This is a full resolution, high profile x264 DVD rip of the 1998 X-Files movie - Fight The Future. ------------------------------------- THE X-FILES - Fight The Future (1998) ------------------------------------- Source: DVD Rip Constant Quality Rate Factor(CRF) of 18.5 VIDEO: Container: MKV Codec: x264 Resolution: 720 x 368 Widescreen (2.35:1) fps: 23.976 AUDIO: 1. English - DTS 5.1, Bit Rate 755 Kbps (audio untouched from DVD) 2. French - AC3 Dolby Surround (2.0) 3. English Commentary - AC3 (2.0) SUBTITLES: English subrip srt in MKV. (note: you can turn subs on or off) ENCODING SETTINGS: CRF 18.5, Ref=8, bframes=8, me=umh, Subme=11, Me_range=32, Trellis=2, b_pyramid=2, b_adapt=2, direct=3, weightb=1, weightp=2, rc_lookahead=100, mixed_ref=1 Please seed when you are done so I can move on to seeding the next season. A good rule of thumb is to upload at least as much as you've downloaded (1 to 1 ratio)...thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CRF encoding maintains a constant quality across episodes by adjusting the required file size (bit-rate) to maintain the desired quality. Some scenes/episodes need a higher bit-rate than others. CRF...file sizes never too little and never too much...constant high quality across the board. The high profile x264 settings provide greater compression, while maintaining the crf-18.5. i.e. CRF-18.5 at lower x264 settings would have the same quality, but would result in larger files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~NO: 350mb/700mb no matter what quality files, x-vid video, mp3 audio. ~Always: Untouched ac3 or dts audio, full resolution video, high-profile x264 settings, Larger files (only) when needed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
thank you

This is a tv movie that should be watched (at least it takes place) in between Season 5 (http://thepiratebay.ee/torrent/6896239/The.X-Files.Season.5.x264.dolby.AC3.subs-MCH) and Season 6 (http://thepiratebay.ee/torrent/6900944/The.X-Files.Season.6.x264.dolby.AC3.subs-MCH)
Actually it's not a tv movie it was released in theaters and made around 200 Mill $ and that's 1998 dollars which would be around 500 Million now.
I love your work but this is a bit of a miss why DTS 755 Kbps Audio and a resolution of 720 x 368 it would have been better to reencode the audio to 448 AC3 5+1 or 256 AAC 5+1 and keep the resolution at around 850 x 480 but it's your decision and I respect it.
Tanks a lot.
ps. whats up after X-Files are you doing Smallville season 10 or Sliders season 5 to round up those shows or are you uploading Atlantis?
What about the SG-1 STV movies?

Hi. I appreciate your comments. I had no idea it was released in theaters (that's what I get for assuming :) To address a couple of your other points...
As far as the audio. I will generally always try to keep the highest quality audio regardless of any other factors. I try not to concern myself with size too much. Quality always comes first. In this case, the best audio that was included on the dvd was the DTS track. It takes up more space than AC3 or AAC, but I'd rather trade off the space for the quality.
Now it seems you're implying that I may have traded off the video resolution (by decreasing it) for the better/larger DTS audio? That I would never do...at least not intentionally.
I can't claim to know everything there is about pixel aspect ratio, aspect ratio flags, anamorphic, etc. But aren't all ntsc (standard) dvds stored at 720 x 480? Then there is some sort of flag on the dvd that "tells" the dvd player how to distort the picture stored on the DVD to recreate the original film aspect ratio. The flag for widescreen (which this is) is 16:9. However, since this picture should really be 2.35:1, it adds black bars. Those black bars are cropped by the encoder I use which brings things down to 720 x 368. The encoder uses the same flag as the original dvd video. I always use "loose anamorphic". When I encoded this movie, the encoder said that the source was 720 x 480 (without cropping), as would be expected. Using loose anamorphic, the encoder stated it would have a display size of 860 x 368 (even though it's still stored at 720 x 368, which programs like mediainfo will show) . To check, I opened the original dvd vob's which i still have in vlc and told it to show me the size 1:1 without any resizing to window size. That way I could see exactly how wide the original stretches. Then I opened up the encoded video. They were the same width. So it appears that the flag should be set right in the file. Not sure if this makes sense...like I said, I'm not really that versed in this sort of stuff. But I always tell the encoder to always give me the highest resolution possible. So if something is wrong here, it's possible the encoder messed something up.

To answer your other question...I will be uploading Smallville Season 10 and Sliders Season 5 shortly after releasing the last season (9) of x-files. I don't think I will do the sg-1 movies as it seems there are already nice copies out there.

Forgot to mention that atlantis will most likely come after smallville and sliders.
No meech your work is gold, I'm kicking my self cos I downloaded and seeded a few scene 350 MB Rips (like X-files and Atlantis) but as kind of a nerd I don't like total audio bitrate to be more then the Video bitrate, and I'm not much of a DTS fan it's a 40 year old system originaly not part of the DVD standard it was added recently with an exception that any DVD containing DTS audio should have an extra AC3 track (R1 US DVD) or mp2 (European DVDs)
(DTS+French+Comments) > Video
atm I'm downloading and seeding Quantum leap (I have limited bandwidth but I do a minimum 1:1 ratio) tanks agein your newer constant quality rips are great (I hope to see B5 in the near future it was the only 90's show done in 16:9 ratio the author had a forsight that most TV's would support it in the near future so the DVD's are WS, it's not as popular cos PTN owns the rights and after it's bankruptcy it didn't let the show go in syndication).

I'm not complaining just commenting,
so Fox (20 Century not the network) remastered the DVD with dts audio and letter-boxed video instead of using anamorphic, well that's fox for you, while we're talking fox I'm not sure did you do Firefly+Serinity? A good sci-fi that fox destroyed after a season?

Hi ili2882. I know your not complaining :) I do appreciate the comments. Can't say I agree with the "video bitrate should be higher than audio" idea, but I see where you are coming from.
I thought of including the ac3 5.1 track along with the dts track, but it seemed extraneous as most reviews I read preferred the dts. But that is certainly subjective, open to personal taste.
Both of the dvd versions are letterboxed-widescreen 2.35:1. However the new remastered version has anamorphic widescreen and the previous older one (without dts) is not anamorphic...not the other way around (http://www.digitalbits.com/reviews/x-filesfightthefuture.html) or (http://www.amazon.com/X-Files-Fight-Future-Widescreen/dp/B00005221O)
I don't plan on doing Firefly. While I thought it was a great series (damn these networks for squashing great sci-fi shows after just one season), I generally don't do shows that have bluray versions available. As you know, I'm into quality not quantity...and bluray is just about always better than even a great dvd rip. If there's a good sci-fi show that only has 350mb xvid versions of the show, and no bluray counterparts, those are the types of shows I usually do. Atlantis is an exception since so many people have requested it over time.
