there are no spoilers in this post, i'm just talking about a
technical issue...
i've watched this 720p version, but i'll be downloading the 350mb xor releases
in the future.
why? because although the picture is fantastic, the sound is terrible. this is
true for many of the previous high definition releases with 5.1 audio, but
some of them have been fine. the audio is compressed too much (not related to
file compression or encoding) and it makes the music and sound effects the
same volume as people speaking. and because it's so squashed, the bass is
increased a lot which makes it difficult to make out what people are saying
sometimes. (the scene in the rain with jack and kate at the end is a good
example!)
yes, i am a fucking fussy bastard at something which is free. but i have a
feeling that the capper of the show just needs to turn off any kind
of "normalisation" option for the audio before encoding.
i'll get back in to my cave now...
just remember, that the audio in these 720p releases is not normalized or
compressed in any way. this is against 720p rules on the scene as ac3 sound
should not be transcoded or encoded in any way. the sound on these files are a
direct copy of the broadcast audio from the network. you complaint may be more
suited against the network rather than the file.

hey im kinda new at this 720p thing. was wondering is this the exact stuff that
is broadcasted on to tv or is it compressed. resolution information will be
helpful too. also what does the x264 mean?
