HD-torrents (HD-Torrents (HDT) Review)
Hi-DT (720p encodes), vista (mostly 1080p encodes), HDMaNiAcs (1080p encodes), HiDE (720p encodes), BluDragon (they do anime blurays)
KRaLiMaRKo for bluray remuxes
For internal releases, 75% or 50% of the upload is counted. It correlates somewhat with the file size of the internal release. Blurays usually get 50% off because they are huge. Encodes usually only get 25% off because of their small file size.
PTP seems to love Hi-DT releases. They consistently give them the golden popcorn for 720p.

BTN - Review
NTb: Capping 1080i and encoding to 720p. Also some WEB-DL's
HiSD: 576p encodes from bluray or 720p web-dl source
BTN is ratioless as all of us know.
Pixel HD - Review
PS3-TEAM: m2ts 1080p encodes.
PxHD: mp4 1080p encodes.
PxHD Mobies: mp4 720p encodes.
Pixel HD has turned ratioless recently.

HDME.eu (HDME) (Review)
All internal encodes will be Freeleech on HDME.
HDME: Their original release group
INtL (50% sure): Note: Not so sure about INtL since I see it on Awesome HD as well but is listed as internal
"Geagle (one of our HDME encoders) has announced that he wants to make his own encoding group, "INtL" All INtL releases are internal at HDME so not much will change, and they will also be freeleech.
The goal of INtL is to encode movies that normally don't get good encodes, international movies etc, and including many subtitles so they will be available for as many people as possible.
Most of the releases will be what their blog refers to as "full release", meaning the remux comes first, then the 720p and 1080p are released later, meaning people get to choose from 3 different qualities.
iCandy: AVCHD encodes
LegacyHD: encoding under 3 Different tags, via. MobileHD, FourGHD, ReMuXmE
1) MobileHD : These releases are designed specially for your shiny little gadgets such as your new iPad or smartphone!
Standards for MobileHD:
- 1280 x 720p (no cropping)
- 1500 minimum video bitrate (better than avg web-dl)
- 192k aac 2 chan (some early ones have 128k, and the odd 160k)
- sizes are scaled to get the min video bit-rate, run time affects this
- 1.5 - this is the smallest and most common
- 1.75 - medium size
- 2.0 - the largest for long movies
- 2.25 - I may test this as I found LOTR would fail the standards at 2.0g for size (really long movies)
- all files will be mp4, not m4v
- all movies will have posters embedded
- all movies will be iTunes compatible, as in no conversion required, just add file to library
Mobile Devices tested so far:
iPAD 3.2.2 (confirmed)
iPHONE4 iOS 4.2, 4.2.1 (confirmed)
iTouch 4th Gen iOS 4.1 (model: MC540C) (confirmed)
Nokia N8, Samsung Galaxy S, HTC HD7, ZuneHD (confirmed)
Just about any mobile (Win7 included) that can play MP4's and has 720p resolution.
2) FourGHD : These encodes are for regular viewing be it on your laptop, PC Screen or your 55" LED TV!
- 1920 x 1080p (no cropping)
- 3200 minimum bitrate
- 640k AC3 5.1 (with some movies this isn't possible, but best available will be provided)
- all movies will be m2ts format and 4gig in size
- the very occasional movie will be AVCHD DL 8gig ready to burn iso.
3) ReMuXeRs : Standard Remuxes in English language.
Some groups that used to be on HDME:
PS3-TEAM. They left HDME to PixelHD but Gizmo one of the founders remained on HDME to form LegacyHD group.
FraMeSToR (have their own tracker now at BeyondHD)and FLAWL3SS used to be internals but they left and they are not free leech anymore
RsR (Romanian Share Reactor) Romanian ShareReactor (RsR) Review
Most torrents are freeleech on RsR so I am not sure if internals get preferential treatment.
iAPULA - Mostly rips for the Romanian public
Note: 90% sure. I am not sure if they are active anymore. The last release is more than 1 year old
HD-Bits.net/HD-Bits.ro (HDBR). Review
All internal releases are freeleech
HDBRiSe - mostly quality 720P/DTS rips (announced on forum)
All HDBRiSe releases are freeleech
DNL - mostly 720P rips (announced on site)
Most of their releases are not freeleech
EOS (25% sure) is mentioned on forum as an internal encoder of HD-bits.ro but the EOS releases are not freeleech and no new titles have been released for months. Mostly 720P rips. |
