0. Intro
|
|
.
|
|
Here it is. Retail SD x264 ruleset for the releases of/from Baltic countries.
|
|
Includes Lithuanian, Estonian, Latvian and Russian language releases. Go to
|
|
Wiki to learn more about Baltic states. LT EE and LV are the official
|
|
languages and Russian is a 2nd unofficial language because of past historic
|
|
events. Russian is valid only for releases that contain Baltic subs and
|
|
such retail dvds are very common in the Baltics.
|
|
|
|
Decided to go for crf x264+.mkv rips because the quality is twice as good
|
|
and the size is smaller than .avi. And all of you know that XviD and .avi is
|
|
a dead combo nowdays and x264+.mkv is the real deal, we don't live in the
|
|
early '00s, technologies are getting better and better and we need to move
|
|
on. So thank you .avi and xvid for everything and now you can retire.
|
|
|
|
We can't follow those outdated official XviD rules anymore. We've had enough!
|
|
We hope others will follow our path and release official Retail SD x264 rules
|
|
for English too.
|
|
|
|
We were inspired by the new TV SD x264 ruleset and have stolen a couple of
|
|
ideas :)
|
|
|
|
And sorry for the retarded English :)
