Persona non grata
Chester or at least that's what my neighbour tells me his name is.Originally Posted by pootystomp
Or course he could be lying as he's Black and that's what they do.
Anyway he may be a liar but let me tell you that man sure can dance.
Btw my other neighbour is Chinese so I suspect the M.D. thing is just a cover and he's really a ninja.

Thats seems to be a blanket redeeming value.Anyway he may be a liar but let me tell you that man sure can dance.
Sure Chris Brown beat the shit out of his girlfriend, but have you seen him dance?

I'm sorry but strict size restrictions like that kinda beat the purpose of HD content. 4GB may be plenty for some animation stuff, but not every movie can be compressed so efficiently. Plus, a general size restricition doesn't take into account that certain movies need a higher bitrate to look good, or are simply longer. It's similar to the scene btw. - their rather inflexible size restriction rules are one of the reasons for the comparatively poorer quality of scene rips, the ones the thread starter tries to avoid.
I'm not saying that the niche PixelHD are trying to fill isn't legit, as there are plenty of users with shitty media players like the PS3, not to mention the billions of people with ghetto internet access. But I'm not exactly sure it's what the thread starter is looking for. Thanks for the tip though, even if it's not really relevant for me as size and bandwidth are a non issue.

Being labelled a Race traitor is totally worth it if it get's me a spot in the Country Club.Stop acting white, you.
As for the Pixel.HD application bullshit,seriously stealing stuff off the internet isn't akin to applying for a job at the Pentagon.Not to mention that if tracker protocol holds true to form, the person/people doing the judging are like < 20 and are themselves of dubious morality and extremely limited life experience and really in no position to be passing judgment on anyone.

Whatever his fucking name is
I think that's part of the art of it though. (The particular art, of PxHD.) I know though, for longer/more important movies, I'd def try to spend more time preparing a download and preferring to wait. But for most, it should satisfy the brief of what it's intended/good for.
I don't think OP specifically was clear about avoiding scene encode types - we'd need clarification from him. he may have meant that 'non scene tracker' means it'll have more obscure content that he's after etc. stuff that has stronger presence on p2p places now (with new, p2p-done rips rather than super-obscure scene Xvid DVD-rips now almost long-gone)...
I agree with you, about p2p always, always, being higher quality than scene in terms of content quality (in anything - movies, music, whatever...not sure about ebooks, but probably there as well, if there's ways to improve encode/release quality) - I can only think of software cracks being an exception in terms of quality of releases when you compare the two worlds together
Hearty
Games and application cracks are the only domain left for the 'real' scene, that's true. But to be fair, it's the by far most sophisticated and important part, as crackers 'make' the scene, it's the core essence of it. It takes a lot of skill and brains to crack modern copy protections and some of the best scene crackers have decades of experience in that area, nothing P2P and other forms of piracy can catch up with in foreseeable future.
Still, P2P probably already has the better / faster suppliers, especially as far as movies are concerned, as they continue to outpace the scene on important releases more often than not despite (usually) putting more effort in their encodes. Back in the day™, it was the scene that had everything and the rest was left with whatever trickled down in their direction (or was not seen important enough to get the scene's attention). But times have changed.
I would disagree there. Sparks has been kicking everyone's ass for being first to release for 6 months or more. HDC / HDW has suffered more than most now Sparky has lost his P2P head and stopped releasing as both Scene and P2P.
Hearty
Sparks have been getting faster in recent times (after getting their arse kicked left and right for months prior to that btw., the 'golden age' of Chinese HD trackers...), but I really wouldn't say that they are always faster these days. Recent example: Evil Dead 2013 - HDWing released it sooner than Sparks, not to mention that they had the full Bluray released a day earlier (compared to SceneHD release times - 5 min after scene pre). PublicHD have been consistenly fast with their releases, too.
If anything, the scene has improved after lagging behind for quite a while, so things have gone 'back to normal' a bit. But generally spoken, movies is an area where P2P can more than just compete with the traditional scene, both quality and release time wise.
