>>42578160Also, I like the fact that they didn't bother to make the description grammatically correct.
>>42578160ready for rips
>>42578197Flash assets for the entire uncensored episode got leaked back in the days, it can be rendered in God tier quality. I know YayPonies don't give a fuck anymore but haven't anyone else bothered with it yet?
>>42579149I don't remember that episode getting leaked.

NOT SO FAST
>>42580664Around 164GB.
Im confused now. So there was another 100g torrent in the prev thread, what is in that?
>>42582222All nine seasons of MLP: FIM from Amazon Prime Video in HEVC encoding. It seems like other people are going to make torrents of those in AVC encoding and with 4k upscaling.
>>42582222HEVC rips from Prime which (obviously) turned out to be worse than AVC version due to lower bitrate.
>>42582231>>42582232Ah okay thanks. I only quickly skimmed through the previous thread and did not notice that amazon serves two variants.
>>42582221>Around 164GB.fuck
>>42582786Is that a lot or something? You can buy a 6TB drive for around 100€.
>>42582795I have the space, just have a lot of work documents to move over, as well as anime, not a problem, I had 120 GB free for MLP. But the new space made this hell of a lot easier to figure out

>>42583434Bummer that the leaked one is an unfinished version because the colors look better (imo) than the final version
It would be cool if someone could add the missing Rainbow and Fluttershy in this scene
>>42583716>leaked one is an unfinishedWhat are you talking about? The movie?That's the theatrical finished version they played in the cinemas.
>>42583991The blu-ray version has some animations details added, but the colors look darker and saturated

>>42587745Yes, THE HEVC torrent haver, not just one.
>>42587745I noticed these issues when i was working on the AVC version, however i forgot to check season 2 so the incorrect episode numbers are likely still prevalent there.
>>42587745>>42587797Reminder that streamings use the production order which is different from Hub/DiscoFam airing order.
>>42587745Yes, some of these issues are also there. I have not checked if the episodes are what they say are.Left side is the amazon AVC one, right side is from wikipedia.
>>42587797Okay. So no 15 Crystallings in the AVC torrent?>>42587798I expected it to be something like that, but for parity, it should be changed still. Also, it seems like they selectively use the production order. Just for Sidekicks is 3.8 in the production order, but still 3.11 in Amazon Prime Video (unless the Torrentanon changed that and not the other ones for whatever reason).>>42587835The titles from the MLP fandom wiki are more reliable than the ones on Wikipedia. For example, on Wikipedia, it is stylised "Suited for Succes" and on the MLP fandom wiki "Suited For Success". The latter stylisation is correct.
>>42587867>MLP fandom wikiLeft side is wikipedia, right is mlp wiki
>>42587885Left is prime, right is mlp wiki
>>42587885Oh yeah, MLP fandom is correct in how inconsistently "Part 1" / "Part 2" is stylised with either a comma or a dash and so on at the end of two-parters, but I think in that case it is probably justified to just stick with one stylisation for all two-parters despite what is correct.
>>42587867>So no 15 Crystallings in the AVC torrent?kek definitely not>>42587888Thanks, I'll get these fixed up in a bit.
>>42587918Also add subtitles, and fix the cover images for S3, all of the episodes have the same.
>>42587925Yeah, the cover images were all over the place in the HEVC torrent.
>>42587640Funny, that scene actually isn't too bad, a lot of gradients and sparkles to look at.https://slow.pics/c/yZV7z1g3https://slow.pics/c/I0GBPM7RThe US iTunes AVC copy is BY FAR the worst, the actual scene view isn't even as big, so like 10% of the screen is cut off on all sides, the colors are also terrible.The AVC Amazon seems like it may be a winner here, the Amazon HEVC isn't bad, but it's just too bitrate starved in comparison, blocking starts showing up a lot and the lines start to smudge too much in some places.The Australian iTunes is better, but has the damn madman intro for no reason, it also has a FUCKLOAD of noise in a lot of solid colors, which means some retarded monkey didn't even bother to tune the encoder for animated content.I would say the Amazon AVC may very well be the superior encode, but I would like to look at some episodes from later seasons since season 1 always looked bad for some reason, it may be more 1:1 in later episodes.
>>42587925>>42587930In the HEVC rip, S1-S3 had the same standard season cover art for each file, but all the rest had just a relevant screencap as the cover, whereas with the AVC rip, only S3 had the standard cover art, and everything else had a relevant screencap as the cover art.I think it would be real neat if we could use fan-made title cards as the cover art for whichever episodes that has one, like pic related.
These YouTube-tier thumbnails are so lame
>>42588234Boomer interns trying to please tiktok kids.
>>42588209Yeah... remember when Rainbow saved Rarity in Episode 4 of Season 9?Anyways, the YouTube channel Sparklex has pretty awesome thumbnails for his MLP uploads.
>>42588093Nice. I guess the best rips could be made from German BluRay by replacing all German writings with English fragments from Amazon. Also BluRay colors look off, seems like Rec.709 - Rec.601 color matrix issue.
>>42588288Season 1 is in PAL and has speedup on the BluRay too, so it's not perfect without transcoding it down and resampling the audio anyway.But the fidelity is there at least.
I do have the Loyaldk 4K ESRGAN upscale from a few years back. That one I believe they trained uncompressed assets for the model and I thought it looked great with very few artifacts. Entire sets of FiM, EqG and other misc stuff got upscaled that way. Loyaldk had them up on the cloud but I think they have since made it available as a torrent and on YayPonies.I will download the Amazon stuff, mainly to see if there's a better copy of the censored S2E14 that I keep alongside my upscaled uncensored copy. I'm also the MLP DVD torrent guy with essentially a complete North America DVD/BD set so I can also compare from any of those.
>>42588288>German BluRayIt's shit. See >>42588292. Also if you "replace writings" that means a re-encode -> quality loss.I remember back during the Derpy censorship drama (or maybe a bit later?) the yayponies staff went to great extent to remove the censorship. The only uncensored source was the itunes 720p rip, and they did not want to re-encode the whole episode, so if I recall correctly they spliced at the I frames or something.
>>42588369Worth noting that I'm pretty sure Season 2 doesn't have the PAL speedup.Also Rainbow Dash's voice is even cuter in the PAL speedup, she's pitched up just a little bit like everyone else as a result.
>>42588369YayPonies version is just Derpy's eyes from 720p pasted on top of 1080p. You can see that the eyes are more blurry than the rest of the frame. I'd expect them to re-rip it from leaked flash assets by now. Wish I had a proper PC instead of this obsolete potato one, I'd try doing it myself.
>>42588356Where can I find the 4K upscales of EQG stuff? It's not on yayponies that I can tell. I always thought they were most in need of upscaling because so much was only ever released on youtube.
>>42583434Rainbow Roadtrip is not on PrimeBummer
>>42588390This is the torrent of the Loyaldk 4K ESRGAN upscales. It looks like the torrent isn't dead yet.magnet:?xt=urn:btih:73605190116277ddda6bc24ee91c08a2af27a7e2&dn=%5BLoyaldk%5D+My+Little+Pony+4K+Upscale&tr=udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80&tr=udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337/announce
>>42588404It's available on Amazon Video to be bought/rented, but it's only available in the UK, so i would need an amazon account with a britbong's card linked just to rent and attempt ripping it, which is really annoying but it's possible.
>>42588413Are they better the the yayponies 4k upscales?
>>42588481Ooh, nice. Think you can do it? RR is really fucked by being on these obscure streamings with shitty encoding parameters like Aussie STAN etc, those confetti scenes get butchered into an absolute mess.
For my personal collection of G4 copies, mine is a mixture of 4K ESRGAN upscales, some 1080p WEB-DLs from YayPonies and Usenet and some Blu-ray remux files. With the 4K ESRGAN copies, some FiM episodes were sourced from the washed out color releases I replace with any 1080p copy that I think is the best (haven't checked Amazon yet). Any episodes with some upscaling issues such as that live-action puppet scene in S5E7 I replace with 1080p. Anything with change in content such as censored Derpy I keep multiple copies. EqG shorts and music videos 4K upscales were sourced from poor YouTube releases with mono audio so I substitute with 1080p Blu-ray remux.
>>42588485>>42588485They should be much of the same kind of upscales as on YayPonies. The difference with the torrent is that the content that's not part of the main FiM episode lineup (shorts, EqG, misc.) are represented.
>>42588381>obsolete potato oneAnon, you probably have a 10 times more powerful PC than whatever they used when making the episode. It's been 15 years.Also, yes that's what they did. I was trying to point out how they avoided re-encoding the whole episode to avoid quality loss.
>>42584584I don't have a full list but it's just a couple of scenes like these where they added some extra glowing Nothing too relevant but you know, sometimes autism kicks in
>>42588538Color comparision for reference
>>42588492I'll see if i can get an account that's able to rent it, shouldn't be too hard afterwards.Speaking of Rainbow Roadtrip, has anyone checked the premium enhanced bitrate version of this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiZGAjdO7lM
>>42588544I don't get why they made random scenes so dark on BluRay
>>42588485>>42588518A, uh, friend tells me these are exactly the same files, one could even hardlink them and seed both torrents without using 2x the space. Theoretically, of course.
I'm still on the old 1080p itunes rips from yayponies.Is there a new meta for complete episode sets?Am I missing out on high quality pones?
>>42588783Watchin' the episodes on the 24/7 livestreams on the MLP YouTube channels.
>>42588783Same. I do vector art so I'm always looking for the highest quality eps to source any colors I can't find in the FLA files.Also my inner OCD demands that I have the best quality possible regardless.
>>42573759>Spanishwhich Spanish? Can you post a sample?
What's the highest quality source for uncensored S2E14? Also, where did The Cartoon Archive from Youtube get their uncensored copy from?

>>42589913Thanks! Though it appears that the torrents are dead
>>42588538Did we ever get an explanation as to why the red spots happened? Was it a color value overflow or something?And why did the German Blu-Ray version have altered visuals?>>42588568They slapped a really ugly grey tint filter over the whole movie, so scenes that are already dark looks muddy, and the brighter scenes are like you have seasonal affective disorder.
>>42590489>And why did the German Blu-Ray version have altered visuals?All I remember is it having less crop on the first minute, probably because they used a textless piece for localization. I wonder if the entire movie with fuller picture is hidden somewhere in hasjew's vault.

Updated torrent for Amazon Prime AVC: https://u.pone.rs/kspvyude.torrentThe titles should be nearly the same as the ones on mlpwiki now, I've also updated the thumbnails on many of the episodes since they were either not in order or looked extremely retarded (especially S2).Episodes which had their order/title fixed:S01E01, S01E02, S01E05, S01E14, S02E01, S02E02, S02E11, S02E12, S02E13, S02E25, S02E26, S03E10, S04E11, S04E21, S05E04, S05E07, S05E22, S05E26, S06E10, S06E13, S06E16, S07E06, S07E17, S08E07, S08E10, S08E15.

>>42591606Yes
>>42591622Is it an account you care about?
>>42591599Fuck if I knew you were going to update it, I'd sync DVD audio for Three's A Crowd to replace the streaming one which sounds like it's coming out of a pot.

>>42594171You also know the best rips for the Best Gift Ever shorts and Season 8.5 shorts or were these only ever on YouTube?
>>42594847
>>42594881A lot of shit like that was just cast to the wind. All of this shit should have just been extras in a Blu-ray box collection, but Hasbro is run by retarded pony hating demons.
>>42594881Unfortunately, these shorts were never released in good qualityI think Discovery Family uploaded them to their VOD service but it had the usual badly encoded problems (wrong fps, ghosting, pixel fest)I do recall some 1080p uploads from an European channel (i think it was PlusPlus too) but those were a bit faster due to the NTSC > PAL conversion, and the channel logo on it was HUGE. Not sure if those are still available, and it would be a quest to find them because the titles were not in English.Ironically, the best versions right now are the official youtube uploads, which of course, aren't really good as half of them are on 720p only.There's a possibility that these shorts were added in higher res to some of these 1 hour compilations videos on the Hasbro's channels but it's too much of a hassle to check every single upload just to find out if they're there or not.tl;dr: the YouTube rips from Hasbro's channel are the "best" and only available versions right now.
>>42591649You can still do itAny help is appreciated
>>42594171>To date these are the best rips availableGrim
>>42596238NTA but if a master set is the intention, I may could help there.I have like, every piece of official physical pony and EQG media that i could get my hands on in this world.I think season 9 is the only one that didn't get a physical release anywhere on earth except Malaysian 4:3 bootlegs, and I could never find the UK release of Rainbow Roadtrip.That being said, I don't really see the problem here. The audio doesn't sound worse to me, the Amazon rip has EAC3 and a higher bitrate, it is quieter, but that's not necessarily a bad thing...am I missing something?
>>42595346
Preserve the pone!
It seems like the best place to ask.I want to make some meta data of every episode (like timestamped transcript, camera movement, scene background, when and where characters are, etc. yeah don't ask, I don't know why myself...)Is there any "definitive" version of the show or is it a everyone do it's thing thing?Because right now, I have a mix of mistery source and mixed yay ponies (a mess) and I would like not to change the timestamp if I have a dud version or something.>>42596426Nice, I must do something alike too
>>42597334I'd just expect some people would need to input timestamp offset for their own copies. Stuff like that still sometimes happens with external subtitles, or you might have some people who need to account for that preroll in Aussie version iirc. Let's hope you don't need to account for 25fps versions (that's still doable), or for some secret versions with scenes cut out, because someone decided you can't have that much plot in a kids show.Speaking of your idea, does Amazon still have that overlay for live action media where currently visible actors are listed? Does it have something similar for pony?
>>42594881>>42596161I found some 4K upscales of the shortsSource is still the 720p YouTube rips but at least it looks slightly betterhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jywA5jcAvir15s5bGcZFqMW59ZvZhjgP
By the way, is there a working link for the leaked file of the movie? The 120GB one
>>42597660>>42579304
>>42594881>BGE shortsThese ones? https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/My_Little_Pony_Friendship_is_Magic/Animated_shorts>S8.5 shortsWhich ones?
>>42597453Unfortunately, as I want to mark camera change and such, I need to be frame perfect (if used then for machine learning, or even just for automatic ytp).Or even if I want to tag audio for voice extraction of whatever.So, yeah, I would have to settle for one version, and stick with it...But now that I state it, I also wanted to make a "ultimate multilingual mkv for mares enjoyers", so the only logical solution is for me to curate my own version I guess...Damn, it will take ages.Real time actor info.Yeah, remember that. Not my main goal, but that would be very easy once I tag all the mares (which is my main goal with background and camera move/changes).I will put it in a git repo too, as it's text data and it doesn't contain any copyrighted info, it should be perfectly legal to distribute.Could be funny to feed everything back to an AI and ask it to regenerate an episode from the data.

>>42597654Thanks, and it even has all the other MLP YT stuff.>>42598130Retard-kun, the shorts that were released between and likely play between Season 8 and 9. They are included in the link that you posted under 'Miscellaneous' after the first three which are the BGE shorts.
>>42598141Would the multilingual part even work because of differences in PAL and NTSC?
>>42598444Covering from PAL to NTSC isn't particularly difficult.Correctly syncing all the audio tracks is what takes forever.
>>42598637Streamings usually just slow down the audio speed of yuro dubs and that's it.
>>42598647You can adjust the speed of audio without distorting the pitch, most encoders are just too lazy to do it.The mane 6 sound cute in the German S1 bluray because their voices are pitched up with the PALspeedup, but it didn't have to be that way.
>>42598203Oh shit thanks for this. I only had the 20.09 (High Quality) archive. Gonna start downloading this once my NAS arrives.
>>42598691>You can adjust the speed of audio without distorting the pitchThe algorithms are bad, all of them. Nobody has developed a proper stretching method specifically for PAL to NTSC case, it's just tools for random stretching for music production etc which don't properly analyze the sound and cause ugly artifacts. As a torrent releaser recording local dubs it's annoying as fuck. I keep looking up new methods at least once a year but there's still nothing worth the shit. Not even ai slop is trained to deal with it. Just needs something that won't double a sound fragment with sharp short sound and look up for a smooth part of audio nearby. Is it really that hard to make? I don't know shit about programming though so can't help but wait for a miracle.

>>42602075If only a few files were modified, you can get e.g. sha256sum of all files in both folders, then hardlink the files that are the same, which should save you a lot of space. Just make sure you won't accidentally hardlink different files, as that might cause your torrent client to modify them repeatedly when requested by a peer and the hash from either torrent doesn't match, so it'll try to "fix" it, but then there will be the other torrent that will no longer match. You get it.

>>42597660>120I thought it was more like 135 GB. It should be possible to use the leak for two things. 1. Lossless conversion to another source. I suspect it is a production file and was not meant for minimum file size. Anyone doing this should be careful with color spaces.2. Hybrid encode with blu, leak, web. Color correct the leak to match the blu better. There are screenshots on derpi that make it look like the leak is just unfinished and un color corrected, not the true master. I remember some cliff scene.What was up with all the scootaloo color correcting back in the day? They were supposed to match the tv more closely but why did iTunes look so dull? Was it supposed to?
>>42582221What is average episode size?Isn't this about the size of AVC iTunes rips? Is the encode just better?
>>42604039>I thought it was more like 135 GB130>Lossless conversion to another source. I suspect it is a production file and was not meant for minimum file size.Ehh... it's DNxHD, it's not super compressed, but it is still lossy. There are a few episodes in the same format.>What was up with all the scootaloo color correcting back in the day?Autism, and lack of better alternatives.>why did iTunes look so dull? Was it supposed to?Probably not, but it did and they never fixed it, hence the scootaloo autism. The Amazon rips in this thread don't have that problem though.Something i could never track down are the episodes listed here.https://shimmermare.com/4k-pony-projectS04E21 specifically, and a few others, I have NEVER seen these episode files, nor where any of these project files came from.They were never in the leaks, just some mov files of a few episodes.Anyone know anything about those files?If i could render out all of those to 4K I would do that shit in a heartbeat.
>>42604045The iTunes rips are ass.Read this post.>>42588093
>>42604131Why not just message him? Worst case you get ignored and nothing happens
>>426041314.21 - Testing Testing 1, 2, 3 is treated as 4.22 in the leak due to that being the production order. You should probably have them? I found working torrents for these anyways: https://u.pone.rs/srctgtty.txt
>>42603556
It is theoretically possible to stack together encodes to create a master better than any of the input. I don't know if any one has done this on any show. Mathematically, imagine compression is a function of the master production file, xiTunes f(x) Amazon g(x)TV h(x)...The goal is to recover x for each pixel of each frame. Encoding is lossy but with so many sources you would have a tighter range of probable x. X is assumed to be identical across encodes. >>42587745The Saddle Row Review" is called "Saddle Row & Rec" etc.Looks like internal production codename.
>>42604936Too much unnecessary effort.
>>42604350Fucking hell, the mean six is in here?I may have some work to do...
>>42604936Not possible, not even in theory. Reason being is that lossy encoding is not a two way function, not even close to that. If it were it would be lossless.The encoder dynamically and iteratively picks the result, it is not a simple static function.Just like how you can't reverse a hash. Even if you have multiple hashes (with different algorithms) of the same data, you are not any closer to getting back the original. Best you can do is verify you got the original. But you can't do that with video encoding if you don't know the exact parameters used for encoding, exact version of the encoder, etc.
>>42591649The iTunes US version on YayPonies uses the audio from the DVD and it maches with the Prime Video version
>>42605603Or at least it sounds better. Didn't notice much difference desu
>>42605094Encoding isn't a cryptographic hash. It's designed so that f(x) ~= x. Imagine a human taking input frame(s) and hand drawing what they believed x should be. >>42592337>>42592341All the confetti is a near-solid color with an outline, probably 3D CGI or a 2D after effects plugin. Every encode of this scene will resemble the master file.If a human can do it, an algorithm can be made for it.And, there are existing AI denoisers that are already designed to create approximations of x when fed f(x).From a machine learning perspective, it's not about getting x exactly, but about finding plausible x given the inputs.
>>42598773It ought to be easy. Windowed FFT, move frequencies down, resample, inverse FFT. I don't know why that wouldn't work. Maybe the FFTs need to be too wide to make it real-time and people don't like that? Maybe you get some kind of artifacts? I wouldn't know because I haven't tried it. But this ought to be something that was solved 30+ years ago.>>42606508I would guess that this is quite difficult to do. The problem is that you have f(x), g(x), h(x), and you don't know precisely how they're related to x or to each other. If you average them, then you'll just corrupt your cleanest copy with a dirty one. Basically, you're solving an inverse problem, and while people do that all the time (numerical PDE type stuff) it involves building a model for f, g, and h. That's going to be hard unless you know how the encoding was done.

Okay, so I have some inside information about everything to do with MLP post-production and distribution.The DNX files are the original source files exported by post production at DHX Vancouver, which were then delivered to Hasbro Studios in Burbank (which no longer exists - Hasbro largely dissolved their US-based production and distribution departments and replaced them with the former eOne team in London UK; they also moved brand management of IPs largely to the purview of the former eOne team too when it used to be in the Rhode Island HQ).Hasbro had in Burbank (not sure if they still do this in London) an internal post-production department serving distribution needs, which made conformed versions of these DNX files to many different formats. Almost always, an 'end-user' encoded copy of a Hasbro episode or movie is at least two generations away from the original source export from the producer.Hasbro will internally re-encode the original file from the producer - in MLP's case the DNX - to the formats required by specific distributors, these days, usually a ProRes 422 HQ file, sometimes they will do standards conversion from the native 23.976 to 25 so the licensee only ever receives the standards converted version relevant to their specific needs.I've got evidence that I'm not pulling this out of my ass specifically in re: to FiM, but it's all on backup drives I'll have to dig out when I have a moment. The best I can do immediately is:https://litter.catbox.moe/yzsfnyj3vpv5uzq9.zip

>>42613743https://diskprices.com This >>42614023WD red Pros are really good, but pricey, old ultra stars from ebay are generally good too, but up to prices. One thing to add is you'll also want one or two SSD to act as cache for the rest of the data if you're making a zfs pool, shaves off some of the load from the main drives and helps with file access speed. You don't need anything fancy, just about 128gb or so. Or if you really wanna splooge / want a small box for a Nas you can go all NVMe for everything but that's great nna cost you a lot, although it will be more power efficient.

>>42614296for a while SSD's write life was so limiting they were less reliable than HDD's, is that still the case? or is price the only factor? to me it seems there's less to break on a nand, albeit less to repair/recover if it does go down, which I guess doesn't matter with parity raid
>>42614558No, at this point it's just about the price. And yeah you're right about there being less things to break. Plus if you want to really make things small, you can with nvme SSDs compared to regular 3.5" hard drives. Then again, it'll cost a premium compared to regular old hard drives. Both initially and whenever / if you have to replace any due to age.
>>42614564Learning so many things. My how times have changed. I remember cobbling together a computer and projector from the dump to watch the new pony episodes back in the day.Might try risking it with working-pull solid sas server drives and have extras on hand.
>>42614624Eh i'd say don't get sas drives, the adapter chicanery + getting hardware that would fit it all ain't worth the trouble. If you want the simplest NAS ever, get anything with a USB port or extra SATA ports. Plug in any drive you find ever. And have fun with mergerfs + snapraid (thing related https://noted.lol/mergerfs-and-snapraid-setup-1/)Tye nice thing about this is that you can use drives that are all different capacity with the only caveat being that snapraid needs to be as big as your biggest drive for parity. Besides that you can sprinkle whatever programs you need on top to make it comfy. If anyone ITT is interested I can help with setting shid up.
>>42614558Depends on your usage. SSDs are only good for long term powered-off storage if you only write to them once then put them in a cold place. But if you leave them in a powered state they'll automatically refresh their cells (at the expense of increasing wear by nature of writing data again). In theory a fresh unplugged SSD can hold data for decades but I've seen tests where it starts having errors 2 years in. Worn out SSDs can lose data in less than a year.The best data archiving method IMO is to have redundancy and checksum data. Check your data at least once a year and replace anything that has a failed checksum from a working backup.

>>42623597>>42624392I'd trust the Mare Van
>>42624986We'd all trust the Mare Van and that's why we'd wake up with a note to go see a doctor while missing both kidneys...
>>42608325Bruh I'd take literally anything. I'm always looking for raw files for archive purposes, and especially characters for color logging.
>>42625522No worries Anon, trvst him. He will deliver.
>>42608296Man that would've made SO much more sense.How the hell do these foals go to school EVERY DAY for MULTIPLE YEARS without relearning the same things, all while Cheerilee is the ONLY teacher?Where do the 6 year old ponies get taught? Who teaches them? Why does Cheerilee teach the CMC multiple years in a row? How is she able to teach every subject?
>>42625549Back then, one-room schoolhouses had mixed-age learning, meaning that the teacher would focus on one grade or subject at a time while other students worked independently. Older children frequently assisted the teacher by tutoring the younger ones.
>>42609803Some small things, Anon: The cover images of Apple Family Reunion, Spike at Your Service, Leap of Faith, Student Counsel, A Horse Shoe-In, and Daring Doubt are not from the episodes.
>>42626206Boop for more time to triple check the checklists.
>>42625549That unused school concept would work better for a middle/high school in Ponyville. I can see the CMC going there during their teen years.

>>42619617Tried to do this with ffmpeg but it didn't work.I'll stick with the YP versions for those two episodes for now
one guy mentioned a way to do a 'difference' download so you just get the files that changed? is that a program feature or something else?
>>42630632I mean uh, you can just select which files you want to download and which you don't want to on uTorrent.Also, is it still planned to rip the other dubs off of Amazon Prime Video?
