Problems such ÜÜÜßßß ²° °±ßÝ as the conundrum of speed vs. quality which I would Þß±° °² ²°ÜÝ±ß like to take a few moments to discuss with all of ß±Þܰ² ±Þß ° you here today. For those of you who you don't know ° ßݱ ݲ° °± what I'm referring to, this particular issue relates ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± to the fact that almost anyone can capture a video ± °² Û Ý²° °± feed of any TV show and release it in the 'scene' ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± system given he knows a thing or two about both. ± °² Û ßܲ° °± Gone are the days where (a) no one really cared about ±° °²Üß ßßßÜÜÜ ripping TV shows since no 'scene' site would accept ÜÜÜßßß ²° °±ßÝ them and only true fans would bother to release Þß±° °² ²°ÜÝ±ß anything, often to public or private IRC communities, ß±Þܰ² ±Þß ° having 'scene' site ops who were interested in those ° ßݱ ݲ° °± shows contact them directly to get them on their site ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± and (b) the days where gaining credits on sites by ± °² Û Ý²° °± uploading an enormous amount of TV rips regardless of ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± the show's quality (I'm referring to shows no one ever ± °² Û ßܲ° °± watches and not the video/audio quality of the encodes.) ±° °²Üß ßßßÜÜÜ was considered ludicrous and no one would ever think ÜÜÜßßß ²° °±ßÝ it possible... Þß±° °² ²°ÜÝ±ß ß±Þܰ² ±Þß ° This all poses a problem since now a lot of people have ° ßݱ ݲ° °± found a sudden interest in releasing the said TV rips ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± to the 'scene' community. The 'scene' itself revolving ± °² Û Ý²° °± around a world of fast races and shortcuts, it isn't ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± surprising that we are in this position today. The ± °² Û ßܲ° °± TV rip scene is unique due to two major ±° °²Üß ßßßÜÜÜ characteristics; the first being that almost everyone ÜÜÜßßß ²° °±ßÝ has access to the release material at once, and the Þß±° °² ²°ÜÝ±ß other being that this very release material can be ß±Þܰ² ±Þß ° extremely different in quality depending on where the ° ßݱ ݲ° °± video feed is coming from and how it's manipulated all ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± throughout the process of encoding and packaging. In ± °² Û Ý²° °± the ISO scene, such problems do not occur. For example, ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± not everyone can get access to games as fast as the ± °² Û ßܲ° °± current leaders in that domain. Could they get it ±° °²Üß ßßßÜÜÜ first, way before them and the stores, they would ÜÜÜßßß ²° °±ßÝ still need to have experienced crackers on fast Þß±° °² ²°ÜÝ±ß connections that could be able to crack the game's ß±Þܰ² ±Þß ° various protections schemes. It often happens that ° ßݱ ݲ° °± more than one group gets the release material at the ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± same time, but in the end, no matter who would have ± °² Û Ý²° °± released it first, the end user's experience would ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± have been the same. Both releases would have been ± °² Û ßܲ° °± identical, the only difference having been the way ±° °²Üß ßßßÜÜÜ the protection schemes would had been dealt with, ÜÜÜßßß ²° °±ßÝ something that doesn't affect in any way the quality Þß±° °² ²°ÜÝ±ß of the release. Either it works, or it doesn't. If the ß±Þܰ² ±Þß ° game requires a crack to be applied, and the crack ° ßݱ ݲ° °± doesn't work, the release is no good and it's nuked. ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± ± °² Û Ý²° °± It's much harder to draw the line between a good and a ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± bad release in the TV rip scene seeing as though a lot ± °² Û ßܲ° °± of people consider that whenever and however a release ±° °²Üß ßßßÜÜÜ is made, it's all over and we're all satisfied. As long ÜÜÜßßß ²° °±ßÝ as there isn't any major problems with it, "It's all Þß±° °² ²°ÜÝ±ß good", the general consensus stipulates. Whatever ß±Þܰ² ±Þß ° happened to quality? For a lot of people that's ° ßݱ ݲ° °± important. People such as me enjoy archiving those ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± TV series and seeing them more than once. "Let's find ± °² Û Ý²° °± the best source possible and make it the nicest encode ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± we can before releasing it so the end user's experience ± °² Û ßܲ° °± will be tremendous." Sadly, that philosophy cannot hold ±° °²Üß ßßßÜÜÜ in the current context. Would you allow yourself to ÜÜÜßßß ²° °±ßÝ think as such and wish to provide everyone with a Þß±° °² ²°ÜÝ±ß release which meets your quality standards, you'd ß±Þܰ² ±Þß ° have close to no one to share it with in the 'scene', ° ßݱ ݲ° °± their sites having already been filled up with speedy ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± releases whose quality could only be described as merely ± °² Û Ý²° °± 'good enough'. Who will you rather release for in times ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± such as these, the masochist 'scene' who willingly ± °² Û ßܲ° °± plagues itself with such apparently unsolvable problems ±° °²Üß ßßßÜÜÜ or the true fans out there who rely upon you for quality ÜÜÜßßß ²° °±ßÝ material? Sometimes, you just need to find a way to Þß±° °² ²°ÜÝ±ß satisfy both. The 'scene' brought it upon itself to ß±Þܰ² ±Þß ° receive this release we are presenting you today in its ° ßݱ ݲ° °± current form. It could have been better, but enjoy this ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± release nevertheless; we consider it 'better than ± °² Û Ý²° °± whatever you might have gotten 5-10 minutes after this ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± one and which would have possibly been of inferior ± °² Û ßܲ° °± quality, released by another group'. You're happy, I'm ±° °²Üß ßßßÜÜÜ happy, we're happy. Enjoy, and if you ever care deeply ÜÜÜßßß ²° °±ßÝ enough about quality based encodes, you'll know where Þß±° °² ²°ÜÝ±ß to find us/them. ß±Þܰ² ±Þß ° ° ßݱ ݲ° °± CRC of mpeg: CBEAB002 ±° °²Þ Û ²° ± ± °² Û ßܲ° °± ±° °²Üß ßßßÜÜÜ ÜÜÜßßß ²° °±ßÝ Þß±° °² ²°ÜÝ±ß ß±Þܰ² ²ÛÜ ° ° ÜÛ² ² ß þ ÜÜÜÜ ÜÜÜÜ þ ß ² ± ÛÜÜÛßßß ßßßÛ± ú ú ú þ greets þ ú ú ú ±Ûßßß ßßßÛÜÜÛ ± ° ßß ÞÛÛ ÛÛÝ ßß ° þ ÜÛÛÛÜ ÛÛ²Ý WoW, FEVER, iMATiON, RCA Þ²ÛÛ ÜÛÛÛÜ þ ÛÛßßÛÛÛÜÜ ÜÛ²±Û Û±²ÛÜ ÜÜÛÛÛßßÛÛ . .
