COMING SOON - 720p Releases!

I received a request earlier asking if it would be possible for me to do 720p versions of my Blu-Ray releases, in order to cut the file size of the downloads. I looked into it and found a way to convert my 1080p raws down to 720p.

The releases will be at 1280x720 for anything encoded at 1900x1080, and for anything else, such as Zeta Gundam (which is 1488x1080), I'll have to figure out the math on the down-scaling.

As a reference, I used the Clean OP1 for Code Geass to test out the conversion (mainly because I was working with it at the time, and it was short, at 1:31). Removing the audio track, the video track at 1900x1080 was 66MB. Down-converted to 1280x720, the file size shrank to 35.4MB.

As an idea, for the average 23-24 minute episode, the Japanese and English audio files are roughly 22MB each, with subtitles clocking in under 1MB all together.

I have a friend that is going to be working with me to help with seeding, but I only see him about once a week. My plan now is to try and release the 1080p builds as scheduled, and the 720p builds will be released weekly.
