Check out my high quality 720p rip of the first episode of Season Two of AMC's The Walking Dead. Please comment, and if there is enough interest I will rip and upload the rest of the season. General: Format : MKV File size : 4.60 GB Duration : 1 hour, 2 minutes Overall bit rate : 10.5 Mbps Video: Format : AVC Format profile : Baseline @ L3.0 Bit rate : 9,656 Kbps Width : 1,280 pixels Height : 720 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate : 24.000 fps Audio: Format : AC3 Bit rate : 640 Kbps Channel(s) : 6 channels Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz Bit depth : 16 bits
Why baseline profile? What's the source of the rip?
these were purchased on amazon. had to use wondershare to remove the drm. working on another method and preparing to rip the rest of the season now.
handbrake does not remove drm correct?
I've Googled the Amazon video quality. It's WMV or AVC with 2500 kbps bitrate.
1) That's really not that high, maybe Youtube HD quality. Usually web-dl files come from iTunes which is 4000 kbps AVC.
2) Re-encoding a file can not increase its quality, because the encoder doesn't know what in the original files is noise. So it tries to faithfully preserve everything, adding more noise. Even if you re-encode 2500 kbps files at 10000 kbps!
Web-DLs of some shows are not easy to find, but The Walking Dead is well supported on this site. Look here : http://thepiratebay.ee/search/walking%20dead/0/99/208
All these Web-DLs are iTunes (4000 kbps AVC) files stripped of DRM and put in MKV without re-encoding.
So thanks for your effort, but I think it's not really needed.

I have the [HD] version of the download, so the bit rate (published by Amazon and confirmed by MediaInfo) is actually 6,000 kbps. So while it was stupid of me to encode at 10,000 kbps, my source files should still be decent. I saw that iTunes also had this show but the audio source was crap. I am going to try stripping out the DRM from the source and re-encoding using High profile. The only compiled Web-DL of Season two has forced Russian subs which was why I bought it in the first place.
Thanks for the comments!
Thanks for the comments!
6000 kbps looks nice. Good luck to you! :) You can also just put the files into DRM-less MKVs.
For encoding I advise level 3.1 or 4.1, preset slow (or others slower), original 23.976 fps.
For example, in Handbrake it would be high profile, then 5 or 9 reference frames (for level 3 and 4 compliance), adaptive b-frames optimal, motion estimation uneven multi-hexagon, subpixel me 8. You can go with 4000 bitrate.
Good luck, more decent torrents is good :).
