Are non-transcoded .mkv's allowed?

[Rally_AK]

I searched the FAQ's and forums but couldn't find an answer.

I'd like to share a beautiful 780p rip of Jack White's acoustic show in Fargo.

Source: 720p stream (at maximum available 3500kb/s bitrate) > AdobeHDS.php (Untouched Dump, NO TRANSCODING!!). Rip performed in realtime, not from VOD. Once stream ended, trimmed (-s and -to), changed container to matroska (using -c copy and -f matroska).

I guess the answer is yes.

Unfortunately the answer is no. Currently web streams are not allowed on The Traders Den.

There is a thread where there is discussion about the possibility of allowing web casts, but it will be up to the mods to decide whether they are permitted.
