Good. xvid is trash and who the fuck are these people putting .avi files on a DVD? I feel like people don't know how to computer.

>poorfag pirates complaining about their free shit
How pathetic can you get?

takes to long to convert to avi. this is bs

>F@#k LOL and their mp4′s
>MP4 SUCKS
>keep ignoring master race x264
people are beyond retarded

i havent downloaded a fucking avi or mp4 is 4 years

mkv master race

I agree with with the outraged folks, obviously it's because they are using mp4 instead of free (free as in freedom) Matroska container.

I wish everyone would finally dump MP3 for lossy audio files and move on to AAC.

what

why did they choose MP4 over MKV?

>>23306834
I wish I could hate people who write compound words in two separate words to death.

>>23306860
Better support by dvd players/portable players/etc I think.

>>23306860

because MKV is relatively obscure outside the community of people who know what they are doing

>>23306927
>>23306887
but I have noticed ~90% of HDTV shows and pretty much ALL HD movies are in MKV, why use MP4 for SD?

if they chose mkv, I guarantee the shitstorm would have been far greater.

WMV's are choppy when your talking 1080p rips

Watching >10GB 1080P rip in MKV through your PS3 (showtime) on a 50 inch x-series with 5.1 surround headphones = smooth as fuk

Aint broke don't fix it

>>23307119
idiots will be idiots. I have not used an avi for years because they are crap quality, and usually are not good for 1080p content. WMV is just total crap for 1080p, and why the hell are they whining about something thats free. If they want it in avi, they can put in out themselves, or convert to avi, OR, they could upgrade their shit-tier equipment so that they can play stuff that is better than avi.

You guys do realize that in other countries bandwidth is quite limited and often capped and thus it's much easier to get Xvid and a worthwhile tradeoff (quality)?

>>23307221

Not our problem.

>>23307238
mp4 is usually smaller than avi...

>>23307221
you're assuming this means larger file sizes though--is that actually true, or just speculation?

admittedly i don't know much about encoding.

>>23307221
the entire point of changing is to get better quality at lower or same file size you tard

>>23307271
>>23307260
Problem is the shittier internet connections are often paired with shittier mobile devices and computers. AVI is less CPU intensive.

so which is better and why avi or mp4
which is free?

>>23307297

This 10x.

This is our final xvid release. There is simply no valid reason to use the codec
anymore. Compatibility for 264 is currently more widespread than xvid/divx
was when vcd died. The quality of the resulting encodes is leaps and bounds
beyond what xvid is capable of. Of course there will be dinosaurs still trying
to rationalize the usage of an outdated format, and continuing to drag the scene
further and further down the evolutionary ladder. The scene used to lead, and
thanks to such individuals, it simply does not anymore. Time to step up and
begin repairing all the damage that has been done. As some friends like to
say, time to evolve, or time to die.

I reformatted and installed klite standard and now my videos are all choppy. Never had problems with klite until now.

Also
>FUCK those freeloading cunts
>if you cant use technology, stay the fuck away from it

I wish they would all switch to .mkv, mp4 is a step in the right direction from avi though.

>>23307300
but, they just need to update, also, mp4 is no more CPU intensive than avi, and it has been proven.

I puked

People are seriously still using XVid for new stuff?

They should've gone with MKV instead of MP4.

Just because the iPhone can't play MKV it's not an obscure format.
Pretty much all new TVs play it from USB.

>>23307006
WMV is equal in quality to x264. Many people feel as if WMV-HD is redundant because of
the x264 scene. This simply is not true because of the compatibility of WMV-HD. It can be
played on the X360 and HTPC's; x264 is restricted to HTPC's. The only reason many people are
against WMV-HD is because it's Microsoft. Fact is, many movie studios utilize the VC-1 codec
for their retail BD-ROMs.

i thought groups dumped xvid years ago? guess not.

oh well, fuck em all. xvid just is no where near competitive

not sure whose idea mp4 was though. it's technically a fine format, but there is so little that can be embedded in it. it's not enough to say that theoretically, anything is acceptable as a private stream. without standards on how the private streams are defined and used, they're useless.

BTW, there are still TV groups releasing XviD, if folk like that format they better hope those groups cover their shows. FQM and 2HD.

can someone tell me which release group releases spongebob?
thanx

>>23307490
that's just not true. VC1 does not stand up to h264 in quality. the end.

I'm fucking shocked that there's apparently so many people out there downloading free shit and then BURNING IT TO DVD.

What the fuck? The cost in DVDs alone would quickly go past the cost of just buying a cheap 50 dollar tv media player thing. This is why poorfags stay poor I guess.

>>23307408
>>23307400
Btw, laughing my ass off now.
Found klite 417 from Jan 2009, uninstalled klite 840 and installed the 417.
Everything works like a fucking charm.

The groups releasing MP4s are kind of annoying, because universally it seems they've actually upped their file size. A one hour show used to be like 320 mb, now an mp4 of the same show is 418 or so. I look for the .mkvs that are like 230mb, at least then I'm saving some time.

>>23307675
Well, there are DVD+RWs, it's not that expensive. I used to burn shit all the time to watch on my tv a few years ago via the dvd player.

But now, yes, media players are fucking cheap. And pretty much anything you buy nowadays has a USB port, so there's really no need to burn optical media, no matter how poor you are.

>>23307585
>FQM
Darn it. A lot of the shows I watch have they are the capper for.
How about OMiCRON?

Any given media streamer can support these formats.

Pity i can't say the same for Hi10. I need a new HTPC so i can stop having to watch it hunched over my desk.

Comments on torrent sites are perhaps the only thing more retarded than youtube comments.

>>23307761
links plz

>>23307675
You forget, true poorfags such as myself still only have SD CRT televisions so streaming is physically impossible.

>>23307745
OMiCRON still releasing XviD as well, they released an XviD yesterday.

>>23307675
My old DVD player had a SD card slot at least.

>>23307794
I'm sure you can find a media player with USB for $20 if you want. Perhaps second hand or something.

>>23307824
Double darn it.
x264 is superior in both filesize and quality. I wish they would have switched over too. Oh well.

>Only .avi works on my player
Then use your computer you goddamn idiot. What are they even doing, burning the stuff on DVD's to play on their outdated DVD player?
Jesus Christ.

>>23307858
I've thrown away dvd players with USB slots.

Oh look, it's the anime scene in 2006!

Welcome to the group, scenefags, you're quite late.

>>23307893
Nah, they're still behind the 06 anime scene. They're still using .mp4.

>>23307859
just download ORENJI releases instead of FQM, they're the same folk, also OMiCRON are not very active.

>Implying scenefags give a fuck what p2pfags think

Why don't p2pfags rip their own TV shows if they hate these new standards so much?

Public tracker mouthbreathers are just as retarded as youtube and facebook users.
More at 11.

>>23307908
the funny thing is, you know they're going to switch to mkv eventually. ASS/SSA may be shit, but at least it works. what are your options with mp4? 3gpp?

>>23307918
most p2p groups rely on the scene as a source.
(not hd p2p groups)

>>23307893
The funny thing is that they're switching to h264 less than a year before H265 hits.
You can expect every encoder in anime to switch to that so fucking fast your head will split open.

While these faggots will consider it in 2020.

>>23307911
I plan to. It has just been the case that an SD-only series I would follow would typically only have 1 release group encoding it. If there's an x264 release from a different source I'l take that going forward.


The Scene finally accepting x264 for SD material just now in 2012 is truly hilarious when you consider the fact that H.265/HEVC will be finalized by the end of the year.

the original raw rip is probably in the 30-50GB range. 5GB for 2 hours of content is about mid range right now. Just depends on how much quality was lost.

No shit anime is ahead of the curve, it can afford to be because the people who watch anime are neckbearded faggots who watch that shit huddled over their monitor, not normal people watching TV in the living room with family and friends.

>>23307683

5 gigs for 1080p is small. Most 720p is that size. 1080p is usually 8+

>>23307448
It is animation, you don't need that to be 8GB.

So Daiz and his faggots moved to an encoding profile that is going to be dead in less than a year?

>>23308149
>wasting money on burners or a blu-ray player
>not just using a small HTPC or a long HDMI cable and playing it from your PC
>any year past 2005

DVD or blu-ray players and burners are really irrelevant when nearly every mobo and graphics card on the planet has an HDMI port, and HDMI cables are so damn cheap, that the dedicated players are now obsolete for some of us. I have a DVD player, but I have not used it in about 5 years.

>>23308280
Think of it as a buffer before H265, that will require a lot more than just updating your decoder.

>>23308171
>not normal people watching TV in the living room with family and friends.

I watch my movies on my TV with family and friends, with a long HDMI cable, from my PC, that is in the other room. how the fuck hard is it to get a remote for your PC and have it running on the TV with media center or a wireless mouse and keyboard and a remote? maybe $20 at most for all of the stuff that I have into it besides the PC.
