Just found this sub. Wow it is a gold mine. Filling in gaps in old shows that I could not find in torrents. Thanks a lot guys.
I know how you feel. It's great.

I know right! Same with me at the first time found this sub. Its more than a gold mine.
Can sidebar be updated with new "exe files" posting rule, think some people who missed big discussion thread post without knowing about new rule as it is not mentioned anywhere in sidebar. Thanks!

So I have the Pro Lite account, the $6 a month account. It says I have 1Tb transfer quota. But it blocks me after 7gbs? It says 1% used and blocks me saying it I've met my transfer quota. The whole reason I bought the damn non free version was to avoid this shit. Wtf?
I don't know how this can be. Are you downloading using Megasync? Make sure that you're signed in with your pro-lite account as that seems the only possible reason you've a limited daily-transfer quota. Hope this helps.

Just for the sake of comparison....
I think netflex streams at around 5000 kbps but amazon does 8000 kbps.Which is why AMZN web downloads are so highly prized.
[-] simplefilmreviews | 1 points
Oh those are pretty legit numbers (especially Amazon).
I would think so but I don't know much about US tv.I try to keep away from US hdtv because of the watermarks & other distracting crap all over the screen.I think some US networks,the ones that play a lot of sports,broadcast in 720p because of the 60 fps of 720p against the 30fps of 1080i.

I feel ya. I figured they half assed it and put out low bitrates for their HD content! (Plus like you said, it's maddening they cut not only for content (graphic, etc), but simply for time! Cut out scenes just to fit in a time frame. Ridiculous))

For my personal collection I have recorded Netflix streams. This bit of info may change that practice. Do you know what Hulu broadcasts at? Also, while I personally record streams with PlayOn, am I behind the times or is this generally how people get web downloads?
I don't know what Hulu streams at but they don't seem to have a very good rep,just going on some of the comments I have seen here.If you right click on a file in Windows 10 & choose properties/details it often tells you what the audio & video bitrate is.

The problem with contest mode in the requests thread is we can no longer sort by "new".We will have to trawl through hundreds of requests to find the latest ones.I'm all for something that helps with the bot down voting but this just makes life difficult.
What's contest mode?
"this thread is in contest mode - contest mode randomizes comment sorting, hides scores, and collapses replies by default"That is what it says on the request thread.

What software would one use to encode a x264 film to x265? Bit of a noob here...
Handbrake is a commonly used one
[-] Lyfultruth | 3 points
What preparation/settings would be recommended for this purpose with Handbrake? I have some movies that are much larger than I'd like, but I'd like to keep all the subtitle options and audio options.
Honestly, the presets work pretty well for standard use. I'd do a test run with the various speeds for a single movie, and find one you like that gives you the size and quality you are looking at. (for most of the old stuff I've done, I just did a fast or Very fast since they are old enough the quality won't really noticably drop).
[-] KeptSayingTryAnother | 1 points
Can you (or someone) eli5 x264 and x265? What are they and the difference between them?
[-] Hirsute_Kong | 1 points
H.264 and H.265 are video codecs. H.264 has been around a long time, since the early 2000's. H.265 came out as a replacement, or rather an extension of capability, around 2013. H.264 is widely supported and is the standard codec used in blu-ray (I don't know if this extends to the 4K discs). Therefore, many components out there support the ability to decode H.264. H.265 is suppose to be able to compress a video even more than H.264 without a loss in quality while using the same bitrate. There's various opinions out there about H.265 though.
The important thing to know is what codecs your video equipment can decode (as well as supported audio codecs for playback and passthrough). If you can't decode H.265 then don't bother with it unless you want the computer serving up the files to transcode everything to H.264.
[-] KrangyKrangles | 1 points
Super simplistic, x265 is the updated version of x265.
More in depth - As of recently, x265 will almost always be better quality at equal bitrates to x264, especially with animation.
Some older hardware can't handle 265. I've got a few 5-year+ computers that handle it just fine, but if you've got a low-end Roku from a few years ago or something, you might have issues.
x265 isn't magic or anything, but it's a good tool for the job. It's especially stunning what it can do with more simple animation. I've got 200ish mb Futurama and Adventure Time files that look nearly as good (without pixel-peeping) as rips 5x the size. Live action is a lot less impressive, but still decent.
All of that said, AV1 (I believe that's what it's called) is slated to be released soon and it's supposed to be better than 265 at the expense of encoding time. Since it's an open format, it'll be adopted by hardware more quickly, but it's still going to take a while before it's a "norm" like 264/265.
[-] KrangyKrangles | 1 points
Handbrake is the best for quality, but it can take from a while to "for freaking ever" depending on what kind of CPU you have.
StaxRip is far, far, FAR faster, because it can leverage your GPU, but it doesn't reach the same compression or quality.
Damn this "achievement" system sucks. How can they advertise "50GBs free storage" when more than half will be deleted in a month?
Is there a way (or can there be) to sort the request thread by filled requests? Some stuff pops up there that I didn't know I wanted.
Hello, I have a suggestion to this subreddit..Why we don't use eMule-Network with this subreddit , so if anyone have downloaded a file can just put it in the "shared files" and it will last forever for others to download ,even if the filehoster link was gone... of course the mod would make a thread that will organize the network (it wont even need this).i think its a great idea....after all no DMCA can takedown the files from our computers.
And then you'll have the problem associated with torrents. Namely no one willing to share and waste bandwidth, only "seeder" not available, low download speeds
+AabidS10 with this hundreds of "hits" i see trust me there will always be sources also low download speeds is better than "a dead link" ...eMule is different to torrent ..in torrent its hard to re-seed . in eMule just put the downloaded files in the "shared files" and your good to go...

Remove the sync folder from MegaSync. You don't really need to have a sync folder setup since you can manually select files to upload.
to anyone who want that new trump book, here's an excerpt to pass the time until it releases: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/01/michael-wolff-fire-and-fury-book-donald-trump.html
One of the drives I use to temporarily store files has failed, is there a way I can recover the files.
Using dskmgmnt it says it's not initialized but fails to initialize it.
Drive makes some noise when connected , but doesn't show a drive in my computer
Any help is appreciated
[-] KrangyKrangles | 2 points
You can try bringing it into Linux and seeing if it'll see it and let you copy the files off quickly. Also, if Photorec can see it, it might be able to pull some files.
That said, hard drives tend to fail catastrophically in my experience, so don't get your hopes up. Same shit happened to me a few years ago and luckily I had backups of most of my important stuff.
Thanks for the help, there's nothing particularly important on that drive, but still a hastle since there was no back up.
[-] KrangyKrangles | 2 points
No problem, hopefully something I said can help you out. You can also look into making a Linux rescue disk/usb. They usually have all sorts of tools on them. Good luck.
I found DBZ on Blu Ray. Waiting to get them all downloaded before I risk losing my source and being left with an incomplete collection. Better than the orange bricks, which appear to be what the popular link is. Only episodes, can't find movies, but it appears that the blu ray movies are in that link.
This is the comparison between the two: https://youtu.be/XQBl3YeOVUQ

dhd encode? dragon box? doesn't matter where you're getting it, but rather what you're getting
[-] TRUMP2016BUILDWALL | 1 points
which encode is best? I see DHD is posted on this sub @ around 43gb
[-] doot_doot_doot_doo | 1 points
i think that's a real subjective question. there's the DHD (or is it DBNL I've lost track) from the funi BR, there's the dragon box r2 sets (non HD i believe), there's the encodes that have the Faulconer theme, there's the Ocean dub versions and I'm sure countless others.
All depends on what you're after. Want BR 1080p rips, i think DHD is your answer (or the cleo x265 1080p version). Want nostalgia? I think you'd be after ocean dubs along and/or some of the dubs with faulconer score
Again, super subjective just on the content, before even looking at video/rip quality

Yep, forced me to set up a plex server lol. Which is actually quite good as it can play x265.

Was the Mega limit lifted temporarily or something? Some days since the new year it's felt like I've been able to download 20 gigs of content without tripping limits.
Did Mega lower the free account capacity? I uploaded a rip overnight and this morning there's a notice that I'm over my limit. When I went to the account the limit is now 15GB with an offer to unlock more space if I use 'services'. My uploaded file is gone. Is this old news and I'm just late finding out or what?
I just checked a couple of my accounts & one of them says 92% of 50 gb & the other 12% of 50gb so nothing seems to have changed.
Weird. I hope whatever's happened to mine isn't a sign of things to come.
Indeed.It would not be good.
Do the achievments even work? i donwloaded the APP and the sync and they haven't popped up
