Big Little Lies Season 1 - All 7 episode combined back to back (UNCUT)*

* Please note: Uncut here means no video or audio was removed or modified from the original studio copy during encoding
or editing; rather than to make you believe that there is some uncut/director's cut version out there.

A) Video H.264 720p (high quality)

Based on the x264 settings and visual enhancing filters various encodes were derived from the original file. These encodes were compared using
video quality assessment tools like SSIM, MS_SSIM & VMAF (default model)*.

Volunteers were shown top 3 encodes side by side to the original video on 2 1080 HDTV screens with 3*H (height of screen) distance from the TV.
4 out of 10 volunteers selecting the file with best VMAF score ...3 could not find any difference between the top 2 files & last 3 of them selecting
the second best file.

*Plz Note:
1) Before comparing the encodes were upscaled to 1080p with loseless settings.
2) Big Little Lies is perfect for the test as it has vivid range of colors and light.
3) Sample file for the test was made by remuxing various types of scenes (indoor, outdoor, low-light, high action.... etc) present in the season 1.
4) Volunteers did not know about the scores during the selection process.

For best viewing experience watch the video from max distance 3*H, where H is the screen height...check the link below to find your TV screen height:

Hence, VMAF & SSIM will be the quality meterics and standard de-facto for my future releases. Sorry for the delayed release as we were working for the best...

Nearly got 1080p quality at 720p file size...see it to believe it...sample file available for a quick view.


B) Audio Track 1: 640Kbps AC3 5.1 Dolby(Default)

C) Audio Track 2: 192Kbps AAC  Stereo (Night Mode)

Plz check the .nfo file for details.


F) IMPORTANT for proper download/upload:

1) I always seed with forced encryption, So please set your clients to use encryption.

This forces clients to establish only encrypted outgoing connections. Any peer that doesn't support
encryption will not be connected to.

E.g.

1) Qbittorrent: "Prefer encryption OR Require encryption"

Source: https://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php?topic=2968.0

2) Utorrent: Protocol Encryption "Enabled OR Forced"

Source: http://help.utorrent.com/customer/en/portal/articles/163493-client-features?b_id=3883

Although selecting Required/Forced impairs the ability to connect to all peers.Hence, choose "Prefer/Enable" if you are
downloading some other files side by side.

3) Please use port forwarding for better uploads.

4) Finally, please seed.

G) Advantages of combining all episodes:

1) Efficient backup
2) Nonstop entertainment
3) Due to long running time the 2nd audio track can be used to watch the show in the night without disturbing others.
4) Hardcoded subtitles ....you need not bother about searching & downloading them.


H) You can verify SHA-256 checksum for corrupt downloads OR duplicate/modified torrents.

SHA-256 of main video file (~ 7.97 GB): 3EE1DEF7BA453F77703C60358586A6145E9905244EB0C70DADAFF2BEF24868FB
