Torchwood?

will eztv be releasing the new uk drama torchwood?

eztv dont release anything, they just distribute what is released by groups, so
its up to the groups to cap them 🙂. lets just hope remax, river or gothic cap it...

torchwood episode 1 and 2 are being aired on bbc3 back to back tonight at 9pm.
in fact now episode 2 is starting. both episodes repeated again at 1am. thinking
about it sfm may even cap it.

it will also air on wednesdays at 9pm on bbc2.

hope it materialises soon, signals so crap around here i can't even get bbc1
and 2 let alone 3.

gonna be up till god knows when doing work anyway, need some who related
goodness!

im downloading torchwood.s01e01.ws.pdtv.xvid-river and its 700 mb, its only
the first episode, nearly an hour long. should think the same applies to the
vtv torrent..

hi, i'm somewhat ignorent when it comes to the encoding process... but i do
have a question> i'll use torchwood as an example. the usual vtv or lol encode
of a one hour episode results in a file size of about 350mgs. this is whether
or not the file name specifies hd (which i take to mean hi-definition) or not.
being naive, i would expect that if a regular broadcast encode measures 350mg,
then a hi-def version of the same program must be larger. but it doesn't seem
to be...

also there are some popular shows, like torchwood, that are being presented in
2 different encoding formats. the file name includes ac something or another,
and they are almost always nearly 700mgs. are these versions the true hi-def
versions?

thank you for your time.

an american one-hour episode equals (around) 42 minutes.

the hdtv-version (hi-def) is 350 mb.

the hrhd (high resolution, high definition)-version is around 700 mb, with ac3
(better audio, and often 5.1).

true hi-def is only achieved by downloading the ts (transport streams) unedited,
where there has been no encoding, but these files weigh in at around 2-3 gb for
a normal 42 minute-episode.

if you want higher quality, you can also get the x264-versions. usually these
files weigh in at around 1.1 gb for a 42 minute-episode. however, check out a
comparision between these files and the 350 mb-ones here: (copy and paste url):

the one on the bottom is the 1.1 gb one, the one on the top is 350 mb.

hope this clears some things up.

holden
thank you very much for your answer. i went to the image comparison site and i
get your point... although the larger file shows a bit more texture i doubt it
makes any real difference in the enjoyment of a tv show.

that top one looks more like pdtv or even dsr rather than hd... and all are 350mb.

also... what's a good screencap program? i always have grief capping video images.

for those who dont know, pdtv, dsr, sdtv and hdtv are the sorce of the show. not
what the playback of the file will be. if the show was broadcast in hd, the it
is to be labeled hdtv, if it was in standard definition, then it will usully be
labeled sdtv, digital satelite rip is dsr (i think thats what dsr is) and pdtv
is pure digital tv, digital tv, but not hd...

yeah.. holdens refers to the upper picture being from a 350mb encode w/o
specifying what type of encode... which doesn't help for comparison
