3. And after compressing,upload the compressed file back to torrent network
    and  share the  torrent /magnet link on this forum.

4. Make sure the to have at least one seed for the first 3 days of your release.

5. After verification of the requirements, payment will be made .

If more people are interested then the one completing the requirements first at lowest rate will be given the BTCs.

I'll do it. :)  Link seems to be down though.

how long would it take for me to compress it?

Its already in mkv & u want to compress further to reduce size?

Link seems to be back up starting now.

mkv is the container. the correct qusetion would be:
"Its already in h264 & u want to compress further to reduce size?"
Or whatever the video codec of the source file is...

ya i want smaller size,a sort re-encoding .

So can I upload it to any tracker or does it have to be to vo.do again? I'm in the middle of encoding now.

Which link ?

It's back up vo.do was down for a while still a bit slow it seems but it worked.

I had dialup connections thats why some problems.You can upload to any public trackers or public torrent service like btjunke,btmon or isohunt.

Done encoding doesn't look half bad for 1/10th of the size lol

Lol seems your reply was blank?

You said you are done, so where is the .torrentfile/magnet-link?

Whats the size of compressed mkv file ?

I edited the reply . See it again .

About 120 MB

@demonofelru
You did it far sooner than my expectations.Which CPU you are using ?

And please send me the handbrake log file for that encode.You can find in "C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\HandBrake\logs" for XP.


 

Not sure if this works but I clicked copy magnet link to clipboard and this is it

core i7 iMac and will look for the log now.  It wasn't even using 100% of my CPU I think the I/O was the bottleneck or something which is weird since I have an SSD.

Is that you that's downloading it? I see activity so that's good.

Ya its me downloading.It will take me at least 3.5 hrs to download after that i can verify the file.Thanks for compression and one more thing please give your bitcoin address to which payments will be sent.

Ok it's seeding from my home server so it's always on.  Was that log I copied + pasted sufficient or should I continue to look for the .log file?  my address is 1LEH9eyoPjuHtzmFX5SKzhbg8kcrnpyhBr when you're satisfied you can send it there.

Extract from your given log ::

"+ encoder: x264
+ options: mixed-refs=0:weightb=0:8x8dct=0:trellis=0:psy-rd=2.0,0.00:aq-strength=0.1
+ bitrate: 392 kbps, pass: 2"

Are you sure you that you used the following in Advanced H264 options tab
(as given in the screen-shot)

*Reference Frames=16
*B-Frames=16
*Adaptive B-Frames=optimal
*Direct Prediction=Automatic
*weighted B-frames=YES
*Motion Estimation Method=Uneven Multi hexagon
*Sub-pixel estimation=9
*Motion Estimation Range=64
*Analysis=All
*8x8 DCT=YES
*CABAC entropy=YES
*Trellis=1

@demonofelru
Please confirm the details,I have stopped downloading.

The log file could be easily found.Its a text file and its file-name contains the output filename.

Its 1 O'clock night here so,it may be that I could n't respond your messages untill next 7-8 hours.

The log file is supposed to be in ~/Library/Application Support/HandBrake/EncodeLogs/

according to https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/ActivityLog

there is no such thing on my mac. I looked both in the root /Library as well as User.  

I also did a system wide search and only files with the filenames are the actual movies and the original and new .torrent files.

I'll post screenshots of my settings a lot is different between the windows so not sure if you are using an older handbrake version or maybe a difference between Mac and windows versions?

Let me know what to change and I'll re encode it if you want I was originally encoding it to and from a USB HDD but switched to my SSD because it seemed to be severely bottlenecked but it seemed to keep the settings.

I have it next to yours so you can compare.

Edit was at native res so was huge so just linked to it.

The screenshots which I posted are from handbrake version 0.9.4 .

I took a VLC screenshot .It seems that you have not used maximum x264 settings.At maximum settings it looks very impressive at 392 kbps.
I wanted that highest video specifications .

You can see it for yourself .Here is the original screenshot (http://tivr.nuzoka.com/extra/vlcsnap.png)

So can you tell me what to change on those settings to re encode it?

Like I said I was incredibly impressed at how it looked for 1/10th the size here is a comparison between the screen you posted and mine they look pretty much identical so maybe I did do it right but if not like I said I'll re encode just tell me what to change.

The settings for you are

*Enable 8*8 Transform           Adaptive b-Frames=Optimal                    Partition type = ALL.
                                                      
                                         Adaptive Direct mode=Automatic
                                                                                                  Value for trellis should be 2.
Psychovisual
*Enable No DCT Decimation

Rest all are ok .
Let me know if difference in video tab settings also .

there is no 2 for trellis lol there's off encode only or always.

The video tab doesn't differ at all only the advanced tab had different placement and wording.

2 means always for Trellis .Use always .

For Motion Estimation Method use "Transformed Exhaustive".

Ok so I should be good to go now right? I don't want to do it a third time this many writes to my SSD isn't good.

For Motion Estimation Method use "Transformed Exhaustive".

Yep I got that anything else?

Nothing else .I am sorry for that mess .Just let me know when you finish and paste the magnet link like you did previously .

Ok will start now.  No problem I should have checked when I saw that things were listed differently on my end.

Edit: BTW I'm doing the encode on my external HDD this time so to not over write my SSD since OS X doesn't have TRIM yet.  So going to take longer only using like 10% of my CPU.

Maybe nextime it would be better if spndr7 would tell the options for the commandline/cli instead of posting pictures of the gui :) .

Hehe who knows what would happen then I'm allergic to the Terminal :) Some how it would output an episode of Barney's play along or something.

(x264 Advanced Option String)/(Options for the commandline/cli) for the "nextime"

Ok magnet link below

You can send payment to original address when everything checks out.

Something important to note here: Handbrake is pretty terrible.

If you want to properly encode with Handbrake, then... actually you can't. :P
If you want to encode as best you can with Handbrake, get a nightly build (https://build.handbrake.fr/view/Nightlies/). Handbrake includes x264 as a library, not an executable, so you need the latest dev build to get the latest x264. And the latest x264 is always better; even the 3-4 month old build in Handbrake 0.9.5 is missing a bunch of bug fixes and some minor speed enhancements.
The 1.5 year old build in 0.9.4 is missing a lot of very important features.

Well I used 0.9.5 so a little better. 

Payment of 0.99 BTC sent to 1LEH9eyoPjuHtzmFX5SKzhbg8kcrnpyhBr.

Thanks for compressing and uploading.Now you can stop seeding if you don't want to.This time the quality of video was really worth 0.99 BTC, for saving my 1 GB bandwidth and downloading time.

So which program would you suggest?

I think with MeGUI you can customize many things .

A group of people can raise funds(on equal basis) for getting a common popular file compressed.The collected funds will be paid to the compressor and the compressed file will be later shared by all fund raisers.

I've got a quadcore-server with plenty ram and diskspace. It has an 100Mbit uplink. If you are interested in some reencoding, I could do that.

Sorry I spent all my bitcoins  :(
