Hey guys, I really don't know how to decrease the bitrate of AC3 file? Anyone did it already?

Yep, man. The file size is oversized
Actually i try to add russian translation on some Ringu

Ringu.1998.WS.CD2.DVDRip.XviD.AC3-C00LdUdE.[sharethefiles.com.avi [700.93 Mb]

Ringu.1998.WS.CD1.DVDRip.XviD.AC3-C00LdUdE.[sharethefiles.com.avi [696.62 Mb]
rip, because we don't have official russian release. People don't really know the original movie, only remake....

Howbig is that audio file?

Grab the ShitBusters release, it also has 448 audio.
You'd have a nice afr with Russion audio.

AFR? What does it mean

AFR? keyword? wtf?

Indeed, AFR stands for Advanced Filesize Regulation. If your rip fits the simple criteria, you can use the keyword advancedfilesize in your post.

You can then use this to search for only 1/6th, 1/3rd or 1/2 DVDr sized rips:
http://forum.dead-donkey.com/search.php

Simply type in advancedfilesize (all one word) when you do a search, and out they pop. Of course, it relies on people doing AFR rips to put advancedfilesize somewhere in their thread.

Where does it come from?

Its something that's come out of fileheaven.org. The following Q&A comes from their site...

So what exactly do you mean by DVD-R sized files?

The old concept of 1xCD rip has been replaced by a single ~0744 MB file which is 1/6 DVD-R sized.
The old concept of 2xCD rip has been replaced by a single ~1490 MB file which is 1/3 DVD-R sized.
The old concept of 3xCD rip has been replaced by a single ~2236 MB file which is 1/2 DVD-R sized.

We call this the Advanced Filesize Regulation (AFR).


WTH? Are you mofos crazy? What about THE Scene?
Slightly crazy, yes. But seriously, we feel this is way to go.

* To search for these modernly sized releases, just go into the forum search and type advancedfilesize into the search field.

* For Search purposes, all rippers and thread creators for MPEG4 rips should enter the word advancedfilesize into their thread, if the size of the rip complies to the above specifications.*exception see below

* Dual Audio, especially Dual Language rips are somewhat of a dilemma, because many people will strip the audio track of the language they don't need or understand. (hence making the rip non AFR compliant in many cases). So release threads containing rips with 2 different languages should not contain the word advancedfilesize, but can use a search word of their own like dladvancedfilesize (duallanguageadvancedfilesize)

* If however the original audio track + a commentary track is used, most people can use and will keep both audio tracks, which makes the use of advancedfilesize in the thread correct and applicable.

The positioning inside a thread that has been done up to now is to just enter advancedfilesize above the DVD Cover, so that we have some similar structure in release posts and so mods can easier check whether the word has been entered. You can enter advancedfilesize into the thread in any way you please, depending on your preference and thread design, e.g. it can look something like this:



and it will look something this respectively:

advancedfilesize (normal)
advancedfilesize (bold)
advancedfilesize (bold & red)
advancedfilesize (tiny)
advancedfilesize (invisible)
advancedfilesize (tiny & invisible)

Hopefully this will help distinguish not only AFR sized Rips from older sizes, but also put an emphasis on these rips, which are mostly from our very own FH Rippers for the fileheaven community. Having a list of kick ass quality releases from our very own rippers sounds damn good to me

Spud: Fixed the filesizes, and added these two points:

1. DO NOT say "advancedfilesize" unless your post is a release of such a rip. Ask for an afr, but do not use the keyword unless your a professional nonce.
2. If your ripping vobsubs, split out all the seperate languages and release a package, then retards won't complain the subs don't fit because they lack the braincells to manually split out the language they need.

Using external dvdrips + vhs translated tracks is also allowed. Some of ouer groups in contact with all kind of "pop" releasers like DiAMOND, EMERALD etc. Some of them giving credits for videosources, because russian DVD releases are mostly pirate.... It's about "grabbing" the Shitbusters or C00lDude releases. I think C00lDude will be happy to know his work is like a pill for russian DVD sickness.....
Or we are doing some "bad" thing?

hmm, waitamin..you talking my rip, adding Russian audio and making it a Russian "scene" release? And probably retagging it too?

I don't care if somebody sells my rips or your rips/mine audoi sync. We doing it for the people, I don't give a fuck about traders. It's their buisness, not mine.

Taking english/french/whatever dvdrips, addin/sync audio track, spreading. That's all. It's exept of those our DVDRips has been released on DVD in Russia.

Whatever I'll wrote people don't care about filename.

For example: Half credit goes to: Shitbusters/Sickboy/Whatever

Feel free to post our releases on other sites/forums or spreading it to other
networks. Please don't remove the tags or replace them, add if you must.

So when you add another audio track of your own, do you change the file names? If so, to what?
