you've got giganews, you should be able to download it from alt.binaries.mpeg or .multimedia, that's where i got some of mine.

depends on what you're looking for, the newsgroups have the full 217MB high-quality VCD files

true, Morpheus does offer smaller file's but I can convert it to Hi res then Convert it to Hi-def Real Video

but if it was compressed once (to readmedia), you cant make it like the original because a lot of the information was lost. try ripping an audio track, compressing it to MP3, then converting it back to a WAV. even though it's the same size as the original, it sounds like crap in comparison. converting a small RM to a large MPG does nothing but add useless filler to make it a bigger size; the quality is still the same as the RM (ie, bad).

Well, I convert the MPEGs to AVI & Convert the ausio to PCM 44K/s, Then convert it to RM "Craig" wrote in message news:[email]...

This is too funny to not comment on. I don't think I'll bother trying to explain why this is so dumb, though. Perhaps everyone should post the episodes at 1 pixel X 1 pixel and then we can all simply convert them to a higher resolution format. I'm going to convert mine to 1600x1200 so that I can use my monitor to its full potential. That will work, right?

Just so this isn't completely off-topic: Just don't forget our deal -- I sit through this and later tonight I get anal. You hear me? No matter how neat I want the house, you have to clean it.

I can't believe they got to say that on TV...

Bradley I would say, "come again?" And then I would laugh because I said come.

either leave it as the original MPGs, or make it a tiny RM. making an RM that is the same file size as the original MPG is useless and probably not as good since RM has proven to be inferior to MPG. compressing the original MPG to an RM with the same bitrate is useless because it's the same thing. if you need to make them smaller, i'd go with AVI (divx) since it's MPEG-4 and much better quality than RM. basically, stay away from RM unless you need to transfer them via 56k modem.

the process you described has an unnecessary middle step; just convert it straight to RM. the RM format has a specified bitrate, and no matter what you do before it gets to that, the end result will be the same.

the 1X1 pixel is a bad idea, I did this with FlaskMpegDECSS(DVD>MPEG converter) I ripped it from the DVD 1 pixel by 1 pixel and then used Virtual Dub to resize it, it made the picture blurry "Craig" wrote in message news:[email]...

yeah but what Audio codec should i use to make the audio good quality but a small size

44K/s PCM can be up to 200-300MB audio alone "Craig" wrote in message news:[email]...

MP3 is just fine. human voices can usually go as low as 64Kbps and sound perfectly fine. might as well make it mono, too, it will cut the size in half, and with this show you don't really gain anything with stereo.

another analogy that might make more sense: blow up a photograph. it may become bigger in size, but it doesnt let you see any more detail than the original.
