> downloading 20min 720p that is compressed below 500MB

Talk about being retarded..

>>160674813
>how?
you see, videos can be encoded(compressed) in different ways(codecs), that together with the amount of data per second of video determine the final quality.
try to remember when many years ago you could fit a whole movie on a CD(about 700MB) - that was low resolution and looked bad, and now in 700MB you can fit a 720p movie that looks decent enough
there are a lot of parameters that determine the final quality though, all related to the amount of data per second of video, and choosing them inappropriately can lead to very heavy but still low quality videos

so basically you downloaded a video that was poorly encoded(compressed)
next time find a better encoding, maybe search for 10bit and h265/HEVC stuff

>>160674813
Find better rips and buy more storage, poorfag.

Listen to this guy, he's smart.

Stop downloading episodes from KissAnime you fucking reprobate.

Stop trying to trick OP into downloading malware retard.

>>160678207
Get an extra hard drive then. What's their price nowadays? 50$/TB?

>>160680095
That won't solve the main issue, which is the fact he's not watching the damn anime.

>>160679910
Isnt nyaa dead?.if it isnt then isnt nyaa like invite only?

>>160680199
Maybe the cost of hard drives will motivate him a little if he's a poorfag.

230MB is small for 720p though. You need like 350MB+ at least

>>160680500
Kinda but thanks

Horrible subs has nice quality with something around the 300 mb mark.

HDD sentinel gave my disk 8 more days to live and the SMART data says I have over 400 bad sectors.

1080p 1+GB/episode might not have been as worth it as I thought.

>>160682500
The funny thing with 1080p anime is that most of it is simply upscaled 720p masters and chances are, your own set-up will upscale it the same way, or even better than the company resposible for the 1080p remastering.

>>160682500
>complaining about 400 bad sectors

>>160682775
Unless the anime is made at a weird resolution like 900p or something. Then the 1080p upscaled release will preserve more detail.

>Watching anime before its BD release.

What are you doing with your life anon.

>>160685099
>wait months for a small improvement in quality
>miss all the discussion threads
No thanks.

>>160685166
Why would I want to discuss things with a bunch of sweaty nerds. And not all of use own shitty monitors like yours.

>>160685276
Then why are you even here?

>>160685350
Dunno, why is anyone here? I'm not here to discuss philosophy, I am here to talk about the specific heights and weights of imaginary 2D Japanese girl drawings and discus the various things I would do to them around the house on household objects. Why are you here?

>>160684877
There shouldn't even be one. None of my other computers and their drives have any.

The only drive I ever had before this that had bad sectors clicked itself to death.

Stop fucking everything up you stupid Finn.

I download HEVC encodes even if they are reencodes.
I have a two monitors and my second monitor is playing media 24/7 either movies, cartoons or anime.
Right now my playlist is at 1600 files and it's not even 1/6 of my whole library.
HEVC is God's gift.

>>160686266
>HEVC
Literally for what purpose?

>>160686285
Can't you read?

>>160686311
Evidently not, since you didn't state a single good reason for using it.

>>160679425
Sony used a special waifu2x on it.

>>160686341
Beside the fact that HEVC is factually superior?
Let see how are you going to meme you way out of this, even reencodes can be done with relative low loss of quality or not loss at all.
I bet you people who complain about image quality don't even have properly calibrated monitors either.

>>160686460
Daiz, we already told you GO THE FUCK AWAY!

>>160686505
Wrong guy, you paranoid fuck.

>>160686460
HEVC is good only at achieving better quality at a lower bitrate. Do your own research or hell, just google for any examples. You will see no noticeable quality improvement if you're using decent encodes in the first place.

>>160686550
hehe as expected nice try to meme yoru way out of this.

>re-encodes
Enjoy your quality loss.

>>160685350
Shitposting.

>>160686671
Not an argument.
Unless you're getting direct ISO rips you're getting lower quality.

Lets skip all the autism arguing and simply say that even if you do get ISO rips you're still going to get shit content because anime releases are always bad in one way or other (:

>>160686799
>quality loss is not an argument
There is no reason to re-encode x264 to hevc. Might as well stream if you don't care about quality.

>>160686876
No.

>>160675150

I don't specialize in assassination, so idk.

>>160686024
Bad sectors shouldn't happen, but they can. And 400 are not bad at all, just be sure to have backups that's it.

>>160674813
Crunchy rips

>>160675150
why people is not using hevc? is it because the majority of devices owned by people still has no support for it?

>>160675150
>x265
just say no

>Allowing Naruto threads on /a/
I still firmly believe this is his worst crime and we would be better off banning their general.

>>160682500
dont listen to the other anon. if you have 1 bad sector then the drive needs to be replaced. transfer all of your files immediately or risk losing them all. do the test again if the number of bad sectors is increasing then stop using the hdd and go get a new one asap

>>160691906
Naruto threads aren't the only ones. Hell, I'd argue DBS and SNK threads are even worse.
