>Not sure what private trackers are all about?
A private tracker is an invite-only torrent website. Each member shares common goals: collecting, preserving and discussing media.

RED seems to have more try hards racing to upload current year FLACs recently
>>
>>108403584
nice, how is the request snipe metagame?
>>
>>108403584
I had no problem finding things to upload last time I tried. But here's another tip for you fags. If you upload 100% CD rips from any year they get snatched, just the same as current year FLACs. If you can find complete trash at the local Goodwill and upload it then it's probably going to get snatched. But unlike WEB FLACs you actually need to pay for that so be careful.
>>
>>108403775
>>108403584

It's a great strat really, just very, very tedious.

There are many websites out there that will make lists of the latest releases.
All you gotta do is have a deezer (or similar) acc and use any tool that can grab the flacs. Also, check if you can find the artist on bandcamp. A lot of them release albums for free.

The main problem is quality, out of 10 artists, 5 will have their latest shit on RED already.
Out of the other 5, 3-4 of them will be fake, lossy shit.

That being said, if you don't have other options, it's worth it. Sometimes you'll find something that it's a request so you'll get some extra points for it.

I do it. I have EAC running in wine on Debian on this HP Thin Client I got for $20. I got the CD drive for around $7. So I just cobbled together some e-waste and I can leave it chewing away at scratched up old CDs all night long.

Thanks. I had seen the pack uploaded by QxR on 1337x which contained ARiN WEB-DLs and the DVDRips so I wondered if those were the best and the others were upcales. I also found a 1080p.WEB.h264-POPPYCOCK complete pack, do you know the source of that release?

Long-term seeding is for 3 seeders kino, not Deadpool. If there aren't enough seeder the torrent might die, and its not like anyone actually "download it" (or once in a while) so in term of read/write on ur HDD its like you aren't seeding it

Hey, thanks for the help. I'm very short on space at the moment so I can't download that right now but I found the original non-transcoded releases elsewhere so no worries if you have to stop seeding. What I couldn't find is the DVDRips. Could you upload those if it's not asking too much? Assuming the WEB releases are upscales I would rather have the SD.

>>
>>108409433
Multiple answers for how to do it are in the thread. You might want to ask AI for help on how to use them on your specific machine. The problem for you is going to be adding it into your workflow. I can add this functionality into my own cleaning script so if you're processing with it the writing library tag gets dropped if it says Monochrome.

Can you share it pls

>>
>>108410521
https://files.catbox.moe/13mjt9.py

Confirmed to work. Make sure you have metaflac and flac binaries in PATH or in the same directory as the script. FLAC 1.5.0 highly recommended. If you have a lot of threads to work with edit the script and set USE_HIGH_COMPRESSION = False to USE_HIGH_COMPRESSION = True to use -8ep instead of -8
>>
>>108410591
Cool thanks
>>
>>108410608
You can either run the script normally and it will ask you what directory to clean or pass the directory as an argument so it can work as part of a ripping workflow. It will stop you and ask you to manually intervene if it detects something is wrong with the tags, like these monochrome sourced FLACs are probably missing genre.

I used to be retarded once upon a time too. That's why I believe in meeting people where they're at. I can figure basically anything out. I'm not a helpless neon.

>>108410489
Which release looks better to you based on screenshots, metadata, etc., DVD or WEB?
>>
>>108411164
I downloaded POPPYCOCK, QOQ NF WEB-DL, and the RedJohn dvdrip to do an actual visual comparison.

NF looks like ass. 480p instead of 576p like the DVD. Skip it.

RedJohn vs POPPYCOCK is all that matters. DVD looks worse as you would expect because it was MPEG2 even if the source material is about the same. I think the encoder of the dvdrip missed that the way it looks is an aesthetic choice. They were aiming to make it resemble a cheap documentary. I think it comes through better in the POPPYCOCK upscale. The dvdrip is kinda stepped on. If you think POPPYCOCK 1080p is just bloat doing your own encodes from that source to scale it back down to it's native 576p is probably smart.
