yeah im in there.. its a great site, and the free leech on their releases is amazing.. i still cant see a huge amount of difference between eurekas huge 1080 rips and esirs 720 rips.. but they are both the best in the biz.
im told awesome-hd isnt even doing an invite system.. so if you didnt get in to begin with..

EuReKa are one click encoders, they have a set of variables for the type of movie and they just hit the encode button with no testing. Each source will be different for a HD encode and encoders like ESiR will test which variables to use for each encode and set them accordingly. This is why you often find EuReKas encodes are much larger than a good HD encode which was properly tested. They also excessivley filter encodes with things like sharpening and I even read once they added digital grain because they felt the original source was "to clean." The job of the encoder is to produce a smaller file thats transparent to the original source, not impose their own personal ideas of how a particular movie should look.
Anyone who says EuReKa encodes are the best on the web doesn't understand enough about HD encoding to make an informed decision and has probably been blinded by Rabomils talk of how godlike they are. I laughed so hard when they started their own tracker because they couldn't handle the critisism at BitHDTV, the truth hurts I guess.

It all depends on whether or not you're a purist. Purists will hate Eureka's encodes, others may not. But personal attacks on Eureka's fans like claiming they don't understand HD encoding just doesn't fly. You either like their enhancements or you hate them. (I personally am not a fanboy of any one group so don't try to paint me as a Eureka lover.)
Not sure what that file's gonna do? Check it with ANUBIS - Analyzing Unknown Binaries
Is that site DOWN FOR EVERYONE OR JUST ME?

True... I do know shit tons about encodes, when I say shit tons, I mean it.It all depends on whether or not you're a purist. Purists will hate Eureka's encodes, others may not.

But, I like to LOOK of Eureka encodes (for the most part), point being that everyone has different tastes and different eyes and different opinions. Opinions differing from yours dont mean said people are misinformed.
had to say it, sorry.

Totally pointless discussion, and OT, if you don't like eureka's releases just don't download it, it's simple as that...

the discusion wasnt if we like them or not, it was working into a comparison.. ppl who dont like them wont dl them, your comment is pointless

why will purists hate Eureka encodes?. .. i have downloaded many and compaired them to an original blu ray i have purchased and the encode is almost exactly the same.
