what i mean is, what reason is there not to do that? lossless is just bloat on movies
David Green
First for BASED 312C
Hudson Garcia
i've decided apooloo staff are deliberately trying to kill their tracker
Angel Taylor
Second for Silverfin is a ratio whore
Isaac Robinson
I thought DTS was lossy
Jaxson Hughes
where should I drop ratio :o(
Josiah Brooks
Got about 200GB of FLAC, some of which I'm sure would be of use to building up the database on one of these new music trackers. How do I get in boys? The only tracker I was on before was What so I can't get in boys somewhere else.
Jose Hughes
Top 10 buffer farm
Joshua Davis
your 200GB of FLAC is nothing, pajeet
Levi Smith
DTS-HD and DTS are both bloated codecs. AC3 performs well enough for movies at 640 kbps, there's no way the extra 900 kbps in DTS is worth that much. If you want better than AC3 then you might as well use FLAC5.1 because even that is going to be the same size or smaller than the DTS core, let alone DTS-HD
We might say the same for v0 and opus, but transcoding from v0 to opus is a bad idea. Does the same apply to 5.1, 1510kbps DTS -> 640kbps AC3? And why do respected groups like DON use DTS if it's just a meme?
Ethan Walker
Join PTH and upload everything. Assuming your FLACs are all new and unique, you will be in the 90th percentile or higher because lazy low-lifes don't upload, only seed large Classical torrents that they never listen to or understand due to their lack of music theory knowledge
Lucas Miller
sure thing

Hey lads, been out of town last three days, what happened in the private tracker RPG?
Colton James
DELET
Kayden Young
How am I supposed to get back into Nostream if their irc server doesn't work?
Xavier Roberts
DTS-HD = lossless DTS = lossy
All Blu-rays with DTS come with the lossless DTS-HD track and a lossy DTS core. You transcode the lossless to AC3, not the lossy.
As to why people still use DTS, some encoders don't like any transcoding if they don't have to do it, they figure DTS is good enough, especially for a movie, it's only a few hundred MB more. For something like a TV show that can add up to many GB very quickly though. So for TV I would get AC3 since I'm not gonna notice it anyway.
Cameron James
It works fine for me
Jose Bennett
APL is now a ratioless, open signup tracker. PTH tries to inject life into itself by giving out FL tokens & invites.
Joshua Ward
Fuck i just shit my pants a little bit
Jonathan Russell

Ryan Hall
The usual, /ptg/ goes nuts over PTH and APL fuckups as both sites' sane users calmly keep uploading perfect FLACs. No notable shutdowns that I know of.

People leveled up. That's it.
Ayden Torres
But which is better?
Joshua Lewis
Got it. Thanks, user

I fail to see how paying-to-pirate is comfy.

Ethan Evans

Gavin King
It is
Sebastian Jackson
Thanks. That's pathetic apooloo became ratioless.
Connor Phillips
>paying-to-pirate I got XSUsenet free tier, it's alright even if the retention is shit. He's just baiting, Appleoo isn't ratioless (but freeleech is on)
Jayden Allen

Ethan Reed
Thanks.
Wew I'm tired, makes sense. Thank you.
Caleb Hughes
>Paying for a computer to use to pirate Yes, and?
Aaron Ross
>he says while posting on Internet he's paying for
Grayson Turner
how do we fix retention
Camden Flores
Yes, and? Why pay an additional fee.
Levi Scott
It's pretty decent now on the places that have it figured out. It depends on the content what works best. Request systems also do wonders for when the retention isn't there.
Owen Parker
I sharted myself at the store yesterday.
Nathan Wright
You paid for it right? So, you're paying to pirate...

DTS a shit
Matthew Hernandez
Fucking What all over again... Wait for the liberals to come flocking.
Jacob Smith
there is dead shit everywhere people need to be rewarded for lone seeding/seeding something with under 5 seeders or uploaders need to be punished for letting their uploads die do any trackers have a system like this?
Brody Cruz
that's every tracker, bunch of teenagers everywhere
Michael Carter
DTS BTFO why are there so many audio codecs used specifically for video, anyway. for music only it's literally just mp3, aac, and flac (it should be opus and flac but that's another story)
Nolan Bailey
I just noticed that Apollo actually has more releases than PtH.
Apollo: >Releases: 223,160
PtH >Releases: 213,466
This is troubling.
Jackson Roberts
PTH BTFO
Alexander Williams
holy shit you aren't memeing, apooloo must have passed pth the other day pth was leading since before its freeleech i think
Benjamin Russell
too bad apollo is a piece of shit tracker ran by retards and
Tyler Moore
I had broccoli tonight at dinner and now my office absolutely stinks of sulfur farts.
AHD you get extra bp on low seeder torrents, HDB rewards for old torrents with more bp, TehC the low seeder ones are freeleech, BTN you get a bp boost on low seeder ones I think too, too lazy to look.
Jayden Gonzalez
pth is literally dead
Ayden Taylor
Inviting people is like having children.
Hudson Turner
I like Apollo but desu a lot of it is probably scripters making duplicate releases that will have to be cleaned up later Is this as much of a problem on PTH?
Brayden Perry
Which one of you was this?
Cameron Thomas
A little bit, not much.
Aiden Gray
>BTFO Laughed a little too hard at this Don't worry, I'm siding with Apu
Leo Davis
There are definitely duplicate releases on PtH. I'm wondering which metric they use to arrive at that number, though. Every release of an album is counted or just the first? Because the music nerdery is really about comparing releases and whichever tracker has the most releases will thrive, IMO.
Caleb Price
>two stars
Nicholas Price
is this a shit master or a bad transcode?
Logan Powell
dude its mp3 160kbps you retard
Jose Lopez
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH
Austin King

you're fucking up
Liam Bailey
dbpoweramp says its v0 though.
Daniel Martin
To get perfect FLACs of rare music and 1920s Russian Kino
Adrian Young
what's wrong with spek?
William Ross
Do you think we can lobby PTH to allow Hampus Type tags?
type.0, type.i, type.ii, type.iii, type.iv and type.v
type.0 could be omitted because most music on PTH is type 0
Jose Ward

your font rendering is fucking atrocious

Disgusting.

get out Sup Forums
Jeremiah Lee
that's about what LinoHaze looks like for me too, guessing it's something to do with not having micro$oft fonts. all the other stylesheets are fine

How to upload to AHD w/o grueling Blu-ray encoding process? C'mon guys, I just need to get this one little upload out of the way. I don't have a machine for encoding atm.
Btw what are some good optical drives?
Justin Watson
Is Nostream cabal?
John Nelson
Yes, everyone who's someone in the tracker scene is on nostream
