please, stop with the mp4/mkv's already. only costs the user more time to reencode to divx format to we
can actually watch these again. subtitles files (srt, sub) doesn't work with vobsub codec on mp4 files with
windows media center. so, please, don't do that or at least make a mkv file.
i now get most of my avi downloads from http://thepiratebay.se since eztv started to just supply mp4.
mkv is ok for something that i want to download in hd for everything else sd avi is all i need for
compatibility.
yep, totally agree, eztv, please pay attention to these complaints. we are downloading elsewhere,
and why would we bother? because the format just doesnt play correctly on a lot of machines.
particularly laptops with onboard video cards
this has nothing to do with eztv. most groups are doing mp4's now and eztv is probably releasing
whatever's available first. instead of whining why don't you just get what you can from here and the
rest from other sites without making any noise?
1996 -- dvd movies
2001 -- xvid
2003 -- h.264 (x264)
2006 -- blu-ray
2012 -- "the scene" adopts h.264 (x264)
xvid vs. h264, old tech vs. new tech.
.wav vs. mp3. old tech vs. new tech.
older tech usually last about 10 years.
stop bitching and whining about xvid vs. h.264 (x264) and avi vs. mp4 and mkv.
you can't put your vhs tape in a dvd player or your 8-track audio cartridge in a cassette player. nor
can you put your 12" vinyl alubm in your cd player. time and technology change...get used to it.
grow up and realize that the world does not stop advancing just for you. spend $50 on a stand-alone
network/wifi/usb player for your tv. or take your free torrents, your free time, and free apps to
convert files to whatever format you choose. fyi: $50 divided by 10 years = $5 per year, or 42 cents
per month. with a $100 stand-alone product you're still only spending 83 cents per month. that's less
than a cup of coffee or a can of red bull.
eventually all scene releases, and most non-scene release, will be h.264/x264...until another new
tech comes along in ten years.
