Battlestar Galactica S04E08 720p HDTV x264-BiA

same here... i was downloading the sd version until i saw this version.. :-)

the last 720p rip from skyone only had 2.0 sound. can anyone confirm if this is the same or if there are
truly 5.1 channels of sound? cheers.

thanks very much
i love bsg so much i just gotta have the best version

anybody know a good, easy tool for converting these 25fps mkvs to 23.976? i
usually end up just slowing the playback to 96%, but i'd like a better solution.

i don't but just wondering why?

for those of you interested it has proper 5.1 sound but the picture suffers from the same quality issue as
the last skyone rip where the blacks are a bit grey.

i prefer to watch the episodes at the proper speed -- they're sped up by about
4% in the transition from ntsc to pal, which is why the episode is 41min instead
of the actual 43 (give or take a few seconds). most folks don't seem to notice,
but the high-pitched voices drive me bonkers.

i've found a method that contains several steps (and six different programs) to
accomplish the transcode, but so far i haven't found a way to do it that's
easier than just waiting 4 days for the scifi airing. especially when programs
like bsplayer allow you to slow the file down during playback.

in short, it's just a nitpick. this encode is definitely good enough; like
all skyone broadcasts it's a little over-compressed and washed out, and the
whole episode is just a little faster than it should be, which is what happens
when you turn a 23.976fps video into 25fps without adding extra frames. uk
viewers have been dealing with this for decades. i don't think they actually
even notice or care.

cheers 🙂

i don't know if it was posted alredy, but there will be no bsg in uk today ☹️
so we have to wait till friday...

can someone confirm this is 5.1 proper? i nabbed it with the exact same
filename via the usenet and it's a skyone stereo version *_*

i verified the file linked via mini-nova.. and it is the same as was posted to
the usenet.. and is stereo only not 5.1!!!

therefore the q is where is the copy with proper surround sound??

the aforementioned post:




also this was broadcast on scifi as well.. and last time i checked both scifi
and skyone broadcast in 5.1+ if the source has it. bsg i'm quite sure was shot
using 5.1.. therefore the 2.0 in this rip has to either be a fuckup by the
capper or by the broadcaster.

argh... system didn't like my c&p apparently.
