So does re-encoding an internal release of a tracker is the way to go if you want to upload to another tracker?

I have some old xeon servers laying around and i want to contribute to a tracker that doesn't really have that much torrents, figure that will help making it better long term

why even live

who here /gold star/ as fuck

>>58141734
you've posted this three times which makes me believe it's not just a low-effort shitpost
NEVER re-encode something, it's the same as going lossless-->lossless on PTH/XNX
you're safe just uploading the exact same file, typically

>>58141734
yes u take 1080p encode the encode it to 720p

must remember the site must be bigger in the 720p than 1080p otherwise quality is not god

>>58141734
Find some dank 1080p YIFY rips on the piratebay to re-encode to 720p

>>58141803
YIFY is.... rip

>>58141761
is it really acceptable to do this though? Say i got some from BTN and release it outside of their sphere, what would happen if they find out? Worse still if somehow their friends are staff of the trackers that i'm uploading to, then i'd get /marked/ for life

>>58141769
>>58141803
no

>>58141824
Most sites encourage cross-seeding and re-uploading (AKA sharing the love, basically)
There are a few encode groups that ask you to not reupload their encodes, but that's hard to enforce and not many sites really mind
When in doubt, shoot the uploader a PM politely asking if you can reupload their content to $site

>>58141843

Stop listening to shitty music (rock, rap, pop).
Jazz, Classical and contemporary art music are usually mastered well.

Are there any decent guides on ripping vinyl for PT intentions, such as what software to use and what files to include in the upload?

>>58142397
There hasn't been a single time where I've honestly been properly able to ABX between v0, 320 or flac. That being said, flac is good for archival. I used to snatch v0 pretty consistently, but after what.cd closed (And maybe it's just my current paranoia), I've been snatching flac pretty consistently now.

Type 3+

>>58142512
Yes

>>58142545
It's about how it's mastered. Using a brickwall limiter puts everything at like 0 DB and often results in clipping. I'm simplifying it a lot but that's basically it. People competing in the loudness wars.

>>58142467
Most do tbqh, but there are times where the CD mix/master is so bad that a vinyl rip will actually sound better.

t. MBV - Loveless

>>58142513
yeah, i wasn't totally clear
basically, many (non-remastered) vinyl rips are 24bit flac so they can sound superior to, say, mp3s from remastered sources that have mangled the remaster process
of course, you can always grab an mp3 that is transcoded from the 24bit which would be fine
anyway, i was trying to make a point that 24bit flac isn't necessary placebo since an mp3 (from a different source) could certainly sound shittier

>>58142545
it means the dynamic range of the music is low

It was a dark and stormy night when 312c finally looks up from the computer screen - the flickering letters finally ouputting the outcome of the PGP. He yawns and stretches. A rolling thunder lights up and illuminates the skeletal trees and from the doorway comes four deep knocks.

Who arrived at 312cuck's doorway?

312c moves to open the door. In doing so, he upsets a cup of coffee and it makes a rolling dark stain appear on his bedsheets. But he navigates his way to the door. It is LB06 with his eyes wild and excited.

'312c, my old friend,' he says, 'It's time to start the purge!'

>>58143254
There is a crash and both 312c and LB06 look up.

'Fuck this,' 312c grinds out. 'I only replaced and installed the windows last week.' He looks up mournfully at the sight of the cracked windows and who has come smashing through them.

Azathoth is wearing red tinsel around his neck like a scarf. Also sitting atop his head are a pair of antlers, the kind you'd expect to see in a supermarket. Spaghetti is grinning and holding a bowl of linguini and underneath the bowl lies a cache of cards.

'Want to play?' Spaghetti says. 'I got these off the PasstheHeadphones FLS team. Winner takes all. Loser loses all. So,' he says grinning crookedly, 'What d'ya think, LB06 and 312c?'

Do LB06 and 312c play the game of trivia?

>>58143328
312c and LB06 reluctantly agree to the game. They had intended, no looked forward, to the purge but clearly getting rid of Azathoth and Spaghetti first made some amount of sense.

Cheerily, Azathoth rolls the die between his thumb and fingers. 'Whoever rolls a six will be the one to read out the trivia questions.'

312c glances at the die warily. 'And who wrote the trivia questions.'

Azathoth beams widely. 312c notices that the felt antlers on the man's head are brown and quite floppy for a christmas costume that is supposed to be new.

'The PassTheHeadphones staff of course. Who else?'

The PTP developer glares suspiciously at the other man.

They find a table, one with spindly legs.

On one side of it, LB06 and 312c sit, but the former sits such that his legs and elbows do not bump against the latter. On the other hand, Azathoth and Spaghetti sit so close to each other that they are practically side by side.

The players take their places and pick up the die.

Who rolls a 6?

>>58143415
LB06

>>58143415
Suddenly 312c decides to take a big fucking dump in the middle of the table

I'm becoming obsessed with taylor swift after downloading all her albums for buffer a few weeks ago

Just ordered a shirt and poster

>>58143424
LB06 rolls a six. Perhaps it's to be expected, given his preferred handle but it comes as a surprise anyway. Azathoth simply looks disappointed. Spaghetti is bored, busy feasting on his bowl of linguini flavoured with something that 312c doesn't care to identify.

On some level, 312c is relieved. If it was a loaded die, perhaps it would have been advantageous for either Azathoth or Spaghetti to roll a six.

But on the other hand, LB06 is now 'disqualified' from playing. In the interests of fairness, Azathoth had proclaimed like he was santa himself.

But 312c was not fooled.

He looks over the other side of the table, where Azathoth is grinning devlishly. His partner scum in crime is busy making the most intolerable noises imaginable.

'LB06, hurry up.' 312c gripes.

The HDBits staff member shrugs and draws a card and reads out the question.

>>58143693
is AHD actually TV oriented?

>>58143507
312c looks at the question printed. Who hacked Nostream.

'What kind of question is this?' He complains. 'It was clearly an anon off 4chan. Only in a place filled with that much scum could criminal activity arise.'

LB06 considers the question. 'I think you have far too much faith in 4chan's abilities.' He says drily.

'Well I don't think it's /g/.' Azathoth harrumphs. 'It might just be a fucking redditor, although I z-line enough of them on a daily basis to know that they're not capable of using anything except mibbit.' Spaghetti agrees, but the developer of PTP doesn't trust the shrewd look on that man's face.

They argue back and forth and 312c feels as if he has a building headache.

'Enough,' he shouts. 'I don't care who fucking hacked 4chan.'

'Nostream.' Spaghetti says connivingly like an extra tangly ferret. 'Hey 312c, remember that time when you tried to find a gazelle and couldn't find it?'

The Gazelle whinnies and 312c feels his migraine return with precision.

Should 312c ignore his headache or get on with his next trivia question accepting his loss?

>>58143704

>>58143750
'Next question,' LB06 interrupts, breaking up the squabble. Spaghetti is still writhing on the floor somewhere and Azathoth has tasked himself with finishing Spaghetti's own linguini in a florid and disgusting way.

'I'm getting some water.' 312c grumbles. 'Don't mind me.'

He makes his way over to the sink, stuffed with pots and pans. Some of them have blackish spots. Others appear to be growing some kind of fungus so he queasily dumps them all in the sink and gives them a good scrub.

He gulps down a few glasses of lukewarm water, pops in a painkiller and makes his way back.

The Gazelle is still there.

'Bahh,' It says.

'Oh fuck off.' The PTP developer replies and pushes past it to return to his rightful throne.

'Pick up and read the question,' LB06 intones. The HDB staff member has such a boring voice that 312c drifts off for a good minute before realising that its his turn to answer.

Does 312c believe in ghosts.

No, surely that can't be right.

312c kills himself. He grabs a knife and stabs himself leveraging just enough force to saw his throat open. Red spots blossom on the table.

'Well,' Azathoth says, 'that really didn't go according to plan for 312c hey.'

'A good end, I'd say.' Spaghetti says. 'So long and thanks for all the fucking fish you suicidal loser.'

LB06, Azathoth and Spaghetti fade a little bit or maybe it's just 312c's consciousness growing dim.

'Remember,' LB06 intones over 312c's dying body. 'Ghosts aren't real.' He says, just to ensure that the PTP developer has no lingering supernatural beliefs.

'Bahh.' Says the Gazelle happily. It prances around and licks 312c's hair a bit. His hand falls to the floor and when there is no forthcoming response, lewd, aggravated or otherwise the Gazelle finally finds its voice. 'Do you like my new fursona? I went to a great effort to make it.'

The wind is stirring and the moonlight is shining lethargically but there is no reply.

Sounds okay. And I would say BP shouldn't kick in until at least after a couple months of seeding.

Just got this message from someone I invited to PTH:

>I've been using some of these tokens. I have no idea how I'm supposed to build ratio as a non-uploader though. The site has the wrong model. It should be using a bonus points model. Music popularity follows a power law distribution and individual music tastes can often be found out on the long tail. A straight ratio system ends up reflecting reflecting the power law distribution for its users. This will cause the user base to shrink over time because nobody out in the long tail will be able to accumulate ratio.

He's right, but I think if you seed indefinitely, you can build ratio.

Don't forget this last bit.

Hey all, it's really easy for me to sound stupid, so go easy on me.
In pic attached, the source being another 1080p Bluray, wouldn't this indicate a re-encoding? Or the whole deal with "DON'T USE BLU RAY RIPS!"

>>58144541
That "AVC" there indicates that it's a full BD.

>>58144541
the source is a raw blu-ray, hence the result is okay
if 'x264' were in the source name, it would mean that it has been transcoded

Nine Inch Nails The Fragile: Deviations 1 V0 and 320 have a shitton of leechers and only one uploader making it buffer material.

>>58144454

>>58144563
>>58144574
Thank you. I knew that was allowed, I just didn't know it was the disc.
AVC =~ Disc?

>>58144592
Either disc or a remux. A remux is just the raw video with the extra bluray junk removed.

>>58144592
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, Advanced Video Coding, a digital video-compression format
VC-1 is also a blu-ray encoding scheme

remuxes typically include H.264 or AVC or VC-1
transcodes should always include x264 (or DivX lmao)

>>58144592
AVC = H264 = commercial version of x264 (open source implementation of the same standard)

VC-1 = a different scheme, but also used in BDs, inferior to AVC/H264

x264 means it's an encode, AVC and VC-1 means it's full BD or a remux.

>>58144604
>>58144608
Oh shit. I always thought I couldn't encode from remuxes and the source always had to be disc(Yeah, yeah, it's disc without menus and stuff).. So does this mean I can get by without the use of an optical drive?

>>58144640
Technically it's against the rules in many tackers, but nobody would know if you did in most cases.

>>58144637
>AVC = H264 = commercial version of x264
AVC/H.264 is actually simply the encoding scheme, not an encoder/decoder
many companies actually use x264 themselves anyway

yes, you can encode from a remux :^)
