Lost S03E16 720p HDTV x264-CTU

if anyone missed it, that guy at the begining did say "not" after the size comment.

i definitely prefer 720p quality over stand alone compatibility. its worth
dragging a media pc to a projector for high quality.
even if i only had a stdv i would still get the hr for the 5.1 audio.

the 720p version looks way better than all the others formats. what a
difference when viewed on a good large screen flat panel. thank you for
uploading these. thank you and thank you again. bravo!!

i'm a retard.

kinda makes you wonder why they still do 350mb episodes, they look dire these days.

the orejni versions of bsg were compelete rubbish

because many people don't need the high quality, they just want to see the show.
many people don't have hd tvs, so they'd just waste hard drive space, bandwidth
and time downloading the bigger versions. then there's the problem with the big
versions not playing on many stand-alone dvd players.
i hope no one stops making the smaller versions! i myself watch the episode once
and delete it then anyway (i just download it because the country where i live
is like a year behind on the show, plus everything is aired dubbed which i
hate). i honestly don't need superhigh quality versions for that.

one reason is ftp credits for the groups, another is the huge popularity,
another is the 20-30min pre time. (watching lost at 9:40pm est vs 3am-ish for
this file), and finally being able to play on divx dvd players.
also a lot of shows like bsg (and others labeled dsr and pdtv) can not be this
quality because dsr = sd source, pdtv = ed source (enhanced def, 720x480). those
bsg rips are as good as you could get for that show at the time until the hdtv
rips come out from the uk. i checked out a few dsr's for bsg on a sdtv and they
looked the same as if i watched it on directv (usa digital satellite provider,
dsr most of the time = digital satellite rip).

also like others said, if your going to watch it on a sdtv with a
composite/s-video hook up then who wants to download a 1.07gb file (especially
with private trackers that have ratio/credit count) when the 350mb looks the
same on that tv.

argentina, don't worry this site has no influence on the scene and those rips
wont stop coming.

i feel quite ignorant: why is it not possible to have the good quality in an
.avi file that could be read on standalone dvd players (and on my media box
connected to the tv)?
anyway, thank you so much for all these shows. they can be seen only with french
voices here, not that i would not understand, it's just not as good !

ethan_gooner: nag, nag, nag....why don't yopu take your crap elsewhere. there
are three rips to choose from...how about a thank you, jerk?

why are there always really rude and idiotic people like you making stupid
comments on these sights? **ck of!

if you have ac3filter (http://ac3filter.net) and still can't get sound:

1. you need the directshow filter (ac3file) if your player uses directshow
(e.g., windows media player) - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?
group_id=66022

2. make sure your ac3filter settings are correct (spdif is checked/unchecked
on the main tab if you are/aren't using digital-out to a receiver, and your
matrix settings on the mixer tab are configured properly depending on your
setup).

nickele, most stand alone players have a max resolution of 720x480 so even in an
avi your out of luck.
x264 works best in the mkv container.

just drag a computer a to the tv/projector like the other 720p x264/.ts and
1080i/p .ts users do and be happy you get to at least have 720p.

besides, in 720p we get all these great shots of freckles.

amen :d

freedom89, what software are you using to purn the mkv file to a dvd? and im
guessing it doesnt lose quality when u encode..?

thanks for the explanations death734 🙂 i'm just gonna stick with the hr file
for now. enjoy the show
