At which bitrate do you download your movies?

...

Also compatibility if you're a poorfag, I guess that 10bit encodes are good if you have 6+TB of space and one of those chinese Roku ripoffs that can read h.265 and 10-bit.

USA niggers can't into rutracker

x264 crf ≤ 22 is enough, and bitrate would depend on the content. if crf is < 18, then this is a waste of space.

Everything I try to get off there has no seeds

Around 1000 kb/s for movies, and 250 kb/s for shitty sitcom cartoons. I try to be frugal in everything I do.

Nigger, you might as well read a book.

shut the fuck up and leave Holla Forums. maybe leave to a search engine?

Raw BDs or Remux are the real deal (provided you have standards and don't download everything remotely viewable). The only time I download encode is when some heavy filtering work was done for me (e.g. FLCL).

10bit takes LESS space, even if the source is 8bit.

Then everyone just makes a shit job at encoding?

You mean Mbps. Small Holla Forums

At 1080p I never really worry if it's anything over 4GB for a 1-2 hour movie. The difference above that is hardly noticeable for me. I'd go higher quality if I had a 4K monitor or TV. But even then probably not higher than 16GB.

I'm impressed really

I don't download movies these days, haven't since demonoid went offline. Well ok they're back but all the good shit (old and/or obscure stuff) is gone.
I use youtube for some stuff (you can even find movies on there, I got "killdozer" that way), but don't care about the quality so much as not wasting lots of disk space, so -f 18 does the trick.
Anyway I'd rather have VHS and 80s computers tbh. Also audio cassette tapes.

Should be good for video encoding newfags like yourself. The encoder internal precision is also 10bit, giving more accurate result forthe motion vectors.

You just reminded me how there's no Lake Texarkana Gamera official HD release.

...

Your quoting grammar is off, and many people here can't upload files because they use Tor. You might want to wait a while before commenting on who can and can't be called newfags.

literal data mining thread
yes, you should have 10-bit fullstack

So is DD/AC-3 at 640kbps just as good as DTS at 1536kbps?
I heard that DTS (5.1) is a shit audio codec and that DD was just as good in 640kbps, I suppose AC-3/FRAC-3 is the one used as a DD equivalent since in torrents is always at 640kbps for 6 channels.
If so, Do fucking Blu-Rays use DTS? Because the closer you get to REMUX the more DTS sound you get in the description.
Why so?
Whats the DolbyDigital/AC-3 bitrate equivalent of True HD (7.1)?

opus is the best

m8, it's not TPB/KAT tier. As an alternative to super sekrit clubs like HDbits/WhatCD(and replacements), it's pretty good.

If you do not have a properly wired-up surround-sound system there is no point in having more than 2 audio channels. That's all I know.

DTS is the superior codec
Also higher bitrate is almost always better

Not entirely, h.265 can make around the same image qualitty with less bitrate, granted you have a media focused PC or a shitload of patience.
Something might be up with DD vs DTS.

I have a 5.1 system, bout' to change it to 7.1.

Don't fall for the x265 meme, it's not read to replace x264 for 1080p AT ALL. You have to disable SAO and intra-smoothing to even get something viewable.

Skip 7.1 and go for atmos

What about the headphones?

That is sound advice. Seriously though, for shitty comedy cartoons, you can easily go below 200kb/s. I'm not watching Futurama for its amazing visuals. The entire series (52 hours altogether) takes up less than 5 gigs of space on my NAS. For live-action movies, 700-1200MB is a perfectly reasonable range. Ninety minute cartoons can easily go as low as 350MB.

As I said, I enjoy frugality.

DTS is shit, just like AC3 and MP3. this is all poop-tier.
Opus fucks them all in ass.

yes
because they care too much about hardware players

That's all fine for me but can't go to a family reunion since only the upmost newest TVs are possibly compatible and I'm not paying jack shit for a laptop, I'm poor enough as it is.
So I have to deal with this shit.

ru sucks dick.
only EMP is any good, and it's all just porn.

BTW, if you got any EMP invites, I'll zuck ya dikkkk-

Whatever has highest filesize on tpb. I really don't care the specifics. Also flac is for elitist scum 320kb/s perfect.

no, FLAC is for faggots who can afford to keep buying 4TB HDD when they keep getting filled after 400 songs.

H.265 was never about image quality, performance, usability or any technical improvements. It's about control over the consumer, producer and supply chain. You can't encode or decode it legally without paying three different patent pools. You can't decode legally-produced H.265 without succumbing to or breaking DRM, because nobody who pays that much is going to give their produce away for free.
H.265 is corporate fascism, and anyone who supports or proliferates it is complicit.

If you want a shitty placebo codec that - like 265 - takes an order of magnitude more CPU to encode and decode than x264 for comparable "benefit", just use Dirac. Remember to watch it only over certified directional oxygen-stable HDMI cables, you massive fucking faggot.

I have like 30,000 and it's only 2 TB
A lot of 24 bit too

Stupid question, bitrate doesn't matter it's about how much effort the person/group put into the actual encode. Find a good release group and stick with it. Most of the stuff in the larger encode is stuff you don't even care about or see, like dust. If you watch Chinese Cartoons the bitrates can go really low and still look as good as the bluray because they have so much flat space.

Encoding is an art that has died because space and bandwidth no longer matters. No point in tweaking settings all day to squeeze out the best quality at the lowest bitrate because plebs like the ones in this thread will pass over that release for the largest one. Same people couldn't tell you the difference between FLAC and mp3 at 320kbps in a blind test but would swear they could hear the difference. Just grab whatever is compatible with whatever piece of shit you want to play it on and call it good.

holy shit wtf lmao

how?

I download YIFY. There is absolutely nothing wrong with his videos.

Don't use words you don't understand.

Retard.

your level of math leaves me wondering, when it was the last time when you visited a doctor?

was a miss, intended for

I really only download 15-20GB movies that I consider the "best of the best" and want to have the best archival version of that's not a straight Remux or BDMV. For movies that I still consider good but not the "greatest", if the movies are less than 10-13gb I just download it in 720p. Smaller filesize movies (when done by a good encoder) will look better in 720p compared to 1080p.

For everything else/movies I don't really care about, I download mini encodes that are around 2-4GB in size. Even though these encodes are small, they are done by competent encoders so they look way better compared to the typical YIFY tier shit you see at that size.

I find it's a lot easier to tell if an video encode is shitty compared to a music encode. I wish video encoding was as advanced as audio encoding such that any retard can just instantly encode a Blu ray to around 1/4 of it's size and have it look almost transparent to the source. Movies with a lot of film grain especially suffer the most.

It's actually as easy as music. Just use x264 wih the good preset and tune. Now with x265 that's another story.

What you guys think about Grym group for enconding? They range 15GB to Remux.
Also, the fuck with 47GB files?

I still have to see a 10bit encode that isn't 20% bigger in size than it's 8bit counterpart/source.

its*

Not an argument

Learn to read, I didn't said I dont agree.

Give me an HQ source of any cartoon, and I can show you.

you're saying like it's a problem
TVs are cancer anyway
using a stationary computer? watch stuff right on it, what's the problem?
