Status of the 720p Releases

Monday, May 11, 2009 | Posted by OZC | Edit Post
OK, After giving this consideration over the weekend, I've made my decision on how I want to deal with the 720p releases going forward.

I like being able to give people the option to have 720p versions of the episodes, but converting them is taking too much time out from working on new episodes. What I'd like to do is partner up with someone who will work with me to download 1080p episodes, convert them to 720p, and mux them with the audio and sub files. I'll provide the resized 720p subs, since I have been saving them for 1080 and 720 when I finish them off for the 1080 releases.

The reason I want to do it this way is, not only because it frees me up to work on new 1080p releases instead of re-encoding the existing episodes, but it allows me to have more bandwidth for seeding the new releases instead of having to seed both versions of the same episode. It also allows me to save hard drive space by not having 2 versions of each release. I may have a 1.5TB hard drive, but it fills up fast when you have as many Blu-ray rips, audio rips, WIP builds and release builds as I have on here.

As far as the actual releases go, I'm happy to release them as a co-op release, so if you want a group name on the release (such as [OZC-YourNameHere]), that's fine by me. I also don't mind multiple people want to help, since I understand some people don't download certain shows. I would also grant you access to the blog to post up the releases and add them to the episode posts.

If you are interested, please email me at ozcanime@gmail.com, or hit me up on AIM at ozcanime.

Otherwise, I'll post instructions on how to convert them to 720p the way I do it, and I'll put up the 720p .ASS files for download.
