My Blu-Ray rips are always taken DIRECTLY from the actual blu-rays, not re-encodings of an earlier h264 torrent, and not "filled in" with web downloads. HEVC is a superb machine, but it should be given quality raw materials.
To mark the tenth anniversary of the conclusion of the series, I have created a torrent of the entire Battlestar Galactica (2003-2009) series. Included are:
* The 2003 miniseries, in two parts
* Seasons 1-4
* Razor
* The Plan, released in 2010
* Blood and Chrome
* Webisodes
* Deleted Scenes and some extra ones
* Some features
So here is my h265 (HEVC) 10 bit LE high quality 1080p rip of BSG, Battlestar Galactica, taken directly from my blu-ray box set. Unless stated, all video is full HD 1920 x 1080p with 5.1 AAC sound; the deleted scenes and some webisodes are in NTSC DVD resolution, 720 x 480p with stereo sound; these have been de-interlaced.
I also included The Plan and Blood and Chrome, both released after the series finale in March 2009.
Normally I prefer a slow two pass encode, but unfortunately many of the darker scenes are quite grainy (the miniseries is the worst), and x265 tends to allocate too little bandwidth for darker scenes. I therefore used a constant rate factor for most of the encoding. For each video I chose a CRF factor suitable for the material.
The entire collection took about two months to encode; my bandwidth probably will require around 72-100 hours to upload the entire collection, so please be patient - I have suspended all my other seeds during the initial seeding of this torrent.
Enjoy, and please, please, continue to seed after you have downloaded. Please click on a screenshot to view the full version.
Video: 1920 x 1080p | 23.976 fps | h265 10 Bit LE | Chroma 4:2:0
Audio: AAC 5.1 | 448 kbps
