Higher quality does not equal slower car, in any way. H264 can help for higher quality. Bigger filesize can help for higher quality. You know there exist people who want to keep the fansub scene forever chained at a certain quality level as to not allow fansubs to rival DVDs. But then there are also people who wants to release fansubs at highest possible quality. For the sake of promoting the series and its creators or for the sake of their groups image or for their own satisfaction or for the sake of fansub downloaders...etc. Whatever reason they may have for wanting higher quality, why can't you just accept that?

I think you may be reacting a little too strongly to this thread. I haven't yelled at anyone nor have I gone out of my way to insult anyone. I'm hardly ranting and I'm not launching any kind of accusations or judgement on anyone. I disagree with a decision that some people have made. Disagreement is not trolling. Ultimately, we all want smaller files. If we want bigger files, it's only because we want something out of it, like higher quality images. However, I think we can all agree that smaller file sizes are better. For instance, if you have two movies that appear to be of equal quality but one was smaller than the other, wouldn't you take the smaller one? What if making the file bigger didn't add any noticeable quality? Would you still want bigger file? Obviously anime encodes aren't anywhere near this but I think the desire for smaller files is understandable... Quote:

Perhaps it is just me, but the topic starter, in my opinion at least, does not seem to want or is anyway concerned about the 'higher quality' people are trying to force down their throat. Nor does it seem that they care much about whether people want their releases to be DVD quality or not, rather, it would seem they are more concerned with being able to download the greatest number of episodes at decent quality on a possibly limited connection (a feat +233mb releases do nothing to aid).
But maybe that's just me... |

I can say that my x264 encodes are big because of newbieness, although it's higher resolution as well.
I think this is a little price to get less ugly encodes. If I use normal resolution than it will be smaller, probably 140MB-170MB. However, if it is similar quality, I may drop the x264 version for faster release or easier seeding. |

Alsothe argument that h264 needs a fast system to be decoded is old and outdated i really with people would just drop it.

To me, the file size is a very huge factor into which version I download. I would love to switch to AVC, and even did for the short time there was a Kiba AVC encoding. However, I've stuck with XviD encodings for the fansubs I download only because it is the smaller file. If there was an AVC file of similar or smaller size, I would be all over it like ants at a picnic. But then, I've been told to "go to hell", though not in those words, by some encoders for speaking my mind on this before and I am getting tired to the attitude that quality is more important the file size.

well i still think that you are wrong. out of two movies with the same quality but different filesize i'd get the one that was seeded the best since filesize means nothing to me what so ever.
also i know for a fact that an athlon 2200+ (whice in most cases would be slower then a 3 ghz p4) can decode 720p with coreavc

Anyway as I said before. I always aim for best quality in my H264 encode. If I don't do a dual release (XviD encode as well) then I try to aim for a middle ground for quality and size. Only reason my H264 encode would be smaller then a XviD encode I do would be because the show easily compresses. And so far I see no reason to change that just because two people want smaller files.

My main point is that there are more then just technological luddites that continue to download the XviD encodings over the AVC encodings. I'm sure that most encoders would love to drop XviD onto the ash heap of history, but creating larger AVC encodings is ultimately counterproductive to that dream.

You don't have to make the files larger, but some people prefer to. I believ most encoders want to be be able to watch their encodes and not have their eyes bleed, the other 90% of people is really a non-issue. |
