now.

If anyone else wants to download an episode or two in order to comment on the quality, go ahead.

Here is a screen cap from a random episode (S05E09 00:14:26)

Before I say anything, good on you for putting this much time into making something, I can't imagine a lot of people would dedicate that much compute time to this.

Here's some comparisons: 1, 2, 3

I tried to pick scenes so you would have the best "fighting chance" against the source, i.e. low motion scenes. In high-motion you would see even more pronounced differences. It's actually not too bad in comparison, at least you didn't try to bit-starve these too hard like a lot of x265 groups.

The most noticeable thing to me is how much softer your encode is compared to the source. The show has a decent amount of grain for whatever reason and it's more ideal to preserve this than to soften and potentially lose fine edges. I'm not totally sure which tweaking abilities x265 got over x264, but the least that could be done is to drop the CRF to something like 18 and bump your preset up to slow at the very least so you can get better motion estimation algorithms in place. If you have to pick one or the other, dropping your preset will take more CPU time, upping your CRF will increase file size.

Note in comparison 2 yours appears to be a few frames ahead or behind of the reference (I am using the same TrollHD encodes as you did), meaning somewhere along your encoding process frames got dropped somehow, then regained later? as comparison 3 seems fine.

One last thing to consider is that the TrollHD releases are poorly tagged, these are actually re-encodes of the AMZN stream. Actual true WEB-DLs are more in the 2GB range for 1080p, making the whole series weigh in at around 287GB. So, you've gone from "source"->lossy->lossy which is not great at all. In the future it would be more advantageous to get a proper WEB-DL (I know it isn't available anywhere) or a Blu-ray rip if possible.

My personal recommendation to those who need to save space - grab a 720p H.264 WEB-DL instead. For 30 Rock it'll take up about 93GB.

[-] Senorbubbz | 3 points | Nov 14 2017 20:59:25

Wow, thank you for taking the time to help me with future encodes. I'll definitely re-read this a few more times and explore what I could have done better.

Honestly, I also had the 720p version that you mentioned, and it was fine, visually. I'm just a 1080p whore and felt the need to grab this series in that size.

I wonder if these frame drops affect audio-sync?

[-] KHymatim | 3 points | Nov 14 2017 07:06:38

Thanks for taking the time to reply. The screen cap looks good.

[-] Doomu5 | 2 points | Nov 18 2017 14:19:25

I personally think the quality is great.

[-] [deleted] | 2 points | Nov 14 2017 13:57:09

Thank you for quality encoding

[-] Ambroiseur | 2 points | Nov 14 2017 17:23:58

Does anyone have a subtitles pack for the TrollHD releases ?

[-] Senorbubbz | 2 points | Nov 14 2017 17:52:02

A quick google search didn't give me much. Seems you'll have to download them one-by-one from a website like opensubs.co

Sorry brev

[-] MessyGrape | 2 points | Nov 14 2017 19:17:34

You are an amazing human and I love you. Thank you OP!!

[-] Senorbubbz | 4 points | Nov 14 2017 19:22:18

I love you too, internet friend :-)

[-] kbverde | 2 points | Mar 29 2018 19:29:15

Great work, I have always wanted to see this show, seems like now is my chance. Thank you!

[-] CoryStarkiller | 1 points | Nov 14 2017 07:28:06

Season 5 Episode 4 had 2 different versions, 1 for the east coast, and 1 for the west coast. Are both included, if not which is included?

[-] Senorbubbz | 4 points | Nov 14 2017 07:33:46

Check the original post.

Both are included (took me hella long to find decent quality West Coast versions), for S05E04 and S06E19 (both were live shows).

The episode in the proper season folder is the East Coast version, whereas the episodes in the Season 0 folder are the West Coast versions.

Hope that clears everything up!

Edit - changed some things in the original post for clarity :-)

Oh SNAP thank you! My set is old h264 at 20gb for the series. This gives me a good excuse to rewatch:)

[-] ne0f | 1 points | Nov 14 2017 14:23:22

Thanks so much for this! I do have a question though: what is the number at the end of each filename? (after trollhd)

[-] Senorbubbz | 2 points | Nov 14 2017 17:02:09

Handbrake file-renaming convention. I was too lazy to rename everything lol

[-] wadhah | 1 points | Nov 14 2017 14:39:17

Thank you. You are doing the lord's work. Any plans on doing more x265 repacks?

[-] Senorbubbz | 2 points | Nov 14 2017 17:02:59

Probably not, but it's possible. I'll have to see what's taking up too much space on my HDD haha

[-] os10 | 1 points | Nov 14 2017 15:53:50

This kicks so much ass. Thanks man. This will replace my 480p set... soo much better. Thank you!!

[-] Senorbubbz | 5 points | Nov 14 2017 17:03:40

Jeez 480p D:

I did this for people like you haha

Enjoy

[-] RocketPoweredPope | 1 points | Nov 14 2017 17:31:16

Thanks for the upload! Does anyone know where I can find TrollHD's upload too? Space isn't an issue for me.

[-] Senorbubbz | 3 points | Nov 14 2017 17:50:02

The problem is, it's not well seeded. I was able to get Seasons 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 through public trackers/magnet links (took around a day and a half to download them all). Seasons 3 and 4 had shitty seeders, and I had to find them on Usenet (much faster download, took me roughly half an hour for each).

For the torrents, check BTDB for them. For Usenet, use binsearch and a free account from one of many usenet providers (make sure it has at least 1000+ days retention).

[-] adoreadore | 1 points | Nov 14 2017 21:03:41

Oh man... I have this on DVD, but I was wondering if it was available in HD. Thank you! Also, BALLZ

[-] Senorbubbz | 3 points | Nov 15 2017 00:23:50

The folder for seasons 5-7 seems empty for me; anyone else seeing this?

[-] Senorbubbz | 3 points | Nov 15 2017 03:34:30

I just checked, they're all still there. If you want, I can PM you the full link decrypted, if you're having trouble with it.

[-] ballsofcurry013 | 1 points | Nov 15 2017 14:22:41

Would be much appreciated, thank you!

[-] Senorbubbz | 1 points | Nov 15 2017 17:27:29

Done :-)

[-] spencerlevey | 1 points | Nov 17 2017 19:59:05

Can you PM to please

[-] ndg5800 | 1 points | Nov 15 2017 07:25:54

I'm ashamed to ask but, err, you wouldn't happen to have zippyshare links would you ?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] Senorbubbz | 2 points | Nov 15 2017 07:49:43

Haha nope, sorry bud.

I know how you feel tho, zippyshare is fast and doesn't have a bandwidth limit.

Hopefully the dude who runs snahp.it will do us the honor of uploading my re-encode to zippyshare and posting it on his site!

[-] ndg5800 | 1 points | Nov 15 2017 07:57:42

Thanks mate, I hope zee snaph.it dude does exactly that.

Cheers.

[-] yenmalone | 1 points | Nov 17 2017 00:42:12

The TVDB and Wikipedia show season 5 having 23 episodes. This folder contains 24 episodes. What is the extra file?

[-] Senorbubbz | 2 points | Nov 17 2017 01:54:54

Thanks for pointing that out. Looks like episode 5 is the other version of the live show. I hadn't realized since I basically downloaded the show and jumped into reencoding.

So... yeah. Sorry guys.

[-] Senorbubbz | 2 points | Nov 17 2017 02:01:13

To add on to this, Season 6 has the same problem. Starting with episode 6, which is a 2-parter. Episodes 18 and 19 are the two versions of the live show, while Episode 6 is the two parter, which is listed as episodes 6 and 7 on TVDB.

Hot damn what a Fuck-up on my part. If you're using this for plex, you'll have to manually change the file names.

There's a program called "Renamer" that you can use to do it all in one go.

[-] yenmalone | 1 points | Nov 17 2017 02:27:12

Thanks for the clarification and the upload.

[-] whywhywhyisthis | 1 points | Nov 27 2017 01:27:06

5-7 key not working?

[-] Senorbubbz | 1 points | Nov 27 2017 03:52:05

Still working. Make sure you follow the instructions, there are things to remove from the key (BALLZ around half way thru).

[-] whywhywhyisthis | 1 points | Nov 27 2017 04:11:12

didn'st see ballz in the second key

[-] Senorbubbz | 1 points | Nov 27 2017 05:57:50

Yep, it's in there, kind of hidden between some numbers.
