The Amazing Race S11E01 PROPER PDTV XviD-2HD

i really dislike this proper - it's actually worse quality than the nuked version!

seriously people, why does the scene still hold on to this ancient 350/700mb
standard?!

the amazing race, and many other fast-motion programmes (especially reality-tv,
in 29.97fps instead of 23.98) really needs the video-bandwidth.

it took the mp3-scene years to change from 192kbit cbr stereo to a vbr
joint-stereo format (which all the other 'lamers' had found out years ago,
sounded much better).

please let the tv and film scene also be smart and get with the times.
if there have to be size-restrictions, at least encode using dvd-r sizes as a
guide. that would make this release just about right :d

i agree. the ones capturing and creating the files are usually the technical
ones that know there stuff. the sizes should be an even multiable of burnable
disks. in my case, none due just saving it on the hard drive, watching it, then
erasing after seeding it quiet a while and getting at least 2:1 ratio.

i do like the fact that there are more releases in hireshd that make it really
watchable just like over the air broadcast.

my only other complaint about the scene is they strip out the commercials.
leaving them in makes it legal in a few more countries and can show the
producers a legil viable distribution alternative. but i think that will never
happen because there are too many "pirates" out there that just want it for free
without fair compensation.

screw the nuke, getting the better first release.
