I am disillusioned enough to know that no man's opinion on any subject is worth a damn unless backed up with enough genuine information to make him really know what he's talking about. - HP Lovecraft

Requests (or re-seed requests) should be posted in [COMMENTS] section of newest torrents. "Out of schedule" shows or pilot-episodes may get uploaded randomly, if circumstances allow (i.e. free slots open up).

Do NOT bother requesting easily available titles. If I haven't encoded something new and current - I have my reasons for that.

Do NOT request movies which have IMDB score lower than 4.4.

Do NOT request inclusion of TV shows in my schedule; that's my call. The removal of some show depends on many factors, however, be sure that shows would be dropped if I spot lack of interest, hungry hard-fisting crowd or too high a number of Hit and Runs. These decisions are my own.

My "regulars" can reach me at [email protected] (put your TPB screen-name in subject-line of e-mail).

  Most problems people have are with frame-sizes 1280x720 (720p). I recommend 
  and have used one system for years - CoreAVC for H264 
  https://thepiratebay7.com/torrent/4787782/
  ("Deblocking" set to "Standard") and part of DivX7-8 for AAC - 
  AAC DirectShow filter.

  Both are proved perfect, fastest and provide seamless playback up to 1080p 
  on new generation of computers. Newer NVIDIA graphic cards processors (GPU)
  decode H264 using dedicated subroutines directly served from CoreAVC 
  (I have an ATI card, just in case you were wondering).
  
  New DivX8 is maybe 18% slower than Core AVC and very common, 
  and in order to use DivX8 H264 and AAC DS filters outside DivX7 or 8 player 
  (as in Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic), Haali spliter 
  must be installed. Beware, however, that video quality could be very much
  degraded on encodings where extremely low bit-rates have been used.
  TIP: Switch back and forth between Core AVC and DivX H264 DS filters by marking
  and un-marking Core AVC "Preferred decoder" setting.
  
  Problems one can have may come from either one of the following 
  and-or a combination of these:  the playback system itself, a 
  malfunctioning device or lack of knowledge. 
  
  For instance, any so called "jerky" playback of "system-heavy" 720p comes
  from insufficient CPU and graphic engine power or simply - overloaded 
  computer. Use of ddshow filters and "codecs" is suicidal. This is not 
  Russian 720p Matroska format ("official" 720p) and completely different 
  setup is required (extremely high bit-rates of .mkv 720p to some extent
  "hide" bad encoding style). In low bit-rate H264, such as mine, 
  those errors and bad technique cannot be hidden and therefore are avoided as 
  much as possible.
    
  Any "blurriness" of video comes from less-than-recommended media player. 
  VLC  and a few other players are the most versatile and, generally speaking,
  good - but quality is 10-20% lower.
  Any "blockiness" comes from "system-too-slow" situation, when
   decoding engine of ones device become over-capacitated and cannot 
   process all frames as it supposed to.
  On "I have no video" and "I have no sound" I don't waste my time as this 
  is generally a complete lack of knowledge and/or understanding. 
  RTFM is the best response I can give.

  MP4 is absolutely ISO 14496-1 compliant. There are no B-frames, no CABAC 
  entropy in 272p and 360p, no strange filtering and no AV weirdness of 
  any kind.

  Recommended resolution for computers is 1024x768 (no matter frame-size).
  If you watch on HighDef TV or new HighRes monitor - take a proper watching
  distance - 6 to 8 ft. (It's a must then, I KNOW how ugly it looks with nose
  in front of screen).
  PS3 + HDMI cable + newer TV have been reported as best combination.
  I am very proud on sound quality and hence I recommend use of stereo system 
  and proper loudspeakers (connect Line Out of Soundcard or standalones 
  with Line In of any Stereo rack).
