REFiNED and EuReKA
"KingBen(666)" is as public as you can get. Originally from Kingdom-KvCD (Public torrent forum) he started with releasing KvCD, he then went on fixing scene releases :frusty:. Need I mention aXXo or FXG? :shutup:Quote:

Since I haven't been there for long, I haven't seen many of their releases so far, but what I have seen is pretty good. :)Quote:

WiKi is actually pretty darn good. Checked a few more of their releases now, and those guys know how to encode for sure. They should be in the list at least, would deserve it more than a few of the others listed.
ESiR, because my HDTV is 720p

Eureka releases usually are very good, and not all of them are huge. For compatibility reasons, they are my favourite 1080p group, as explained earlier. Just an example: ESiRs 1080p Blu-Ray rip of Transformers, which isn't exactly small either (around 12.5GB), will not play back properly on hardware players, due to the relatively high number of reference frames used. Eureka's release (the repack, of course) is around 14.5GB, but probably the very best rip of that movie I have seen so far. Like all Eureka releases, it will play back on hardware players with no problems whatsoever, and the quality is excellent.
WiKi definitely release some good stuff indeed. Their Iron Man 1080p Blu-Ray rip is very very good, for example, and their 720p rips are excellent also, at least the ones I have seen so far.
P.S.: Before you mention it: those 'popcorn' movies, Iron Man, Transformers and such, are probably the best choices for comparing encodes. Not only are they action packed, with a lot of fast action scenes etc., the Blu-Ray source usually is of excellent quality also, both video and audio quality wise.
All hail China! Seriously, the chinese HD groups, P2P in particular, need to get more attention and props! Just checked the samples of both 1080p rips of Benjamin Button, done by CHD and HDS, and they both are excellent! No comparison to the (undersized, crappy audio, or both) scene crap released so far.
esir for me
I always liked Esir rips as well.
Esir-eureka-wiki-cinefile
hmm, hard to tell:shutup:
esir, ctrlhd, sinners and eureka ofc.
Recent example of a good scene rip for a change:
Valkyrie.720p.BluRay.x264-REFiNED
two hours, 6.55GB, ~6300 Kbps video, 1.509 Kbps DTS audio
REFiNED are one of the better scene HD groups, their crap ratio is rather low. It's a decent movie that deserves a good rip.
REFiNED and SiNNERS are great in my opinion. They release lots of great films and you can trust that it will be high quality.
I agree. SiNNERS have done some pretty good 720p rips in particular, and like I said, REFiNED are very reliable, too.
In my opinion, ESiR, EuReKA and CtrlHD :)
1080p rip is once again 'oversized' (8.75GB, 2h movie)), just like REFiNED did with Quantum of Solace, as discussed earlier in this thread. Nice to see that some scene groups do not meticulously stick to the 'size rules', which often don't make any sense.
ESiR and CtrlHD and another New Group is Great to his name Z@x cause I get more Rips From them and it's Like the best For me ATM
Yes Z@X team have done pretty work lately and their encodes are great hope they expand their releases more than just being in Bit-HDTV
ESiR is the best out there
I think ESiR and maybe DON are the best!
As said above, HDBITS internal groups FTW~~!! :)

The only 'critique', if you can actually call it that, I have is that they never seem to integrate subtitles in their releases. While this good in a way (I don't understand Chinese, hence I don't need Chinese subs), some of the foreign language movies could do with Englih subs at least, especially when they are not provided externally (usually, they are though). IMHO, all releases, no matter where from, and no matter what language the film has, should have English subs integrated at least, other languages optionally.
I totally agree.Quote:

Ya I totally agree we always have english for sure and try to find as many others as we can. It does take time to get em all synced right if you cant find ones already synced but it makes the release that much better if you include subs. I personally have subs turned off on my mediacenter but I still feel they should be there as an option.
ESiR and Eureka
Eureka, ESiR, DON, CtrlHD.
Downloaded TCCoBB from Z@X, it was great quality as well.
WiKi just released Valkyrie ...im impressed by the time!
Hmm? The scene rip by REFiNED has been out for a few days already, and it's not too shabby, as discussed earlier in the thread.
P.S.: It seems like the WiKi guys actually followed the discussion on here. They have integrated English subtitles, amongst others, in the release. Great going! :)

But from my limited experience, I have to say that I prefer CtrlHD over ESiR for 1080p (ESiR remain my favourite 720p group, together with WiKi). Both are great groups, no doubt, but I have yet to see a CtrlHD 1080p rip that doesn't work well with hardware players, in contrast to a few ESiR rips, as mentioned earlier.
Recent example of a quality CtrlHD rip: Valkyrie.2008.1080p.BluRay.DTS.x264-CtrlHD
Level 4.1 12Mbps x264 video, DTS 1.5Mbps audio, two (!) commentary audio streams (.ogg), English subtitles integrated.
Picture and sound quality are excellent, obviously. The only thing missing to perfection are chapters, which the .mkv container supports. The (good) REFiNED rip discussed earlier in this thread for example had chapters, quite a few other REFiNED rips had chapters, too, if I remember correctly.
Alright, and maybe low-bitrate AC3 instead of .ogg (commentary streams) for increased compatibility.
P.S.: This thread should be moved back to the Bittorrent section, because it's mainly about p2p (=> Bittorrent) HD groups.
Voted EureKA . I'd like to hear peoples thoughts on DON though !
Ehh it's not about the BitTorrent protocol though :pinch:.Quote:
