what i mean is, what reason is there not to do that? lossless is just bloat on movies

First for BASED 312C

i've decided apooloo staff are deliberately trying to kill their tracker

Second for Silverfin is a ratio whore

I thought DTS was lossy

where should I drop ratio :o(

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.

Top 10 buffer farm

your 200GB of FLAC is nothing, pajeet

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

On your mothers pussy

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?

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

sure thing

...

Hey lads, been out of town last three days, what happened in the private tracker RPG?

DELET

How am I supposed to get back into Nostream if their irc server doesn't work?

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.

It works fine for me

APL is now a ratioless, open signup tracker. PTH tries to inject life into itself by giving out FL tokens & invites.

Fuck i just shit my pants a little bit

go to bed, alucard

Turn them inside out. They're good for another day

>got a 2.5TB seedbox set up with Sickrage, CouchPotato, Headphones, Calibre, Ampache, Transmission, Mylar, LazyLibrarian, and SABnzbd
Gonna get /comfy/ tonight.

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.

for

People leveled up. That's it.

But which is better?

Got it. Thanks, user

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

:o/

>open signup
How do I sign up?

It is

Thanks. That's pathetic apooloo became ratioless.

>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)

>Paying for a computer to use to pirate
faggot

Thanks.

Wew I'm tired, makes sense. Thank you.

>Paying for a computer to use to pirate
Yes, and?

>he says while posting on Internet he's paying for

how do we fix retention

Yes, and? Why pay an additional fee.

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.

I sharted myself at the store yesterday.

You paid for it right? So, you're paying to pirate...

>inb4 nigger

...

DTS a shit

Fucking What all over again... Wait for the liberals to come flocking.

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?

that's every tracker, bunch of teenagers everywhere

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)

I just noticed that Apollo actually has more releases than PtH.

Apollo:
>Releases: 223,160

PtH
>Releases: 213,466

This is troubling.

PTH BTFO

holy shit you aren't memeing, apooloo must have passed pth the other day
pth was leading since before its freeleech i think

too bad apollo is a piece of shit tracker ran by retards and

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.

pth is literally dead

Inviting people is like having children.

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?

Which one of you was this?

A little bit, not much.

>BTFO
Laughed a little too hard at this
Don't worry, I'm siding with Apu

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.

>two stars

is this a shit master or a bad transcode?

dude its mp3 160kbps you retard

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH

>spek

you're fucking up

dbpoweramp says its v0 though.

To get perfect FLACs of rare music
and 1920s Russian Kino

what's wrong with spek?

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

...

your font rendering is fucking atrocious

>oy vey, shut the tracker now that I'm in

Disgusting.

>that font rendering
kys

get out Sup Forums

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

[20:45] Every time I see someone mention that they migrated off of utorrent because of us I get a boner
[20:45] I don't actually care about user safety or free software. those are all bullshit excuses
[20:46] I derive sexual pleasure from forcing people off of the most popular torrent client
[20:46] hot
[20:46] you need help with that woody?

Jesus what an asshole

what tracker even is that

Probably IPT or something else shitty

looks TS-based and dark, IPT probably

jesus that's a beautiful logo, 10/fucking 10

they still exist?

unreadable

goin for that n64 A E S T H E T I C i see

So the apooinloo forums are just people from Sup Forums pretending they aren't?

I like to pretend the furries and non-troll idiots aren't from here, but realistically...

>furries
>what is /trash/

>There are no unbelievable idiots on Sup Forums
How's your first day?

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?

Is Nostream cabal?

Yes, everyone who's someone in the tracker scene is on nostream

The comfort comes from being financially secure.

just leaving this here
