Newbie who wants to get into Uploading, but it confused about everything around video encoding angielski

Hello!

I’ve recently gotten into torrenting. I’ve managed to get myself into a couple of private trackers, and I’d like to start contributing at some point soon.

But, here’s the thing- I’m VERY LOST about how to do that, especially with video. I understand how to create torrents just fine, that’s the easy part.

But when I video torrent titled something like:

Batman Begins 2005 1080p BluRay REMUX VC-1 TrueHD 5.1-FraMeSToR

My mind just can’t wrap around it. I understand the basic terms inside of that, but not how to actually do any of them. Like, I have the Batman Begins BluRay, how could I, sitting here at my computer, re-create that?

Here’s where I’m at. I know that I have a bunch of DVDs/BluRays that I can rip. I usually use MakeMKV to copy files off of DVD/BluRay disks (I’ve done that quite a bit, since I got my home server up and running). When I do that, what do I actually GET off of the DVD? Like, obviously I get an mkv file that has the video and audio wrapped up in it, but how do I know what quality they came out with? What settings should I set up in MakeMKV to get higher quality?

I’m sure all of this has been asked before, but it’s a very hard thing to google properly. I’m real new, and I feel like most of the guides I’ve read so far have been for other software, are out of date, or expect you to already be well versed in all of this. I figure asking lemmy would be a safe bet to finding some good, beginner-friendly guides. So here I am!

Have personally not used it but I can suggest trying this tool out: github.com/L4GSP1KE/Upload-Assistant

On top of the other comments, your private tracker will have a tutorial/rulebook on exactly how new content should be labelled. It's worth checking that out before you start experimenting with encoding quality options.

Here is some basic info en.wikipedia.org/…/Pirated_movie_release_types

As someone has said it pretty much goes [Title][Year][Resolution][Source][Codec(s)-Video/Audio][GroupName]

Title and Year: self explanatory

[Resolution]: 1080p, 2160p, HD, UHD, etc

[Source] Bluray, Webrip, Web-DL, Streaming-Provider, Cam, etc…

[Codec]: This can be a lot but kinda depends on what the uploader wants to mention/bring attention to


<span style="color:#323232;">         Video: x264 (AVC) or h264, x265(HEVC) or h265, AV1,  x266 (VVC), etc...
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">         May also include stuff like : 8bit (SDR), 10bit (HDR),  DV (Dolby), Hybrid
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">         Audio: # of channels (5.1, 7.1)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                     Codecs:  Will tell you if the audio is lossless vs lossy
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                     Examples DTS:X, TrueHD Atmos, DTS-HD MA, TrueHD, LPCM, FLAC [lossless] vs. DTS-HD HR, E-AC3, DTS-ES, DTS, AC3 [lossy]]
</span>

Group Name: Name of group or person that made the file.

Finally there is the container file which nowadays is MKV (Matroska Video file) but you can run into MP4. There are older formats but you don’t see them very often so I wont really mention them.

This is a quick run down but there is plenty of info out there that goes more into detail and you can just google questions like: what is lossless vs lossy?

Hope this helps

liliumstar,

By definition, a remux doesn’t encode the video or audio, so makemkv generally does it’s thing correctly. If you want to make a remux, it’s eac3to and/or makemkv to collect it all together.

smegger,

For the file name it contains the basic information about the file.

Batman begins =title

2005 = release year of the movie

1080p = video resolution

BluRay =source

The rest is encoding and video/audio information about the file

Framestor =release group name

It’s been forever since I last ripped a video, but I remember videohelp.com being a decent source of information
